Playing the witcher 3 and just... there are multiple queer coded characters and listen, lambert is one of them. Similar to my argument for jaskier being "you dont ask your "just friend" to runaway with you to the coast to escape his destiny involving a beautiful sorceress because youre straight, well, you dont ask your brother to help you tract down and kill your "just a friend"'s murderer. Bro, you dont. If someone killed one of my friends, would I be mad enough to track them down and kill them? Likely. Would I be as murderous as lambert is at the moment? Unless I was in love with them, no, no not really. I'm not speaking from experience, but I have thought a lot about this. I have exactly 1 person I trust as much as lambert geralt and eskel all trust each other, and i stil probably wouldn't ask them to sail halfway around the world to help me track down the killer of someone who's just a friend. But to track down someone who killed a person i was in love with? Yeah, yeah I might ask them then.
#he was the best man i ever knew. Dont get me wrong geralt#the witcher#the witcher 3#the witcher games#witcher lambert#lambert#lambert is queer coded#its just... his dialogue. The way he says it. that wet-anger-voice-cracking-cant-keep-it-together-and-snapping-at-his-brother kinda emotion.#hes not just angry hes fucking furious#you know who gets that angry? family and lovers.#and witchers? they dont travel together. they just don't. so lambert and aiden traveling together? taking contracts together?#the implication is not only there- but it seems like geralt is not at all shocked by this.#like he's always kinda known that if lambert were traveling with someone; or returning to someone for part of the year...#...that said person might be a man. lambert even says i like you but he..." and he trails off#and geralt just nods.. like he knows already. that? that's two siblings who know each other. been through hell and back and know each other.#of this was abt aiden being a witcher. and witchers defending their own.. i feel like they wouldve said something by now (im halfway through#but... lambert alwaus brings it back to aiden as a person. this isnt about witchers being brothers in arms.#this isnt about avenging a fallen brother. this is revenge. this is making the men who hurt aiden; who hurt lambert; pay.#and through it all... geralt understands. he helps him. yes its your choice as the player; but the choice to help lambert is there#if you so choose; geralt will listen to what lambert has to say; and help him without question.#meanwhile... isnt geralt doing the same thjng right now for ciri? trying to find her and threatening/killing anyone who tried to hurt her?#and didnt he already do the same thing for yen? tracking down the wild hunt all to get her back#sacrificing himself to keep her safe when he couldnt fight his way out of the situation.#lamberts quest here is essentially the short version of everything geralt has done and is continuing to do for his family#so is kt really that much of a stretch to say that lambert is doing the same for a man who was his family?#then tberes zolton who im 90% sure is bi but thats a whole 'nother rant on its own about using booze as metophors for attraction#but yeah lambert is queer coded. fight me#(hes also the baby of the family and geralt will help him with just about anything to keep him safe and yes i will doe on this hill)#also i feel like i should clarify im very much aware the wolf witchers are not actually related but seriously for all intents and purposes#they ARE brothers guys
