I've been laughing way too long at how you perfectly Mike Wazowski'ed Angouleme in that screenshot 😂😂 (due to me as well. Gotta get that height difference! P.S. I do want to just also say here that I'm so grateful to have book fans sticking together in this trying time, and thanks for everything you do!)
AAAAHAHAHAHA im actually laughing out loud i didn’t even realize my screen ratio did that to her until you pointed it out 😂😂😂 ah, angoulême going to the company, pointing at the screenshot on her phone, “we’re the first post in the witcher tag!” everyone else notices she was cut off, saying “oh” and giving sympathetic smiles, but she doesn’t mind and is just overjoyed “i’ve never been top post before…” … punches dandelion on the arm a friendly way, to which he goes “ow…” and looks aside at milva like “why did you teach her that…”
and i love the the height difference amongst friends you gave the hansa… everyone’s height is how i headcanon them, so i’m biased… angoulême is just a short queen. short countess? 🥲 it’s funny to imagine this short skinny girl strutting around the company like she owns it now, riding around on draakul who she stole from regis and calling them all uncles and auntie much to their annoyance
i imagine that when geralt couldn’t stop himself from seeing similarities between her and ciri, and saved her from prefect artevelde, once she was brought out of the cell led by guards and given to his custody, geralt kind of, out of reflex, looked her up and down like “where’s the rest of her?” since ciri is tall and slim… even at 14, when she last saw geralt, she was an inch taller than angoulême is currently at 19 😭
i also imagine in a scenario where regis and angoulême have to hide (idk they are exploring or eavesdropping), regis ✨simply vanishes into thin air✨ in his otherworldly manner … and angoulême just crouches down a little, mundanely and unhurriedly arching her shoulders
and yes of COURSE!!! i’m so glad i made the decision to make a sideblog for twn (and cdpr 😏 sometimes) hate, so i can have this space as my main blog and post about the books in a twn-free space. i hope - and i’m that that, because it seems the case - people can use this blog to connect with book content in these difficult times. i think it’s important to be able to remember that shitty “imitative works” (i won’t call it an adaptation or inspired work) come and go, but even as terrible as they might get, the books still exist and always have more to offer, details to glean, ways to interpret — and what’s more, is that the witcher books community is so talented and passionate, we have more talent in our collective pinky finger than the entire writing team of twn has in their bodies combined. and i think at some level, the books do attract a crowd of people who want to engage in material that has a deeper meaning and care about the messages & themes from the media they surround themselves with. who care about the family, the trauma, the war… the healing… all of the things which make it meaningful… and on this note, same to you my friend, because your book art has given me life and hope 🥺❤️
