Joey Batey: Hey guys, I’m doing this show where my character and the main female character both break up with this guy. We should write a ballad from their perspectives.
Rest of The Amazing Devil:
FYI, They were filming The Witcher from October of 2018 to March of 2019 per wikipedia. The song came out February of 2019. Coincidence? Or Destiny?

Joey:
With you I could summon the gods and the stars And we’d laugh at the ghosts of our fears We were kids.
Come at me you blaggards, you’d yell from the banks Wielding words against make believe wizards and tanks And by god, love, believe me I wanted to play too, I did.
But we sunk into water no creature could know You dragged us both into the darkness that grows Our devils broke ranks And out of the depths came an army.
I won’t let you turn our last night into this Gonna binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce This isn’t a breakup, dear heart, it’s the season finale!

Madeleine:
Come on love, please don’t start Sing your notes, play your part And you’ll leave We were gods.
Come at me you blaggards, you’d yell From the back of the gallery Say goodbye
I am not a drunkard, a daughter, a creature, god knows How you dragged me along To watch all of your shows Oh dear god
I won’t leave without a fight I’m gonna binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce This isn’t a breakup, dear heart, it’s the season finale!

(this is only a snippet of the lyrics. Turn on closed captions and follow along. It may take a few tries)
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.
My favorite season (summer) is ending. I wanted to catch that beatiful golden hour’s light in my next fanart. I can imagine how by the end of a day Gerald and Yen are drinking vine and enjoying each other’s company. I love this pieceful ending of this great game.
You flee my dream come the morning Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks en twisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep.
Ok, it´s the version of the books, but I like the song anyways ^^
