i see people talking about the poor artistic choices on the netflix witcher show, mainly with questionable costume design and casting choices, but i don’t see anyone talking about how much of a “fuck you” to the whole cosplay community it is.

like, you would think that people who do costume design and creation for a job, with an actual budget, would be better at it than cosplayers armed only with hot glue guns, eva foam and hope.

so i can’t help but take it very personally when i pour my heart and soul into screen accurate cosplays or making a rennaissance inspired doublet for my yen just to see netflix throw some h&m cardigans onto the actors and call it a day.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

I am playing Iorveth's path in TW2 for the first time, and talking to Cynthia about the Wild Hunt is... truly something. "Oh, you have amnesia because the wraiths emit a magnetic field" bestie what

Whatever TWN did with that Cahir/Emhyr set of interactions, but make that Auberon/Eredin. Yes, thank you.

Incorrect Witcher Quotes

Avallac'h: Eredin, if you know what you're doing is bad, why are you still doing it anyways?

Eredin: It fits my aesthetic.

making awesome new queer characters that feel like they have always existed in the witcher universe 👍😎💯‼️

making the established villian of the entire series gay for some random merchant for one scene just to humanize him a little bit🤨👎🤡

jamie campbell bower would be my perfect casting choice for caranthir. i have had that idea for quite some time now, but now that i am rewatching stranger things i literally can’t think of anyone more perfect. there are even some parallels between compass boy and 001 if you think about it really damn hard

this might be a bit controversial but the Good Guys wouldn’t stand a chance against the Wild Hunt under 100% fair circumstances - as in not taking out Imlerith while he was under the influence and not battle-ready, teaming up on Caranthir or forming an alliance with Eredin’s literal viceroy. also here is a little parallel that summs up both side’s attitude pretty well imo

(dont get me wrong i am not trying to shit on the Good Guys for literally fighting for their lives, i just think that the way the Red Riders never fight dirty goes underappreciated)

since cdpr is working on a mod editor for the witcher 3 i want a mod where everything is the same but eredin’s theme is replaced by a random lady gaga song

[averagedettlaffenjoyer]

there’s an absolute shit ton of canonically non straight characters in the books, there are poc, there are disabled characters… yeah netflix thinks they are doing something by changing a lot of the stuff, but they are not making the witcher more woke than it was before

More thoughts on The Witcher

Ever since the Netflix TV series of The Witcher decided to reveal that Jaskier (Yas-key-er) the sidekick bard character, is bisexual, I've seen more complaints about Netflix making The Witcher Woke. Netflix... Making... The Witcher... Woke... Were you not paying attention? The Witcher was ALWAYS woke! First we have the elves, second class citizens who were previously wiped out during a totally-not-a-holocaust allegory. They very obviously serve as a metaphor for Jewish and Roma people. With some indigenous people forced from their own land by colonialism BLATANT symbolism. Having Yennefer (A sorceress who is part elf) played by a woman who is of mixed Indian racial background helps drive this intended allegory home. Ciri (Geralt's adopted daughter) is canonically not straight and becomes the first woman Witcher. But somehow there are "fans" who are pissed off at Jaskier being revealed as bisexual. By the way, to think Jaskier of The Witcher Netflix series is straight is to have no gaydar (I am using the term Gaydar to mean all potential flavors of Queerness). He had a break up song about Geralt in season 2! A full season before the show finally showed him writing a song for man he had a crush on and kissing the man. The character is pretty much The Witcher version of Freddie Mercury (right down to the vocal range).

the first thing i will do as soon as i get my hands on bg3 will be abusing the absolute fuck out of the character creation to get me some aen elle

oops i thought about it too much and accidentally started to ship her with eredin

if lara was anything like her descendants i feel like she would sneak out to hang out with the red riders since she liked to travel and get into trouble and avallach would complain to auberon about eredin being a bad influence when actually she was the bad influence and eredin could complain about her ruining the morale among his men but he didnt because he was trying to smash
