The Witcher Season 2 | Geralt and Jaskier Reunite Scene 

*YOUR BROTHER'S SOUL IS MINE!!!*

I love a good bromance

@@GutzOverFear *IT HAS BEGUN!*

okay whatever...it wouldn't say they are bestest of friends, but they are friends.

@@mygod5500 the annoying friend and the grumpy friend

You leave Roach out of this !

@@andrew13jn okay like what my girl roach got to do with it😭😂

Jajaja

Not to nitpick but the size of their bodies and shapes of their noses suggest those were mice

She was way more than a horse 😭 but yeah I thought the same thing

And he didn't know yet that Yen had lost her magic, so he thought he might also have to fight one of the most powerful mages he'd ever met, on top of The Deathless Mother who was potentially possessing his daughter. And his first choice for teammates in this endeavor was a womanising songsmith with questionable taste in travel footwear.

Lovely thought but sadly im pretty sure he only went to get him cuz now he knew where to find him (as Yen told him they met there recently) and got his sht together to face him cuz he was the last person he knew to have spoken with Yen and might know where to even look for her and what might be her goal. He so needed the push tho i think xD totally felt guilty, as he should xD

@@evakaname nah Jaskier served no other tactical advantage beyond being the only person Geralt could trust he figured out on his own where Yen was going

@@coltonplumber1781 I mean, he didn't know it at the time, but Jaskier knew about Voleth Meir which i'd say is pretty important

@@evakaname I mean you’re not wrong, but…. I think he went to Jaskier for multiple reasons. Yes, he was the last person that talked to Yen and therefore the only person Geralt knows who might have a clue what she’s up to. I also think he just wanted to make sure the bard was safe. Not only to protect Ciri if others came for the same information but because he was genuinely worried about Jaskier and realized his friend was getting dragged into a mess not of his own making (technically). Just full papa-bear mode. There’s clearly guilt for what went down on the mountain, of course. I think the biggest thing, though, is Jaskier is the one character (outside of maybe Tessia) who sees Yennefer for everything she is. And he’s willing to tell Geralt that truth to his face. Geralt needs Jaskier to be a barometer for him because he knows he can’t always trust himself where Yen’s involved.

Witcher 3 Geralt in Skellige in a nutshell

@@codo8584 Hey, at least he got an achievement

Jaskier - I am talking to you ,this is how this works . Geralt - I need your help. Jaskier - .............FINE. When I first saw this I thought it was silly dialogue writing .Jaskier says fine ,forgets all the times Geralt hurt him but now I find this scene more touching and actually I find it funny because I realise that they really think of each other as friends . It didn't seem much from the first season I think but now it's clear that they actually like being friends . Hopefully Jaskier will hear some lion name in the future and will call himself master .........Dandelion 😆.

@@codo8584 Came to say this. That fucking archipelago nearly made me throw my switch through a wall a couple of times. Between that and the unexpected whale sightings while diving...

@@MsKathleenb the goddamn whale scared the shit out of me when I was playing the Witcher 3 at like 3am, I was kind of just droning tired, eyes kind of closed but awake I was determined to find all the treasure off the oceans because I had just unlocked the perk that allows you to carry over a 100 weight, literally was just looking for treasure to make money tired asf trying to grind this amazing game, as I just finished killing some drowners, I swam deeper to get said treasure and then turned behind cause I heard something ready to use my crossbow thinking how I missed a drowner, imagine my scream when I was pretty much awoken by a giant whale that looked like the great granddaddy of fucking mobey dick, waking up my ex girlfriend and my GSD and in turn scaring her to the point were we both screamed because she thought it was a woman screaming and launching my dog off the bed to alert mode to protect her from me lol (apparently when I run into digitized whales out of surprise I sound like a soprano XD) some great Witcher I am lol

While the guard is peacefully getting seven shades of shit kicked out of him.

Well I mean he’s in a locked cell what’s he gonna do?? Also he’s in a locked cell that’s probably protecting him

@@torakunoichi Yep, one time me, my father and uncle had to destroy some old building like that (build similiar/from similiar resources) on our land to make space for new barn and it was pain in the ass even with good axe and hammer. So if that cell is in 1/3 as solid as building we took down he is pretty safe in there.

@@ragnaros7889 sounds like fun^^ Problem though the guard has the keys. It is still easy to walk through a door.^^

Does anybody know which is the song that starts at 2:33?

They're what you might call geek goals. I mean, Jesus, Joey is in MCU-worthy shape when he's cleaning it clothes.

Mice and rats make such adorable pets.

Translation the trainer had it in his contract that no one took their mice. Lol

I had several pet mice as a kid. They are wonderful little creatures. Friendly and smart.

@@Beverly_Dingus I mean they didn't seem to smart when my fat cat would bring them in the house

Same

I love the idea that he's just started using Geralt as a substitute swear word and that was intentional. "Oh, go Geralt yourself", "go bugger a white wolf", "shove it up your Geralt", stuff like that.

A love how it’s kinda a throw back to the ‘nilvgard can kiss my Geralt’ from the djinn episode.

Thanks, now I don't need to write this comment:) Gets me every time, I so love this one.

@@Sammi238 exactly, Geralt is a substitute for arse :3 quite amusing 'kiss my Geralt' and 'shoved it up your Geralt' 🤣

I think the fact that Geralt is asking help in the first place is the apology, i mean this is the white wolf asking

@@Jdne199311 FR. It shows just how much Geralt actually values Jaskier. He could have asked anyone for help. He asked Jaskier.

@@dancingcarapace Exactly :)

@@dancingcarapace yeah I think you got it bang on.

Does anybody know which is the song that starts at 2:33?

Batey and Cavill are definitely the best part of the show. I wish they'd do entire episodes of just the 2 of them on monster hunts.

@@InvertedFreeSolo well because they're some of the few actors who actually read the books and played the games

@@wariret8866 I heard they also W40K m8s (Custodes for Cavill, 'crons for Batey)

@@wariret8866 To be fair Cavill didn't do that til after the first season. Hence that stream of him building a pc so he could play witcher 3. But he is a huge fucking nerd so i forgive him.

@@BrennaDraws he said that he played the witcher games and read the books way before the announcement of making the series, that why he came forward and asked to get a role in the series

SAME

He tried to convince himself SO HARD that he was toootally over Geralt.. :'D Can't blame him though

The Taylor swift of the witcher-verse

Well this is how true friendships work...

@@Babbling_Wizard accurate

Vastly underrated comment!

Yesss

And they say mario and luigi are the best duo….

@@SexLuthor Who the hell says this?:)

One of the biggest shows was when Geralt sent Ciri with Jaskier. He trusts Jaskier with the single most important thing in his entire life, even after being betrayed by the woman he loves. He still trusts Jaskier.

also Geralt: *tells his horse stories he's probably told a million times...*

@@heather8374 He has full on conversations with Roach.

@@joaquinblas1611 sad they killed roach he dint had to go like that.

@@kaizikorugwm9251 she* not he

@@EduardoMora69 IRL apparently the horse they've used for Roach is male-so they've literally CG'd out the horse junk. No, I'm not kidding.

You don't understand how friendships work do you

@@johnbaxton1872 wow, will you please enlighten our ignorant selfs since you so clearly are superior in the art of friendships and feel like you have to demonstrate it in a youtube comments section good sir.

@@blueey2938 Well to put it simply, friends see each other as equals. It doesn't matter how kitted up Geralt is, Geralt knows he was in the wrong for what he did to Jaskier and that Jaskier had every right to vent. After all Geralt came looking for his help. So no Jaskier wasn't being ballsy, he knows Geralt better than Geralt knows himself. This is what friends do, it's like the band geek being best friends with the jock football star who's really just a big softie.

@@johnbaxton1872 That was well said!

@@blueey2938 damn bro you got fucked up

This reminds me of one great short story from web of League of Legends, The Burning Tides. Reas it. It's amazing.

That would have been beautiful.

Lost opportunity tbh

I don't understand that about him sliding down a mountain .. what is it about?

@@emmrodriguez6810 watch the video you're commenting under lmao

I think all of us wants this!

Mice, not rats

@@markveenvliet6116 oh sorry, english is not my first language, thanks for correcting me!

Talent recognizes talent regardless of species

@@michaelbootes4822 Gordon _is_ amazing!

just wish they hadn't spoiled it in the trailers leading up to the release. More Jaskier next season please

Right before losing Henry.

I noticed that too. And if I am not mistaken, the only other people Geralt has hugged ( in terms of friendship) are his fellow witchers.

Seriously though, skidding down that mountain in Skellige was fun. Definitely made the bloody slog up it and through that damn castle worth it.

Lol that line is hilarious.

I love how you can see how Jaskier hardened while Geralt softened. The "I've missed you too" moment has both their characters somewhat reversed, showcasing their development.

I think he put it to the side cause he knew how hard it was for Geralt to say he needed his help. Not because of the "fight" lol but for Geralt to ask anyone for help is a big deal and shows a level of trust probably only reserved for the other Witchers.

@@paulcrawford5437 Plus, it's not exactly time-sensitive at this point. It's not like having it out then and there will get Geralt to go back to that mountain and help him down. They can have it out on the way, but right now, they need to get moving and whatever it is, it's important enough that Geralt came to get him and ask for help. It is, therefore, more important than some hurt feelings.

@@kristinw2600 Yep. :)

Thing is it shows in later interactions that he's now more than willing to call out Geralt on his bulshit and Geralt is less willing to deny his own bulshit and as such does tone it down.

That's why girlfriends are shit , they don't like the best friends of their boyfriend. Bcoz we love each other as soulmates 😳

@Arday60 - It almost has the feel it was improved....but it gets me every time....

Same

Speaking of "he's gold" :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FkdLulbAdTg.html

His interactions with Geralt! They have so much chemistry together, I love it! Although in books they are friends, this Jaskier in the show is soo in love with Geralt!

I'm sure you didn't mean to imply otherwise but unrequited love doesn't stop you from being best friends. Or rather, it can but it doesn't have to.

@@H36662 you're right, that implication was not intended and I'm very personally acquainted with the fact that unrequited love and being best friends aren't mutually exclusive. :)

YES

Okay Twilight settle down.

this stuff doesn't go into "50 years of poetry"

Joey is fucking INSANELY talented. How? How does he do that???

The way they introduced him was also great. Yennefer and even Cahir had been in such rough spots for so long and so powerless and friendless that hope felt completely alien. And then, you hear that plucky bard's voice, and an old friendly face, and suddenly it feels like maybe there's a chance after all. Well done.

Lessons? He should be teaching by now. Search The Amazing Devil, it's the name of his band, they have a couple of albums already and all of them are pure, PURE gold.

@@fishoto3677 I’ll have to check that out, thank you!

@@SpiritedHeart94 I can vouch I love most of their songs.

@@fishoto3677 she？

Was already incredible singer. They don't write him parts that show off his capabilities. Horror and the Wild by his old band the Amazing Devil is a good first song to listen to of theirs

That's why Jaskier is the goat

Agreed. Geralt got off way to easily with the shit he pulled on that mountain

Well the look on Geralt’s face along with the tone of ‘I need your help’…. I mean coming from him, that means the world. As I imagine he is not someone who asks for help lightly or if ever. But that also happens when you become a parent, cause let’s face it, he’s become a dad now.

He didn’t even say sorry. He actually said “I need your help” lol. So like….even WEAKER than a shifty sorry lololol. But he’s so pretty that it’s ok! Lol

He's breaking you out of jail. I think you can cut him some slack.

I keep listening to that part. It makes my brain feel all amazing!

That line randomly pops into my head every now and then and I have to listen to the song full through.

I mean the song Jaskier sang is pretty much directed at him

@@unkennyvalley287 and we have no idea just how long he'd been singing it on repeat. 2 days in, that would get very, very old. He's obviously been at it awhile, he managed to teach the song to the mice.

Yeah. Smh fucking kings pay top gold for this shit, and this lowly guard thinks he's fucking better than Kings & Queens

@@unkennyvalley287 That song could be about anyone.

Especially since Gordon _is_ an amazing back-up singer.

That's so true

I love Batey's pronounciation of words, it's so satisfying. As someone who is not an english speaker, being able to understand the pronounciation of every word is amazing.

Aperently we are very, no extremely social animals

Humans can pack bond to inanimate objects

@@wettailtimberwolf1996 ffmm, never forget Wilson

@@wettailtimberwolf1996 People bond with their roombas.

Right? Joey Batey is the perfect Jaskier.

💀😂😭

Did you at least promise to be better? Because Geralt here did nothing of that. A measly "sorry" followed by "shut up, Jaskier". Is this what you call a proper apology?Geralt treats Jaskier like a dog. For your friend's sake I hope you treat them better than Geralt treats Jaskier.

@@BlackKiryuu Look in Geralt's defense, he had much more on his plate than a long winded apology. I think its also understandable that Geralt is used to a life alone, taught to suppress his emotions, and that being close to people gets either them or him killed. The fact that he even begged for help knowing he asks literally no one for help and admitted he missed Jaskier is a milestone in his character. Sometimes people require more patience to grow, its up to those that give that patience whether or not they are able to give that. Yes, i have my own apologies even if they were more brief than hers. I struggle with explaining myself and being in touch with my own emotions other than my rage and i wasn't at the level of torment that Geralt went through. Sometimes trying is enough for people to give their friends another chance. People don't change over night, mistakes happen. It sounds like you're one to hold a grudge and resentment which isn't healthy.

@@k.h.691 Yes, I can hold a grudge or resentment because some people don't deserve forgiveness because they don't bother to earn it. I am glad, that you are trying. That is the whole point. Geralt in contrast is not trying at all. That is what I wanted to emphasize: Geralt is not putting any effort in changing the pattern that leads him to treat Jaskier badly. He is continuing like he did before the mountain. There is no change in him. Is it really that hard to cut back the insults, to not give rude side eyes at Jaskier, not belittling him at every moment, just saying a sincere "thanks" once in a while? Geralt got all teary eyed when Yennefer appeared, got all emotional and visibly relieved that she was well but towards Jaskier there was just indifference and annoyance. As always. A change over night I don't expect, no. But a change over months or at least a year, should be doable and the minimum.

@@BlackKiryuu I disagree, perhaps you have a hard time with subtle gestures. To me, Geralt did seem remorseful of his actions. Compared to season one, Geralt would not have stood there and took everything Jaskier was saying from the heart when he had things off his chest to say to Geralt. He stood after Jaskier made it clear "no you listen to me now" and Geralt listened even despite him wanting to avoid it. Friends sometimes have a level of understanding when someone is trying to do right and sometimes to other people that might not be enough. You're definition of friendship and conditions to that friendship might be a great deal different than someone else's. If Jaskier felt like Geralt was hurting him, there is nothing holding Jaskier back from leaving. People have different requirements for friends, what seems like a friend to you may not seem like one to another. I know for myself, I can be quite the shit friend at times especially when i get overwhelmed with anger. However I have friends in my life who understand I have a hard time with my anger and know when I snap its not intentional. It took me five years to handle my anger and even today i still slip, especially since i used to isolate myself and aggressively push people out of my life. I am thankful to my friends who stand by me despite how ugly i can be unintentionally because they know i try. No one but Jaskier knows if Geralt's trying, thats good enough for me.

@@BlackKiryuu You clearly can't tell the difference between an emotional state of friendship vs a state of romance. Geralts feelings for Yen are VERY different compared to his feelings for Jaskier. Geralt and Jaskier are two shit talking friends, but Geralt and Yennefer are, or were, lovers. Not to mention he had thought Yen was dead, obviously the emotional reactions would've been different. Could Geralt do better? Yes, absolutely, but there was a massive change between S1 Geralt and S2 Geralt, if you can't see that i can't help you

I think so, the OST versions of the songs are completely different from the ones in the show.

I'd bet my money that he is - Joey's an incredibly talented singer! There's a video of him performing live in a forest for his band, and he sounds almost exactly like he does in studio recordings.

Yup it's him

I think he sings live during the takes, yes. If you look closely at the 'burn butcher burn' scene, you can see his breath (the set was always cold it seems ) and it's obvious he's singing live.

They might've dubbed it over but idk

Well, apart from that one punch to the stomach when they first met!

And the wish

Romance

This was from the interview r8 . Loved it

It reminds me of a Witcher 3 Game mission where the player as Geralt has to free Dandelion (Jaskier).

now i have image in my head of Jaskier singing a medieval version 'my boyfriends back and your gonna be in trouble' :P

Well... this did not age well

Honestly, I think that's what makes it realistic. When you're really close with someone, especially someone you consider family/kin...you can have the worst fights and be hunky dory in 3-5 business days. That's how it is with my siblings and kin lol

@@AlizEdits27 I actually think it wasn’t that simple. I can tell from Geralt’s body language and the way he talks that he does regret how he treated Jaskier, but at the time he said what he did, he was hurting really bad. I don’t think Geralt feels it excuses him at all though. For all we know, he might have gone so long without talking to Jaskier because he was ashamed and didn’t know how to say it. It might be why Geralt didn’t make any real complaints about Jaskier’s antics this season. That and he knows he can count on Jaskier.

It's just the camera angle that makes Jaskier look taller in this particular shot, because Joey Batey is stood closer to the camera. In reality, Henry Cavill is actually 2 inches taller than Joey. Henry is 6'1" whilst Joey is 5'11".
