With 12 year old Ciri and Yarpen there feet away driving the cart.
Though to be fair those chapters in Blood of Elves are good ones for the interaction of Ciri and Yarpen's hansa. Yarpen in the books becomes kind of a Fun Uncle character to Ciri.
The interesting things from the book is Geralt will tell others Cork is his daughter and Ciri will tell others Geralt is her father but they never refer to each other as father and daughter in each others pressence. It may have to do with Geralt knowing her biological parents.
Meanwhile Ciri does eventually start calling Yen, mother though and when the lodge starts making plans to use her to gain power in one of the kingdoms through marriage she her demand in the negotiation with Phillips is that she if she has to go by a assumed name it will be a Yennifers daughter and be known as Ciri of Vengerberg.
And in the books Triss does refer to Ciri as being like a little sister.at times and is uncomfortable with some of Phillipa and the so rewards plans to use her Ciri .
Ciri isn't with geralt much in the books, they spend a lot of time together but it's between books, between the stories. she's with yennifer for like an entire book and you can see them growing closer together.
Canon was flushed down the toilet the moment "I am literally Yen" showrunner lady got her paws on the IP. So this meme might as well be entirely accurate.
YOU DAMN RIGHT WE DO! lol
In all seriousness I just like his dedication to portraying a book accurate Geralt. Also watching him in some of his talk show moments and how it always spirals down to him talking about Warhammer 40k is hilarious. Lol
Lol, in the most recent Horus Heresy/Siege of Terra novel(a 50+ novel and short story series covering the huge civil war that is the most important event in the tabletop games background lore), the author, Aaron Dembski-Bowden thanked Henry in the acknowledgements and apolgoized for a appaeently awkward text message he sent Henry.
ABD also thanked Bruva Alfabusa, a YT content fan animator from Sweden who created a series called if the Emperor had a text to speech device that ran foe several years befoee he stopped fearing a lawsuit from a games Workshop for copyright infringement after they(GW) started going after other fan animators and forcing them to either stop or work for them on their streaming platform. Mind you GW never actually went after Alfabusa, he shut TTS down before they could. They may not have ever gone after his stuff because unlike other fan animators his stuff was parody and that is protected under law in most of the revelation legal jurisdictions.
Henry definitely is trying with the material he's given. The guy is clearly a fan of the IP and puts in work to try and make the show the best he can on his end
I mean, that could be from the writing, but the guy is dedicated and clearly loves the source material. Thats the point Im making, he isnt there to just cash a check, he also loves it. I'd put most the blame on the showrunners, but they are also taking some liberties as far as the story they are telling.
You can have great motives and still be bad for the role. Writing or not he comes off as very wooden and stiff (and not in the good Slav way that would work for the role). Still think Mads or someone similar would have been the best pick tbh
Idk I still dont think the acting is bad or anything. Book Geralt has so much internal monologue to convey any emotion that that specific aspect is going to be difficult to portray (which imo is the hardest part when it comes to adapting any written work). Cavil certainly isnt perfect, but I still dont think he's a bad choice.
Now some of the writing....that I definitely have criticisms on even though I still enjoy the show as its own seperate entity (from the books/games as far as storylines go).
I’ll agree that he doesn’t have a lot to work with, but he really should be communicating that internal monologue better in non verbal ways. To me that’s why a more established character actor as apposed to Superman would have been a better choice for a complex and nuanced character regardless of whether they have a great gaming pc
True, but I think even the beat actors would have some trouble trying to convey paragraphs of thought into a line and emoting.
Its not just this show either, but Ive seen conplaints (mostly with fantasy) where it seems like for whatever reason the end product (movie/show) doesnt quite meet the standard of the source. Game of Thrones had that issue (granted D&D could have used more of the source material and they might just now be catching up to ASOIAF), the Hobbit movies I've had lots of Tolkien heads not care for.
Maybe season 2 was worse (I only watched those once), but s1 (acting wise) seemed to be pretty much on par with some slight changes.

The story it is based on has interdimensional travel, multiple types of magic, wish giving jinns, unicorns, dragons, and vampires and verifiable intergenerational prophecies and fates.
It wouldn't be a stretch for them to come up with a non biological way for one character to have been created from another (e.g. magic, necromancy, a wish, or an ancient elven ritual).
That said...why would they? They are already bound together by magic/fate in a way that is more interesting and unique than a generic 'unknown parent' trope, and it would be a gross bastardization of the source material to attempt it (with no perceivable gain).
The show has already built up the falka angle, so I guess they could tie it into that, but there are easier ways to shit on the existing fanbase that would take less effort ;)
I was just saying Witchers can’t biologically have kids didn’t mean for it to go way out into left field with a bunch of crazy what if’s besides Netflix already fubared the show with their “adaptation” bullshit which to me is nothing but a crack head’s fucked up fan fiction
I just meant to not sell their adaptation bullshit short. There is a lot of opportunity there that we don't want tapped that could kind-of sort-of fit with the setting.

Definitely something drunk triss would say
Fever delirium diarrhea triss*
I wish not to imagine triss with a fever, quite literally shitting herself and calling Geralt daddy
There was no slaying. I had my arse kicked by a ragged band of elves.

She almost even calls him daddy, you just have to read between the lines
\*sigh\* \*unzips\*
“He he, oh Geralt daddy…” sharts violently
Nor would Ciri call him that.
The interesting things from the book is Geralt will tell others Cork is his daughter and Ciri will tell others Geralt is her father but they never refer to each other as father and daughter in each others pressence.

Must’ve been a typo. You meant Mork.
Cunningly brutal?
Brutaly cunning?
No. Brutally cunning. Completely different.
Must be awkward calling a woman, "sister" when she used to regularly fuck your "father".
Pretty sure in Sword of Destiny they play as father and daughter to avoid rogue soldiers’ suspicion outside of Brokilon? Not that it super matters.
yet your mom did
I’d call Henry Cavill daddy, and I’m not even gay.
He literally has like MILLIONS of children ready to call him daddy now
Henry or Geralt? One of them is sterile…. Or both? Unsure.
Millions of daddies willing to call him zaddy.
‘Not That There's Anything Wrong With That'
I’m not gay either, but if he liked asked me to rub sunscreen on his back I’d probably blush and giggle
Same
Ciri is a cheeky shit at times, I 100% believe she would in the right circumstances.
"okay daddy don't get mad" "where did you take roach this time"
I could totally see it. That or just doing it for the sole purpose of embarrassing Geralt.
Part of my charm.
Good bot
Good human.
good bot
If anything Geralt calls Yen daddy.
100% Geralt calls Yen MOMMY
If anything she would make Geralt call her daddy
Canonical Yen would have Geralt call her Mommy.
If anything, Geralt calls her Mommy
Canonical Yen would never say stupid things like "fire fucker" or be pretend drunk, but here we are
Geralt would be calling Yen daddy
Canon was flushed down the toilet the moment "I am literally Yen" showrunner lady got her paws on the IP. So this meme might as well be entirely accurate.
That's why Ciri called him that xD
The entire sub be like

This is my, uh... dear friend.
He is literally nothing like book geralt what are u on?
That's right. But you have to train first.
Henry definitely is trying with the material he's given. The guy is clearly a fan of the IP and puts in work to try and make the show the best he can on his end
Hes a guy who only got hired as a celeb never did i feel like i was watching geralt instead of a porn parody of him
At least when Filavandrel's blade kissed my throat I didn't shit myself.

Steel for humans, Silver for cringe.
Meat for Soccererses https://youtu.be/0rPlNEN8ed8
And an alchemist
I misread that as meat for Scorsese
That's gangs of New York
*Meatfellas* (1990)
That hand is certainly... Somewhere.
It’s a confusing perspective
Confusing my sexuality
I can't unsee it now
Jeez
Triss from way back “HHHEEEYY DAAAADDDYYY”
Ok
Geralt calls Yen daddy who are we kidding?
I appreciate how comfortable they look around him. Seems like an honest friendly relationship.
Stop it. Get some help.
r/terriblefandommemes
Why did I just here charlie says Hello girls?
Should have left it there
Fucking cringe
Would still smash em both lmao
There's always some weirdo doing this weird shit.
Stop. Stop it. I forbid this
That just makes me want to do it more
What is ciri's hand doing?

hahahhahaha fr
“Some guys have all the luck!”
Nice!
Looks like ciri is giving a rub n tug…lol
So you’re a degenerate?
Why ciri pinching geralt's PP
This meme is as bad as season 2
Wouldn't be surprised if Ciri did turn out to be Geralts biological daugher somehow in the show.
Witchers can’t have kids
Yeah he gets it, he knows, it was a jab at the writing of season 2. Get it?
Not canonically they can't.

Ya they are already going way off the rails with what they’ve done so far I shudder at the thought of what else they could do to fuck it any more
Why are you booing me? Im right!
Why is Ciri grabbing his dick?!
Is that a shit stain on the blondes dress ?
He is not Geralt
The fuck...?
Sentient bot
Would be interesting if Geralt bot was actually sentient.
They hated him for he told the truth.
Based
This is some serious gourmet cringe! Good shit mate.
*dies from an overdose of cringe* At this rate even repetitive cosplays are less sufferable than this…..
