grappling with harsh reality thinking about tissaia and vilgefortz crying into my pillow
but i just realized that their relationship makes about 10 times more sense if they got together during the month that yennefer was missing after sodden between s2ep1 and s2ep2 when tissaia was going crazy w grief over yennefer
tissaia was simply not in her right mind
and vilgefortz slid in like hello I, too, have a bad temper, impetuousness, and the overwhelming need to win an argument
i just came out to have a good time and honestly i'm feeling so attacked right now
real talk though i have also considered this and while i think Lauren did in fact mean for Tissaia and Bilgerat to have a Potential Thing in the end of s1, i also think they weren't actually together at the time. he was probably making overtures though. while in my heart of hearts i would still like to see evidence that she has had an inkling of what he was doing since shortly after Sodden, even if that inkling is as simple as "something's fishy here, i should keep him close," i have for sure thought about the fact that she got together with him *while in mourning* and the idea that it might have been a distraction and that maybe, just maybe, she let herself get a little deeper into the relationship than she ever meant to wholly because she was *hurting* so so very badly makes me want to roll face first into a ditch and lie there for about six years.
