#there was only one bathtub

[quona]

is it so wrong of me to want all three seasons of The Witcher to be re-shot to focus solely on Geralt and Jaskier?

and also for it to be significantly gayer???

i just want monster-of-the-week with Geralt and Jaskier plodding around the Continent bitching at each other like an old married couple and giving each other sponge baths with maximum sexual tension, thanks. i mean plot is cool or whatever, but i could take it or leave it.

i'm gonna have to do some Geraskier fanart soon to assuage my yearning, clearly

back on the horse and clasping my hands with my eyes shut begging the universe to please let me get what I want because most everyone in my life could tell you that I never ask for anything, ignoring that the queue for Cheye's Wishes is still processing and rejecting 500 billion "can my imaginary boyfriend please come to life" requests first

Hi!

I may be completely wrong here and I’m not trying to say Style is dumb at all. I’ve just seen people theorising about what it means that he saw Keen before then didn’t say anything in the bathroom and have a boring theory.

Like for example is it possible he simply forgot or forgot in the moment for a variety of reasons (maybe even him being tipsy at the time?). Or maybe didn’t think it was important at the time? They may revisit this and reveal something or have him finally make the connection later on but that’s my boring theory against the he’s up to something one’s.

I’ve just completely forgotten who people are before so would understand if it really wasn’t deeper than that but I still appreciate the theorising going on. I will wait to see what the show does next.

(Oh also looking forward to your next meta but hope you pace yourself and rest before finishing it.)

yeah i'm so super mad at myself for completely forgetting that style had seen keen before when i was writing my ep7 meta!! i could have been thinking about this a week ago!! also, how embarrassing for me to forget about this when i've literally made being a style expert my sole personality for the past 7 weeks. i can't believe this smh....

but yeah, i have absolutely no idea. i can really see this go multiple way. either style knows something and was protecting keen on purpose

or maybe he honestly did forget, especially considering with how tipsy he was. i mean, the guy was close to falling asleep right there at the urinal, i wouldn't trust his brain to function normally at that point and to immediately remember a guy he saw once quite a while ago

i wanna go back to that scene and re-write that part of my meta but i think i'll wait and see where this is going first so that i have full context for it. for now we'll just have to wait and see, i guess

diamond dogs sleepover, teenage girls style. i'm talking full squad, sleeping bags, pajamas, snacks, gossip, ill-advised shenanigans possibly involving trespassing and a bathtub, talking about crushes,

What is the one decision made in a video game's narrative that, no matter how many times you see it/remember it, you immediately go 'You STUPID motherfucker, why are you like this?!?!?'

For me, it's Gregory's death in What Remains of Edith Finch.

decided to start using a cricket ambient noise in my room all the time hoping it'll make the actual crickets think there are already many horrible crickets in my room so they'll stop coming in here to ruin my life

I've been thinking a lot about magic healing today.

Like I can't stop thinking about how much truly incredible medical knowledge (specifically what we now think of as folk medicine, or like... battlefield surgery) is rendered pretty much completely obsolete by the existence of people who can mend bones with a thought. About how rare it must be for someone to actually know about how a body functions, when among most adventuring types, there's... actually little practical use for such knowledge, with little motivation beyond curiosity to figure it out.

Like of course, I'm sure there are many settings in which those with magical talent are few and far between. I'm sure there are low-magic settings where having access to magical healing is rare, and/or comes at a prohibitively high price for most commoners. But I can't help but think that... in worlds where healing spells and broad-spectrum healing potions are found in the stock of pretty much every merchant and every thug's inventory, ready to be looted, the work of midwives, village wise-women, herbalists, field medics, surgeons, and a thousand other professions is made pretty much completely irrelevant to so many people, simply because clerics, paladins, druids and such, are able to just.... wave a hand, and eradicate diseases, mend bones, transfuse blood, restore limbs, and sometimes even raise the dead.

Being medically knowledgeable on top of being magically adept would probably not only be rare as hell (hello, Halsin), it'd also take a lot of dedication, and a lot of respect for the body and the natural way of things that... I don't know how many even among the best magical healers would actually have.

I'd imagine that many who usually have steady access to a healer don't actually know jack shit about their own health, and... maybe even those who rely on magic to heal, don't actually know what they're doing all that often.

Idk. I'm just rotating this thought in my head today.

Man, I absolutely love the worldbuilding in this podcast. The guise of an alien god who, upon being cut off from said god, completely forgets it was anything but a mask? What does the puppet do, once it loses its puppeteer?

Like a lost child indeed….
