all too often, i fall into the very same writing trap which blood and wine DLC did: wanting to see regis as a really deep and tragic character, instead of recognizing that the whole point is the subversion of a vampire being not a wretched creature worthy of pity, but instead just another clown in the human circus

so, i’m guilty and i will be the first to walk into missed-the-point jail

#(this equally applies to angouleme but they did not do this with her obviously and i wanted to be catty about blood & wine for a moment)#joking bc theres nuance to it and every one of sapkowski’s clowns are tragic but #i just have to admit for my own conscience that i think too darkly about him when i should be being more canon-minded :>#i’m always like to myself ‘where the hell are you coming up with this’ and i’m always like ‘my own wounded heart 🥺’#and what i cant argue with that response #the elbow-high diaries #side characters are side characters for a reason and its baked into them but i cant deal with that lol #my mind has to drill into them like there’s depth to explore
