“And all those years I was miserable was for nothing.”
I was listening to The Witcher soundtrack and was attacked by unsolicited sudden feels...
"Her sweet kiss" has instrumental version called "EVERYTIME YOU LEAVE" and nobody told me
You know what makes Her Sweet Kiss the absolute worst?? This from the interactive map:
It’s one of Jaskier’s most famous ballads, and not only that, but people know it’s about Geralt and Yennefer’s romance. Which! Means! That there should only be two sets of pronouns in that song. Something like the third person and second person.
But no, it has that and the first person. So, because it’s one of Jaskier’s songs, it’s absolutely canon that Jaskier is the first person, Yennefer is her, and Geralt is you.
Do the people also realise that Jaskier is calling Geralt his love? Who knows? It seems wild that they wouldn’t know or realise. Maybe when Jaskier plays the song, there are whispers: “Oh, I heard that this song is about his love for the witcher.” “Heard that too, shame the poor boy can’t let go.” “Yeah, I noticed the tears in his eyes, poor lad.”
It certainly seems, with all the evidence, that Jaskier being in love with Geralt, and it being unrequited, is gonna be canon…

one of my favorite (read: least favorite) things about how people treat cleopatra is she’s so often called a slut or is only ever portrayed as being this incredibly sexy, often scantily-clad seductress, when in actuality 1. while some ancient sources describe her as somewhat pretty, it generally seems that what was attractive about her was her intellect, charm, and voice, and the sources that refer to her as extremely sexy/slutty are specifically out to condem her, 2. she was a brilliant politician who chose her affairs as a way of securing power for her country and not just so she could have a bunch of sex (which shouldn’t be an issue anyway), and 3. one of the men she had an affair with was mark antony, ancient roman super slut supreme, a man known for his love of sex and tendency to wear extremely short tunics for the sake of showing off his sexy legs/probably also his dick
i’m not saying there’s anything wrong with portraying cleopatra as beautiful or even sexy, because she clearly had allure. all i’m saying is that, if your cleopatra is wearing less clothing than your mark antony, there’s probably a problem in your depiction of them
history fucked me up
oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built
