this show deserves an emmy for this scene alone
You know what makes Her Sweet Kiss the absolute worst?? This from the interactive map:
It’s one of Jaskier’s most famous ballads, and not only that, but people know it’s about Geralt and Yennefer’s romance. Which! Means! That there should only be two sets of pronouns in that song. Something like the third person and second person.
But no, it has that and the first person. So, because it’s one of Jaskier’s songs, it’s absolutely canon that Jaskier is the first person, Yennefer is her, and Geralt is you.
Do the people also realise that Jaskier is calling Geralt his love? Who knows? It seems wild that they wouldn’t know or realise. Maybe when Jaskier plays the song, there are whispers: “Oh, I heard that this song is about his love for the witcher.” “Heard that too, shame the poor boy can’t let go.” “Yeah, I noticed the tears in his eyes, poor lad.”
It certainly seems, with all the evidence, that Jaskier being in love with Geralt, and it being unrequited, is gonna be canon…

They put you in a cell and took everything they could take...except your life. And you believed that was all there was, didn’t you? That the only thing you had left was your life.
But it wasn’t, was it?
