Shouting this at all the tumblr porn bots that have been following me

vesemir: see back when I was a slut, fucking my way through the continent

Roche: Look, I know you think my judgement’s clouded because I like Iorveth a little bit.

Coën: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be?

Ves: You are a spineless twit!

reading the witcher books after watching the netflix series is such a slap to the face (positive) mostly because of how much sweeter geralt is to everyone but also just because of. everything. I’m mostly talking about how he treats dandelion (jaskier) because the show did them dirty

Andrzej Sapkowski: Includes an extended argument for women’s bodily autonomy. Writes multiple female leaders.  Writes women who enjoy their sexuality, writes lesbian relationships. Writes a significant portion of his narrative from the pov of a teenage girl and does it well. Describes viscerally the horror of being threatened with sexual violence as that teenage girl. Writes a male lead who is approximately five hundred miles from stereotypical masculinity. Writes a bunch of men being told off by a woman for not taking into account that a teenage girl is physically affected by her period. Writes a mother-daughter bond that is beautiful and more important than anything else in the narrative. Writes a female warrior who chooses to have a child conceived in a brief affair, but miscarries, and writes men who care and support her through it. Writes complex, interesting, morally grey, powerful, emotionally intelligent female characters.
