#also so funny how dandelion can show up in blood & wine and anna wont rip his head off. lol

dandelion x priscilla was probably the one of the biggest mistakes cdpr made (the primary one being that ciri doesn’t call yennefer ‘mom.’)

priscilla is almost entirely based off of essi daven, who was a character that dandelion saw as a younger sister: a younger, female bard, also blonde, who was wonderfully prone to bickering and love of all things creative. to hammer this point home, if you get mods to make dandelion blonde like he is canonically, this really becomes apparent symbolically in that they look pretty related... ew

the idea of making dandelion committed to a single woman is just funny and OOC. in the books the only woman he ever swears total loyalty to is duchess anna henrietta of toussaint, and swears they’re going to be married, and then he even cheats on her! literally cheats on a duchess of all people, which schedules him an execution in the city square.

“ha ha dandelion is so narcissistic he could only ever commit to himself. he doesn’t care about anyone but himself (and priscilla is a representation of himself but just in female form)” are we forgetting brokilon. are we forgetting the escape from vissigerd’s camp. are we forgetting the entire journey of the hansa. come on now . part of his character arc in the saga was how he proves to be loyal to geralt and— ok . ok. also i think reducing a female character’s identity to “this guy’s girlfriend is just a carbon copy of him” can come off as kinda weird ...

no hate on priscilla i just wish cdpr had no reason to do this besides “in order for there to be a happy ending, everyone needs to pony up with a partner of the opposite sex and be happily monogamous forever :)” which is just so weird... why conform... let a man be slutty
