Watching The Witcher: Blood Origins and it's very very clear that the star of the franchise was not Henry Cavill's Geralt but Joey Batey's Jaskier

#the witcher: blood origins #the witcher #joey batey #jaskier #listen you can have the witcher universe without geralt but can you have it without jaskier? no you cant

From "respect doesn't make history" to "forget what they've told you for history's fine glow is tarnished by those who don't want you to know"

So like is no one going to talk about the fact that the ending of blood origins heavily implies that Jaskier is the last descendent of the Lark and therefore a descendent of the first Witcher and also part elf??? No??? Just me??? Ok then

not seen anyone talk about it so I have to say that I loved the little nod to blood origins in episode 1 of the witcher season 3. The bit where radovid is all like ‘holy shit that’s Jaskier!! I love ‘song of the seven’!! It’s my favouite!!’ And jaskiers just like ‘…hah bit ironic but a win is a win’

i know we're all busy going insane over jaskier crumbs but can we talk about Michelle fucking Yeoh for a second???? She's beautiful, she's powerful, she's a fucking badass. and she's 60. I'm so excited to watch her <3

#i love michelle yeoh so much #and it's so so wonderful to see an older asian lady being given such roles #michelle yeoh in everything everywhere all at once broke me and put me back together again and i will love her forever #the witcher: blood origins #michelle yeoh

NETFLIX : alright guys we know when the news of Henry’s exit from the show is announced people may not want to give blood origins a shot how do we lure them in?

(Momentary pause for ideas)

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.

Let me be explicit: the issue with the limited series is that it is limited. They should have spent more time world building and character building. We should have seen the travels and the relationships. The diversity is not a weakness, but a strength. Those who think differently are extremely suspect.

No, but like, imagine you're jaskier. A bard painfully in love with your weirdly mutated wolf witcher. A magical thing tells you the story of the first ever dog Witcher, and you're like "ok, cool" and then she tells you how this fucking dog is in love with a BARD who gets called basically the same things you get called.

And they are in mutual love and it's like the best most romantic love to be ever existed.

And you're there. Ok, cool, fuck you too.
