the scene i find most relatable in all of the witcher saga is ciri in the korath desert, and idk what that says about me, but… probably nothing good 😅🙃
#i am emotionally connected to these events and her characterization during this chapter in ways i can’t even understand#this chapter is also probably singlehandedly why i think the witcher makes a brilliant YA series even if it’s not originally marketed as YA#ch 6 toc is excruciating but it is so cathartic and relieving to read :’(#because every young person has felt betrayed abandoned powerless and lost#ciri’s entire feeling beginning here which she recounts in ttos ch 1 to vysogota#that she felt so betrayed by the morals and goodness which geralt instilled in her because it was useless and did not save her#the whole series is about: if goodness does not save then what is the point of being good#and then when she goes insane from fire magic and shouts she’s going to make cabbages grow in the desert#this entire chapter is just what teenhood-young adulthood is like lmao#oscillating rapidly between ‘i am going to die here i am utterly powerless’ and ‘I CAN DO ANYTHING’#and her revenge fantasy exploding into killing everyone she loves because paranoia says they will also one day betray her#idk what else to say. really hit the nail on the head with ciri’s character. i understand now how she is the evil and geralt is the good#the elbow high diaries
