From The Amazing Devil’s Instagram, June 28 ‘26

I can't believe she's turning 10.

Keeper of my tears and fears and occasional tomfoolery...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE RUN!!!

ten years of letting the world come at you, love

ten years of your veins being empty of dust

ten years of knowing you bought your shoes from Oxfam

ten years of your hair looking better black

ten years of crying to that painted sky

ten years of a broken pot can still hold water

ten years of staring at the moon

ten years of it starting off like a pinprick, a trick of the light oil slick

ten years of showing the world we exist

The true guess 😅

This guy also has excellent threads on his Blusky and an inactive twitter (Sterling Archer of Riva) account about both the books and the show that really helped me look at them in a different light

These analyses are by the amazing @naumaxia-art Their videos really got me thinking and helped me formulate a few theories I have about season 5

That's really all I can find for now, if you have any suggestions, feel free to add them in the reblogs

For as much fan art and fic I can find of this fandom even though it's much smaller than it once was, it would be nice to find more non toxic video reviews and essays

Degerlund (queer — books)

Mislav & Florian (gay? — games)

Elihal (drag / gender-fluid coded — games)

I'd prefer canon characters, but I'm also open to more implicit examples as long as there's a genuine queer subtext behind them.

"He’s canonically queer in the TV show, which is a departure from the books and the games, as far as I know. It was wonderful to see a panromantic or pansexual person in such a flagship show such as this. There are shows that do explore sexuality and equally valued sexualities and identities but, from my reading, this is the first major one in a fantasy show. A big part of our conversations were working out, ‘What is the history of LGBTQ+ relationships within this world of dragons and other things?’ And so, that’s an ongoing conversation that I’m so excited to, not only share with the world in season three but with season four and five onwards, find out where Jaskier ends up."

Hugh Skinner also confirmed that Radovid is very much gay, the full quote is:

"I love an outsider. Part of the draw with The Witcher was to play a gay character in a big genre fantasy show with a big audience. It felt like a unique opportunity and one I couldn’t really say no to."
