all I can think of with the “they’re not talking” is that they’re going to passive-aggressively talking to each other through other people

“Maggie, would you mind terribly asking Crowley to please stop going 90 in Central London?”

“Nina, would you MiNd tErRiBLy to tell the Supreme Arsehole that if I go too fast for him, that he can get out of my car?”

here's the thing about matthias: he isn't the honorable, reformed hero some of the fandom seems to see him as.

yes, he was raised by a tight-knit family of comrade soldiers and decides to betray them in the end. of course that took incredible strength. i don't deny that. but we also need to recognize that the drüskelle are not just some rogue cult. they are a core part of the fjerdan government, who is trying to wipe out the grisha because they are seen as dangerous. that's literally just genocide. however indoctrinated someone is, this is something that is evil from every angle, even if the character can't or won't see it.

and look, i love a good redemption arc, but matthias is such a passive actor in his. he falls in love with nina against his will. she changes his attitudes toward grisha because she's beautiful and kind so all grisha can't be bad, right? this a classic example of the trope of separating the "good ones" from the rest, where you cherry-pick specific individuals to point to as exceptions to a group's nature, which is still implied to be evil. you have to do a lot more than fall in love to truly unearth and address the roots of bigotry.

tbh, this is my biggest critique of the books as a whole. i loathe the "love conquers all" trope that pairs together a character from the oppressed group and one from the oppressors, letting the one show the other through the power of love that being bigoted is not nice. it puts all the responsibility on the former to prove their humanity, and gives all the credit to the latter's ability to be persuaded to recognize it. and then it inevitably leads to forgiveness, because the character has "earned" it by changing their views, once again making the victim seem like the villain if they don't absolve the oppressor of their past "mistakes". also, it's incredibly unrealistic for someone to fall in love with a person who actively hates them and considers them sub-human. in real life, people have to work on their bigotry before that happens, not use the relationship as a plot device for character development.

i think the idea of writing a character like matthias is neat. i think portraying someone's struggle to throw off the suffocating, hateful dogma they've been fed all their life is a story we need more of. i think personal growth of this variety should be celebrated, because otherwise people would never change. but i don't think the people, fictional or real, get to do this without facing profound consequences. it is not enough to feel sorry. it is not enough to apologize. it is definitely not enough to fall in love. and i think writing that lets people off the hook like this grossly oversimplifies power and oppression, and ends up being a feel-good way to romanticize people who cause a lot of harm.

a last note: my opinion is 100% influenced by my being bipoc. matthias is a classic aryan supremacist, even if being aryan isn't the thing he's being supremacist about. my gut reaction to that type of character is always going to be mistrust, both because people in real life have given me reason to be mistrustful and because characters like these are often written in a way that makes you sympathize with oppressors. i don't think matthias earns that trust, and i don't see why i owe him my affection as a reader.

#i know i'm usually a 'haha silly little textpost' blog (and don't get me wrong i still am) but this has been on my mind for a while #to be clear i don't think you have to hate him as a character to be a morally upstanding person #and there's nothing inherently wrong about relating to him either #but i do think we as a fandom (a very white one at that) need to acknowledge this #especially because it carries over beyond fiction #stories are powerful and the messages we take from them stick with us even after we close the book #plus even by the end he still is very bigoted #and i realize that he would have had more time to work on himself if he hadn't... y'know #but that's why i like fanon matthias a lot better #he's usually further along in his unlearning process or he actually has to experience that process in a realistically painful way #in fact i really *like* matthias fanon where he actually grapples with his hatred and comes out a better person for it when it's done well #i.e. when he isn't simply forgiven by everyone (especially nina) because he says sowwy #i am thankful to leigh bardugo for creating this universe AND i think she fumbled the matthias redemption arc #nuance!! it exists!!! #ok rant over #also absolutely NO calahan hate on this post #in this house we do not equate characters with their actors #soc #soc spinoff #matthias helvar #helnik #nina zenik #sab #six of crows #save six of crows #save shadow and bone #shadow and bone #crooked kingdom #grishaverse

Lil crow hc I've had in mind for a while

Kaz, pointing at his broken cane: So.

Kaz: who broke it?

the rest of the crows: *absolute and utter silence*

Kaz: I'm not mad, I just want to know

Inej, immediately: I did it. I broke i-

Kaz: No. No, you didnt.

Kaz: Jesper?

Jesper: Don't look at me, look at Matthias

Matthias: WHAT

Matthias: I didn't break it

Jesper: huh, that's weird... how'd you even know it was broken then, huh?

Matthias: because it's sitting right in front of us AND THE DEMJIN SAID IT'S BROKEN

Jesper: suspicious.

Matthias: the only thing suspicious is why Kaz is actually asking us instead of manipulating us into confessing.

The Crows: *absolutely silent*

Kuwei, piping up from literally nowhere: If- if it matters, probably not but um, Wylan was the last one to touch it.

Wylan: liar. I don't touch Kaz's things, I dont have a fucking death wish.

Kuwei: oh really? Then what were you doing by his room earlier?

Wylan: I was practicing self defence with Jes's guns and KAZ IS THE ONLY ONE PARANOID ENOUGH TO HAVE A BULLETPROOF ROOM.

Jesper: to be fair, Wy has terrible aim, he needs the bulletproof room.

Wylan: YEAH, everyone knows that, Kuwei.

Inej: alright alright, let's not fight, I broke it, so I'll pay for it, Kaz.

Kaz:

Kaz: no.

Kaz: who broke it?

Jesper, lowering his voice: Kaz

Jesper: Nina has been awfully quiet

Nina: oh wow, REALLY JES

Jesper: yeah really

Nina: I thought we were fucking friends, Jes.

*cue the commotion as Matthias very loudly takes Nina's side and Wylan takes Jesper's side*

*everyone starts arguing*

Kaz: I broke it.

Kaz: A splinter from the wood poked my hand so I broke it over my knee and didn't regret a second.

Kaz: but I predict that 10 minutes from now they'll be at each others throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.

Kaz: I'm bored and I need entertainment.

[whysopasta]

i read nina the killer for the first time a few days ago and honestly it is a perfect sequel to the original jeff the killer story. poorly written by someone who is definitely in either late elementary school or middle school, with absurd plot decisions and bizarre story structure, but so earnest and confident in its presentation that i couldn't help but love it. nina is an 11-year-old scene girl who can dodge bullets with ease. jeff the killer shows up at her house to light her on fire and she's like yeah awesome let's go. technically uses she/he pronouns because the grammar is a mess. and honestly in the hands of a more skilled writer, the concept of a fangirl idolizing a serial killer who ends up desensitized to the concept of murder and committing those same atrocities could be made into an interesting commentary on the impact of the true crime genre and the harm that turning tragedy into a commodified spectacle meant for personal enjoyment can cause
