im such a sucker for any parental relationships in media and it always pains me to see twn described philippa and tissaia’s relationship as friendship when it has always been estranged mother-daughter angst.

Myanna Buring in City Rats (2009)

what are the girls getting tissaia for mother’s day:

yennefer: the poisoned source book copy highlighting the part where tissaia said one must choose if they want to be a sorceress or a mother with a note saying “you made some funny choices after all, happy mother’s day”

triss: a coupon for a “fun day with triss” that she’d never bother to cash in because triss would just show up and drag her out every other weekend

sabrina: a mug thats says “best mom ever” as a joke and tissaia did roll her eyes when she received it but she also makes tea in it every morning without fail

keira: she stole her old pipe three summers ago and regift it—because LOOK being a village witch does not come with a lot of money okay???

philippa: a frame picture of herself “so you don’t forget whose the biggest disappointment was” (she makes it her life mission to disappoint tissaia more and more after the coup) and of course it’s still hanging on tissaia’s office to this day

mother's daughter or motherless daughter?

Postliminary Conversations

always thought that Silco became a council member in the ep 7 AU... I would've loved to see him interact w/ Mel or Cassandra 🥹🥹🥹

i thought i wouldn’t find another mother/daughter relationship in media that hits me as hard as melina and natasha but tissaia and yennefer came barreling towards me at full speed and i’ve done nothing but purposefully walk slower and stare them down until they hit me

You... you saved me. I won't ever forget that.

It's your turn... to save these people, this continent. This... is your legacy.
