⚠️The Witcher Blood Origin Spoilers⚠️

"Would you f**k your own clone?"

They really put this joke in here 🤣

(Also, did they just give us a bisexual Jaskier???? Did they just make it canon???)

[a-collection-of-trees]

Ok so I’m waiting for my friend so we can watch blood origin together but the first like 5 minutes that I’ve watched has made me question something. Is it gay if you’re willing to fuck yourself? Like surely it’s gotta be right? You’ve got the same parts soooo? This is in the effort of trying to figure out if jaskier is canonically bisexual as fuck

[brazenampersand]

so to be clear: 100% of the credit for jaskier finally being canonically queer and having a full romance story thats treated well in season 3 goes to joey batey

[theundeadelf]

I had a much more elaborate post planned but oh god everything about Jaskier in Season 3 is so hysterical right now??

I've known that they were probably confirming his bisexuality for over a year - ever since the audition tapes for a "male royal who flirts with Jaskier" were leaked. The fact that it's a whole romance is excellent, but the theory that Jaskier's chemistry with Geralt (and Yennefer as well honestly) led the showrunners to make this change has me absolutely howling.

Oh, you want Jaskier to have a complicated relationship with a man who has long [blond] hair and he writes a sad love song about him? You want him to have an on-off relationship with a beautiful woman? We've got you! (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)⁠—⁠☆

I will always have a soft spot for Jaskier and Geralt especially. But as fun as it is to speculate in fanon, ultimately I knew it wasn't happening. I think the very best we can hope for in that direction is an acknowledgement of one-sided feelings, and to me, having Jaskier acknowledged as queer or bi - that he "doesn't see gender" - is way beyond my wildest dreams already.

I really want to know more about Radovid and Vespula! Will Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri ever find out that their bard has caught feelings?? Will Jaskier ever have to choose his family over his newfound love? They've drastically changed Radovid for the show - what implications will that have??

(Basically can it be June 29th already???)

Every time I see a comment to the effect of "Jaskier (of The Witcher) has to be straight! He slept with those lords' wives." I'm going to start taking that as a dogwhistle of biphobia since the character in the Netflix series has been confirmed as bisexual and in 2023 I really shouldn't have to explain to adults that bisexual men can be attracted to women too...

jaskier confirmed bisexual? and it took me until now to hear about it? my little carrier pigeons from tumblr dot com have failed me

[thedemonofcat]

The upcoming season three series is expected to confirm Jaskier's bisexuality, an exciting development. Furthermore, there have been hints that Jaskier will enter into a romantic relationship with Radovid despite Radovid traditionally being portrayed as an antagonist. This presents an opportunity for a poignant and tragic love story between the two characters.

Granting these two characters the most endearing romantic moments reminiscent of those found in heartwarming romantic comedy films. Unveiling a compelling twist, it becomes evident that Radovid harbours a deep aversion towards anything associated with magic, while Jaskier, under the guise of Sandpiper, has been secretly aiding the elves. Exploring a dramatic turn of events, Radovid's anger escalates to the point where he attempts to take Jaskier's life, only to be thwarted by Geralt, who comes to the bard's rescue. This heart-wrenching incident leaves Jaskier shattered and devastated, forced to depart with a broken heart.

2023 really was a banner year for my faves:

Jaskier's bisexuality? Confirmed in season 3 of The Witcher. Booker's bisexuality? Confirmed by The Old Guard creator, Greg Rucka. The Captain (James') homosexuality? Confirmed in season 5 of Ghosts.

Roll on 2024. May the queers keep winning.

I'm going to say this incredibly bluntly, but The Witcher (finally) providing canon confirmation and representation of Jaskier's bisexuality is nothing but a blatant grab for ratings and views and positive engagement in a piss-poor attempt to revive itself.

Jaskier deserves better. Joey Batey, who's thrown his entire being into this role, deserves better. The fans deserve better.

From the moment the show was announced they've been skirting the topic, flirting with it whenever it suits them and outright ignoring it when they can't think of anything smart and vague to say. Baiting fans by coyly saying they couldn't possibly confirm he is, but they can't deny he is either.

Using it as a counter to try and stop their public image and longevity disintegrating is just... So fucking disappointing. Its been done before by other shows, both with queer characters and with other concepts, but again.

Joey and Jaskier deserved more. Jaskier being acknowledged as bisexual should've been its own moment. It should've been for the character, not for the profit.

Why I'm excited and not worried about the Witcher season 3

season 3 will be awesome and much closer to the books than season 2, don't believe me? I have proof  

We are now about 3 weeks out from the season 3 premier, comparatively 3 weeks out from season 2 there where already reports about a lot of the stuff that  wasn't in the books.

 -Eskel`s death,

 -2 big fight scenes at  Kaer Morhen, 

 -Voleth Meir,an all powerful evil magical being that tricks those who want their deepest desires,

  -the scenes together with Yen and Fringilla 

  -and expanded roles for  Istredd and Fringilla( I actually liked these editions finding them much more interesting than in the books where they are just involved in love triangle stuff with Geralt and Yen)  

but we know that many beloved scenes from Time of Contempt are making it in as well as a few crucial skipped moments from blood of elves  

based on the trailer we are  getting alot more family bonding, fluff, laughter Yen teaching Ciri magic, Geralt and Yen rekindling there relationship ,  Geralt and Jaskier actually being friends now ( apparently the writers have learned that you can have slow moments of  characters just talking, laughing and getting along, they don't have to just bicker, fight monsters , and encounter evil all the time )     (( that's the last of the salt in this post I promise)) 

 first of all, Stephen Surjik director of the  A Grain of Truth episode is returning 

based on the trailer/stills, casting reports, as well as set scouting pictures from  Redanian Intelligence, we have these scenes confirmed : 

- Jaskier singing to the dryads in Brokilon

- the scenes in  Shaerrawedd 

-Geralt visiting  Codringher and Fenn 

 -Ciri and Fabio Sachs, the circus and the Wyvern

- The Thanedd Ball 

-  Ciri in the  Korath Desert, with  Ihuarraquax

-  Geralt fight with  Vilgefortz

comparatively I don't think we had any confirmed in the book scenes in the speculation before season 2  

the only changes I that I have found are:

Jaskiers bisexuality and romance with  Radovid and Vespula 

Id like to clear up some rumors here, they are not “ aging up a character who is later a tyrant” this  Radovid is King  Vizimir`s Brother, not his son, a completely different character, and there are multiple characters named  Radovid in the  Redanian royal line in the books so its not impossible for the two characters to happen to have the same name in this instance 

for the people who are upset about this change, they already changed Jaskier from the books, there he’s the archetypical pervy, womanizer bard archetype, in the show he still sleeps around with wives alot but he`s more of a golden  Retriever “ falls in love with everyone” type than a skirt chasing pervert.  So if most people were positive about this change, why should what gender his lovers are matter     homophobia that's why

Frankly im just glad we are getting a bisexual male character that will be  involved romantically with a man a and a woman on screen as two different relationships I cant even think of any examples on tv of that 

 the possible premature fate of Rience

honestly this one is just set scouting speculation that he dies here, but I really don't think people are going to be as upset at a chaotic evil character dying as they were Eskel, 

The original character of Gallatin 

he seems to be somewhat inspired by Isengrim and  Iorweth, a scarred elf that is the leader of the  Scoia’tael  guerrillas, based on the fact that they felt they had to make an original character rather than use one of those two,( they likely wont be killing any book characters off prematurely who are not a villains after whole Eskel debacle) as well as reports the actor wrapped filming quickly, seem to indicate he wont survive the season ( could this be part of what leads Cahir into joining the hanza next season) 

to conclude im super excited, this season is packed with scenes I ( and alot of others) have been really wanting to see I cant wait 

[renfriscreyden]

Now that jaskier is confirmed to be bisexual we finally have some representation for the lonely yearning annoying creative bisexuals! A true win!
