"My jokes are my amour" - I often feels like it applies very well to Jaskier.
His silly faces and attitudes hide the man who feels too much and hurts.

Joey Batey as Jaskier The Witcher: Blood Origin
reblog and put in the tags the real reason you joined tumblr no matter how horrible or embarrassing it is
the trouble is you never know which show is going to take over your life do you. you could just be innocently watching a show with no intention of being part of the fandom when suddenly boom you’re crying over fanmixes at 1am
Jaskier stickers are in the shop now! :) https://linktr.ee/deandrawsart
ok let’s start workshopping this!! ways they could address why Geralt is Liam Hemsworth now:
- he regenerates
- gets his face eaten by magical face eating slugs and has to get a new one
- plastic surgery
- time cut several years into the future & they try to pass off Hemsworth as an older Cavill
- Geralt has to go undercover, has someone transform his face into a different face
- have him wear a mask for the whole season
- put Hemsworth in elaborate make up to make him look like Cavill
- gets hit with curse of Hemsworth (turns u into a Hemsworth brother)
- that’s not Geralt, that’s his long lost brother, Gerald
- whole episode face/off reference
- Geralt gets killed so they transfer his consciousness into a cloned body provided by Garfield the Deals Warlock
- gets bitten by a Liam Hemsworth and transforms into one
- Geralt gets merged with an alternate version of himself from another dimension
- Geralt gets turned into a cardboard cut out and Jaskier has to reconstruct his face but he cocks it up so Geralt just has a new face now
- reveal that Geralt has actually been wearing a Henry Cavill mask this whole time & this is his real face
- witchers have shapeshifting powers but don’t use them
- Jaskier & only Jaskier keeps saying that Geralt looks kind of different, everyone else insists they have no idea what he’s talking about
- his face just does that
all excellent ideas & i’d also like to submit:
- he goes to drink a potion but WHOOPS he accidentally drank potion of turn ur face different
- someone tries to poison him but accidentally gives him Potion of Hemsworth
- makeover from Fantasy Queer Eye
- full continuity reboot (just, start the show again from the beginning w Hemsworth this time, hope he lasts more than 3 seasons)
- digitally edit Hemsworth into seasons 1-3 and pretend it was always like that
The entire framing, pace and aesthetic abruptly changes from the previous series, which is suddenly explained as occurring from Yennefer’s POV and being related as a story by Yennefer, an unreliable narrator, who it turns out has done a rather unexpectedly flattering portrayal of Geralt but has lost the thread by trying to explain too many EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PLOT THREADS.
In the new series Jaskier breaks the fourth wall and forcibly takes control of the narrative, and Geralt is portrayed from that point onwards in a tightly confined episodic series, this time as a different actor who is simultaneously hotter and far more bumbling. He is also shown as much shorter than Jaskier. Some events are the same, but the time jumps are more random and centred entirely around Jaskier’s character development; entire plot movements from Yennefer’s explanation are simply not noticed; this version also advances time farther and covers more ground. Unfortunately, by paying very little attention to politics, it falls completely apart because entire factions appear to the audience to be moving about without reason, the ending shatters and in the next series someone else (Ciri?) advances a few corrections of their own.
In Ciri’s series of corrections, Geralt is played by Rowan Atkinson in an unsettling wig, in a peculiar, sensitive exploration. Atkinson offers an angle on a Geralt that is deeply comical, comfortingly paternal, physically much older than the character is in everyone else’s eyes (as teens view people over 30 as being essentially walking corpses), and most importantly not sexy at all. The rating drops abruptly down in terms of sex, because Geralt is the least sexual person in the universe, but the violence escalates. This only lasts a few episodes before someone else talks over her, and the rest of the season is randomly carried by either David Tennant or, perhaps more hilariously, Jodie Whitaker, wearing a beard and refusing to explain herself. This is narrated by a familiar voice that later turns out to be a Geralt VA from the games. Interestingly, this parts of the series follows the beats of the video games and is episodic, a sort of “monster of the week” in which Jodie-in-a-beard is presented quite seriously and respectfully, but participates very little in the actual plot, which is shown to be a series of mechanisms perpetrated by everyone else and Jodie-in-a-beard is merely an engaged witness. The narrator also talks critically over the most incredible bombastic fight scenes. It turns out that Geralt is narrating this one: the version is shouted down in its turn for being far too boring, despite the visuals, because the narrator never describes the visuals.
I don’t really know much about the Witcher and I think I should write it.
I feel he is looking a little bit more like he is about to cry here. 🤧✌️ 30min watercolor study of the day! <3
