It’s strange to see Jaskier like this. Not just dressed in fine clothes, but dressed as a royalty. It punches the breath out of Geralt’s lungs, firmly draws the line between him and Jaskier, once and for all.
Because Geralt is but a witcher, and Jaskier is now a prince.
What they shared in the past matters no longer. That kiss in the rain that lit him up like a beacon inside, it will remain a memory, a dream.But Jaskier approaches him, takes his hand, brings his knuckles up to his lips.
“What a scandal we’ll be, Witcher Mine.”

My favourite things about the whole OceanGate disaster, in no particular order
- That the vessel was originally named Cyclops II but the CEO renamed it to Titan, so it’s even BETTER than the Titanic
- He also called it indestructible
- The guy piloting the vessel is an ex-naval captain who has been on several titanic manned trips. But the guy is 77 rn
- The billionaire from Pakistan is apparently friends with King Charles. You’d think for someone who’s besties with a guy whose job was literally being born, he’d care more about protecting his bloodline. Instead, he brought his 19 year old with him
- Meanwhile, the stepson of one of the other billionaires (I think the British one named Hamish) went to a Blink 182 concert. When questioned about this, he basically went “my family would want me to go to the concert”. Today, minutes after posting about asking for thoughts and prayers, he @‘ed an OF model on Twitter, asking her to sit on his face
- Bc it’s part of the safety demo & music track list for the trip, there is a VERY good chance that if there’s still some power left in the sub, it’s playing an instrumental of My Heart Will Go On on loop
- Also, the vessel is a submersible bc it doesn’t meet literally any of the safety regulations to be called a submarine. Which the CEO knew, because he’s blatantly said that safety regulations get in the way of progress
- The CEO once stated that he thought the future of humanity was not in space, but in the ocean when the surface becomes uninhabitable
- Apparently the controller he’s using has REAL bad reviews because the connection always fails
- These idiots paid $250k EACH but they had to pack their own lunch. Not even a damn charcuterie board
- The pilot’s seat is on the toilet. So whenever someone needs to go, the pilot needs to move
- There’s 1 window looking out. That’s it
- It’s about the size of a minivan
- The sub uses texts (but only to the CEO’s phone) to communicate, as well as StarLink, but they can only access that if they surface
- The door literally cannot be opened from inside
- There is a decent chance that at least 1 person has been cannibalized (my bet was the pilot since he’s not rich, but bc of the banging sounds, he’s probs not dead, so it may be the CEO)
- They’re supposed to run out of oxygen tomorrow (22/06/23) at 7 am est, but tbh, the CO2 scrubber system will probs fail before that
- The toilet is a plastic bag
- This is only the 3rd time in 3 years the vessel has gone to the Titanic. Every other time, there’s an issue and they gotta turn back within like 4 hours
- A lot of major news networks are trying to remain positive, but it’s a HILARIOUS comparison when you go to social media and every single person is like “yeah that shit is built like a cardboard boat, they’re fucked”
- The company’s name is literally called OceanGate
I understand the appeal of unrequited Royjamie because obviously Jamie is very wet and pathetic and nobody wants him etc but I also don’t really get it because Roy is OBSESSED with Jamie. Like insanely insanely obsessed. He fucked his ex-girlfriend, he tried to fuck his mom, he went out of his way to create a situation that would allow him to spend hours alone with him every day, he watched his TV show almost the entire time they were apart, he’s fixated on his genitals, he ended his career overextending himself to tackle him, etc etc etc etc…. He’s CRAZY
Roy, yelling more profusely and sadistically than normal
Isaac: what crawled up his arse and died there?
Dani: maybe he is cranky because he hasnt been sleeping
Colin: no, no he has a very strict sleep schedule. I once texted him at 8pm and he didn’t answer for two days
Jan: he needs to have sex
Everyone: what the hell jan maas
Jan: it is statistically proven that lack of intimacy results in irritable mood and coach kent has not been intimate with anyone since keeley
(Colin: how do you know that)
Jamie: i’ll do it
Everyone: what the hell jamie
Jamie: no, i’ll take one for the team yeah? I’ll have sex with coach
Sam: literally no one is asking you to do this
Jamie: I’ll be the sacred fish or lamb. For all of our sakes
Everyone: the what
