The Witcher and his Lark

[sandinthepipes]

No, but like, imagine you're jaskier. A bard painfully in love with your weirdly mutated wolf witcher. A magical thing tells you the story of the first ever dog Witcher, and you're like "ok, cool" and then she tells you how this fucking dog is in love with a BARD who gets called basically the same things you get called.

And they are in mutual love and it's like the best most romantic love to be ever existed.

And you're there. Ok, cool, fuck you too.

JOEY BATEY as JASKIER in THE WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN (2022)

#bard, poet and a true storyteller

[blaidd-gwyn]

I think Istredd would throttle Jaskier if they ever met after blood origin. He's dedicated his entire life to studying the monoliths, and then here comes this bard who tells him exactly what they are, where they're from and how they work, and as much as he wants to discredit it, it fits in with his own research and fills in some of the massive gaps he had.

Istredd would see red. Yen would cheer them on.

SOPHIA BROWN as Éile/The Lark in THE WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN (2022)

[finleycannotdraw]

well if there’s one thing I learned from watching blood origin it’s that witcher/bard has been the ideal pairing from the very beginning

[chaosandwolves]

So....

The first Witcher had a bard by his side who loved him, huh!???

A bard who used SINGING TO CALM HIM AND ANCHOR HIM!????

Declan really with his whole chest said, here have this Geraskiers

Jaskier: a summary

[twyllodrus]

Jaskier & Scoia’tael

Why help? What's in it for you? I was at the great oak Bleobheris when it was raided. The Seat of Friendship, the druids called it. Where every free thinker was welcome, no matter their race, their creed. They come for the elves, Yennefer. They'll come for the dwarves. And sooner or later, they will come for everyone. Anyone that they deem the “other,” so eventually no artist is safe...

JASKIER MEETS JASKIER The Witcher: Blood Origin preview (x)

[grishaverse-oddity]

Jaskier: *singing about the conjunction and using specific names*

Everyone: “There goes Jaskier, making his characters again”

Vesemir (who knows the actual story of the conjunction and how Witchers were made): “bitch what the ACTUAL FUCK?”

[eileensdress]

Netflix realized the witcher franchise is going to shit and their gut reaction was ‘more bard’ and ‘make things gayer’ and guess what both decisions were correct

[wren-of-the-woods]

Netflix: Here's an elaborate new story, full of interesting plot, special effects, and lots of characters for you to enjoy :)

Me, every time without fail:

[handwrittenhello]

if you’re on the fence about watching Blood Origin, here’s why you should:

rogue one-esque found family vibes! a bunch of complete strangers uniting around a common goal and bonding along the way 🥺

incredible music from bear mccreary (who also notably did the black sails music)!! lots of cool hurdy gurdy and string instrumentals as well as sung folk songs from the main character

the main character is the most feral badass bard you could ever hope for. 10/10 could go from singing in front of a crowd to murdering you without stopping to catch her breath 🥰

the visuals! the sets are a nice mix of medieval dwarven architecture and cool elven decoration. the costumes are INCREDIBLE every single one of merwyn’s dresses is stunning. the outdoors scenes look straight out of a storybook

genuinely funny and cute and heartwarming moments that don’t slow down the plot too much. they tease you with a little bit of every character’s backstory while also leaving you enough room to imagine more

the plot is a nice allegory for imperialism and classism and what sacrifices the few will make for the sake of the many

jaskier cameos!!

in conclusion go watch it! it's easy to binge all four episodes at once and i promise you'll be entertained!
