the Witcher: Blood Origins (1 of 5) - Harry Conway

[dandelion-and-the-wolf]

Netflix writers making Jaskier a minuscule percent elf, probably to cover the fact he called himself “other”: that’ll stop them trying to insist the bard is queer constantly!

Joey Batey, out here doing the Lord’s work as usual: Oh, two Jaskier’s in a room would absolutely bend each other over the bar and fuck themselves silly.

[islenthatur]

"GERALT!" Jaskiers voice ripped across the battlefield, high-pitched and terrified.

Geralt pushed forward, sword cutting down any soldier between him and his Bard. The Squirrels that fought with them moved out of his way after a glance, clearing a path with the Song of the Seven on their lips. He had just got Jaskier back, and he finally felt the sweet feel of life on those lips... Geralt will not let anything take it from him now.

"GERALT!!" His name was like a whip, called from many directions as the song picked up with fervour the closer he got to Jaskier. His medallion rippled violently on his armour, the sheer taste of chaos in the air near suffocating.

A glimpse of red between fighting Nilfgaards had his heart squeezing, close, so very close.

"NO!" The word was violently ripped from his throat, bringing agony and blood as he saw the sword pierce through Jaskier just as a portal ripped open and swallowed him whole. The last thing he saw of Jask, his Lark, was terrified eyes and his name spilling from those lips with blood.

Rage ingulfed him, fury he hadn't felt the likes of in a very long time. His swords swung, cutting a path towards where his Lark once stood and he let go. He let go of the humanity that Jaskier had brought back, fought tooth and nail to keep front and centre. Let Nilfgaard see the Butcher.

Time lost all meaning.

"Geralt!" His name was called, high and panicked, not the voice he wanted but one he knew.

"Yen." The word, guttural and sharp. The battle still raged around him, but none dared grow close to the Butcher and the Witch.

Purple eyes glanced around, over him, behind him. "Did you find him?"

A snarl ripped from his throat, pushing Geralt back into the depths of his mind. "Someone ran him through with a sword, a mortal wound, and a portal ripped him from me!"

Yen let out a sharp inhale, her eyes scanning the field for the bard she has come to call friend. There was nothing, no sign on him, only the thick, cloying air of chaos. A powerful amount of chaos. She turned back to Geralt to see his face twisted in a snarl, hands snapping the neck of a brave soldier, teeth gleaming like rubies.

She had never felt afraid of Geralt, not till now.

In one blink and the next, the ground vibrated heavily, the air buzzing and all around began to slow as something ripped across the field with a resounding crack. Silence on a battlefield was unusual, something to cause hundreds to still was...

"The fuck?" Lamberts voice was heard from the left, drawing her eyes to the figure he was staring at.

It was the bard, Jaskier the likes they've never seen. Tall and broad, clad in black leather, two swords on his back and a hammer in his hand. But his face, his face was marred with a vicious smile, black eyes of the void... witcher eyes...

We should worry less about whether a show is “good” and more about whether it contains a blood-splattered sapphic dwarf hellbent on revenge

[loki-is-my-kink-awakening]

Okay, so the The Witcher: Blood Origin gave us some interesting things.

1. The first witcher loved his bard

THE FIRST WITCHER LOVED HIS BARD

Losing my goddamn mind on the Geraskier parallels

Honestly, I can't. Like, Netflix, you give us this and expect us to be normal about it.

2. "One of her blood will sing the last"

And boom, Jaskier is told to sing the Song of The Seven.

Like, the implication is just

And the fact Jaskier never really ages

Yeah, I know Jaskier's agelessness was a mistake on Netflix's part and I also know after that line they then showed Ciri but unless Ciri is also going to take after surrogate dad/uncle Jaskier and sing...

[witcher-inspiration]

I wish I was better but I would in fact watch any kind of spin-off that Netflix served me as long as Joey Batey as Jaskier appears as the storyteller.

Like thank you, I’ll take ten.

Francesca Mills as Meldof (The Witcher Blood Origins)

witcher: blood origin

great series visually but personally:

1 -  some characters were so ooc from the book description idk felt like a fanfiction in parts

2 - there wasn’t a need to change canon altogether, or at least could the ending not be that jaskiers the descendant not ciri it makes 0 sense

3 - I’m confused by the 1000 year reign and numbers and stuff -  Auberon was 650 canonically and he was the oldest Aen Elle ? Eredin was younger than him too? I could just be getting confused though

4 - I would like one series, just ONE that doesn’t involve SA please. Please give me a hope. Especially the pre-pubescent girl c’mon

5 - very personal one since I’m Irish but some of the accents killed me a little inside.

[hellchilde]

i've known Lark Eile for 5 minutes, but if anything happens to her, then i will kill everyone in this room and then myself

[confused-wolf-puppy]

Can't even be mad at Netflix for Blood Origins, they gave us twink Eredin xD

[yilinglaozuhot]

Eredin creating the wild hunt to get back to his lover across time and space? Fuck everything, sign me up for this shit.

The Seven as D&D classes

Why? Because I’m bored, and a lot of people have already pointed that Blood Origins is similar to a D&D story (I agree on that one, but I don’t think that it made the show any less enjoyable)

Eile / the Lark : bard obvi, with a couple rogue level because why not

Fjall Stoneheart : barbarian who took a blood hunter level

Scian (<3) : fighter, but her fighting style reminds me of monks so I’m gonna give her a level in monk as well

Callan : fighter, no multiclass for this one

Zacare : sorcerer with druid or cleric levels for the healing abilities

Syndril : sorcerer with wizard levels

Meldof : ranger who took a barbarian level after Gwen died

If other D&D nerds are passing through (and I bet there are), tell me what you think !

[pixiedreamer21]

Literally only watched the Jaskier scenes in the prequel. Song wasn’t bad.

[runawaymarbles]

Eile and Fjall to literally everyone they meet: yeah we’re wanted criminals on our way to kill the empress

Literally everybody: sick can I help
