Aydin Paladin !♥♥ ✔ @AydinPaladin Dec 13 Ignoring the "uglification" of Ciri, which is just par for the course now, nothing about this makes sense. Women cannot drink Witcher potions because females cannot survive the Trial of the Grasses. Barely any males can. Ciri was trained briefly in combat by the Witchers at Kaer Morhen, but mostly because they had no idea how else to raise a child. They gave her herbs to enhance her strength, but they never gave her the mutagens. I say she was trained briefly because when she reached puberty, the guys similarly had no idea what to do with a teenage girl, and given that her uncontrolable magical powers started manifesting at the same time, Geralt asked Triss for help, but there wasn't much she could do either. She was then briefly taken in by Yenn and trained in magic, largely unsuccessfully. No more Witcher training. Ciri IS skilled in swordsmanship, as evidenced by her time surviving in the Rats, but she is neither a Witcher nor a Witch. She's Hen Ichaer, a universe-traveling elf-blood that is a conduit of raw magic, which is why she cannot use Witcher signs either despite repeated attempts to teach her. Perhaps even more importantly, after Geralt and Yenn's deaths, Ciri dips out of the entire Witcher universe and into that of Arthurian legend in disgust with her home world. She doesn't just leave the Continent, she leaves the entire damned setting. This is the lore of the books, I've not bothered to watch the show, but idk how you can read Lady of the Lake and even fathom this being Ciri's future. →IGN @IGN Ciri takes the mantle in The Witcher 4.

If you really "need" female Witchers (you don't), a far less egregious retcon would be that the Cat school figured it out or that such a unique mutagen process was lost by the time the Saga began, as it was for the Wolf school's along with Vesemir. I would still think it's stupid, but FAR less stupid than just reskinning Geralt as Ciri and whatever b------- excuse they end up giving for why an adult woman can become a Witcher (spoiler alert: "It's Elder Blood, I ain't gotta explain s---" will be the excuse). If we're playing as Ciri then that means 1) signs: out 2) sword styles: out 3) potions: out, in which case it's not a Witcher game, it's a cash-grab. I love this dysfunctional fictional family of misfits. It's my favourite fantasy setting just because I love these characters and their dynamic so much. Go do something else with the universe Polish GRRM stole from Michael Moorcock, you hack frauds. Rajhara hayas t 117 159 58 ♥1,724 Aydin Paladin !♥♥ @Aydin Paladin Dec 13 I'm puttin' together a compilation of the most insane responses to my lore issues with the Witcher 4 trailer, wherein I start by saying I don't actually care about Ciri being made "ugly", and so far this is the winner. I mean, goddamn, time-travel s--- aside, Ciri is 21. Lauri @uldreg. 48s Replying to @AydinPaladin "uglification of ciri" shut the f--- up, you're retarded. If you found any sexual tingle with ciri then that means you're a p-------- and completely missed the intent of the character being a f------ daughter you gaylord. 23 61 359 554 ♥844 Aydin Paladin ♥♥† ✔ @AydinPaladin Dec 13 I made a video years ago "debunking" a study that had been making the rounds on socmed about the existence of "human NPCs"; people with no real thoughts, no object permanence, no inner monologue, etc, because that's not what the study really evidenced the way it was being talked about, however, it is shocking how there really do appear to be script-people. Even in a post where I said in the first line that I don't care about Ciri looking older in TW4 and then just explain the lore issues I have received now, within hours, hundreds of one of the following responses: "1. You're a man (often from people with trans flags which is very amusing), 2. You're an incel and more astonishingly, PDF, 3. You're a tourist/casual, 4. it's just a stupid fantasy game why do you care?, 5. It's not even out yet, you have to eat the turd before you critique anything about it." I mean, it's frankly astonishing. They actually do not have unique thoughts, just canned responses. As a social scientist, it's fascinating, but good Lord, is it also depressing to witness. I think I was wrong about that human NPC thing. WAS 00 195 235 55 10 2,430 Aydin Paladin !♥ @AydinPaladin WOAH this is amazing. How did I gain this power? the special @brattysattva imagine the reaction if a woman said that she was a "PhD student in Communication emphasis on Games Studies" Aydin Paladin ♥ Replying to @Trader Retard @AydinPaladin - 1h I was a PhD student in Communication emphasis on Games Studies, yes, but I don't need to eat a turd on a plate to know if its a turd while you're s------- on the table in front of me. 4:48 PM - Dec 13, 2024 - 34 Views 27 ♡ 1 ធ 71 Post your reply Reply Aydin Paladin ♥ But I am a woman. 0 27 ♡ @AydinPaladin - Now the special @brattysattva - 9m the comment section would be full of r--- threats fr © 102 72 552 ♥1,460 2z ♡ ill 10 I Dec 13 @AydinPaladin 13h Aydin Paladin♥♥ Last thing I hope to say about the Witcher ATM is that I deeply love this franchise and I just don't want to see it in the graveyard of everything else in fiction I cared about like Star Trek and Doctor Who. I am, apparently, one of very few English-speaking people who read the books and I wanna explain why I love those books. Sapkowski may be a content thief, but wowee can he write good characters. Going from Yenn calling Ciri ugly to weeping and holding her after thinking she was dead and saying "my little ugly one" is so powerful. It's just a sad story about a broken family trying desperately to find each other in the chaos of war. If you can find the time, please read or listen to the Witcher books. They're not high art. They're highly disturbing in many ways, but the underlying narrative of family is always there, be it with Yenn, Geralt & Ciri or the Hansa or even the Rats, sorta. It's such a good story about family and friendship that the magic and monster slaying really falls by the wayside. It's an excellent modern fantasy tragedy, and I love it, hence why I'm protective of it. 42 341 554 ♥701 World's Best Mom!
