i gave in and finally made a six of crows sideblog so i have somewhere to cry on april 23 • im just here to scream about my dregs feel free to join in • i like going silent for long periods of time and then randomly getting possessed to reblog kanej every four months or so(she/her)
thinking about how, as a child, kaz’s favorite trick seemed to be watching something disappear, and then he grew up and fell in love with a girl who could vanish into thin air, and how we’re told that when he looks at inej, he feels like a boy again and believes that there’s still magic in the world. imagine loving magic all your life, and then discovering that magic loved you too.
Kaz and Inej obviously get married one day because she’s religious and Kaz wants the tax benefits + he wants to make her happy, and I just know when that day comes Kaz takes HER last name
"Two of the deadliest people the Barrel had to offer and they could barely touch each other without both of them keeling over. But they tried. He tried. Maybe they could try again."
That scene in crooked kingdom where Kaz refuses Nina’s plea to help the grisha escape and then Inej gives him a look and says something along the lines “rack that massive brain of yours and figure it out or I’m out” and he agreed in front of everyone. He’s so pathetically in love there’s no way the other crows weren’t side-eyeing. Someone pls find this scene for me🙏🏼

no I don’t think some of you guys understand. the “Kaz is Wylan’s father figure” dynamic can never work.
it inherently infantilizes Wylan, who is only 2 years younger than Kaz at MOST, taking away his agency and the importance of his arc, putting him back in the position of someone naive to the world and in need of direction. it completely erased the way that Wylan is often the only one who will confront Kaz on subjects like Inej’s kidnapping or Oomen.
it poisons the Kaz-Wylan dynamic, undoing the common ground that they find with one another as disabled people who don’t need to be coddled, who can or do take advantage of being underestimated.
it belittles Kaz’s character to the emo boy with a heart of gold that he isn’t, but you all want him to be. Kaz is troubled and complex and extremely morally gray, with motivations that aren’t unsympathetic but definitely aren’t caring. he can care, and he does, in his own way, but that is never his primary motivation until the very end of his arc, primarily in regards to Inej. Kaz isn’t in a place to ‘parent’ anyone, no matter how metaphorical, until he gets much further into healing his own inner child and learning to trust, which he’s only taking baby steps towards by the end of Crooked Kingdom.
