I’m also stuck on a sex scene (ugh, choreography, man) so that may be why my brain immediately decided it would love to read Jaskier ask Geralt about when he lost his virginity? Or his first kiss?

Ooh that’s such a good idea! Except that my headcanon is that both were probably Eskel and it’s a plot point later that Jaskier had not expected Geralt would Do Guys, so if I do it, Geralt’s got to be evasive. Of course, Jaskier could carelessly ask about Geralt’s first woman, or somesuch, which would both show off his assumption and also let Geralt avoid the subtext, there. Hmmmm….

big eyes emoji at that snippet, and for a question maybe “whens your birthday?”

Oh that could be fun. Geralt has earlier in this actual chapter revealed that he doesn’t know it, though Jaskier wasn’t present for that conversation.

Part of me wants the question to be SUPER IMPORTANT, but also, part of me wants the question to be something almost silly and lighthearted, until you think about it. Like, what’s your favorite sweet treat, or your favorite color, and then Geralt can have FEELINGS and OVERTHINKING.

Yeah– I think I had planned on it being something SUPER IMPORTANT but all the important things I can think of seem… too… much? You might be onto something– Geralt’s all braced to tell him no and he’s like “what’s your favorite color?” They’ve already had a conversation about his favorite food, in the past, and the ice cream is tentatively a plot point for the end of this chapter if I ever get there, but something like color– I don’t know that Geralt would get the question, at first! That could be super illuminating.

First off, there are only so many characters in this series so I can’t believe I’m struggling with that snippet but I am??? I feel like I have to say Triss &…Eskel? Except the ‘fondly’ is throwing me off! (Also I think my desire for that to be a ship might be influencing me). Obviously, I’ve no idea what Jaskier was going to ask about Geralt’s life, but I feel like maybe a question about why Jaskier is in it/why Geralt puts up with him (from Jaskier’s perspective)(½)

ah your part 2 is very nice, thank you. Hmmm… I could have Jaskier ask something existential like that!!

These are all fantastic ideas. Triss and Eskel, however, are only at the part where Triss has just this moment wandered in on Eskel baking bread in the kitchen in only a shirt and is like uhh I assumed those shoulders were all the padding in his gambeson but They Are Not and now I don’t know what this feeling is in my pants, I did not come here for this how dare u.

The snippet is, in fact, Jaskier and Yennefer again, as they are the only people who seem to get laid in this series. This is 100% logistics, though, so far. Soon I will figure out more. And Triss will figure out why, though Eskel is nominally Not Her Type, she is still having those pantsfeelings. 

Oh man I have so many ideas now. HMMMMMMMMM I love you all.

listen i don’t have a single fucking clue what a cultivator is (in my experience it’s an agricultural tool??) but

let’s be real here i was hooked from the moment the silly pretty one slapped himself upon realizing he’d just been horribly cruel to his own nephew

and i was irrevocably hooked when they gave the one with a single facial expression (who, the first time you see him, in the opening sequence, is making a different facial expression and I think that’s the only time he does that in the whole show, that’s not fair) the Slow Mo Entrance for no reason

this shit is BONKERS and I can’t keep anyone’s names straight because they all have multiple names of course (like, i get how that works but it does Not Help) and I can’t square the way they’re spelled with how they’re pronounced

and like

why can they fly sometimes

that shit is weird

but I’m super hooked, so.

missbuster replied to your post “the untamed”

is this the chinese series with the wigs and the elf robes?

oh yes. occasionally i’ll be watching and i’ll be like huh, aesthetically, this is the silmarillion right here

lazaefair replied to your post “the untamed”

Ah, the joy of trying to render a non-latinate language in latinate symbols

yes ugh 

fortunately i have enough prior exposure from gifsets and shitposts that mostly i can keep people straight. and, as dude pointed out, they very kindly dress in themed uniforms by family, so that’s super polite of them.

ISN’T IT WEIRD BUT GOOD?

I mean. clearly, a lot of the weirdness is that it’s leaning on tropes I’m totally unfamiliar with, like how buddy cop shows all use the same camera angles and hallmark movies have the formulaic bit where you take the whole thing on faith as having been established somehow by sheer weight of expectation– clearly, there must be similar conventions in Chinese television dramas that I’m just not familiar with, so maybe the WILDLY SWINGING CAMERAS are just part of that, and so on.

And the fact that people fucking fly for no reason all the time, I have no idea if that’s like, just normal on Chinese TV or if that’s just for this show. 

but yes, it is deeply bizarre and also extremely compelling. I blame the Pretty People In Semi-Unconvincing Wigs. The Man With One Facial Expression Only is so pretty and really gets a lot of mileage out of the only facial expression they let him have (and most of that mileage is furious gay pining which I am so here for). And his brother, with the Square Righteous Jaw And Kind Eyes, he is also so lovely. And our doe-eyed mischievous protagonist whose names are the only ones I can remember because his family name is the same as that of a roommate of mine from college (why is his family name different from his siblings though do they explain that??? also it is only three letters and i am very stupid so three letters is what i can handle and as a bonus they are pronounced like they look like), he is also very beautiful. And I only just met Wen Qing but I want to cradle her adorable sticky-outy ears, she is so pretty. IDK why I can remember her name but I super can. Maybe because nobody seems to call her anything else and she’s one of like two women. She kind of pouts sometimes and that is all I want to look at in this world, thank you for being so pretty, nice lady from Evil World. Gosh I hope she has a nice time in this show.

(I know that she will not. I know that is the point of this show, literally nobody has a nice time in it. I have, after all, seen the gifsets. I was a little startled to see the dripping-blood-hand-off-a-cliff part so early, actually; I sort of figured that was a spoiler but no, this show takes no fucking prisoners, that is the opening scene. Okay then!)

Eskel: So, I heard you liked bad boys?
Triss: No, not really.
Eskel: Oh, thank the gods.

chase-prairie:

Celebrate the buzzy bees of North America with a selection from the 4,000 species who pollenate our continent.

Purchase a print of Native Bees of North America here!

Ah we had an agapostemon burrow at the farm near a tree where the kids play– their lil green heads would poke out– I made a tiny, tiny Please Don’t Step On The Bees sign so that nobody’d run them over or stand on them, and put a big red flag on it, and we did all kinds of research to figure out whose beautiful lil green heads we kept seeing poking out. They’re such good pollinators! They were there two or three years, I don’t know if they moved.

Food Safety and Coronavirus: A Comprehensive Guide:

This is an EXTREMELY comprehensive guide about food safety, virus safety, and eating in this time of trouble. 

It’s enormous and long and I’m still reading it but oh my gosh, it’s all in here.

I’m going to paste the URL separately for the sake of the crossposter and also sometimes Tumblr chokes on these special links posts:

Now’s the time to catch up on correspondence. Fortunately j just found a stash of note cards I bought at [profile] wnybookartscenter some years ago probably. My decades of hoarding are having their shining moment during this lockdown. I especially feel like those of you trying a crash-course in homeschooling might benefit from a note, so that’s who I’m focusing on this round. I’m gonna run out of stationery and have to get creative at some point, but for the mo, we on the gourmet hoarded stash.

As a lil treat we got takeout from [profile] shango_bistro including takeout wine which has never been a thing before and I recommend it fully. Support your local restaurants and all, etc, but I gotta say this was the highlight of my week. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (at Buffalo, New York)
