I’ve recently seen the idea of Jaskier being incredibly skilled with a dagger/sword/bow etc. becoming more popular and I am very excited
Basically he’s multiclassing as a bard/rogue and he’s damn good at it.
Years of learning every instrument and song he came across and talking his way into and out of trouble lent him to quick hands and an even quicker tongue
Subsequently years of getting too drunk at shady bars and fucking noblemens wives, sons, daughters, have led to him picking up a few... necessary skills for his survival
Be that knowing where to punch a man to make him fall or how much power to put behind a dagger so it finds purchase in a pursuers gut, he was no damsel
But sometimes it was nice to not have to always watch your back, to not always have to sit facing the door and sleep close to the window, so when Geralt came along, he made some assumptions, and it wasn’t Jaskiers job to correct him, so he let the Witcher do what he did best, no not kill monsters, he let him protect.
It is okay if you do not do better tomorrow than you did today. It is okay if you do worse tomorrow than you did today.
If you have made it through the day, that is enough. It doesn't matter if it's been less productive than you wanted, sometimes all you can do is get through the day. And that is okay, even when it feels bad, especially when you used to be able to do things.
It is okay for you to get worse, it does not reflect on you as a person.
Sometimes things aren’t going to get better
If you have a chronic illness or a disability, and that’s going to be with you forever
So sometimes things don’t get better, but that’s okay
Sometimes what you need to do is work on managing things instead of trying to see how the situation could be better or worse, and that’s okay

RTD SAID TRANS RIGHTS AND THE DOCTOR IS TRANS ALL IN ONE FUCKING MADLAD
Head Engineer, Melanie Cavill
People keep saying that the TARDIS shouldn’t have malfunctioned just from a cup of coffee but I have two theories
• The TARDIS heard that her darling newly regenerated little time Lord wasn’t going to get a cool adventure with his bestie and engineered an excuse so that he could
• The TARDIS having newly refurbished herself had coffee thrown at her nice new circuits and decided to throw a bitch fit
Look the TARDIS is the longest running female character in doctor who, has proven to be sentient, and regularly takes the Doctor to places she thinks he’d like without warning. It had to be her right?
half of my brain is screaming about THAT ending and the other half is playing ra ra rasputin on a loop
I remember books beginning to come out with queer characters, and that being a big deal, and the author taking risks. I'm in my twenties, and the change I've seen between my childhood and my younger sister's in terms of diversity and inclusion in the media is monumental, to an extent I don't think we often appreciate enough.
One thing that's likely not visible to all younger queers is that little kids shows have gotten radically queerer in the last 10 years.
I'm not just talking about Owl House, Kippo etc, much as I love them.
I mean like stuff for kindergardners.
Characters in Strawberry Shortcake and Superhero Girls and more have gay parents just unremarkably in the background. That was unthinkable 15 years ago.
But the thing that shocks me utterly is the casual inclusion of nonbinary characters.
Dee and Friends in Oz, Polly Pocket, Craig of the Creek...it seems like half the shows my daughter watches have nonbinary characters just seamlessly included. Not even a Very Special Episode. Just...here's the scarecrow in charge of scarecrow village who uses they/them pronouns that everyone just uses without comment.
I was almost 30 before I found the word nonbinary. For my kid to just grow up with this is astonishing.
Conservatives are so mad because it's INCREDIBLY hard to just put this kind of inclusion back away. Once something is normal, and clearly not causing anything bad to happen, it's hard to convince people to be scared of it.
