This. Scene. Right. Here.
This scene is so underrated. Weโve just met Jaskier in this episode, but within minutes we find out that this bard is confident and well educated. As he and Geralt are trekking through the land looking for the Devil of Posada, we hear Jaskier say a line thatโs seemingly unimportant, just more of his ramblings. He says โThe elves called this Dol Blathanna before bequeathing it to the humans and retreating to their golden palaces in the mountains. There I go again, justโฆdelivering exposition.โ This is information that he prides himself in knowing, most likely taught to him during his time in Oxenfurt. He can even speak Elder, not a common trait for humans. Oxenfurt taught him their language, but the information they gave him is wrong. Itโs the teaching of humans, not the truth.ย The scene above is the exact moment that Jaskier realizes everything he knew about the elves was wrong. Filavandrel tells Jaskier and Geralt that they were forced from their homes and starving, forced to ask a sylvan to steal for them for survival. Jaskier learns that it was humans that forced the elves into unlivable conditions. Everything was stolen from them, their land, their magic, their lives.ย
And I think this was the exact moment that Jaskier chose to follow Geralt. Not because of the stories he would learn and could sing, not because Geralt was good for exposure and protection, but because Jaskier had just learned that elves, witchers, and creatures alike were never the real monsters.ย
Humans were the real monsters all along.ย
And if what humans said made people like Geralt a monster, he would rather choose to follow a monster Every. Single. Time.ย

First and foremost I want to send all the love in the world directly to @thetravelerwrites who has kept up these master lists.
