Yeah I absolutely don't agree with the take. The reason Kaz isn't a pimp isn't that the book are YA. It's because his entire drive is based on getting revenge for what Pekka Rollins did to him and his brother. They were used as workers, exploited, and tossed aside. Kaz does many bad things, but the one thing we never see him do that distinguishes him from other Barrell Bosses is exploit the people who work for him. He has them undertake extreme risks, yes, but always with informed and agreed upon compensation.

He makes sure people know what they're getting into (i.e. making sure Inej understands the terms of her contract with Per Haskell). He gives people a fair cut of the money (like the Crows, Rotty and Specht). He gives people the chance to turn jobs down (at the beginning of the Ice Court Heist).

In Ketterdam, prostitution is inherently exploitive. Some of the most successful brothels engage in trafficking children. Inej was a child at the Menagerie. And no one bats an eye. The workers there can't even read the contracts they sign in some cases. And this is at the most legal, respected sex work establishment in Ketterdam. They are literally hosted at the Ice Court for a diplomatic event. It's all culturally accepted.

So yeah. The reason Kaz wouldn't be a pimp in Ketterdam is that at his core he detests exploiting workers to make a profit. The sex work industry in Ketterdam is poisoned with that kind of corruption. The only way I could ever see Kaz engaging in it is if he burned the whole industry to the ground first.

Hot take: the only reason Kaz isn’t a pimp is that it’s a YA novel. Kaz would be a great pimp: he keeps his bargains so he’d never take more than his percentage; if anybody hurt you or even just tried to stiff you he’d beat the shit out of them and make sure everyone knew about it so it wouldn’t happen again; he would never try to get your services himself. The only downside is that he’d be really bad at talking you up outside of the vaguest innuendos because he’s the most virginal man in Ketterdam. I kind of want to write a one-shot where young Kaz interviews for a potentially lucrative position as a procurer with the Ketterdam Prostitute’s Guild, and completely stalls out during the doing-publicity portion because they ask him to praise a lady of the night to a potential customer and all he can come up with is pretty. Sure, he’s heard dirty talk, but he’s only got a weak understanding of what it refers to and he knows he’ll humiliate himself irreparably if he fucks it up. As the ladies look at him incredulously, he sweatily attempts to go further with pretty hair. His voice breaks as he adds, looks soft? He gets so brutally rejected that he swears off the business forever.

Every day those skeleton lesbians are on my dash beating the shit out of each other or making out or playing mario kart. I don't even know what kind of media the locked tomb is. Is it a tv series? A collection of plushies? A webcomic? A limited edition beverage with an oddly detailed lore behind it? Perchance. All of these questions and more could be solved by a simple google search, yet I kind of like having something that I have no context for - or understanding of - cross my dash occasionally. Adds a bit of spice. McGriddle and Shark? I hope they get gay married. I hope this isn't a queerbaiting situation or whatever. I hope they have lots of skeleton babies and their coffee shop continues to thrive. I hope they finally kill the onceler.

the problem with griddlehark is that Gideon desperately wants to be a well used chewtoy but Harrow has carefully put her up on the shelf like she is a limited edition funko pop still in the box

Dracula: Hm, that human mother is being super annoying about her dead kid at the gate. How do I fix that? Wolves? I’ll say wolves.

Dracula: What’s that? My good friend Jonathan Harker wants to leave ahead of schedule? Think I’ll do some wolves about that.

Dracula: Damn, seems that old Dutchman has blocked off one (1) single window with garlic blossoms and now this one (1) specific girl in all of England is barred from me. Maybe I should use my title and/or some invented pretense to cajole the girl’s mother into letting me in. Or maybe I could just move on to a different victim out of the nigh endless blood buffet I specifically moved here to enjoy, none of whom have a small legion of blood donors and vampire-proofing scholars on their side.

characters who dig themselves out of their graves (whether literal or metaphorical) are at the top of the list. nothing beats a character who should have died but didn't and comes back to haunt their own life and the world around them, benevolent or violent it doesn't matter, it's enthralling either way
