On my knees praying that we get a tense little Geralt vs Radovid moment with Jaskier bisexually panicking in the background in the next half 🙏

Just a reminder that:
Joey Batey has actively combated scenes, information, plots, details and lore being cut from the show by including it in his songs.
Joey Batey has been the lead songwriter and composer for all of Jaskier's music since the start of the show. That's three whole seasons worth of music so far. That's six years of writing and producing music.
Joey Batey has embodied Jaskier as bisexual since day one, and actively admitted to having to write over 7,000 words across multiple emails (excluding phone calls and in-person meetings) to fight against the choices the writers and runners were proposing for the 'reveal' scene(s) and future scenes.
Joey was one of the first people during the video interviews to praise Henry after the DeuxMoi smear campaign and has displayed nothing but respectful support for him amidst the chaos. He also did his best to imply that Henry hadn't been fired, despite the active rumors otherwise and the blanket ban on addressing actual details.
Joey filmed the Rience torture scene for over twelve consecutive hours despite being in pain and feeling nauseated and experiencing significant mental distress and being in freezing cold temperatures, outside, in the middle of winter.
Has, without fail, always supported his female co-stars and had nothing but good things to say about them. Has never sexualised them once or behaved inappropriately, and always ensures they get equal press coverage when doing group or duo events.
Read the books, played the games and asked Henry to help him prepare for and portray Jaskier as an accurate representation of Dandelion and Dandelion's personality and characteristics despite the show's shoddy writing.

It has occurred to me that Radovid is deliberately getting in a relationship with Jaskier while being fully aware that if he fucks it up he might get a Burn Butcher Burn-level breakup song written about him, and honestly I respect him so much for that

If you are going to post praise or support for Jaskier's confirmed sexuality, please do not dedicate it to The Witcher or the showrunners and writers. Dedicate it to Joey. Joey is the one who fought from day one for the show to honor Jaskier's sexuality. Joey is the one who spent weeks arguing with the writers and show runners to make the scenes accurate, engaging, respectful and honest. Joey is the one who said if you're going to use this as a lifeline, you're at least going to do it right.
