also, re: the Witcher, I agree 1000% about Jaskier. I cringe all through his S1 scenes, but literally as soon as Yennefer figured it out and gave that little smile, I felt my heart lift.
I rewatched S1 right before S2, and as best as I can figure out, the elves were all spread out and in hiding, because they'd been conquered everywhere, but REALLY conquered in Cintra. Like, the ex-king dude is literally elf in "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher", and they were all "we need to figure shit out" and then, you know, the northern kingdoms started arresting them, so they HAD to go to Cintra, and then they realized they HAD to fight. Sort of. But yes: kind of a mess. But a believable one? Like, I believe they're very fucked.
