Maybe you'd have better luck if you didn't want it so bad.

[stromuprisahat]

This is how you ruin another character upon their introduction.

‘Why aren’t you in school, student?’ she asked coldly, glaring at Ciri.

‘Wait, Tissaia,’ said the other woman, younger, tall and blond, in a green dress with a considerable neckline. ‘I don’t recognize her. I don’t think she’s…’

‘She is.’ Cut the dark-haired one. ‘I’m certain that she’s one of your girls, Rita. You can’t possibly know them all. She must be one of those who sneaked out through Loxia during the chaos when the students changed quarters. And now we shall wait for her explanation. Well, student?’

...

The woman raised her hand and Ciri immediately understood the seriousness of her mistake. Yennefer had demonstrated to her paralysing spells only once, tired with her long whining. The feeling had been considerably unpleasant. It was the same now.

Fabio cried terrified and leaped towards her but the other woman, the blond one, caught him by the collar and forced him to stay in place. The boy jerked his arm but the woman had an iron grip. Ciri couldn’t move. The dark-haired one bent down and glared at her.

‘I am not in favour of corporal punishment,’ she drawled her words coldly, evening her cuffs yet again, ‘But I will ensure that you’re whipped, student. Not for misbehaviour, not for the theft or elopement. Not even for wearing illicit clothes, walking out with a boy and telling him about things you were forbidden from discussing. No, you will be whipped for being unable to recognize an Archmistress.’

Rita starts with stating she doesn’t recognize Ciri, meaning she's probably familiar enough with her students to be able to. It’s Tissaia, who grabs the girl, and Tissaia, who threatens her. She also paralyzes Ciri, when she believes her to be insolent. Rita catches Fabio- still with Ciri- and lets him speak once he starts to explain.

Compare to:

“Mistress Laux-Antille”: *catches running Ciri* “Another runaway. You've had your fun, novice. Back to the dorms.”

Ciri: “Get your hands off me!”

“Mistress Laux-Antille”:  *hard slap* “You will address me as Mistress Laux-Antille. And you'll clean the toilets for your impertinence.”

...

“Mistress Laux-Antille”, between drunken laughter: “Here, girl! Novices these days are useless. Not like when we were girls. I told you to bring the wine. ... I wanted red! ... Damned Cintran princess. What's so special about her, anyway? ... Girl, the wine! Now.”

In books, it’s Ciri’s pride injured. Her main issue’s the sorceresses dealt with Yennefer- as her guardian- instead of treating her like an independent person. She wasn’t abused by some cruel, sadistic bitch only because she’s younger and “only a student”. Rita’s even kind to her!

‘Hey, girl,’ she nodded at Ciri, ‘be so good and pass me a towel. Come on, stop pouting.’

Ciri hissed quietly, still offended. When Fabio let out who Ciri was, the sorceresses dragged her through half of the city, exposing her to public mockery. In Giancardi's bank the whole incident was immediately explained. The Sorceresses apologized to Yennefer, explaining their behaviour. ... Alarmed by the activation of Ciri’s amulet, Margarita Laux-Antille and Tissaia de Vries mistook her for one [of the sudents].

The sorcerers’ apologized to Yennefer, but none of them thought of apologizing to Ciri. ...

Ciri gave the towel to the Sorceress. Margarita patted her gently on the cheek. Ciri snorted and jumped and splashed into the pool of scented rosemary water.

‘Floats like a little leaf’, smiled Margarita as she lay down next to Yennefer on a wooden couch. ‘And she is as well formed as a nymph. You’re giving her to me, Yenna?’

Margarita Laux-Antille is one of those teachers, whose job is truly their life’s mission. She knows her students, she cares about them, she risks her life for them. Even as a member of the Lodge, her focus is education, not power. She doesn’t beat random girls on the street, because they possess magical amulet.

Fuck you Netflix, for ruining another one of my favourite minor characters! On such a deep, fundamental. level!

‘Ciri, serve us. Damn this carafe is almost empty. Come on, be good and bring us another.’

‘Bring two,’ smiled Margarita ‘As a reward you will get a sip and sit down with us, you will no longer have to strain your ears from a distance. Your education starts here, now, from me before you reach Arethusa.’

People love, love to bring up one-off moments of Yennefer at her worst. Yennefer who is mean, cold, haughty, angry, hurt, jealous, stand-offish.

It’s both funny and sad to me that people forget the rest. Yennefer, who ruins her expensive camlet dress without even realising it to save a woman having a miscarriage on the steps of Kaer Trolde. Yennefer, who gives the nervous young clerk Fabio Sachs the Younger such unexpected high praise that he blushes to the roots of his chestnut hair. Yennefer, who saves Giancardi’s family. Yennefer, who buys back Geralts swords without his knowledge - who has her own banker keep track of where he is looking for work, to make sure the region has a decent “Witcher fund”, even when they’re not together.

Yennefer, who on Skellige, earns the favour of Freyja, the patron goddess of motherhood; receives her grace, her diamond, her Brisingamen, because she is willing to endure more than the limits of human suffering for Ciri.

Yennefer has so many flaws: she’s a deeply broken, traumatised woman who’s prideful and knows how to play the ice queen. But if you don’t realise that Yennefer is also full of love for people around her, hidden kindness and compassion…you might want to read those stories again.

[hanzajesthanza]

it really does matter so much that fringilla vigo is nilfgaardian, beauclairoise, for many reasons, but let's start here:

her entire role is that of an illusionist; one which she would not be were it not for her family lineage, rooted in beauclair:

There was a corridor in Beauclair Palace, and at the end a chamber, the existence of which no one knew about. (...) The corridor and the chamber, disguised by a powerful illusion, were known only to the palace’s original elven builders. And later–when the elves had gone, and Toussaint became a duchy–to the small number of sorcerers linked to the ducal house. Including Artorius Vigo, a master of magical arcana and great specialist in illusions. And his young niece, Fringilla, who had a special talent for illusions.

and since her talent in illusions is well-defined in the series, as it is her who grants geralt the very silver-mounted chrysoprase amulet which saves his life in the final fight against vilgefortz:

Geralt clenched Fringilla’s medallion in his fist. The bar fell with a clang, striking the floor a foot from the Witcher’s head. Geralt rolled away and quickly got up on one knee. Vilgefortz leaped forward and struck. The bar missed the target again by a few inches. The sorcerer shook his head in disbelief and hesitated for a second. (...) ‘I didn’t know …’ Yennefer said at last, scrambling out of a pile of rubble. She looked terrible. The blood trickling from her nose had poured all over her chin and cleavage. ‘I didn’t know you could cast illusory spells,’ she repeated, seeing Geralt’s uncomprehending gaze, ‘capable even of deceiving Vilgefortz.’ ‘It’s my medallion.’ ‘Aha.’ She looked suspicious. ‘A curious thing...’

that talent is something which cannot, by far, be separated from her character. and returning back to her lineage, it is again her familial relations which place her in beauclair.

she was positioned there, ready to intercept geralt, as early as the autumnal equinox in september, by which time geralt had barely just left the town of riedbrune:

The world over, the autumn Equinox was a night of spectres, nightmares and apparitions, a night of sudden, suffocating awakenings, fraught with menace, among sweat-soaked and rumpled sheets. Neither did the most illustrious escape the apparitions and awakenings; (...) In the huge castle of Montecalvo the sorceress Philippa Eilhart leaped from damask sheets, without waking the Comte de Noailles’ wife. The dwarf Yarpen Zigrin in Mahakam, the old witcher Vesemir in the mountain stronghold of Kaer Morhen, the bank clerk Fabio Sachs in the city of Gors Velen and Yarl Crach an Craite on board the longboat Ringhorn all awoke more or less abruptly. The sorceress Fringilla Vigo came awake in Beauclair Castle*, as did the priestess Sigrdrifa of the temple of the goddess Freyja on the island of Hindarsfjall.

* Slight correction - As explained in Chapter 3 of Lady of the Lake, Beauclair is not a castle, but a palace.

and she's only invited to beauclair in such a capacity because she is a relative of the duchess:

‘I’m in Beauclair because the largest, best-stocked library in the known world is here. Apart from university libraries, naturally. But universities are jealous of giving access to their shelves, and here I’m a relation and good friend of Anarietta and can do as I wish.’

(whom, you may note, she stands by and jointly receives geralt with at their first meeting, and participates in the festival of the vat with)

and therefore, she was in a perfectly strategic position to delay geralt, keep him captive:

‘(...) Please at least tell us … has the Witcher calmed down now? Are you capable of keeping him in Toussaint at least until May?’ (…) ‘No,’ she answered at last. ‘Probably not until May. But I’ll do everything in my power to keep him here as long as possible.’

because fringilla is not just an illusionist literally, as in the magic she is naturally gifted at, but 'illusionist' is her entire identity as a character.

and as her family hails from beauclair, this specific identity is compounded with the fact that beauclair itself is the center of illusions, a dreamland, a fairytale:

‘There’s something bewitched about this place, this fucking Toussaint. Some kind of charm hangs over the whole valley. Especially over the palace (...) no two ways about it, there’s something bewitched about this bloody Toussaint.’

fringilla is an illusionist because she is beauclairoise. she not only hails from a long line of illusionists, but hails from, is related to the ruler of, the very city of illusions and dreams.

she is the illusionist not just in a literal sense, but in the entire narrative role of casting an illusion over our hero, because it is the illusion of love which keeps her and geralt in beauclair. (the tricky trick is that geralt, taking a page out of yennefer's playbook of seduction, cleverness, patience, was able to cast an illusion upon the mistress of illusions herself, free himself from the witch's spell, awake from a pleasant dream to face the harsh reality).

(sighs) and even if you want to forget fringilla's beauclairoise identity and erase her entire positioning as the illusionist which poses a threat to our heroes, entices them to complacency, her role as nilfgaardian in the sense of her academic identity and imperial service also defines her.

because it is also fringilla, the illusionist who casts the wool over people's eyes... who blinded yennefer at sodden hill.

‘We’ve already met,’ Yennefer spoke again. ‘I don’t recall,’ Fringilla said without looking away. ‘I’m not surprised. But I have a good memory for faces and figures. I saw you from Sodden Hill.’ ‘In which case there can be no mistake,’ Fringilla Vigo said and raised her head proudly, sweeping her eyes over all those present. ‘I was at the Battle of Sodden.’ (...) ‘Occasionally one happens to see another person for only a split second, right before going blind, and one takes a dislike to them instantly.’ ‘Oh, enmity is considerably more complicated,’ Fringilla said, squinting. ‘Imagine someone you don’t know at all standing at the top of a hill, and ripping a friend of yours to shreds in front of your eyes. You neither saw them nor know them at all, but you still don’t like them.’ ‘So it goes,’ Yennefer said, shrugging. (...)

fringilla's (proud!) participation at the battle of sodden is a crux of the lodge, because she alongside her good friend, the scholarly assire, they are nilfgaardians who, owing to their nationality, find challenges meshing with the northern sorcereresses. the lodge brought together representatives of magic across nationalities in the midst of a raging, bloody war between them all.

and it's so integral to fringilla's character that she has imperial biases, that she approaches even the international lodge with an imperialist view.

with no factual basis, she initially exotifies and sexualizes the northern sorceresses, despite her own prior denial of these base stereotypes:

Fringilla Vigo was putting on a brave face, but she was anxious and stressed. She herself had often reprimanded young Nilfgaardian mages for uncritically yielding to stereotypical opinions and notions. She herself had regularly ridiculed the crude image painted by gossip and propaganda of the typical sorceress from the North: artificially beautiful, arrogant, vain and spoiled to the limits of perversion, and often beyond them. (...) Her untrammelled imagination offered up images of impossibly gorgeous women with diamond necklaces resting on naked breasts with rouged nipples, women with moist lips and eyes glistening from the effects of alcohol and narcotics. In her mind’s eye Fringilla could already see the gathering becoming a wild and depraved orgy accompanied by frenzied music, aphrodisiacs, and slaves of both sexes using exotic accessories.

she even has a difficult time understanding why the northern sorceresses are upset about the nilfgaardian invasion, believing it to be a boon to their society. only through their discussion does she just barely begin to grasp the meaning of "invasion" and why she wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it:

Some were clearly anxious about the close proximity of Nilfgaard. Fringilla had mixed feelings. She had assumed that such educated people would understand that the Empire was bringing culture, prosperity, order and political stability to the North. On the other hand, though, she didn’t know how she would have reacted herself, were foreign armies approaching her home.

all of this indoctrination into imperial beliefs, at the same time that she is an educated woman, and herself, as an imperial sorceress, known for being rebellious and an upstart within her own culture:

‘Stop staring,’ Assire said, touching her bouffant and glistening curls. ‘I decided to make a few changes. Why, I just took your lead.’ ‘I was always taken as an oddball and a rebel,’ Fringilla Vigo chuckled. ‘But when they see you in the academy or at court…’

this is such a chaotic rambling post, but all i want to say is that fringilla's character, like most of the minor characters in the witcher series, was not invented through random generation, a roll of the dice, a spin of the wheel. her specific traits - such as her nationality, lineage, talents - all relate back thematically. everything is relevant, specifically chosen to create a specific character.

if once changes her backstory (e.g., to place her at aretuza... though i don't know who would do such a thing for no reason) they would change her entire character, the series' commentary on imperialism, and because of her role she takes later on, even the entire ending of the story.

Why I'm excited and not worried about the Witcher season 3

season 3 will be awesome and much closer to the books than season 2, don't believe me? I have proof  

We are now about 3 weeks out from the season 3 premier, comparatively 3 weeks out from season 2 there where already reports about a lot of the stuff that  wasn't in the books.

 -Eskel`s death,

 -2 big fight scenes at  Kaer Morhen, 

 -Voleth Meir,an all powerful evil magical being that tricks those who want their deepest desires,

  -the scenes together with Yen and Fringilla 

  -and expanded roles for  Istredd and Fringilla( I actually liked these editions finding them much more interesting than in the books where they are just involved in love triangle stuff with Geralt and Yen)  

but we know that many beloved scenes from Time of Contempt are making it in as well as a few crucial skipped moments from blood of elves  

based on the trailer we are  getting alot more family bonding, fluff, laughter Yen teaching Ciri magic, Geralt and Yen rekindling there relationship ,  Geralt and Jaskier actually being friends now ( apparently the writers have learned that you can have slow moments of  characters just talking, laughing and getting along, they don't have to just bicker, fight monsters , and encounter evil all the time )     (( that's the last of the salt in this post I promise)) 

 first of all, Stephen Surjik director of the  A Grain of Truth episode is returning 

based on the trailer/stills, casting reports, as well as set scouting pictures from  Redanian Intelligence, we have these scenes confirmed : 

- Jaskier singing to the dryads in Brokilon

- the scenes in  Shaerrawedd 

-Geralt visiting  Codringher and Fenn 

 -Ciri and Fabio Sachs, the circus and the Wyvern

- The Thanedd Ball 

-  Ciri in the  Korath Desert, with  Ihuarraquax

-  Geralt fight with  Vilgefortz

comparatively I don't think we had any confirmed in the book scenes in the speculation before season 2  

the only changes I that I have found are:

Jaskiers bisexuality and romance with  Radovid and Vespula 

Id like to clear up some rumors here, they are not “ aging up a character who is later a tyrant” this  Radovid is King  Vizimir`s Brother, not his son, a completely different character, and there are multiple characters named  Radovid in the  Redanian royal line in the books so its not impossible for the two characters to happen to have the same name in this instance 

for the people who are upset about this change, they already changed Jaskier from the books, there he’s the archetypical pervy, womanizer bard archetype, in the show he still sleeps around with wives alot but he`s more of a golden  Retriever “ falls in love with everyone” type than a skirt chasing pervert.  So if most people were positive about this change, why should what gender his lovers are matter     homophobia that's why

Frankly im just glad we are getting a bisexual male character that will be  involved romantically with a man a and a woman on screen as two different relationships I cant even think of any examples on tv of that 

 the possible premature fate of Rience

honestly this one is just set scouting speculation that he dies here, but I really don't think people are going to be as upset at a chaotic evil character dying as they were Eskel, 

The original character of Gallatin 

he seems to be somewhat inspired by Isengrim and  Iorweth, a scarred elf that is the leader of the  Scoia’tael  guerrillas, based on the fact that they felt they had to make an original character rather than use one of those two,( they likely wont be killing any book characters off prematurely who are not a villains after whole Eskel debacle) as well as reports the actor wrapped filming quickly, seem to indicate he wont survive the season ( could this be part of what leads Cahir into joining the hanza next season) 

to conclude im super excited, this season is packed with scenes I ( and alot of others) have been really wanting to see I cant wait

Pfff Jaskier, you don't believe it yourself that your relationship with Geralt is only platonic. Stop fooling yourself.

Nice abs btw. Joey Batey you are amazing!

Poor fake Ciri…

Visenna is death? Geralt is crying? His childhood story made me cry 😭

Also, Giancardi and Fabio Sachs. Another scene straight from the books!

Good boy Jaskier, telling Geralt that Redania wants Ciri. And he knows something about Radovid is fishy…

If I was Ciri I would have fled as well. Gods those mages are snobbish and arrogant.

So… Istredd is working for Nilfgaard? Why a, I not surprised?

Remember r last post when I was saying I ship Cahir and Gallatin? Well it sunk before it even started… rip.

Redania is madness but I like it…

Woah the Wild Hunt!!!

I repeat: Henry Cavill deserves an oscar. Liam ah s worth will never master Geralt as he did.

Economists see small relief as Brazil government details spending cuts

Market projections suggest cuts between R$40bn and R$50bn with measures, compared with Lula administration’s R$70bn announcement

Economists foresee a lesser relief in public finances than what the government has proposed in detailing its fiscal adjustment package. While ministers and officials project savings of around R$70 billion over the next two years, market analysts estimate a range between R$40 billion and R$50 billion—assuming no dilution occurs in Congress, which adds uncertainty to the proposal’s actual potential.

Overall, economists agree that the measures presented are moving in the right direction—except for the timing of the income tax exemption increase—but they are deemed insufficient to ensure fiscal sustainability even until 2026, let alone to produce the primary results necessary for debt stabilization.

Crucial points highlighted by experts, such as changes in unemployment insurance and reducing rigidity in health and education floors, were excluded. “It’s disappointing, very diffuse, with uncertain returns and overly burdened,” states Alberto Ramos, head of Latin America economic research at Goldman Sachs, in a report. “What was meant to be a turning point to bring the FX rate, which was hitting R$5.8 per dollar, back to R$5.5 had the opposite effect,” said Fabio Giambiagi, an associate researcher at the Fundação Getulio Vargas’s Brazilian Institute of Economics (Ibre-FGV).

Felipe Salto, chief economist at Warren Investimentos, finds the package lacking ambition and audacity. “The fiscal situation is not easy and won’t be resolved solely with the announced measures, even though they are correct,” he comments.

Rita [looks at ciri]: shes definitely not my kid

Tissaia: then whose KID IS SHE?

Fabio: um she came with lady yennefer

Rita [looks at tissaia]: congrats, you're a grandma!!!

[tigerlyla-of-metinna]

Feminine Ciri or tomboy Ciri?

..... Im going to lean on tomboy Ciri. Let's seeeeee.......

Loves to be one of the boys (most of her playmates in her childhood in Skellige are boys). She's more comfortable practicing her swordsmanship than doing the chores with the young priestesses/apprentices in Ellander, and has a whole keep of male influence teaching her how to fight. Triss and Yennefer may have instilled a few feminine traits (make-up application and flirting for Triss, sex-ed from Yennefer), but it only blunted her rough and tumble attitude.

This doesn't mean she can't be feminine. Ciri does turn on the female charm to her advantage when someone shows attraction to her (Jarre and Skjall... maybe even Fabio Sachs)

... very much like something out of the Witcher Bestiary XD.

That's how I see it, thank you for asking!

Andrea Guerra takes role at Italian food seller Eataly

Andrea Guerra, former president of the Italian international behind sunglasses brand Ray-Ban and for the past year senior consultant to Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi, has actually been selected executive chairman of food seller Eataly. Mr Guerra, who has actually concerned embody a generational turmoil in Italian industrialism, told the Financial Times that he would use up his new role from October 1. Eataly, which published profits of EUR350m last year, is a worldwide Italian food cycle that has its best-performing shop on New York's Fifth Avenue. Mr Guerra, in an interview, described Eataly as "a melting pot" that is halfway between an open-air grocery store and an outlet store, and a location where "education and culture meet". In addition to Italian technology business Yoox and start-up incubator H-Farm, Eataly "is one of those business that represent the new wave of this nation", Mr Guerra said. "We can make things, we can develop brand-new services. We can do it." Mr Guerra was defenestrated from Luxottica, the biggest eyeglasses group by incomes, where he had actually been chief executive for a years, last year, when the octogenarian founder Leonardo del Vecchio seized back executive powers for himself. The relocation restored fears about Italy's gerontocratic business culture and its 21st entrepreneurial malaise, as numerous of best-known groups were founded during the country's postwar boom. Mr Guerra swiped EUR40m in money and shares from Luxottica, whose share rate had doubled throughout his period. After leaving Luxottica, he became an adviser on organisation, market and financing to Italy's reformist prime minister Mr Renzi, who has vowed to demolish Italy's old elites. His most noteworthy contribution has been to introduce other private sector business individuals to Mr Renzi, including Claudio Costamagna, previous Goldman Sachs investment banker, and Fabio Gallia, head of BNP Paribas's Italy service. The prime minister consequently put the pair in charge of Italy's EUR400bn sovereign wealth fund, hoping they would use their private sector experience to more actively promote growth and task development.

wait ok so i havent read the books so i dont know but. PLEASE tell me if there is funny "because i wish to eat a third donut" phrase context. for some reason seeing that tag out of nowhere made me laugh i dont know why. is it just a normal phrase that im laughing at for no reason

yes!!!! it’s my memes/humor tag because ciri says it in chapter 2 of time of contempt when she is with a boy named fabio sachs in the market square in gors velen. he goes “do you wish to eat a donut?” and she goes “i wish to eat two.” they exchange another word, he asks her “why?” and she goes “because i wish to eat a third donut.”

between this and the cotton candy in baptism of fire (a much darker scene) ciri has an incorrigible sweet tooth
