Okay so since I last shared memes, I watched the entirety of season 2 in 24 hours and I'm a fourth of the way through season 3- I'm more educated now :3
Expect so much from me when I finish season 3 I will be unhinged <3

jaskier grabs his lute when he goes outside to see what made the noise because it’s the closest thing to a weapon he has near him in the moment. so when he hands the lute to radovid, he’s giving up his only means of defense—literally, but also figuratively, as his songs and performative nature represent the mask that he also hides behind

I would kill for an RPG that takes place in the witcher universe... and by RPG I mean full on RPG experience where you can create your own character (not just male option) and customise their appearance and buy your own horse and name your horse and screw the local pretty elven prostitutes etc.

The Witcher Netflix - 3x08 Episode Reaction In season 3 of The Witcher Netflix we got our first look inside the Nilfgaardian Empire. I was taken by surprise because sometimes I think the show isn't subtle with certain things. Sometimes showing without telling. Or telling without showing in a way doesn't offer viewers enough information to understand the impact of a creative choice. The glimpses we got of Nilfgaard are, in my opinion, a subtle bit of worldbuilding that doesn't lose its impact without showing too much or telling too little. In the books Nilfgaard's culture and history, its military strategy--it's all pastiche from different historical empires. That is a hallmark of Sapko's style. I'm sure other people have spoken more definitively about that on tumblr and elsewhere. CDPR absorbed a lot of Roman Empire influences from the books for its own take for Nilfgaard. And now we can see TWN's production is also picking up on that as well and going with Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine) flavor. So let me share a few screenshots from episode 3x08 that caught my eye. This is a mini-commentary with some thoughts, not a deep analysis. We had this establishing shot of a Nilfgaardian city (which I'm presuming to be the capital). This looks like Constantinople to me.
Tumblr media
A modern day photo of Constantinople ruins for comparison:

Next we have Emhyr with several men dressed in what comes off as very Eastern Orthodox-inspired vestments, right down to the monastic headwear (mitre, I think?). I'll leave more the in depth TWN and costume critical takedown to perseruna. But those hats definitely kept screaming Eastern Orthodoxy at me and making me circle back to Eastern Roman Empire.
Tumblr media
And finally we have this scene of Francesca and Fringilla in the church. In all of my groupchats everyone was losing their mind about their conversation and heartbreak. But I was losing my mind over the fact that they were a) in a Nilfgaardian church or temple and b) this shot was framed in such a way to show us the statue of an ambiguous church figure in the background. Standing in between Fringilla and Francesca, no less.
I can't help but think this might be a statue of the Nilfgaardian Emperor who, in the books, is implied to be a prophet or important figure in the religious sphere.
Tumblr media
"...Recently the main topic of preaching has been of a Saviour who will come from the south. From the south! From beyond the Yaruga!” “The White Flame,” muttered Demavend. “White Chill will come to be, and after it the White Light. And then the world will be reborn through the White Flame and the White Queen… I’ve heard it, too. It’s a travesty of the prophecy of Ithlinne aep Aevenien, the elven seeress. I gave orders to catch one cleric who was going on about it in the Vengerberg market place and the torturer asked him politely and at length how much gold the prophet had received from Emhyr for doing it… But the preacher only prattled on about the White Flame and the White Queen… the same thing, to the very end.” -Blood of Elves
(thank you to @akilah12902 for sourcing this quote for me when I was looking for help!) This just reaffirms my thoughts that Fringilla and Francesca are arguing before a statue of Emhyr. A surprising amount of symbolism for this scene and show. Anyway. This was my main takeaway from 3x08. It was nice to be pleasantly surprised by this.

The Witcher S3 Ep 1: Shaerrawedd AKA Oh we're coming straight for MY EMOTIONS?! Rude.
If the rest of this season carries along the same kind of route as this episode, I'm very concerned for my emotional state. This was a beautiful rollercoaster.
Who the fuck in the unnecessarily long words are these bitches?
Oh, never mind they don't matter, cool.
Ooh, I like this narration/the "Dear friend" letters. But I think there are less aggressive ways to "send" them...
Is Geralt just using Continent AirBnB? Where does he keep finding full ass houses with conveniently 2 separate living areas?
Yarpen's got a point, disguises are great for hiding
The pining, the bonding. I love this tiny disaster family
Also this loose fluffy hair and casual look for Yennefer is 👀 10/10 (as always, but perhaps especially?)
Subtle Yennefer, real subtle
Okaaay Dara. Growing up and glowing up
Is that Stephen Robbie Amell?
So they're actually called The Squirels, it's not some slang/insult?
Oh no. He's a Redanian prince-spy...my baby's gonna get his heart broken
😂 rock-paper-scissors over who gets the shitty job. I love it
Ooh, Philippa, what are you up to? Because that was both sexy and incredibly sinister
Don't worry Ciri, Geralt has a chronic case of foot-in-mouth, just ignore him. You look fantastic
Ohhhh, that's why she was dressed like that again. It's a new party and a reminder for Geralt 👀👀
Ciri, timing *sigh* Also, I've got a bad feeling about this...
Well you're an ugly roly-poly...I'll take 6
I like the false-start music to match the false-start fight.
"Seemingly" innocuous. I like that
Also, this is a good look Jaskier 👀
Nice catch princeling
He did not know. But I love their friendship. Is it friendship? I think it is
Ooh good, we kept the coat. I love that coat
Also this stitched jerkin-style leather armor is 100x better than the moulded shit Geralt's been wearing the last two seasons
Aww, Mom and Dad storytime. But damn Geralt, way to bring down the mood
Oh Honey. That's a good dream. But a lot to take on alone. I believe in you though. And want to give you a great big hug.
Ah yes, follow the mage alone to who knows where, where he has has the upper hand. Genius idea.
Oh shit. Not the confrontation I was expecting
The scream I just screampt. I swear to god, I cannot take Jaskier in danger
Aww, look they do love him 🥺
Ok but ma'am this is kinda your fault? You could have prepared better, or told your people the truth, or picked anywhere else for your ambush
Ominous. Who's even left to get dragged into this shitshow?
Aww, she's worried about her dad.
I'm excited for the return of "Geralt and Jaskier adventures"
🥺🥺
Jaskier...honey no...baby...I just...my heart...
Why does Aratuza seem Extra Creepy?
Aww, Geralt. That was actually really sweet
Ah right, Emperor Creepy Dad...I was hoping I could pretend to forget about you.

help i’m just now realizing that radovid told jaskier to play a song “about [his] white haired witcher” and then jaskier goes on to play extraordinary things… no wonder he asks if the witcher knows how lucky he is to have him bskdndkd

i think the witcher makes me feel a profound sadness every night because it’s about all the things we love so much, or that we wish we had, but can never get back. the tragedy of the uncontrollable. the pain of loss.
ciri, despite her youth and innocence, loses her home and family and then she even her adoptive parents, and then she even loses her youth and her innocence, and is left with nothing but a grotesque scar symbolizing her trauma that doesn’t fit her childlike face and a hardened, green glare. and a sword, which is only a burden.
her parents, despite their incredible love for her, despite all of their agony and sacrifice to get her back, despite their own loss of their honor, their pride, their blood — they lose her too. they lose a child, the most tragic loss of all.
dandelion loses his best friend, clutching at his memories like the weeds growing by loch eskalott, trying to grasp the last twenty years to write his memoires.
milva hears her father’s words when she shoots, and his wheezing echoes in her mind.
regis lost himself, his entire life, all the people he ever loved and chased away.
cahir, despite his large family that loves him more than imperial orders, can never return to darn dyffrya, feel the sun on his face in vicovaro ever again.
angoulême wonders if her mother would have loved her had she not abandoned her, imagines what her hand patting her head in praise could have felt like.
and then geralt loses them. all of them, one by one.
and nimue, reading about it all, can never meet the figures of the legend she has obsessed over for years and years… she has her part to play in it, she can know their voices from dialogues and know their faces from etchings, but will never be able to tell them she loves them, tell them how much they mean to her.
even when they find what they’re searching for, even when they find what they’ve desired so — it’s only for a bittersweet moment. they shortly lose it again. everyone in this series is so intertwined together and caught in the same snare of destiny, and at the very same time so very alone and abandoned
#additional edit: this textpost brought to you by carolina in my mind#edit: and no one’s loss is the exact same! even though there are parallels — everyone suffers differently.#i used to feel guilty describing my experience as ‘loss’ because it wasn’t pertaining to death and that’s typically what loss insinuates#but you can lose so many things outside of death. and inside of death i don’t rule that out — but for me at least#the witcher books made me realize there are soooo sooo many ways to suffer and girl i’m not special lol#like all the protagonists experience this horrid sadness and tragedy and they KEEP LIVING and then they SUFFER EVEN MORE and then they DIE#and its like omg thats horrifying but like that didnt make the read any less enjoyable. in fact it made it more so#if they just were happy all the time there would be no story#so it made me realize that even if you are suffering or even if you have lost. life is still worth living#and also that rage and ‘bad’ emotions and selfishness and all these evil things that rise up from within a person are in fact natural#the creation of children of contempt seems almost unavoidable in the world we live in#but the point is that you cant stay a child of contempt. you have to humble yourself or someone else (BONHART) will humble you#dont hurt others or leo bonhart will snatch that beret with the rooster feather right off your ashen-blonde head#the witcher books#txt#analysis#kind of? analysis: a big theme in this is loss. lol kind of obvious not really groundbreaking you’ll have to forgive me#f: a hansa's a hansa#f: i want to see the sky#damn who would think a war saga would be a tragedy smh#obv /s#personal

can i have a gold star for wrangling my creative brainweasles?? I didn't go back and restlessly edit my posted ficlet (reveals soon!) even though I wanted to but knew it would just lead to further narrative spiraling that I don't need right now. NOR did i start any new projects this weekend. i sat down and pecked away with some edits for my geraskefer WIP. it has been grueling because I think my brain is still a little broken and I'm having because of capitalism and plague anxieties. but my god i can almost see the finish line. the ending. i yearn to finish. to post. to fly high on Finishing a Thing and take my momentum to the next project. in any case my to-do list for today is so long but maybe I can manage some more work on this wip tonight. Or maybe I will fire up my audiobook for baptism of fire and throw some paint on a canvas.
