the reason i fucking adore that, among all the destruction Yen could have caused, she chose to draw a beard on Avallac’h’s portrait is not that it seems so miniscule compared to what Geralt and Ciri did to his lab

the reason i adore it is that it is so fucking  g e n i u s

that was not a photograph. that was a legit portrait. a painting.  a good, flattering one, too. custom made. probably cost a small fortune. hanging a portrait of oneself in one’s working space is pretty darn vain, and on top of that it is hanging among all of his material on Lara Dorren, which Avallac’h poured his heart’s blood into. he is aligning his own portrait, himself, with Ciri’s ancestral line and the Elder Blood

you can’t tell me that this is not even in the slightest bit vain of him, regardless of what other motivations he might have had

and what does Yen do? Yennefer of Vengerberg, Master Prankster Extraordinaire, draws a fucking moustache and beard on Avallac’h’s priced fucking portrait of himself. if that is not a symbolic kick in the crotch, i don’t know what is. 

Ciri and Geralt wen’t for Avallac’h’s life’s work. Yen went for the sage’s fucking ballsack and ego. 

and the way she subtly participated in and shared Geralt’s and Ciri’s special moment, without pushing herself on/between them, or making herself act out of character?

I love her

Geralt: As a mutant I just don’t care about people.

Gretka: My parents sent me away in the woods to starve.

Geralt: I am your new dad now here have a toy and you don’t have to do work just play.

Random Child: Our parents are dead and we haven’t eaten in a week.

Geralt: I am your new dad now please take every piece of food in my inventory I’ll be back next week to check on you.

Tamara: My father is a drunk and abusive so I ran away.

Geralt: As your new father I want you to know I support you in whatever you decide to do here have some coin write if you need anything.

Ciri: Given away as payment also my parents are dead.

Geralt: Ciri, flesh of my flesh, daughter of mine, sweet child I would literally climb mountains for you and slay any beast in name of your safety.

Geralt: I am so heartless total badass.
