[thread] usually i ship cp based on the potential they have, if i could imagine a good story for them from existing canon material. it doesn't have to be that they r good or perfect for each other. it's the potential i care about. which is the case with emhyr/geralt.
there r few ppl Emhyr feels the need to apologize or explain himself to, Geralt in my opinion is the most special case in the already special cases. their interaction at Stygga castle made me feel like Emhyr was ashamed he more or less let Geralt down.
Geralt saw him in beast form & knew he was not a monster, even saved him, yet in his quest for revenge Emhyr became the thing Geralt did not see him as to begin w/. Stygga castle is the turning point where it registered to Emhyr he'd turn out like the monster that hurt him before
all that made their interaction in the game kinda off to me at first. but that could also be read as Emhyr being bothered by his own feeling, and decide to shut it down by trying to treat Geralt like everyone else
so it's just a matter of if you could see them as two ppl with a lot of history, unexpectedly linked by destiny from the beginning to the end. i feel like there are many potentials to tell their stories in different ways, and i like how others have explored them so far.
personally i'd like to see Emhyr has a proper redemption arc and tries to prove to Geralt he's worthy of the trust Geralt had in him all those years ago. it doesn't need to be grand or obvious, i like that their relationship is kinda ambigous, but i'd like to see it.
i think my point in making this thread is i want ppl to know emhyr/geralt does not fall down from no where, that there is in fact stories to work with them. i don't talk about it often but im very aware of the hate this ship has, and what some ppl r talking abt me behind my back
plus a lot follow me for my general fanarts, not shippy ones, so i guess i want to explain why i keep babbling about this one ship more than the others. i hope this clears up any confusion anyone might have :D
