cirisfiona:
uplifting story of a boy and a horse named roach
OK the other night it suddenly struck me
Geralt is like a hundred and three years old by the end of this show timeline
we first meet Roach something like fifty years before that
horses live like… 20, 25 years max, and for the last of those you wouldn’t be riding around the wilderness and neither would you for the first of those (in the real world, not racing, you wouldn’t have a horse doing hard work until it was three or four, and you’d retire a 20-year-old probably)
WHAT TF IS ROACH
ROACH IS NOT A HORSE
Roach is, at best, a series of horses. at worst, something entirely other that is completely unaddressed.
(although. even in these gifs. look at the stripe/blaze marking on her face. it is not the same in all the pictures. The one in the middle, there’s more of a triangle at the top. so i think he’s just sort of creepily pretending that a series of animals is the same individual, to cope with his unnatural lifespan, but take comfort: a normal mortal human would have to do the same.)
