It was really the same feeling as watching the first ~15 minutes of The Last Jedi and going, “… did they hire B to write this?” before it all went downhill.

OMGGGG i’m just glad there wasn’t a moment like when in my thing I’d had Poe be like “and everyone thinks I’m a spice runner because racism!” and everyone in the story being horrified and then

they made him a spice runner in TLJ

i don’t think i will ever recover from that.

like, i’m not good at not being racist, I am a fumbling buffoon raised absolutely steeping in this racist society and I just do my best where I can, right, and even I was like “oh man it’d be really fucked up if–”

and then they did that, a multibillion-dollar company with presumable access to any sensitivity readers they could ever want

I have officially seen all of S2 of the Witcher, and while about 25% of it is bafflingly irritating to me (WHYY) and a further like 20% is just confusing to me (elf piss anon???) and an additional 5% of it is like actively wildly upsetting (SCREECH and yeah no they don’t really get a free pass on racism either BOy hoWDY), probably the full remaining 50% was delightful, so Witcher has officially passed the tests that MCU and Star Wars failed, and I get to not only stick around but actually be able to enjoy the new fandom content.

I was just going through my blog from two years ago when I first got into this fandom and I still feel good about it in the same ways, so.

I have avoided discussing spoilers so far on this blog, for selfish reasons, because I hadn’t seen the whole thing, but I finally did last week so I will probably start talking about things soon and forgetting to tag. Please care for yourselves and all, I know it’s crazy how fast people start posting spoilers but I’m just not a person who cares about spoilers and I just don’t have the space in my head to hold for that for much longer. So. Soon I’ll maybe talk about the things I loved and hated specifically in this season and I’ll probably just have the regular “the witcher” tag on it– but I also feel like if you’re a person who cares about spoilers and wants to watch this thing you probably have done so.
