There is nothing more annoying online than lore purists of any medium

I don't care if Blood Origin "breaks the lore", because this spin-off happens so long in the past that anything that people know NOW about the lore may just simply not apply to that setting, because they just kick-started the entire Witcher universe into creation, which means that everything needs to be figured out via experimenting. Not to mention that to me every person who didn’t read the Witcher in original language as well as people who have bad reading with comprehension skills automatically are not qualified to have any kind of conversation about the Witcher lore, because honeys, translations can and often do change so much shit you wouldn’t even know.

Every single one of those persons is all over the moon with games THAT ALSO BREAK THE LORE as far as books are concerned, but they have no problem with in-game Triss being literally a make-shift baby made from traits of book Triss and book Yenneffer, or that in-game Triss is wearing cleavage, despite the fact she didn’t do it in the books due to scars she got from the Battle of Sodden, or that she suddenly can take elixirs in the game, despite being allergic to them in the books. That’s apparently ok. Lesser vampires existing in the Northern climate, despite the fact that in books it was stated they don’t, is also fine by them. Geralt not being considered DEAD in the games and walking around the world doing quests is also apparently ok, despite the fact games happen in times, when he should be out of this world (game happens 5 years after Northern Wars and even game has the year wrong, because game says it happens in 1270, while in truth it happens in 1273, while Geralt supposedly died around 1268, when he was nearly 100 years old, but in fact was saved by Ciri and transported to another world called Avalon, and technically is considered dead in the books, because it is unclear if he truly died or not, as Avalon is the land of the dead and the journey there could be a one way street, not to mention that his death was prophesized by Ciri, so it’s very likely that even despite Ciri saving him, he could have died due to prophecy). And it is also ok that games are more slavic than books ever were! Books LAUGH at slavic traditions and make fun of us, because it was the purpose of them, to laugh at something that some thickheaded idiot would be proud of and behave like an idiot over, as it is a Polish pastime to laugh at and mock ourselves.

Dziesięć dni temu Internet obiegła informacja, że Andrzej Sapkowski zaczyna pisać nowego Wiedźmina. Tuż po publikacji wiadomości zapytaliśmy pisarza, czy zamierza uznać wydarzenia z gier jako kanoniczne i czy będzie się do nich jakoś w swoim nowym dziele odnosił. Dziś rano otrzymaliśmy odpowiedź o takiej treści:

Wyjaśniam: gra komputerowa w najmniejszym nawet stopniu nie może być uważana za kontynuację cyklu wiedźmińskiego, ani za sequel ani za ciąg dalszy wydarzeń opisanych w ostatnim tomie opowieści "wiedźmińskich", zatytułowanym "Pani Jeziora". Wszelkie adaptacje - filmy, komiksy czy też gry, w tym i gra "The Witcher", są wyłącznie adaptacjami, stanowią całkowicie odrębne byty fabularne, będące dziełem ich twórców. Do spisanych przeze mnie przygód wiedźmina Geralta nie mają one żadnego odniesienia a już absolutnie nie mogą być traktowane jako jakikolwiek kanon - albowiem kanon taki stanowią wyłącznie rzeczy mojego autorstwa, wydane w formie drukowanej. Dlatego też, jeśli opowieść o wiedźminie faktycznie podejmę - niezależnie od tego, czy w formie prequelu, sequelu czy spin-offu - w najmniejszym nawet stopniu nie oprę się na żadnej adaptacji, elementy tych adaptacji całkowicie pominę - w rzeczywistym kanonie opowieści wiedźmińskich nie ma bowiem na nie miejsca.

~ Tylko u nas: Andrzej Sapkowski nie uznaje gier z serii Wiedźmin za kanoniczną kontynuację swoich dzieł by Krzysiek Ogrodnik in gram.pl (published 10.02.2012)

Translation:

Ten days ago, information circulated on the Internet that Andrzej Sapkowski was starting to write a new Witcher. Right after the publication of the message, we asked the writer if he intends to consider the events of the games as canon and whether he will somehow refer to them in his new work. This morning, we received the following reply:

Let me explain: a computer game cannot even be considered a continuation of the Witcher cycle, nor a sequel, nor a continuation of the events described in the last volume of the "witcher" stories, entitled "Lady of the Lake". All adaptations - films, comics or games, including the game "The Witcher", are only adaptations, they are completely separate fictional entities, which are the work of their creators. They have no reference to the adventures of the witcher Geralt written by me, and they absolutely cannot be treated as any kind of canon - because such a canon consists only of things of my authorship, published in printed form. Therefore, if I actually take up the story of The Witcher - regardless of whether in the form of a prequel, sequel or spin-off - I will not rely on any adaptation in the slightest, I will omit the elements of these adaptations completely - there is no place for them in the real canon of the witcher stories.

~ Only here: Andrzej Sapkowski does not consider The Witcher games to be a canonical continuation of his works by Krzysiek Ogrodnik in gram.pl

Sapkowski considers games and the Netflix TV show to be faithful adaptations of his books as long as fanfics are concerned, because he considers as canon only something that he personally creates with his own hands. Blood Origin’s departure from the lore of the books, is therefore ok, because 1) those are different times and not everything is the same as in the original saga 2) it’s not canon just as much as the Netflix show or games, so it can do whatever the hell it wants with the lore. It can play, it can experiment, and it can depart from it as far as it wants in order to tell an interesting new story.

@officialgrandpa I’m writing it, the idea of Jounouchi taking his boyfriend to animal filled places for dates fuels me greatly.

The idea of a zoo was not new to Atemu, his father had owned several large animals in the palace, all gifts from people from neighboring nations and kingdoms. So... that was close to one, right? He had seen some interesting creatures, and of course, if you want to call the temple with stone slabs of monsters a zoo... well...

Anyway, today Jounouchi decided that he needed to see a modern day one, especially since he saw how excited the former king was about the aquarium (Jounouchi knew he did good with how excited Atemu had been when telling everyone about that date the next day).

Happily, the duo got past the front gates and Jounouchi grabbed a map. “Okay, so the Domino zoo has, like, a lot of different areas. Where do you want to go to first?” Atemu looked at the map, seeing there were different sections. One was centered on elephants and giraffes, there was another where arctic animals were. There was a petting zoo, a reptile and amphibian house, a dolphin show, manatee tank, monkey and ape area, and a big cat den. The closest exhibit was a large cage full of birds, and that’s where he wanted to go first.

They weren’t allowed in, but Atemu grinned as he looked at the birds beyond the cage. “Heh, this is so cool! Look at them all!” He wasn’t too keen on birds, especially since that incident when he went on that ‘date’ with Anzu, but if they’re on the other side of something, he was fine.

“Yeah, do ya think Mai would like this exhibit?”

“If it were full of harpies, maybe.” Atemu snickered. “Come on, let’s go see what’s next!”

Jounouchi picked the next one, he wanted to see the big cats. So after ten minutes of walking, and somehow getting lost, they found the area where the lions and tigers were kept. Running up to the railing, Atemu looked over at the large lions, lazily moving about. “They don’t seem all that ferocious.” His father had owned a lion, a gift from a king in the north, and it had been rather active. These ones were just being lazy.

“Well, it’s a hot day and they’re basking.” Jounouchi shrugged. “Oh hey, look, there’s one under us!”

Atemu looked down into the pit below them. The railing was on a large wall and the pit was a good ten feet down, for safety reasons. Under them was a lioness who was looking up at them. Atemu grinned, leaning over the railing a little to look at her, only to fumble and gasp, trying to grab at his glasses as they slipped off his face.

Jounouchi moved quick and grabbed them, just barely, by the tip of an arm, pinched between his fingers. The two of them were frozen for a moment, before Atemu started to nervously laugh and jounouchi joined in, much to the amusement of the big cat below them.

“Ya might want to keep from doin’ that over the pits, ‘Temu.” Jounouchi smiled, putting the glasses back on his boyfriend’s face. “I don’t think Grandpa wants to pay for another pair, didn’t you already lose your first at Kaiba Land?”

“I will neither confirm nor deny that. Let’s go look at the tigers now.”

The blond snickered, following after the flustered boy as they went to see the tigers. Again, there was a pit, but Jounouchi kept a hand on Atemu’s shirt to keep him from falling or something. After spending a few minutes looking at the tigers, that were a bit more active than the lions, they moved onto the elephants exhibit.

“Did you ever ride one when you were pharaoh?” Jounouchi asked as they looked at the large elephants that stood about in a big, open area of the zoo. Their area was also populated by a few giraffes, but they were busy eating from trees to pay any attention to the people watching them.

Atemu shook his head. “No, but Yugi told me that Grandpa had once when he and Professor Hawkins took a trip to Indian in their younger years. I bet it would be cool to ride one. But also scary, they’re huge! They could crush me!”

“They could crush anyone, but try not to think of that.” Jounouchi chuckled. “Oh look at that one! It’s spitting water on itself!” He grinned, watching one bathe itself in a pond. Atemu grinned, taking a picture of it with his phone, only to gasp when his view was obscured by a big, brown nose.

“Holy shit, it’s a giraffe!” Jounouchi exclaimed, he hadn’t even seen it approach them!

Atemu was still as he looked at the large creature, that was currently sniffing at his phone. Carefully, he reached out and put his hand on the giraffe’s snout, petting it like he would a horse. “It feels so weird... but so cool. Touch it, Katsuya!”

Jounouchi reached over and put his hand on the snout, only to shout when a long, wet tongue wrapped around his wrist. “GAH! Gross!” He quickly stepped back, looking at his wet skin. “Ew!”

The smaller boy laughed hard at this, so glad he got a picture of that. “I think it likes you!”

“I think I need some hand sanitizer! Gross!”

Laughing still, Atemu pulled his grossed out boyfriend with him to look for a bathroom so they could wash their hands. After that was dealt with, they made their way to the arctic area, finding polar bears on display behind high glass walls. Atemu happily looked at the large bear that swam past him, he had never seen a bear before, this was amazing!

“Hey, ‘Temu! Look!” Jounouchi called from another area of the exhibit, catching the former king’s attention. Standing about ten feet away was Jounouchi with a penguin by his feet. “I think the lil’ guy got out!” He chuckled.

Atemu grinned and went over, getting down to look at the penguin. “He’s so cute! Do we need to tell a staff member that he’s out?”

“I think someone will get him. Heh, he just waddled right up to me! Ain’t he just the cutest thing? Oh! Give me your phone, let’s take a picture of you two!” After giving him the phone, Atemu posed with the penguin, getting a few pictures with him before attempting a selfie when he got the phone back, laughing at the penguin nipped at his bangs.

A staff member approached and took the penguin away, saying he always finds some way to escape. Jounouchi snickered and quietly made a joke about a certain penguin-obsessed accountant being unable to do the same. Atemu couldn’t hide his laughs at that and the two carried on.

They got lunch after the arctic area, and sat down to watch the dolphin show that took place. When that finished, Atemu dragged him into the reptile and amphibian house, where Atemu was super excited to see snakes he knew, and even a crocodile! Jounouchi... was less than thrilled, but he let his boyfriend have his fun.

The petting zoo was next on their list, and Atemu really liked this part, since he could interact with a lot of the farm animals they had, and even a camel! Jounouchi liked it too, until a goat bit him on the leg for not paying attention to him.

When they finished their, they checked out the monkey and apes, where Jounouchi made a bunch of cracks at Honda, getting more laughs out of Atemu. (Somewhere else in Domino, Honda suddenly got the feeling he needed to kick Jounouchi in the butt for some reason) Their last stop was to see the manatee, something Atemu had never even heard of before. He didn’t know what to expect when they went into the large room where it was kept, the tank it was inside of didn’t show anything, as the kelp was blocking much of the view. “So... where is it?” Atemu asked, frowning, looking at the glass.

“It’s in there, I’m sure, you can’t miss it.” Jounouchi grinned, watching at the smaller boy pressed closer to the glass, gasping when a large, gray blob pressed back.

“K-Katsuya!” Atemu stuttered, eyes wide as he looked at the creature, who seemed to be looking right back at him. “It’s... it’s so... it’s so cute! Is this a manatee? It looks like a Marshmallon!”

“Heh, yep, that’s it!”

Atemu grinned watching it swim about in the kelp before rising up, looking at him from over the edge of the glass of the tank, making a happy sound. He reached up, touching its nose. “It’s wet and slimy, hahaha. That’s amazing, I’ve never seen a creature like this before.”

Jounouchi approached, still grinning. “Yeah, they’re pretty cool. Sailors use to mistake them for mermaids.”

“Really?”

“Yep!”

“Well, I think its cute in a dorky way, so I can see why it was mistaken for one.”

Jounouchi snorted and laughed, damnit, this kid was too good for this world sometimes. All brave and cool when dueling, but a total nerd at everything else. How lucky was Jounouchi to have this guy dating him? Watching Atemu try to take a selfie with his new, aquatic friend said that, yeah, he was pretty lucky.

I wanted to end this one on a sweet note, and the whole idea of Atemu liking manatees makes me happy for some reason, so that last scene was a must.
