We’ve all been pretending it isn’t coming, but with The Witcher Season 3, Part 1 already here, and Part 2 coming in just a few weeks, it’s time to start preparing for reality. Henry Cavill is departing the role of Geralt of Rivia, whether we want it or not. And considering the reaction when this was announced, it’s safe to say most of people don’t want it – and that’s not even a knock on Liam Hemsworth. But since we don’t actually possess any magic and can’t change reality, all we can do is prepare for what’s coming, in the best way possible.
So, here are five things you need to prepare for the loss of Henry Cavill on The Witcher …and for Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia, though we have some time for that still.
Something sweet to snack on
Not everything in life can be solved with food, but there are few things that cannot be made better with some sugar. And we even have different options for you, depending on what you like. Sometimes we’re in the mood for chocolate – and Yes Cacao has some options that are pretty tasty and organic, too! But if that doesn’t hit the spot for you, you can just prepare ahead and order cookies from Little Red Kitchen Bake Shop. You’ve got a couple of weeks before the new episodes.
Or, if you’re like me, you can get through one or two of these Chunk Nibbles while binge-watching. My personal favorite? S’mores.
A Candle that …smells like Henry Cavill?
Look, we’re of the who are we to judge school of thought. And like, who even knows what Henry Cavill smells like? We’ve been near him and all, but like …yeah, we’re not gonna go there. We didn’t try to smell him or anything. But hey, it looks like a nice candle, and if this brings you comfort, who are we to judge? It is a thing that exists. And now you know that it does.

A Geralt of Rivia Funko Pop, so you never forget the Original Witcher
There are a few versions, but this might just be our favorite one. And people might say Funko pops are kind of generic, but if you ask us, this one kind of looks like Cavill. You can also imagine Geralt grunting at Ciri or Yaskier when he’s dressed like this. Or, you know, saying his favorite word. We’re going to miss a lot of things, but we might miss that most of all.
And there are Yennefer Funkos too, so, like …we’re not saying our Geralt Funko will remain next to our Yennefer Funko, guarding our Ciri Funko, because …I mean, do we even have to say it?
A comfy blanket to cuddle with
A good blanket makes even bad news better. We can’t explain it, it just is. That’s why blanket forts have such power. Under the blankets, the bad news can’t really touch you. So, maybe, if we hide under the blankets, Henry Cavill isn’t really leaving? One can hope. But if not, at least one can be warm and comfortable as one watches the last few episodes of our favorite trio together.
Plus, maybe it’ll come in handy if we have to hide and pretend things aren’t happening come Season 4. Just saying.
The Last Song Movie DVD/Blu-ray
Look, this is more a Liam Hemsworth thing, but we gotta prepare for the future… and that future has Hemsworth as the new romantic lead of The Witcher, so it’s best to try to get into the right vibes. For that, we can’t go watching The Hunger Games. That didn’t go all that well for him. Or Gale. And we gotta actively avoid real-life stuff. And since we don’t trust streaming these days, physical copies of movies are better. So yeah, maybe this movie, plus some facial hair and what we know is a lot more muscle will work for us and the show?
