Some of yall really misunderstand the dynamic between Geralt and Jaskier in fanfiction here… out here portraying Jaskier as some perpetual damsel in distress while Geralt is the big strong tough if emotionally-stunted saviour.
No, no. It’s all wrong. Jaskier is feral. Geralt is tired. Did y'all watch the show?? Read a single chapter of the books??? Played an hour of the games???
Think of that djinn scene. Y'all know the one. “Your voice is like a fillingless pie.” Here’s the thing: Geralt just wanted a nap. That’s it. Just some sleepy time. Mans couldn’t sleep. Good night. Jaskier wanted his ex to come crawling back to him while the man she left him for dropped dead from sudden-onset apoplexy without even stuttering. Geralt is the “Butcher of Blaviken.” Jaskier is named after a flower.
Now think of the entirety of Butchers and Banquets. Did we watch the same episode? Geralt just wanted to sit in the back and let it go by as a favour for his barker who wouldn’t shut his daft ass up begging him for it until he finally gave in anyway. Jaskier couldn’t get 2 minutes into it before a member of the royal family cornered him and threatened his life because Jaskier physically could not stop himself from sleeping with his wife. Feral.
If I read one more fic where Jaskier stutters and retreats into himself for any reason because he’s 90 pounds soaking wet and apparently all us twinky stick men Must Be Shy I will, as another Certified Feral Twinky Stick Man, supercut a feral Jaskier compilation and sit y'all down in front of it with popcorn because it’s just the entirety of his screen time. Geralt cold clocked him directly in the dick in his introductory episode to get him to go away and he just got right back up with a smile on his face. I’d be more scared of Jaskier than I would be of Geralt because at least Witchers only do the things they’re paid to do, and with Geralt he always examines it through morality, but Jaskier wouldn’t hesitate to fucking kill me if I crossed him no matter what the moral implications were
