#the witcher transcript

[vulpinesaint]

listen i am geralt of rivia hater number one but one thing i actually CANNOT stand is when the fandom mischaracterizes him. took one look at this man who speaks very straight-forwardly and matter-of-fact and is a little recalcitrant with his words sometimes and went "haha he communicates in grunts! man who only says 'hm'!" and then won't even write him to speak in full fucking sentences. hello???? hello???????? yes the netflix show was a bad influence on everybody because they were trying too hard to depict geralt as a stoic manly badass but we CANNOT let that distract us from the REAL thing to make fun of geralt for. which are his Constant Unprovoked Monologues

[sunrisetune]

[ID: Screenshots from several series that have the same theme.

1st - A screenshot from 'The Witcher' Netflix show. Jaskier and Geralt are sitting together on a mountain, looking out. Jaskier says without looking over, "We could go to the coast."

2nd - From 'Killing Eve', focused on Villanelle walking through Roman ruins. She's turned to the side and saying to Eve offscreen, "I was thinking, we should go to Alaska."

3rd - From 'Our Flag Means Death', with Ed and Steve talking to each other. Edward's turned towards Steve and the camera, and he says enthusiastically, "We could go to China."

4th - From 'Good Omens 2', a close-up on Aziraphale's face as he's speaking with Crowley. He looks upset, and is saying, "-- to Heaven. I'll run it, you'll be my second in command."

5th (posted in the reply) - From NBC's show 'Hannibal', showing Hannibal talking with Will. He says, "We could disappear now."

6th - Part of the transcript from The Magnus Archives episode 154. It says - "Archivist: 'Uh, I, I don’t know. I don’t – know. But… maybe it’s worth it? The risk – y-you and me, together, getting out of here –' [Martin sniffs.] Archivist: '-- one way or another.' Martin. 'John.' (He sighs.) "

/End ID].

I think I've seen this film before and I didn't like the ending

[perseruna]

heyyyy do you have any details/sources for the ca*ill being a jackass thing? ngl i watch twn for yen and jaskier so i was already planning on continuing to season 4 but i'd love some reasons to be actively excited for the actor switch. but i haven't kept up on the behind-the-scenes stuff so i'm kinda lost on that front if you're up for sharing any of what you know!

okay guys buckle up this is THE anti henry cavill megathread xoxo

First of all him dating a teenager as a 33 year old fully grown man literally gross and disgusting.

Also as this quote implies they started dating a year prior and only went public when she was 19 so they supposedly started dating when she was 18.

His entire dating history is a MESS. Sure the women he dated are not him, but he chose to date them, I wouldn't even associate myself with people like these let alone be in a relationship with them. He dated the infamous transphobic TERF Gina Carano, albeit before her loud controversy, but I doubt her harmful views were any different back then. His current gf has a history of doing black face.

His "Me Too" comments.

His comments on the Me Too movement are literally so vile. If you don’t want to be called a rapist, just don’t rape women, it’s literally as simple as that. They’re even more foul because they’re promoting the idea that women lie about their abusive for fame, promoting that harmful rhetoric especially in our times is incredibly dangerous.

Now onto his on set behavior.

We can't talk about his set behavior without mentioning the deuxmoi set leak. Here's the transcript of it:

[Transcript:

There’s something I really really wanted to read to you guys--it has to do with why Henry Cavill left The Witcher. I know that was something that you guys were super interested in when it happened, and I just recently got this message. Somebody was like “Hey, do you want to know what really went down?” And I was like “Sure!” So let me just read it. It says:

“At the beginning of the show, Henry was good to work with. A lot of difficult demands that made people feel like he wasn’t a team player, but that’s not unusual for a really big star. Though in TV it truly usually doesn’t happen until the second season. But in season two and three something shifted and he became really impossible for women to work with, which is always a big problem, but even worse here because the showrunner is a woman. He would try to overrule her and try to get changes made last minute across the board without her knowledge, which, if you know anything about showrunning, is completely fucked. The showrunner has to sign off on every miniscule detail down to the buttons on a costume. Female writers and directors were suddenly being completely ignored on set, unable to do their jobs. Every department head was complaining. He started making comments—it wasn’t a sexual thing, he wasn’t grabbing anyone or being lewd, but it was disrespectful and toxic all the same.

“He is deeply addicted to video games, to the point where it was like working with any other addict. He was distracted, he was late, he was obsessive, and a lot of people think the misogyny came from gamer world. Video game bro language is not how you talk to coworkers, and he wouldn’t stop. Someone on the show compared it to watching someone get brainwashed by QAnon, like his whole personality shifted. Eventually his disrespect escalated. He would rewrite scenes without even alerting the other actors in the scenes until it was time to shoot. He decided that he didn’t want any romantic scenes at all—no kissing scenes, no shirtless scenes, et cetera. He wanted complete control of storylines but really had no idea of the limitations of TV, structure, budget, et cetera. He formed a weird alliance with one writer who was also a gamer, who eventually got fired after multiple HR complaints were made and after that writer left, Henry did anything he could to hold up production and cause problems.

“Eventually top brass at Netflix was tired of him costing them money with delays and HR investigations and the showrunner was asked to construct a potential exit for him. Netflix reached out to him personally and he was given one final warning, and violated that warning with an email he sent to the entire writing staff right after that meeting. That was it. It’s very disappointing.”

End transcript.]

Now believe me or not, but I know from a really good source that the leak was indeed real.

There's a lot of patterned behavior that tracks with what we know of him and his past controversies.

After that leak came out, there was a lot of people from different places coming to comment that ‘yes’ they’ve heard a very similar story adding a little bit more details of their own.

this quickly deleted tweet from one of the writers/producers:

there were rumors about him being an asshole to Anya specifically.

He went on record that he doesn't "understand" sex scenes. Which I know the sex discourse is rampant nowadays and each to their own, but he specifically signed up for a role that requires those scenes and then refused to do them and was allegedly nasty to Anya about it and with the way he talks about women...

Also it’s important to touch upon the “writer he had a weird alliance with” that man in question is Beau DeMayo of the recent fame of getting fired by Marvel from X-Men ‘97. He was previously allegedly fired from The Witcher for being emotionally and physically abusive. And he allegedly got fired from X-Men for being abusive as well. One of The Witcher writers tweeted this after Beau smeared them for “disliking the books” Beau was literally the first person to start that narrative.

The fact that it was HIS idea not to say lines of his dialogue in S1 and instead grunt. To the point that Joey had to take Henry’s lines and make it his own, so the plot would make sense, he talks about it in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Oyh0t117t0U&, and then once S2 press arrived Henry was talking about how he was trying to fight the big bad writers to give him more lines. Ridiculous.

Everyone is already pointing out that the cast looks so much happier without him, and it’s very true. Henry was never present on close to any BTS pics from filming the previous seasons, or on any cast dinners or birthdays. He wouldn't even do any shared interviews with the other three mains but only had solo interviews which to me was giving disrespectful like you're an ensemble you’re not the only lead here. It felt like he was above them to sit down and answer questions with them. When they were doing press junkets in Brazil and Poland Anya, Joey and Freya would always arrive together and leave together with that man leaving all the events early and by himself. And like people who post quotes from the cast about him being perfect from press junkets as “proof” are insane to me like Obviously they’re going to say nice things about him, not only they're newcomers, and he's an established industry name, but they’re doing PRESS for a show that he’s a STAR of (well, was lmao)

The fact that he never defended Anya from the racist trolls, even though most of them were HIS fans. Like she had to go through so much and that man couldn’t make a single comment about it as a leading man BUT he could make a whole IG post because people were being mean to his gf and calling her out for doing blackface.

And sure people might say that a lot of these are unverified sources, and I’d get it if it was a singular case, but there are a ton of these accounts that all match each other. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

[acevasion]

I need to put my thoughts somewhere, so here we are. Three things living rent-free in my head about All for the Game. So, I'm Polish (so please excuse grammar mistakes, I probably have 'English dyslexia'), and I have thoughts about Neil's Polish heritage and Polish grammar (and pop culture). You can ignore the first one if you don't like grammar and vocabulary blabbering, you can do whatever you want with the second thought, and the third one is just... a fun fact.

Neil's birth surname is Wesninski, and I am sure that the Polish transcript would be Weśninski or Weśniński (like with tennis player Caroline Wozniacki - in the Polish transcript her name is Karolina Woźniacka). It's an excellent job, surname sounds Polish (A+ for that), but I would kick off the first 'n'. Wesinski, or rather Wesiński, sounds better. But it's just a suggestion, I don't mind it at all, because...

If you think deeper about the surname Wesninski (written as Weśninski), you can roughly translate it as 'a man in a dream' ('we śnie' in a dream, and ending '-ski' suggests the masculine form of the noun). So yeah. As I said, you can do whatever you want with that knowledge. Was it intentional? I don't think so. Is this a stretched theory? A little, but well, no one can stop me.

Lastly, just a fun fact. Neil's father has Polish roots and is a butcher. The Butcher of Baltimore. Do you know which Polish butcher is the most famous in the world? The Butcher of Blaviken. White Wolf. Geralt of Rivia. The Witcher. It is probably only a coincidence - again - but a funny one.

That's all I wanted to say. I don't know if someone already had these thoughts, and I just repeated something, but I needed to vent. Enjoy a crappy post! c;

Transcription below the cut

Néfaria: And what about you, Bloody Ax? Do you have a wife and children among those Orcs? Bloody Ax: Nope!

Néfaria: So a boyfriend? Bloody Ax: Not eitha. Ya know, I'ze a af ork. Orkish females see ‘da parts uv me 'dat are 'umie, an’ 'umie females see 'da parts uv me 'dat are orkish, so I stay single….

Néfaria: Your orcish roots come from your father, don’t they? Did he…? Bloody Ax: No, 'e didn’t r*pe ma muvva! 'E an’ ma muvva were very much 'n love as strange or unnatural as it may seem to you…

Bloody Ax: Ma farva, Azogg Bear Claw, was a powerful, charismatik an’ authoritative warlord…

Bloody Ax: ...an' ma muvva, Sati Thunderstorms, was a powerful witcher from 'da people uv Kêmi

Bloody Ax: I know noth'n uv ‘ow dey met, 'sept ‘dat dey are neva left.

Néfaria: Your mother did give you her magical powers, right? Bloody Ax: Right. Néfaria: Is she still alive? Bloody Ax: No, she died wiv ma farva ‘n a WAAGH! By mak'n sex wiv ‘im forr yearz earlia, she’d lost all ‘er powaz. Despite dis, she insisted on follow'n ma farva on 'da battlefield.

Bloody Ax: She served 'em as a squire, protect'n ‘em wiv' ‘er shield an’ warn'n 'em where ‘da slashes kame from.

Bloody Ax: She held me across 'er shoulda an’ ‘da sword ‘dat kilt 'er almost broached me.

Bloody Ax: I was found several hours afta ‘da WAAGH! an’ sold as a pet ta children uv snobby 'umiez.

Bloody Ax: It seems dat ork babiez are absolutely kute!

Bloody Ax: Unfortunately dey bekome very ugly grow'n up. Wen i wus about eight, ma mastaz kicked me outta ‘da nursery an’ dey konfined me ta ‘da most repulsive tasks.

Bloody Ax: Wen i wus about twelve, dey sold me ta a lanist 'dat made me fight ‘n 'da arena fer forr years. Den i discovered ma magikal powaz an’ I managed ta escape an’ ta reach da mountain uv da Boneez where renegade sorceraz distributed dere knowledge ta me.

Bloody Ax: Oh… sorry, i monopolize ‘da konversation! Néfaria: Don't apologize to me. I find your story quite fascinating. Bloody Ax: Not any more dan yorz... Néfaria: But just as dramatic as mine.

Néfaria: But you already know everything there is to know about me. My story is filled with so many rumours, true or false… The Captain Harlot! Here is at least a true rumor! Admit that we are a pair you and I: the Captain Harlot and the Virgin Wizard!

Néfaria: Sorry, I was just razzing you! I did not want to be indiscreet or make you uncomfortable. I deduced that your powers worked as for your mother! Bloody Ax: Ya now know ‘da real reason for ma celibacy…

Bloody Ax: But she’z already married ta anovva… Néfaria: Really?

[limerental]

He said this about it for those curious:

He also clearly said "we can't say more specifically or we will spoil it" so the idea that he 100% confirmed a multiverse theory is all from click bait articles or a misinterpretation of what was said

what you may be hearing about the “multiverse” explanations about the recast  is a false, click/ragebait article title 

  this is RI speculating, these arnt new interviews none of the interviews actually use the word “multiverse” This is about the unreliable narrator aspect of the story 

They’re still doing unreliable narrator and nothing will change my mind about this, even Tomek and the earlier article mention it several times, when they never actually mention ‘multiverses’, but mention multiple stories and storylines told by different people…, as in like Bards, and historians that would have had  different accounts of what happened 

they already kinda did this with blood origin it was clear that the story was biased to what  Éile experienced and that what we saw wasn’t 100% acuate to what actually happened, and changed greatly over the centurys  while the series might have been a snoozefest that took any liberties with the source material, the idea of storytellers and the writers of history having power is something that is explored in the books  

They do mention multiple worlds ONCE, but in relation to ‘multiple worlds with multiple stories’, whereas they mention multiple stories with multiple POVs multiple times. This is still the most likely scenario for me, this is about  characters like  Condwiramurs Tilly and  Nimue or similar original characters that will fill a similar role  

And yes, Tomek specifically mentions book 5. You know what else is specifically mentioned in book 5, and books beforehand as well? Multiple people telling the story, who would have different descriptions of Geralt!! I’m telling you, this is still what they’re doing, Im willing to bet my hardcover collection on it 

[phneltwrites]

I've read your Witcher works way before I realised you were in YR fandom as well. For the ask game, can you do 6, 11, and 14? Any ship works☺️

my witcher fic??? omg that's a blast from pre-panini. glad our paths crossed again!

6. Recommend a fic that does something cool with format or structure (epistolary, social media, 5 things, non-linear, etc.)

I also answered 6 here and here

And everyone's read the DC comics fic that's told through sex pollen release forms right? I don't have to rec that one?

User Since by rageprufrock. Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Ok so in the first Avengers film they establish that Phil Coulson is a huge Captain America head and has vintage merch. This fic is told primarily through forum posts on the Captain America forum that Phil moderated. Note that this fic is tagged mcd and that's for phil's canonical "death" which never happened cause we all know he went to Tahiti which is a magical place.

Wormhole X-Treme by Nindulgence. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis

This is a fake imdb page for a TV show that doesn't exist. Ok so for context, in Stargate SG-1 there's a show within the show called Wormhole X-Treme which is basically Stargate, and they play it for comedy. (supernatural has a similar thing). Stargate Atlantis is a spin-off of Stargate SG-1 and so this is the IMDb for the spinoff that would exist in universe.

Trivia: In episode 1.3 ("If Food Be the Food of Love..."), the "harvest banquet" clearly consists of a dozen or so Swiss Chalet quarter-chicken dinners with fries. In addition, the "alien sweetmeat" containing the hidden aphrodisiac appears to be a chocolate Timbit. (more)

Parts Unknown: Bajor by fresne. Fandom: Star Trek Deep Space Nine

This is a transcript of an episode of Anthony Bourdain's travel food how "Parts Unknown" as if it had gone to the fictitious planet of Bajor. Bajor, in Deep Space Nine, was recently free of over a century of occupation and a lot of the show is about the struggle after that.

"I believe in the Prophets. I just think they're *bleep," says the Bajoran man from before.

11. Recommend a fic you think is a hidden gem/deserves more reads.

The Moon Represents My Heart by afrai. Fandom: Star Wars: Rogue One

This is theeee Baze/Chirrut fic and it's gorgeous and so star wars and so them and also I get the song stuck in my head every time I see the title so that's also good. If you haven't seen Rogue One, Baze and Chirrut are both Jedi religion affiliated, with one of them being more of a believer than the other. They are devoted to each other and it's one of the dynamics I'm the weakest to, which is "I won't let you do that stupid thing without me, even if we both die trying." Which they do at the end of the film, but this fic shows so much how theirs was a beautiful life worth living.

"That's not what I mean," he said. "I just mean … you're the best." Unusually for Chirrut, he was struggling to express himself. He said, a little desperately, "The Force loves you." Baze's forehead creased. "The Force doesn't love anyone. That's not how the Force works." "I know, but – " Chirrut clutched his head. "I don't know how to say it. But the Force is with you." "The Force is with everyone." "It's with you specially," said Chirrut.

14. Recommend your favorite fic.

I could no sooner pick a star in the etc etc. I've done dc comics and mdzs fics before so here's a couple of old fics that were really formative for me.

Victory Condition by Astolat. Fandom: Transformers

This fic is actually a great one to introduce people to the concept of fanfiction with, a topic I'm happy to get into more, but basically you don't need to be fannish about transformers or know anything about it other than, you know, the cultural osmosis (i know this because i've never seen transformers). And then it does a really political plot with robot sex in the middle. It's a crowd pleaser.

What happens when it turns out your greatest enemy also wrote the poetry that inspires your survival?

“Survival isn’t the best measure of a life,” Optimus said. “It’s a fairly necessary precondition for all the others,” Megatron said.

Pre-Existing Condition by Helenish. Fandom: Die Hard

So in Die Hard four John McClane takes a hacker twink under his wing and it spawned way better fic than it should have.

In this fic John puts Matt under his domestic partnership benefits so he can get coverage for the rehab he needs for his knee after doing heroics. Extremely American premise. And it's theeee pinnacle of yearning it's unreal I re-read this fic regularly just to feel things. You ever read a narrator so unreliable you want to roll around in their mind forever and ever?

“Okay, okay,” Matt says. “I’m not used to, uh, it’s weirder than I thought, to have to lie about it.” “Just think about it like health care is a basic human right, so you’re not—“ “Whoa,“ Matt says, stiffening in surprise next to him, his head jerking sideways. “—really even lying,” John finishes. They’re stopped at a light, and Matt’s staring at him, his mouth a little open. “This is a lot to take in right now,” he says. “So is it that you think I’m dumb,” John says conversationally, shifting into gear as the light turns, “or that I’m some asshole in a suit who thinks if a guy’s kid gets cancer, he should just lose his house?” “No—I don’t think, uh, neither of those,” Matt says. “Holy shit, is that what you think?” “What am I supposed to think?” “You’re supposed to think it’s just a little weird for me when people call you my partner,” Matt says. “That’s all.”

if anyone else wants to send them in meme is here (fr ex if someone asked about a trope i could talk more than anyone wanted about bio bdsm aus)

Is The Witcher as Slavic as many claim?

Listen to what the author of the books says (minute 4:37-5:37)

Transcript

Interviewer: I was wondering if there's a Polish myth that you find particularly compelling and that you would like to tell us about?

Sapkowski: I don't think so. I've never, just not even the Polish but the Slavic mythology, for me it was just the same. It was Brothers Grimm, or Andersen, or America and the Six Nations, no difference. I'm not connected to any kind of mythology. Any kind of mythology is not influencing me to this extent that I consider it deeper (?). It's absolutely not the way.

(please correct me if there is a mistake in the transcript, some parts are a bit difficult to understand)

Maybe the strong focus on Slavic mythology and culture is more in the games than in the novels?

[chubsette]

Have you ever seen The Witcher? If so, what do you think of Jaskier, the bard? Isn't he chubby coded? :D

[Transcript]

I saw like 2 episodes of The Witcher back in 2019 and then I just kind of dropped it haha. I remember thinking Jaskier was cute, I can tell you that! But I can't recall much else about him, sorry! Maybe I'll give the show another try and then I'll give you my veridict on chubby Jaskier

There’s been a lot of talk of book accuracy in adaptation.

Here I am with the Whiskey with Witcher crew imagining how the The Witcher Netflix episode would go that featured Triss Merigold’s arc during Yarpen’s caravan.

Warning : we are very serious and mature adults.

@nicestmeangirl

Transcript:

Tim (off camera): todays episode is very important. You have explosive diarrhea. You gotta make it believable.

Des: You are a gorgeous, beautiful girl with adorable brown eyes and freckles, and also, you have explosive diarrhea. Congratulations.

Valerie: That’s honoring the source material.

Tim: (off camera)Yes.

Des: Source. Materialbitch.

Valerie: Source material can never change.

Des: Never. Never.

Valerie: It can do no wrong.

Des: book accurate. Book accurate diarrhea. Book accurate… (dissolves into unintelligible nonsense)

[dark-bear-productions]

I am conflicted about trigger warnings.

One the one hand, it's important for people who don't feel comfortable consuming certain content to know what they're getting into. To know that they're safe.

On the other hand, listing the things that are gonna come up can spoil the story (either by revealing a certain thing will be happening or revealing that it won't) and -- worse -- can be ineffective or even increase stress.

The one thing I stand by, though, is that people should be able to get them if they want them.

Thus, for From the Bay of Fangs -- a pretty bloody and often horrifying monster hunter anthology à la Witcher-meets-Lovecraft with a lot of characters that aren't cishet white men -- I struck a balance.

The episodes themselves don't feature trigger warnings, so that those who don't want them won't get them. However, those who do want them may find them easily by unfolding the episode description on Spotify, YouTube, what have you. To ensure that people can check the content warning without getting spoilers, I describe the themes I touch on, but not specifics.

This may not be perfect, but it's the best compromise I've been able to come up with.

Now the struggle is: my website features the transcripts of my episodes, but also lore, art and additional stories, all in a sort of semi-pseudo-diegetic way. I haven't been able to figure out how to include content warnings there without disrupting the fabric of the website.

I'm open to suggestions.

#16 for the writer questions!

After rifling through my folders I have decided the answer is properly working on four with a fifth that I really enjoyed rereading yesterday.

In order of how Consumed With Them I am...

Princess' Son/Your Eyes Aren't Rivers There To Weep (The Witcher, Renfri's son!Jaskier; very consumed but very little progress)

Alianora!Eleanor (The Sandman; survived my initial burst of productivity, so actually stands a chance of getting finished)

And They Were Fishbowl Roommates (The Sandman, Hob and Dream together; is still technically in the initial burst of obsession so it could still fail but it's been a few days so it might survive)

Giles!Hob (B:tVS/Sandman; doing one of those things where I'm wrapping it pretty closely around the skeleton of the show (Buffy) so it's slow going as I check transcripts and decide what changes to make)

Sandman Portal AU (Sandman/Portal; not consuming me but I had enough fun rereading it to want to go back to it)

Mmmmmmm let's expand on the Portal AU because it's the least likely to see the light of day anytime soon :P

Basically all of Aperture is the fishbowl/circle, and Hob deliberately volunteers for the testing program to mount a rescue mission after Jessamy went to come get him. In the current draft he's having some memory problems from the suspended animation, though. Dream is GLaDOS and has her lines pretty directly, but I'm also incorporating a plot point that Dream has to answer direct questions, in part just to make it easier on verbose protagonist Hob and in part as a thing Roderick programmed in to spite Dream for his years of silence.

I haven't actually planned the Portal 2 parts yet but I have done a fair bit of daydreaming, but I keep waffling on whether I want Wheatley to be Matthew. It seems like it would make a lot of sense, but I just. Can't make Matthew be evil/drunk with power, I just can't :( But like a whole bunch of my Portal 2 thoughts are just revolving around the crow's nest scene and how Jessamy would be so glad to see Dream relatively safe and coddling him and by then Hob has recovered his memories and laughs at him a little and Jessamy tags along with them as a companion throughout all Portal 2.

Oh!!!!!! And Dream's body is still being held in Old!Aperture in the fishbowl and so that's on Jessamy and Hob's agendas and I haven't decided yet if they should be open with GLaDOS!Dream or if the poor potato-guy gets left in the dark.
