  • I wish that were the case. I’m chronically ill and there are times that I really can’t stand for long periods as I get frail. I don’t look typically ill as I’m relatively young (27) and at look I look healthy but my illness is internal and bowel related so I’m not going to look disabled or infirm unless things have been really bad and I’ve lost a dramatic amount of weight. Basically what I’m trying to say is that there are those of us who are ill who don’t match most people’s idea of illness and so won’t be asked despite some of us really needing a seat some days.


  • In the books yen uses magic to hide her hunchback and ugliness. Geralt being a Witcher and therefore trained/experienced to analyse magic in front of him quickly sees through the illusion. If the show had the character look uglier to begin with then that’s probably a result of adapting the books. I haven’t watched the show as I don’t really like adaptations. Btw it’s not just Yen that uses magic to hide ugliness either, almost all other sorceresses do as well in the books including Triss.
