op this is good commentary but I’m mostly just captivated by how you drew the kid as a teeny little grub with a propeller hat
i know most of the "jaskier is super powerful secretly" content comes from netflix fans and there's nothing necessarily wrong with that kind of content. HOWEVER. it has always bothered me because there's an implication in those works that jaskier must be powerful to have value to both geralt and the narrative, which goes directly against the message the books go out of their way to nail into you every 5 seconds and that is that jaskier is incredibly useless in most ways and even sometimes a hindrance but geralt keeps him around because he values and cares for him so much that jaskier being with him makes geralt's life more tolerable
i keep talking about this but TWN completely failed with Geralt's characterization (and eveyome elses pretty much but he is the main character. come on) by making him so? normal. Book (and game) Geralt is so quirky. He is bitter and sarcastic, yes, but he also bought an ugly jacket and was embarrasses when Dandelion didn't like it. He told Avallach to draw dicks on the cave paintings. I can't imagine netflix Geralt even telling a joke (or telling any of his friends he loves them or sharing a bed with Dandelion or spending any time with him, actually). Geralt fascinates me so much because while his main motives are Yennefer and Ciri, he can also do ANYTHING to achieve his goal, and goof around in the mean time. He is such a multidimensional character. In-universe he is expected to be this blank canvas, a professional, an empty skull in Istredd's words, when in reality he is so much more than anyone expects him to be. To the reader, his inner turmoil makes him seem far more emotional than the people calling him an emotionless mutant. idk im!! im ill about him!!!
my tablet is still broken, but I had these Geralt/Dandelion feels lately, so I’m returning to the roots of this sideblog with messy sketches

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
"what but I love neurodivergent people" yeah until they're fat, unconventionally attractive, visibly disabled, or show any actual symptoms of neurodivergency like not understanding social cues, having poor volume control, make small talk even if youre not interested, make noises on public transport, seriously misinterpret something you've said, need you to rephrase something, don't understand how to do something and need you to explain multiple times before they get it, or inconvenience you even slightly.
like sure you reblog stimboards and autism positivity posts and know the words executive function but if you walked into a room full of neurodiverse would you be able to last a minute with all the contradicting needs without mocking someone on your blog about how "some people just have no manners" or whatever
Or till they need a 24/7 carer. Till they need help bathing, going to the bathroom, dressing, eating. Till they don't talk. Till they have ugly meltdowns. Till they have an intellectual disability. Till they can only eat very specific foods. Till they can't leave their house. Till they communicate in a non conventional way. Till theyre high support.
