This isn’t politics; there aren’t opinions and this isn’t an equal thing.
People are being murdered. Innocent people. This is genocide.
SPEAK OUT. DONATE. HELP THESE PEOPLE.
I’m not able to do a lot, but I couldn’t live with myself I I didn’t even try to spread awareness. I’m not sure which sites are the best for helping, nor whom I’m supposed to donate to. But this seems like a good one.
idle Jaskier-related notion:
Joey Batey is really approximately the same size and shape as Henry Cavill, and there are a number of clever techniques in pretty much all Jaskier's costumes to hide this fact and make him look about three or four inches narrower than he actually is. The costumers work really really hard to make him look that twinky, often with cleverly cut shoulder decorations that pretend he's trying to look bigger than he is and have the actual effect of making him look a lot lighter.
On a Doylistic level this makes sense, because it's hard to make Geralt look Huge and Imposing next to your non-combatant harmless sidekick if said sidekick is a jacked six foot burly man.
On a Watsonian level, however, the notion of Jaskier as this big meaty dude aggressively arguing with all his tailors to ensure that he looks as non threatening and foppish and entertaining as possible while also looking as sexy as he can (for a Jaskier definition of sexy, at least) is generating considerable entertainment for me this fine morning.
