🤷‍♀️ it's from Witcher

For example?

She cast a spell with her foot. Her magic level was greater than all the sorceresses shown here. She did not exchange the flower for power. She has always had it. This Yen is very much a caricature of the original.

Woke is good! I only read the first three books of the Witcher and Yennefer was patronised and discriminated for being a woman and for being polyamorous in a mononormative world (by Geralt and Istred among others). Geralt also promisses to never save a girl from rp again because the girl who had just escaped rp throws up instead of batting her lashes at him? WTF? There are so many problematic things about the books I can't begin to list them all. Some of Ciri's badass scenes were actually Geralt's in the book. That's boring and disappointing, the men doing 95% of the badass work and the women being there only to support and want men in bed. I'll give Yennefer that she had ATTITUDE in the books, which was a delight, but are there more badass scenes beyond book 3? Because there were far too few in the first three books and I'm glad the showrunners saw beyond the misogyny of the books.

@@aranystudio First of all, you managed to cram one comment with every "woke" keyword a vocabulary has to offer. You are not writing a CV, that's gonna be proofed by an AI to qualify, so relax. Secondly, let me adress what you wrote about step by step. Also, I will ignore the possible differences in the translation of the books ( I read it in Polish and I don't know which words were used to describe what happened in English). 1. Geralt-Yennefer-Istred. No discrimination, no patronising. Not from Geralt and Istred anyway. You are using words where they don't belong. The sorceresses in the books were promiscoues and some of them would sleep with women. Some people would judge such promiscuousness, some wouldn't care. Because people had different views, you know? Like people do sometimes. Geralt and Istred were in love with Yennefer and didn't want to share her with anyone else. Yennefer too would get angry every time she heard about any of the witcher's other love affairs. They are even in that regard. Geralt and Istred had every right to demand monogamy from Yennefer and she had every right to deny them both anything. What happened - happened. She made her choice. 2. Have you ever been depressed? Maybe questioning your life's choices? Your principles, your views and your place and role in this world? If so, then Geralt's crysis, during which he was recalling the rescue of the rped girl, shouldn't be such a shock to you. He never said "i should never help another rped girl ever again", he said something along the lines of "I am not getting involved into any of society's shit ever again". The case with the girl was the very first of many many many more situations he kept getting involved in. 3. The book is called "the Witcher" for gods sake. Not "Ciri", not "The Sourceress". He is a 70+ year old mutant, the strongest of his kind and Ciri is a 13 to 16 year old girl, who barely controls her magic. Who do you think would pull off more badass stuff? She is given as many killing scenes as a 16yo would, I suppose. Also Ciri is made out to be the center of Geralt's story anyway, so I don't really understand your point on this. Yennefer? She is described as very powerful and independent and has enough badass scenes in the books for someone, whom the books ARE NOT ABOUT. You say "they saw beyond the misogyny of the books", I say "you are promoting misondry, justifying it with lack of good female stories". This is a very communist thing to do, mind you: "let's take down the ones who have more, because we don't want to do more ourselves". Just get off your ass (not you specifically, but ppl who work in this field or are not happy with it) and create new compelling stories. Stop using "male driven stories" (Geralt's in this case) as a trampoline for female characters. Well written characters can stand on their own they don't have to feed off the success of the others. And before you start accusing me of probably being a white male, I should warn you - yes, I am. I am also gay and I LOVE a good badass female character. I just don't buy into hypocracy of "let's lift a woman, but we can only do it by downputting a man".

Absolutely!!! 😭😭😭 We are fighting every day!

💜💜💜

The edit is a pamphlet, ofc. I also believe that if Kaz wasn't jelous of people who get to be phisically close to Inej, he wouldn't feel threatened by Tolya. As for book Inej only wanting Kaz, though I agree that she seems written that way (provided Kaz rises up to her expectations), I think that it's mononormative to think that she could never fall for Tolya, because of Kaz. In a society that didn't raise people to believe that being with solely one person is the only posdible form of relationship, Inej could be with more than one person. Not to mention that even if she were in a monogamous relationship with Kaz, she could still fall for other people, but choose to not act on her feelings. That's how things are, tbh, for a lot of monogamous people.

I can understand why 💜

🥰🥰🥰

Luckaly they removed that passage from the series.

Forever 😭

😜😂

We are fighting to get it back!

🤝 the entire fandom be like 😭😭😭

I like show Yennefer better tbh and I though the source material was misogynistic... 🤷‍♀️

wait they had the third season WRITTEN OUT? and they STILL didn’t produce it? 😭 netflix wtf #bringbackshadowandbone we at least need the six of crows spin-off

@@onceuponahair20 YEAH ITS HORRIBLE! All we can do is sign the petition and promote it on social media so let’s spread the word!

Louder for Netflix in the back! 📢

Thry are too sweet! 🥰🥰🥰

😂😭

Me too 💜💜💜

The Wraith would gladly haunt the dam 😜

@@aranystudio OMG ILY FOR THAT 🫶

For me, the worst part is the "burning a nilfgard army" with just "chaos" lol

@@pablosebasthian Don't remind me about it, god damn it.

I found the original disgusting, so I'll take the fanfic any day

@@aranystudio an indian princess yennefer dressed at H&M swinging a sword. PEAK writing and cinematography.

Much welcome 😈

Agreed 💯 but I'd still love Nikolai in a throuple 😏🔥 also Paddy was pitch perfect!

I watch it for her 😭😭😭

😏😁

No Inferni can beat our queen!

Tolya appears in Rule of Wolves, where he is also confirmed as aroace. The "interest in Inej" was a show addition

Nikolai would bow to his insufferability 😂

Inaz 😜

Never finished what? Shadow and Bone was the name of the first trilogy in the Grishaverse, then came the Six of Crows duology. The show combined these two.

@@aranystudio I never finished the show because I watched it before I read six of crows and had no idea who the new characters were, so I thought the show just made them all up and I don’t like when the adaptations make their own random unnecessary stuff. So I thought it was just a bad show and didn’t finish it.

@@BookloversPQB4 But you've heard of Six of Crows from somewhere else? It's a really good duology (my top 1 book of all time actually), so I'd definitely encourage reading it and then finishing the show. 🥰🥰

@@criss9607 I am reading it, I’m on chapter 8

I'm so glad to hear it 😍😍😍 the characters inspired me like no other 🥰

The Witcher

The Witcher

You mean the show? She fought once with swords or smth? I'm only at book three, but I liked that she had more power scenes in the show.

@@aranystudio She did in the show, multiple times which is completely out of her character. These "power scenes" are just fan service, Yennefer is a very powerful enchantress but she is in no way some super magician in the books. Also, Anya Charlotta was a pathetic cast, simply because she had no chemistry with Freya Allen as a mother-daughter dynamic Not to mention, they made her beseech Geralt for affection. In truth, Yen would never deign to act like some teenage girl around Geralt, she'd just never do that. It's Geralt that constnatly fucks up their relationship with his self-conflictions

@@subutaynoyan5372 I don't know all the books, but one thing I noticed in the first three was that they were very misogynistic, so why wouldn't Yennefer be a powerful magician? Are there none in the books? As for seeking out Geralt for affection and forgiveness and all that bull, I disliked that too, you are right. Personally, I loved Anya Chalotra and chemistry is a two way street, so I'd still choose her as Yennefer, but I don't know how the mother-daughter chemistry is in the books. I interpreted it as being part of her character to be a harsher mother and I felt that making her arc about wanting to be a mother above all else was narrow minded of Sapowski. I feel it's that male desire to "tame" powerful women.

@@criss9607 Misogynistic? It's one of the most feministic things written in mainstreamish literature. Sapkowski isn't American or Western European, so he'll not try to check some marks to not be misogynistic in your eyes. Yennefer is super dominant, an unyielding, intelligent character in the books. She has a very superior demeanor particularly to Geralt, Geralt is the one who's going all dumb and coy to get along with her, because usually, Geralt is a socially impaired dumbass who can't choose right words and react things in meaningful proportion. Yennefer's desire to be a mother before all else is something the show focused on too much, when Geralt meets her in the book, her main idea is to tame a djin, curing her womb is just something she wants, because the main theme in the books about both Yen's, and Geralt's existential crisis is that they are bereft of a chance to pass their legacy into something that will surpass them. It's not just "IMMA MOTHER" thing, Yen's basically the same Yen after Ciri too, you're just identifying "strong woman" with neoliberal ideas about being alone, doing everything on her own etc. And Yen's not harsh, she's just disciplined. Being a witch or witcher in the books is a terrifyingly tough thing. Geralt's training is extreme in the book, Triss was aghast when she found Ciri's whole body black and bruised by perpetual beatings, falls and inuries

She's amazing 😈

Even the artist knew he was distant

me 2

The best character in the Witcher! I'm glad they realised that in the show!

Yes!!!

Hope he knows it 😏

Matthias is behind bars, be my guest to figure out the rest

I believe Matthias is stuck behind the window and inej is holding a dagger, but idk bout the rest

Hot, bi and a mess, just like I love them 😜

Vital reminder when working for Mr. My mom was and oyster and I'm the pearl 😜

I hope they grow wise and when they'll continue the series, they'll be all together (and Zoya too)

@@aranystudio PLEASEEEEE, i hated season 2, I need them to right their wrong😭💔

@@4rtsyval Absolutely, they should give us polyamory already! 😭😭

They'd burn down the Grishaverse and we'd be here for it 😂🔥

Kissy wissy 😚😚

And if Alina loves you more than Inej, the circle of fangirling is complete

It was trying to make it sound like "Yes, We!"

Maybe Kaz should have delivered the comming speech sooner 😏
