#i like her better when shes on her own
This started as a joke between me and @aplaceofnonsense in our Discord group, but it’s grown into a psuedo-headcanon. We have concluded that Jaskier is either the physical embodiment of Destiny or he’s the Slavic equivalent to the god Pan.
—————————————-
The convo:
Saph: With Jaskier being human and Geralt aging slowly, he’ll have to watch him get old and die and now I’m sad…
Me: I’ll laugh my ass off if it turns out if he’s secretly immortal and more powerful than any of them, but doesn’t tell them because he just wants to sing xD
Saph: …what?
Me: What we know about Jaskier:
- He hasn’t aged a day in the decade-plus Geralt’s known him
- With his penchant for getting in trouble, how has he survived this long?
- He and Geralt aren’t always traveling together…
- …but when they do, Jaskier’s the reason behind Geralt being in “the right place at the right time” to meet his destinies (Yen and Ciri)
- Jaskier dragged him to the ball where he evoked the Law of Surprise
- Jaskier got injured down the road from the only mage that could save him (Yennefer)
- what was Jaskier doing in the area, anyway?
- he literally came out of nowhere just to be a catalyst in their meeting
- This dude is the embodiment of Destiny
- Meanwhile, Geralt’s over there thinking Yen and Ciri are his destiny, while actual Destiny is huffing in the corner
- But what if he’s Pan?
- I mean, he’s musical, likes the sex and is a fun-loving guy
- and he’s pansexual (Joey Batey said he falls in love with everyone)
The possibilities are hilarious!
——————————–
Geralt, learning Jaskier is immortal: Why didn’t you mention this?!
Jaskier: Didn’t seem important…
Jaskier: Btw, I’m writing a new tune, have a listen–
——————————–
Yennefer, being emo: Do the gods hate me?!
Jaskier: Yes–I mean what?

Additional headcanon: Roach is the only one who knows about Jaskier.
