still my favorite thing about all this is that joey batey really woke up one day, said 'hell yeah queer jaskier' and made thousands of people SO mad

Something very specific about how Jaskier's bi/pan sexuality was portrayed really resonated with me.

The scene with Vespula when they talk about him having a crush on Radovid...

I am a bisexual femme, married to a woman. I have only had serious, meaningful relationships with women. I have only casually dated, slept with, had crushes on men. My feelings for/attraction to anyone at any given time has never negated my feelings for/attraction to anyone else. For the most part, my partners have understood that. Sometimes, talking about my crush or experiences with one person has even been a kind of foreplay with another person. I don't think I've ever seen that specific thing portrayed before.

Vespula is telling Jaskier all about himself, talking about this crush he has on this other man, whilst crawling into the bed to sleep with him again. She not only accepts his crush on someone else, she playfully teases him about that crush and uses it to flirt with him; all while acknowledging that Jaskier having that crush does not take away from how excited he is to be in bed with her in this moment.

I felt so seen.

I'm not saying this is everyone's bi/pan experience. I'm just saying this is something that was extremely familiar to my own life and I was blown away seeing it depicted.

And i wonder how much of that was Joey Batey's input. The way he talked about avoiding stereotypes and how he had to personally rip the first drafts apart and explain how to handle this story properly, I can imagine how that relationship was originally handled. I can imagine a draft of the script where Vespula addresses this crush and accuses him of not being genuinely into women at all or some other bi/pan erasure bullshit that is all too common with bi/pan characters. It was refreshing to see this portrayal play out. And more than refreshing, it felt like my actual life.

ok but Jaskier rolling up with some new boy toy of the week whenever Geralt and him stop in a town. Just a legion of soft spoken twinks hanging off of him and crooning at every thing that comes out of his mouth, and Geralt just absolutely fucking seething with jealousy. Can Jaskier tell Geralt is jealous? is he doing it on purpose? whos to tell!!

y'know what? yeah. netflix witcher SHOULD just end after season 3. not bc of henry leaving but because nothing they adapt next will ever top the way they fucking laced s2 with the most profound fucking yennskier interactions out of fucking nowhere

Bless Joey for referring to Jaskier as pan, bi, and queer. I absolutely headcanon Jask as a give me more labels gay who'd be insulted if you tried to make him choose one, but also just Joey getting the widest rep he can into one character 🥹
