My unhealthy obsession with enjoying works that were created to physically hurt me all began with Titanic. What about you?

Check out my ongoing comic Crow Time. It has crows, and also neat pantheons of epic beasties.

a tragic tale 😔

The Amazing Devil moments that made me wonder how Joey Batey is even real

those album credits on Bandcamp where it's just Joey Batey's name listed repeatedly for a ridiculous number of instruments

the beautiful tongue-twisters in Love Run (reprise)

his voice around 5:50 on New York Torch Song: "It starts off like a pin prick, a trick of the light oil slick"—that. was. obscene.

the stunning simplicity of his performance in Elsa's Song

his character work in Two Minutes. His singing is brilliant, yes. But also the acting.

This man really just said with his whole chest, "Sex is better when you're unemployed" and refused to explain anything. Iconic.

wearing a dress and looking absolutely fantastic in it. Case in point: THATW album photos

"Welcome to the storm, I am thunder. Welcome to my table bring your hunger." CHILLS. The very best kind of chills.

the instant serotonin hit of "Could be ghosts or monsters or a robot vampire, I dunno!" Incredible.

Welly Boots and the number of times he's made me cry with it. This man is a hazard.

That part of Farewell Wanderlust. You know the one.

How dare you make me equate romance and tenderness with a that's what she said joke, Joey. How very dare you. The worst of his many crimes, surely.

the exquisite menace of "No no, not I."

burning Nicholas Sparks' entire filmography to the ground with just one (1) love song that lasts all of 6 minutes and 15 seconds

that quiet little "I’m doing fine" that sends me wailing into the wind

"Welcome to ruin." I would keysmash, but that's far too civilized for how that line made me feel.

laughing at himself for making three mistakes that no one else can hear in Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious

the powerhouse musical theater performance of Blossoms. You can hear his facial expressions. HOW.

all of The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace. Just. All of it.

"I will be the man my father never was." SIR.

Just. How are you even real, Joey Batey?

Ot3 troubles

[luulapants]

My dad and I once had a disagreement over him using the adage "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

I said, "That's just not true. Sometimes what doesn't kill you leaves you brittle and injured or traumatized."

He stopped and thought about that for a while. He came back later, and said, "It's like wood glue."

He pointed to my bookshelf, which he helped me salvage a while ago. He said, "Do you remember how I explained that, once we used the wood glue on them, the shelves would actually be stronger than they were before they broke?"

I did.

"But before we used the wood glue, those shelves were broken. They couldn't hold up shit. If you had put books on them, they would have collapsed. And that wood glue had to set awhile. If we put anything on them too early, they would have collapsed just the same as if we'd never fixed them at all. You've got to give these things time to set."

It sounded like a pretty good metaphor to me, but one thing I did pick up on was that whatever broke those shelves, that's not the thing that made them stronger. That just broke them. It was being fixed that made them stronger. It was the glue.

So my dad and I agreed, what doesn't kill you doesn't actually make you stronger, but healing does. And if you feel like healing hasn't made you stronger than you were before, you're probably not done healing. You've got to give these things time to set.

there’s something different about him…

JOEY BATEY The Witcher: Blood Origin premiere, London (12/12/22)

[my-jokes-are-my-armour]

I came to the conclusion that almost nothing can prevent Jaskier/Joey chest to burst out of clothes

(I am not complaining 😉)

First season. The costume designer came with the concept of "buttoned shirt", but...

It quickly became the concept of Joey's unbuttoned shirt style.

They tried to button him up the next episode. But next scene : FREEDOM !!

Even at the queen's castle, as the official bard. Everything is fine until the magical tempest happened. Of course, none of his buttons could resist that much power.

Then it was almost open but the chest needed more space 🙂

The dragon hunt costume did the trick though, with not enough buttons to open 😋

Saison 2, the cleavage was already plunging with various opportunities to expose the chest. The last shot was again revealing 😉

But here we're at with the Blood Origin first shots. I tell you, I think we are not prepared for season 3 😁

People like Jaskier is little weak meow meow while in the show Jaskier saw the scariest man in the world and decided to be his bestie even if he didn't want it and then when Geralt found a genie the one of Jaskier's wishes was TO KILL Valdo. And of course how can I forget Jaskier who ate something strange in a lab in Kaer Morhen without caring that it might be posions. Please, this guy has no fear, no self-preservation instinct. He is a mad angry man and I love him for that

yennefer and geralt as a divorced couple coparenting a child together and both dating the same man is not a dynamic i expected to be getting for going into season 3
