I have a question to the people who finished Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
(this post will contain spoilers for the games and the books)
I'm a big fan of the witcher books and I'm on my first playthrough of the Wild Hunt. I just finished the big battle in Kaer Morhen. I love the game so far but there's just this one thing that bugs me.
I don't know what the hell Avallac'h is doing helping Ciri.
In the books he's her captor, basically forcing her into being raped by Auberon. So the fact that in the game he's helping Ciri and she considers him trustworthy just really confuses me. I feel like I'm missing some very important piece of lore here.
The witcher games have so far been pretty good at staying true to the books. I keep waiting for an explanation of what's going on with Avallac'h but so far everyone (including Ciri) just keeps on acting like he's a normal elf dude wizard with no terrible past.
My question is: Is it gonna be explained why Ciri decided to trust Avallac'h after all that he did to her in the books? Or did the game devs just change his character and his past (the same way they omitted the whole Emhyr's incest arc from the books)?
Please don't spoil to me what happens in the games. I just want to know if it will be explained or not. I'm too afraid to google it bc I'm scared of spoilers.
What it feels like to write Vernon/Iorveth fanfiction
Rn I'm deep in the Witcher fandom and I'm working on a Vernon/Iorveth fanfic. I really want to stay as true to Vernon's and Iorveth's characters as possible. But these two just hate eatchother so much. Getting them to kiss is an impossible task c':

Another person is sprawled out across the shot with their head in the first person's lap. A third person kneeling on the right of the image is stretching down across the frame to kiss the second person while resting a hand on their crotch. /end]

You Will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money.
Native American saying, first written in 1972. Still relevant when more than half a century old, and we can see how it manifests itself in real time. I personally came across a version of it in Aurora's song "The Seed," originally titled "Eat Money." Quoting her "It's about human history, about how we've co-existed in the world and how we've forgotten how to live with nature and the power we have."
