i’m ngl it was extremely painful to reread this
#history and the heroes are forgotten… built over… buried at foots of castles and purposefully disintegrated into ash by the revisionists…#<- someone who’s favorite fight scenes in the witcher are the battle of the bridge and stygga castle#it makes me think of all the even more ancient stuff lying underneath like athens rome and paris#time moves on and people have to rebuild in order for society to progress and that means that the love that existed is forgotten#but i remember… in the angry words of the small ciri: ‘i haven’t forgotten!’#narration of baptism of fire: ‘a battle that later would not even be mentioned in later chronicles’#but condwiramurs and nimue: OMG WE HAVE PAINTINGS OF THE BATTLE OF THE BRIDGE#that’s the thing that makes it hopeful#that despite being forgotten in-universe and in the fiction. it is all beloved and unforgettable to the readers#the fact that geralt and dandelion had to backtrack their entire journey with ciri swapped out for their company#to make painfully apparent to them the exchange of lives that geralt unintentionally made and only understood in retrospect#it’s good writing… but it’s hella insidious lmaoooo 😭 literally what could be so painful#even camping in some of the same places they had stayed previously#the journey out of the underworld should be freeing but its actually so heavy#would you choose to stay in hades if your friends were there too#also—that makes beauclair their elysium :’)#the elbow-high diaries#just get me a t-shirt that says ‘I ❤️ GERALT’S HANZA’ lol
