Whoopsy daisy I made a Shadow and Bone random thoughts post:

The costumes in this show are impeccable. I was drooling over all the keftas and the ball gowns in 1.05 and the crow outfits. Hell, even the winter-camo outfits that Mal, Mikhael and Dubrov wore in 1.04 were amazing.

Am I the only one who isn’t surprised by the kruge pronounciation? Because I thought it would sound like how English people say Scandinavian words and I wasn’t wrong.

Coming in to this show as someone who had only read the Six of Crows duology, I expected to at least tolerate Malina based on the trailer clips. I kid you not: less than five minutes into the very first episode they owned my ass. That might be a new record for me.

Seriously the friendship? The pining? The finding home in each other and being able to acknowledge their faults and apologize to each other? Both of them having massive “fight me” energy and protecting each other? Hugs?? Why am I surprised that I ship this?

Some of those scene transitions/flashback edits were so good! Like I know they repeated that meadow scene a lot throughout the season, but the cuts from kid-Mal looking at the rabbit to grown up Mal psyching himself up for the fist fight? Poetic cinema.

The Darkling was horrible and I love it. He wasn’t a carbon copy villain, nor did his complexity redeem him. He was a perfectly complex and understandable monster and I am living for it. I have not been so happy to despise a character in ages and I genuinely bow in gratitude to both the writers and Ben Barnes, because I finally got to enjoy watching a character I did not for one second root for ( #writevillainswellagain)

Look I already loved Jesper in the book but his on-screen translation elevated him from a fave to the fave. I was worried that they would push him into a comedic relief-role, but he got to keep both his heart, his depth, and his humour. Kit Young did an amazing job bringing what was already a great character on page to an even greater character on screen and I once again applaud.

Am I a bit bitter that the casting had some interesting choices for certain roles (aka hiring light skin and mid-size actors for explicitly darker skin and plus-size roles)? Kind of. Do I think there are important discussions worth having about this? Yup. Do I also think that every actor hired for Shadow and Bone did an amazing job and deserve zero hate and massive amounts of love? Also yes.

I had Alexei for one episode and one episode only, and I still miss that poor sucker. This show did a surprisingly good job with making me care about a massive amount of characters considering the screen time they had and the amount of episodes this season had. Good job.

For some reason I expected Inej to be a lot more brooding based on how I perceived her in the books but I love what Amita Suman did with her. Her translation completely recontextualised everything I remember from the books and just brought this truly fresh character to life. Assassin with a conscience indeed.

Also I did love the Kaz we got in this season but I can barely contain myself as I wait for season 2 to be made and for a certain flashback to take place because that moment in the book was visceral and it stayed with me for a long time and I knew before the show announcement that this flashback could become a television moment.

Speaking of Kaz the crows were so chaotic and messy and I’m here for it. Their interactions with each other and their improvised back-up plans were everything. I somehow didn’t expect the crows to become the comedic relief of the season but it honestly makes so much sense.

A couple episodes in I still didn’t get the Zoya hype (remember I haven’t read the books) but was a massive Genya fan. By the end of the season I was like “oh both of these girls are getting redemption arcs and I am here for it”.

Speaking of redemption I still don’t like Matthias. I’m sorry but I just don’t. I get that he is important to many and that they like his relationship with Nina, but I just don’t have the patience for him and feel like Nina can do better. I still want him to get a redemption... but maybe not through a romance with the grisha woman he repeatedly slutshames, is bigoted towards and chokes at least once (twice if that SoC scene from book 1 happens). That being said this is just how I see him, so feel what ever you feel about him and ship to your heart’s content!

Alina’s journey through this season made complete sense to me. It hurt to see certain things, but they were necessary in my eyes. Seeing her go from this essentially insecure but brave girl to a manipulated pawn to an even stronger and more self reliant girl in spite of everything was amazing. It did feel like a well-written hero’s journey and I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes next.

Apparently a lot of book-readers don’t like Mal (and I am not here to change anyone’s mind about that) but the Mal I saw on the show was amazing. I actually kind of wish we had seen more of who he was outside of his relationship to Alina (f.ex. other flashbacks than the meadow, maybe something about any of his missions while separated from Alina pre-show), but I also loved what we got of him with Alina. We still got to see a guy who was brave, stubborn, flirtatious, a bit judgemental but with a strong sense of humour, and a lot of loyalty (to Alina but also to his friends). I can hardly wait to see what’s next for him.

Milo the goat. Where do I even begin. Not only did we get that Jesper-scene, but their farewell actually became a Chekhov’s gun for Mal in 1.07? Milo is the true hero of the season.

Speaking of 1.07 I loved the tent scene between Alina and the Darkling. She both got to be realistic about her feelings for the Darkling and stand up for herself and for others and call him out. The way I interpret the Darkling, he is the kind of villain who creates a saviour narrative around himself but cares more about power than anything else. He’ll say he’s doing everything to protect his people but is the first to kill the very people he claims to love. And Alina’s tent-speech really hammered that in for me.

I adore Baghra. Is she morally dubious? Yes. Was she incredibly mean to Alina during training to the point where it might have been excessive? Yes. Did she not take any of the Darkling’s bullshit and act as the proper mentor for Alina when the Darkling had said that he was going to train her? Yes. Am I kind of a Baghra stan now? I mean maybe.

The antler-collar was so evil and gross but from a visually narrative stand point it was perfect.

Also I still have no idea who David is but I want redemption for him too. Honestly I feel like half the supporting cast is gearing up for redemption arcs next season and I am excited for most of them.

Nina’s reaction when she hears Kaz on the boat? Priceless. Actually the whole boat scene from when she goes up on deck again to the cut back to the fold was priceless.

That being said the final scene had me even more ready for season 2.

Jesper kind of gave me messy period-fantasy James Bond? Does that make sense?

And Mal kind of gave me Lois Lane energy? As in he’s the mortal love interest that many assume is the hero/heroine’s weakness but actually functions as their emotional strength and inspiration? Am I reaching here or am I getting somewhere?

Mikhael and Dubrov. What a duo. Absolute madlads.

Also I’d like to see more Nadia if that is possible? Because the few scenes we had of her had me intrigued but then she sort of disappeared? Is she going to be important or was she just more of a temporary supporting character?

I entered this show a casual Six of Crows fan with mild interest in Kanej and I finished this season a mess. A mess who ships Kanej and Malina and Genya with that David guy even though they had about 30 seconds of screentime together and Zoya with redemption and Jesper with main-character status (hey we’re not getting Wylan until season 2 at least) and kind of those two Ravkan army guys and Nina with anyone else and Matthias with a better redemption storyline and the Darkling with karma! Also, a mess with a whole new set of comfort characters!

Happy Wesper Week! We are doing a Wylan POV because I can’t write charm at all. This is a modern AU bachelor party. The grisha powers exist but everything else is made into there real life equivalent

TW very brief mentions of sex trafficking.

What am I doing here? Wylan thought to himself

When his boyfriend Jesper insisted on throwing there good friend Matthias a bachelor party Wylan thought maybe they would go to a nice bar or play some party games

Not get crazy drunk, Not set fire to the Dutch Garden, not get chased by cops, not perform a gas station heist and not catch one of his best friends making out with a gas station cashier

However it seemed the universe didn’t care for the thoughts of little ole Wylan Hendricks

“Let’s get this party started!” The Australian yelled

Wylan had to remindhimself he loved his boyfriend Jesper

“Can you not shout?” Matthias, the groom to be, begged

Wylan, Jesper, and there friends Kaz and Kuwei were throwing a bachelor party for Matthias

It took a lot to convince the Norwegian that this was indeed a great idea

Wylan had never been to a bachelor party before but he was excited for his boyfriend who adored them

“Do we really have to go to this bar Jesper?” Kaz groaned seeing the crazy bright neon sign

After years of knowing Kaz Brekker Wylan could tell that Kaz was cursing Inej for telling him to come

Nevertheless the boys all walk in and start ordering shots

“Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!” The boys chanted egging on Kaz and Matthias drinking contest

Well it was mostly Jesper and Kuwei chanting Wylan after having a couple drinks was staring at the twinkle in Jespers eyes

He really was beautiful Wylan thought to himself

Wylan attended the University of Amsterdam to mostly escape his father.

There he met his lifelong friends

Matthias a grumpy international exchange student who grew up in a very prominent and dangerous cult in Norway. He wants to be a Norwegian ambassador

Nina Zenik, a heartrender turned corpse witch who was actually a russian spy back in the day. Now she’s working to become an ambassador

Inej Ghafa, she started a non profit to help stop sex trafficking whitch takes her all over the World but she used to. be an acrobat and after that worked with Kaz as his spy

Kaz Brekker, someone who Wylan after years of knowing him isn’t quite sure if there truly friends, or the semi illegal activities he gets up to. Wylan thought his hacking days would be done after University but Kaz has built an online criminal empire

Kuwei Yul Bo a scientists apprentice from China. He was currently working on his masters degree along side Wylan.

And Jesper. How to describe Jesper Fahey. He was an exchange student from Australia. A fabricator with a gift with Guns. While Jesper loved his pistols he actually works for a nonprofit dedicated to gun safety and regulation

After a highly illegal heist on there trip to Norway during college they all bonded as a group

Especially Wylan and Jesper

Jesper with that twinkle

Jesper with that laugh

Jesper with the way he looked at him now

After many more drinks Kuwei had the idea of the century

“Yooooooo y’know what’s a good idea?” Kuwei said bringing his head up from where it was previously glued to the table

“More shhhhhhhhhots?” Jesper suggested clearly as drunk as Wylan

“A couple blocks away is The Dutch Garden, wanna see some prrrrrrrrrrretty flowers?”

Fun fact this is a real place in Amsterdam

Wylan turned towards Kaz expecting him to veto it then and there but to Wylans shock and horror Kaz said “Hell yeah”

“But, but, it’s super late it’s gonna be closed!” Matthias spluttered out

“We can sneak in from the back fence” Jesper said

When Jesper drank his Australian accent whitch had soften over the years of living in Amsterdam came through in all of its glory

When Wylan first met Jesper he thought he was completely out of his league

And that damn accent drove Wylan Insane

While Wylan was contemplating the wonder that was Jesper Llewelyn Fahey it seemed the group made a decision without him

And Wylan thought for the first time in this bachelor party

What am I doing here?

“C’mon Wylan just climb!” Kuwei whisper screamed at Wylan

The drunken lads had made it to the Garden and had found an area where there was a fence they could climb with relative ease

All of the others made it to the other side

Except Wylan

“Don’t you want to seeeeeee the flowwwwwwwers?” Kaz insisted

If Wylan needed any more proof he was the soberest man out of all of them Kaz saying the word ‘pretty’ that isn’t referencing Inej was a clear sign

“Baby pleeeeease” Jesper begged

Oh no

Not that face

Wylan thought of himself as a sensible person who doesn’t succumb to pressure easily

But when his boyfriend made that face

Where his cool grey eyes went big

And his face had a slight flush to it

Wylan

Broke

“Fine! But if we get arrested it’s on you guys!”

With the ease of a spider who’s leg got chopped off by a middle aged housewife who’s husband is cheating on her climbing up a wall Wylan somehow got across

It wasn’t pretty

And it wasn’t gonna make Kaz proud

But it was completed

Panting Wylan on the ground said “I think this is my biggest accomplishment”

“Not…. Putting away your father? Or growing past your Internalised homophobia? Or writing your first essay on your own?” Matthias suggested clearly bewildered

Hey so i know Wylan can’t actually read. But seeing as this is modern day and plenty of dyslexic people can read with help, I figured that Jan would refuse to take Wylan to a doctor or get him help with his dyslexia believing it was weak making Wylan unable to read. Buuuuut when he’s older it makes sense to me he does learn. I’m not trying to invalidate his experiences or “fix” him but for the sake of a modern AU I had to change some things.

“Nope. It’s climbing this fence” Wylan laughed as Jesper helped him up

“Everyday you remind why your my favorite human” Jesper said with a laugh

“Ewwwww it’s like you guys like to remind how I’m the only single one” Kuwei said with a throwing up motion

“Thanks Jesp- wait human?” Wylan asked confused

“Well my favorite thing is Milo of course” Jesper winked

“The- the goat in Russia?” Kaz inquired not quite wanting to believe what Jesper was saying

To Wylans knowledge Kaz, Inej and Jesper did some job in Russia before he ever met them

“Why of course” Jesper slung an arm around Wylan who was not quite sure how to feel about this goat

Kaz went to go look at some purple flowers and contemplate his life choices

“Oh my god guys…….” Matthias started “the flowers! They’re- they’re”

“Cmon Matty, share with the class” Kaz said apparently bored with the purple flowers

“They’re so preeeeeeeetty” Matthias eyes welled up with tears

“Oh Saints tell me he’s not crying” Kuwei Moaned

Jesper walked over to where Matthias was stroking a hydrangea

“They are soooooooo pretty” Jespers eyes also Welled up with tears

“Fuck this shit” Kuwei said taking out a lighter and cigarette

“Hey! Smoking is very bad for you Kuwei!” Wylan lectured

“Wylan. I’m an inferni. Smoking foesnt affect us” Kuwei rolled his golden brown eyes

“Yeah but we’re in a highly flammable garden! And the rest of us aren’t inferni!” Wylan said

It seemed during Kuwei and Wylans arguement Kaz had also joined the cult of flowers that Matthias and Jesper were fixated on

“Wylan stop smoke shaming me!” And the scientists went back and fourth

“KUWEI YOU PIECE OF-“ Wylan started then sniffed the air “is that, is that smoke?” Wylan asked

“Holy shit dudes there’s a fire!” Kaz yelled pointing at where the cigarette Kuwei droppped

It seemed that the cigarette lit fire to a big wall of flowers

“This is why I never wanted a bachelor party!” Matthias moaned

The boys could hear voices coming towards them

Then all of the men looked at each other

And all of them yelled “RUN!”

All of them starting sprinting to the fence

And Kaz with his limp scrambled up that fence the fastest

Guess his determination to not get caught was strong

Wylan started climbing as fast as he could whitch wasn’t very fast

“Cmon Merchling!” Jesper said at the top reaching out a hand to his boyfriend

Wylan took it and stared at the steel eyes that had first enraptured him years ago

“Hey Stop!” Looking back Wylan and Jesper saw three security guards running towards them and yelling at them to stop

Jesper yanked Wylan up and they both fell off the fence in a pile

Jesper took Wylans hand and they all started booking it to Wylan’s car

Wylan who had sobered up in the whole endeavor determined that he was probably sober enough to drive

Piling in they all shoved themselves in the car

Wylan turned on the gas and starte to get the car back on the road

“I can’t believe we ran from cops!” Matthias said in between panting

“That was awesome!” Jesper exclaimed from the passenger seat

Wylan laughed

He had never been a spontaneous person

It seemed this night was a lot more fun then he thought

Until he heard the sirens

From the backseat Kaz turned

And three police cars were zooming towards them

“I am not going down for arson!” Kuwei yelled

“Wylan stop driving like a grandma and go faster! There gaining on us!” Kaz screamed at Wylan

“I can’t there’s a stoplight!”

“Run it!” Jespers shrill voice screamed at him

And Wylan did what he swore to never do

He took a deep breath

And ran that light as fast as he could

They were flying

Wylan had never seen how fast he could make his car go

Turns out it was fast

Wylan used some of his dads money to buy a sports car just to rub it in Jans face

With the top off and blood rushing through Wylans head he had never felt more alive

His boy beside him

His friends behind him

“WOOOOOOOOO!” Kuwei yelled throwing his hands up

Jesper joined Kuwei as the car sped down the street

Matthias was looking a little green

“Matty you okay back there?” Wylan shouted back at the Norwegian

“No!” Matthias shouted over the roar of engine and Jesper and Kuweis yips and yells

Some point during this Kaz called Inej

“Inej I hate thissssss!” Wylan couldn’t hear what Inej said back but from the pieces Kaz gave it was obvious

“No im not drunk!……. Psh of course those aren’t sirens…… Inej we might’ve bended the law but I swear it wasn’t my fault!…….. alright bye. ….I love you to….”

After what seemed like an eternity Wylan finally lost the police

Laughing the Wylan pulled into a gas station for refill

Wylan stepped out of the car and began to refill his car and thought for the millionth time what am I doing here?

“Wylannnnnn” Kuwei moaned

“What Kuwei?” Wylan said already exasperated

“Wylan I’m hungryyyyyy”

“Then go grab some chips or something!”

“But I don’t want to pay for it!”

“Then I guess that sucks for you!”

“You got like a million dollars from stealing me from Norway! You owe me!”

Ghezen Wylan hated drunk people

“Let’s perform a heist on the gas station!” Matthias said apparently done feeling sick

“What? No! We aren’t stealing from the gas station!” Wylan lectured

“It might actually be fuuuuuuun Wy” Kaz begged

The rest of the party were already getting out of the car ignoring Wylans protests

“We will do a simple distract act, Kuwei will go in first and lead the cashier away, and then we go in and steal chips” Kaz explained

It seemed even drunk Kaz could scheme

“This is insane!” Wylan exclaimed

“You said that about rescuing Kuwei from the Norwegian government but that ended up great” Matthias replied

They were gonna do this with or without Wylan

With a sigh Wylan thought what am I doing here?

Kuwei had gone in and had given the single

Wylan had walked in after pretending to look at some sodas and after Kuwei went into the back room with the cashier Wylan sent a quick text to the rest of the guys to come In and get raiding

Like clockwork Matthias, Jesper, and Kaz went in and they started ransacking the place

Wylan was in charge of Sodas, Matthias was in charge of Chips, and Jesper was in charge of Candy

Kaz had the most important job of all

He had to hack into there computers and wipe the security cameras

If Kaz couldn’t do that then Kaz would have to actually hack into the computers from his phone

It almost suprised Wylan how quickly efficiently, and quietly, a bunch of drunk guys could ransack a gas station

Wylan did feel guilty for a moment

But then he remembered how the CEO of the company the gas station is owned by has had multiple sexual misconduct allegations and Wylan felt better

Wylan got all the soda he could carry and rushed back to the car dumping them in the backseat

Soon after Matthias followed then Jesper and a little while after Kaz

Wylan did a quick headcount “wait where’s Kuwei?”

Wylan checked his phone

No texts from him

Shit shit shit

“Someone has to go back in” Kaz said

“I’ll go after him” Wylan said with a sigh

He loved Kuwei like a brother

But like an annoying little brother constantly getting himself in messes

Wylan Walked in and saw the e cashier wasn’t back

Wylan walked through the store and then heard something towards the men’s bathroom

Walking closer to the door the noises were getting a bit louder

Wylan opened the door slamming it against the wall

There stood a wide eyed Chinese kid and from the green uniform Wylan guessed was the cashier

The cashier who was standing between Kuweis legs. Kuwei who was sitting in the edge of the bathroom sink

There’s arms were around each other

Wylan was confused

What was Kuwei doing?

“Get your ass in the car Kuwei!” Wylan yelled

Kuwei gave whispered sorries to the cashier while collecting his jacket he apparently threw off

Wylan dragged Kuwei by the arm outside the store

“Kuwei. When we say distract the cashier, that means distract, not make oht with him!” Wylan lectured

“Cmon Wylan you saw him, he was cute!”

“Your drunk Kuwei!”

“Aren’t we all a little drunk in life?”

“That makes absolutely no sense” Wylan said with a sigh “just go to the car”

Kuwei happily skips away

Wylan had just dropped off Matthias at his and Ninas apartment after dropping off Kaz and Kuwei

Leaving just Wylan, Jesper, and an unhealthy amount of snacks in the car

“Hey Wylan” Jesper said

“Yes Jes?”

“I love you”

“I love you to Jesper”

“No wylan” Jesper took Wylan’s face in his hands

“I really love you” Jesper Pushed a ginger lock away from Wylans face

Jesper then reached into his pocket and pulled out a rumpled purple flower and tucked it into Wylans hair “I really really really love you”

Wylan blinked. Jesper was so drunk.

Wylan gave Jesper a soft smile and placed a kiss on his mouth

“I love you to Jesper”

And suddenly Wylan knew exactly what he was doing there

Finnally finished this in the Nick of time! @neilperryisalive I hope you enjoy this! I was seriously worried I wouldn’t be able to finish it but I did! I’ve never written Wesper but I really enjoyed it. My ask box is open and I take any Grishaverse requests

Pirate’s Heart - Chapter 5

Parade Music Part 1

Fandom: Six of Crows

Pairing: Kaz/female!Reader

Summary: Y/N is saved and Kaz finds something troubling

Notes: so this was originally going to be longer but it was getting to be like 2500 words and I figured I would split it into 2 chapters, also we get to see how Y/N and Kaz met and the flirting is just *chef’s kiss*

Taglist: @sixofshadowandbone @thedelusionreaderbitch @itsemy01 @angelicdanvers @marinettepotterandplagg @screen-to-stage @aysegust @sagewrites111 @lilyoflower @hey-peeps @starjane312 @spawn0fsatan @myalupinblack @ameliathackray @moondustmarauder

(its been too long since I’ve seen Milo)

This is parade music

Good grade music

Party like you just paid or got laid music

Kaz had panicked when they started going to fast in the boat, they all looked shocked as Y/N was just pushing them, moving so fast in the water. Then he felt the boat falter for just a moment and blood was moving behind her legs in the water. A bullet must have hit her and for whatever reason Kaz felt his heart was in his throat, worried she might stop and they would all be killed, worried that she was going to die. He wasn’t sure at what point in this little jaunt he had really gotten attached to Lady Heartless but now he was. They had always been friendly, even as rivals, but he never felt worried about her.

Just after he was made captain of the Crow their small crew needed money to get more hands on deck so they had decided to hit up a small navy treasury on Port Du Nonce. They noticed another ship was there, a pleasure vessel that they ignored, assuming it was just for the men. They were even excited, hopefully most of the guards would have abandoned their posts to go party for the night. They were shocked to find the guards dead, all of them. Inside the treasury was a small group of young women, putting the money and gold bullion into bags and barrels.

“Can we help you gentlemen?” one of the women, the oldest of the group asked, holding her machete casually at her side, a pistol poised in her other hand. Kaz had considered his options, there were more of her crew than theirs, the odds were not good.

“Who are you?” he asked, glaring. He had wanted to make a striking first impression on his first job but clearly this would not be happening.

“I am…” the woman paused as if no one had asked her that before. “Lady Heartless.” Kaz had laughed at that. What a dumb name. “Have you come to steal our treasure?”

“No, we came to steal Pekka Rollins treasure, but it appears you’ve done that already,” he said. He didn’t know the moment it happened but something shifted then, maybe it was something he said or did but she put her weapons away and snapped her fingers.

“Come on ladies, we have enough treasure, let’s leave the rest for the boys here,” she said. The girls just nodded and grabbed onto what they were carrying. She picked up a couple full bags of her own. “There, now we each have some treasure to get our pirate careers going. Take this half and stay out of my life, I’ve already had my life ruined once I don’t want it happening again.” Kaz had watched her walk away and in that moment decided he was going to mess with her, fuck up every heist she tried to do if he could, generosity was a weakness he would exploit at every turn.

At first that’s what he did, he would do any job that he thought she might be at, noticing her pattern of only attacking pleasure vessels or navy treasuries or mining sights, anything that Rollins had a hand in. His uncle must have done whatever she had said had ruined her life. They met often at first and finally she had gotten tired of him.

“You are ruining my life,” she one night when she had just finished kicking his ass and taking a job out from under him, something he normally did to her. “Now, stay down and don’t make me shoot you. You’re a boy trying to be a man, grow up a little bit before you try crossing me again.”

“I’m not here to ruin your life, only fuck up your night,” he said, moving to stand. She sighed and shook her head.

“I really didn’t want to do this,” she muttered. He lunged for her, ready to take her out with his cane, when she shot him. It only grazed him really but it was the first time he had been shot and instead of pushing through it and attacking he just grabbed her sleeve, pulling it down and seeing the scarring on her chest. It was then, as he lay bleeding, that he put together who she was.

“Wait…” he had called but she kept walking, yelling for his crewmates to come retrieve him before leaving him there.

Kaz touched the scar on his side from her shooting him as he cleaned up from their job. She had been taken to his medic’s room to be looked at and he had sent the others to clean up. The ship was in a state of paused motion right now, everything seeming slow as they waited to hear about the other captain. He knew that the others had questions, but it wasn’t his place to answer them. He had left them waiting for word on her while he changed and wiped off the blood. He had already been sick from what had been happening but seeing her carried below, pale and mumbling incoherently had made it worse. He couldn’t stomach going to see her while she was worked on so instead he decided to go through the bag she had retrieved.

He hid the will and all of Rollins’s identification papers, knowing that the crew did not need to know about any of that. He counted the heaps of money and bonds finding that there more than he thought before. This was enough for both ships to function for a year without needing to do another job. He set them aside and started to pour through the business documents, wanting to see what was going on amongst the islands. He froze when he found a parchment that held plans for harnessing the power of a sea witch to destroy the reef and open them back up to the world again. That would be a problem. More access meant more pirates, more competition. Kaz clenched his jaw, he didn’t like the sound of this. He slid that paper aside to show Y/N later, if she survived. He was just finishing a rather boring stacks of documents when Jesper came in without knocking.

“Didn’t I tell you next time you came in unannounced you would lose a finger?” Kaz asked, looking up from the parchment. Jesper took a step back out the door and knocked on it. Kaz nodded, not really wanting to get more blood on him tonight anyway.

“I just wanted to let you know that Y/N is ok, awake, the medic gave her a crutch to use and why the hell didn’t anyone tell us she could do that? What is she?” Jesper asked. Kaz glared at him. “You know what, I will just go and ask her, um, goodnight.” He closed the door in a hurry. Kaz let out a breath of relief and sat back, a small smile coming to his face.

Y/N woke up, sitting up quick and gripping her head. It ached like someone had hit her with a hammer. She looked around the small cabin, slowly figuring out that it was the medic’s room. She looked at her leg, seeing her pantleg pushed up to her knee, a bandage wrapped around it. There was a crutch leaning on the bed. She gingerly swung her legs over the side and stood, leaning on the crutch. She remembered swimming and the pain, she must have been shot during the escape. She needed to get some seawater and kelp, that should help her heal faster. She pushed open the door of the cabin and walked out. Inej and Nina were waiting for her.

“Let us help you,” Nina said, offering her arm. Y/N took it gratefully and walked to the steps. “What do you need?”

“Find out if they have any kelp and seawater aboard, I don’t think I can swim enough to get it myself, it’ll help me heal up faster,” she said. Inej nodded and went off to do as asked. “When she gets back I’ll explain everything.” Nina smiled.

“Its ok, we kind of figured you were a mermaid with the whole finding you in the jungle thing, and you know not aging for 5 years,” she said. Y/N laughed a little, feeling a great fondness for her ladies. She wished she could love them, she really did.

“Yes, but I didn’t tell you everything and you should know, I mean, I’m sure you’ve pieced together parts of my story, but I should tell you both all of it,” she said. Nina got her above deck and sat her on a bench near the side of the ship. She stretched out her leg and saw the rest of the crew eyeing her. Ah, so everyone knew there was mermaid aboard now, great. Inej soon came back with some kelp and fresh seawater.

“Captain Kaz told them to get it after he knew you survived,” she said. Y/N raised an eyebrow but just nodded, taking the kelp and dipping it in seawater. “Nina, remove the bandage please.” Nina did as asked, her fingers quick and concise. Once removed Y/N handed her the kelp. “Now wrap that like a bandage.” Once again the girl did as asked before sitting back.

“How does that help?” Nina asked.

“Mermaids get their abilities from the water, we are born into it and we spend our lives taking care of it and the creatures in it so it in turn takes care of us. I’m sure you saw me swimming, it gives us some extra strength and speed in the water and also can help us heal quickly. That wound should be gone in a couple days. Send word to the Menagerie to meet us at the rendezvous point at Pirate Island,” she said. Inej ran off to do that. Jesper, Matthias, and Wylan joined them soon, offering their regards and telling her they were happy she was alive. She looked at the stern and saw Kaz watching her. He didn’t approach so she just nodded to him and he nodded back to her.

During the voyage to Pirate Island, the farthest island from Argoes, Y/N slept a lot in Kaz’s room, healing up. Kaz avoided his room mostly, only sleeping in short bursts so that he could not be around her. She looked dead still when she slept and he couldn’t handle it. After Jordie he couldn’t handle someone else he cared about being hurt like this. He scowled at himself. Admitting he cared for Y/N just annoyed him, he already cared too much about other people and its not like she could ever really care about him. She could like him enough to not want him to die, but actually care? Never.

He hadn’t meant to be in the room when she woke up but here she was, just a few hours before they would be getting to their destination, sitting up, looking much better, eyes finally focused and sharp again. Kaz had been coming in to change his shirt but stopped, trying to close the door again but she had seen him.

“Kaz Brekker get in here and acknowledge that I’m alive,” she demanded. He groaned internally. This fucking woman. He entered, glaring at her. “Don’t be like you’re happy I’m still breathing.” He dropped the glare but still didn’t look pleased.

“What do you want? Aren’t you still resting?” he asked, leaning to his cane. She leaned down and peeled the kelp from her leg, showing him a scar where the wound had been. “Miracles seem to happen every day for you it seems.”

“Not the day I met you cranky,” she grumbled. This brought out the glare again. “Why have you been avoiding me? We should be talking about what we found from Rollins’s desk and how to divvy up the cash.” Kaz didn’t want to answer her question so he avoided it.

“There’s enough in there for each of us to live a year without actually pirating,” Kaz said. Y/N’s face broke out in a grin that rivaled the sun. “We can do the official split after the party.”

“Party?” she asked. Kaz was throwing a party?

“It’s the biggest bounty we’ve had in years, the men want to have a party. They also wanted me to ask for your ladies to join if they want,” he said.

“Yes of course as long as they behave, anyone giving trouble will have body parts removed,” Y/N said. Kaz agreed to her stipulations before moving on to the next issue.

“We have a problem, Rollins has plans to harness a sea witch’s power to try and break the reef again,” he said. Her eyes widened. “More access to these islands means more competition for us, less loot to go around.”

“It would mean that Rollins would get unlimited power too, if the sea witch’s power is strong enough to break the reef it could possibly be strong enough to do much more to the rest of the world,” she said. Kaz looked at her surprised, having not thought about that.

“What would give a sea witch that kind of power?” he asked although he was pretty sure he already knew.

“The heart of a rare tail mermaid,” she answered. “Well, we have the plans, is there a map?”

“Yes, to a spot near Argoes.”

“Horus’s home, they probably don’t know how to summon them, shit, now that Rollins knows I’m alive he’ll probably try to find me. Fuck, I’m going to have to abandon the Menagerie until this is over, I can’t put those woman at risk over my own stupidity,” she said, throwing the useless kelp across the room. “He knows I’m alive, he knows I know how to summon a sea witch. I’m sorry Kaz, me just being here is going to put you in danger…”

“I’m not worried about that, I’m worried about how we’re getting you to this Horus’s home to summon them,” he said. She snorted a laugh.

“You think that I’m just going to waltz in there and somehow get their power? They wear their power in a crystal around their neck, it would take a master thief or magician…”

“Good think I’m both of those things,” Kaz said. She looked at him.

“When do we tell the crew?” she asked.

“After the party, let them have some fun before we start putting their lives in danger again,” he said. Y/N nodded. “Will you…join me at the party?”

“Are you asking me on a date Kaz Brekker?” she asked, hoping she didn’t bely how pleasing the idea was. Kaz smirked and shook his head.

“No, I just know everyone would like to see you there looking healthy after you almost died on us,” he said. “Morale booster and all.” Y/N looked at him and smiled, he was telling her half of the truth.

“Admit it, you just are too nervous to ask me on a date.”

“Would you even say yes if I did?”

“Ask and you’ll find out.” Kaz opened his mouth to speak but they heard the call for land above them so instead he stood and headed out the door. Y/N smiled after him and for the first time she felt a pang of something new in her soul, she couldn’t identify it but it was something that only Kaz seemed to bring out in her.

Shadow and Bone: A Long-time Fangirl’s Incoherent Rambles

uhh ok the show was SO GOOD! it had no right being so so fucking good. Kanej and Helnik were perfection!!! And the show actually made me like and root for Mal, guess there’s a first for everything.

I thought that they did a really good job intertwining all the plot lines, Helnik was a bit removed from the rest of the story but they definitely set up S2 really well (NINA-JOINING-THE-DREGS ORIGIN STORY ASDHAISFHBAKSJFH)

MY FAVE PARTS/CHANGES IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER (SPOILERS)

- alina being a character with agency (i really loved that they made it her choice to go on the skiff, instead of her being assigned, it really showed how much she cares for Mal and makes her a more active protagonist instead of a passive/reactive protagonist like I felt she was in the books, also when she climbed into the crow’s get-away ride LMAO)

- Alina being half Shu, being an outsider all along for her race and how she deals with that isolation and the new isolation of being the Sun Sumonner

- Ivan/Fedyor (the ship I didn’t know I needed #heartrenderhusbands)

- the Morozova’s collar melding into Alina’s collarbone isntead of just being a collar really emphasized how fucked up the Darkling is and how far he’s willing to go to use Alina for her power, I thought it also made it clear to Alina that she did not matter to him, plus it was just horrifying to see her have to deal with her body being modified like that :(

- MAL, just Mal, they changed so much of his character, this boy would do anything to protect Alina and he loves her so SO much omg

- THE HINTS TO JESPER KNOWING ABOUT KAZ’S PAST MAYBE MORE THAN INEJ DOES (like when he asks if Pekka recognized Kaz) THEY’RE BESTIES YOUR HONOR

- just the Crows man, they have such good chemistry, I thought their character’s were all well-written and even though the tension between Kaz and Inej is OBVIOUS, Jesper never feels like he’s third-wheeling too much - it’s obvious he’s an integral part of their crew as well and both Kaz and Inej care deeply for him

- Jesper killing Volcra while cuddling a goat

- MILO

- Kaz being his true mastermind self and having figured out that Arken was going to kill Alina

- ALINA GIVING INEJ HER KNIFE

- Inej being the only one to hurt the Darkling, there’s nobody doing it like her

- Jesper wanting a demolition expert (oh baby you will get a demo expert, Wylan crumbs leave me alone I’m such trash for him)

- the way they showed Kaz’s touch-aversion (like when Inej was hurt and he was clearly conflicted between wanting to help her and not wanting to touch her or the way he hestitated before shaking anyone’s hand)

- KAZ BEING JEALOUS (Jes?)

- Inej remaining true to her faith and morals, struggling with killing but doing it anyway to protect the people she cares about, also by SoC Kaz and Inej already trust each other with their lives, it’s nice to see the buildup of how they got there

- Jesper being the one with the “fuck my way out of a con” plot line (and bi representation)

- the subtle hints at Jesper being a Grisha, specifically a Fabrikator or Durast, (like when he directs bullets in crazy ways to hit Ivan in the same spot, Ivan about to say “you’re a --” before Jes gets defensive and knocks him out, Jes fixing Kaz’s cane) I truly can’t wait for this reverse reveal and I don’t think he’s told anyone yet soooooo that’ll be interesting

- Nina and Matthias’s chemistry, god they’re so good together

- all the Jesper and Inej moments, the platonic male-female friendship I NEED

- just every single one of Jesper’s lines, every time he breathes, I am down bad guys send help

ok I will shut up now, don’t expect me to post about anything else for a solid week lmao

SHADOW AND BONE SPOILERS

LAST WARNING

finished binging the show and i'm going to curate a list of my fav scenes and some others that struck to me:

MILO, THE GOAT. the fact that he's there for emotional support is *chef's kiss.* from now on i NEED a goat named MILO for MY emotional support.

EPISODE 7 KAZ AND INEJ SCENE (didn't cry, not much of a cryer, but i needed to take a breath) and KAZ CALLING THEM “MY CROWS” (me: dying)

Kaz saying “I need you” to Inej. mother of saints his love is vibrating through the screen and i'm not complaining because MY love for Inej is also vibrating back to the screen.

the fact that ep 5, if i'm not wrong has like 3 KISSES (two of them darklina ofc y'all being fed)

the darkling/general kirigan coming back to kiss Alina again?! it's cute not gonna lie (but he's a manipulator and a literal murderer so kinda hard to see it as cute)

JESPER. he's such a joy in the show. (IMAGINE WYLAN VAN SUNSHINE AND NIKOLAI LANTSOV I'M GONNA CRY AT SEASON TWO PLEASE THERE BE A SEASON TWO)

this show might have persuaded me to be a malina shipper (before i was meh on both ships)

HELNIK. THIS SHOW MADE ME LOVE HELNIK EVEN MORE. PLEASE I NEED TO SEE THE ENEMIES TO LOVERS OF NINA AND MATTHIAS AGAIN BUT 🚨CROOKED KINGDOM SPOILERS🚨 WE ALL KNOW HOW IT'LL END

I LOVE EVERY FREAKING MINUTE OF HELNIK. THEY'RE JUST OH MY GOSH. I LOVE WHEN THEY ATE WAFFLES.

FEDYOR. liked him at first until he disrupted NINA AND MATTHIAS EATING WAFFLES (an absolute disgrace).

to netflix, i need a season two to see HELNIK, my Crows (all of them), the very handsome and very talented dancer NIKOLAI LANTSOV.

how am i gonna wiat for season two.

this is gonna be absolute torcher.

ok i'm gonna give some alina & mal & darkling scenes.

the servant saying something “start with her Shu eyes” BOY IT HIT WAY CLOSE TO HOME along with the first army in Kribirsk.

never knew i needed somebody like Alina (Jessie Mei Li) to be on the TV who looked like me, but oh what a glorious feeling to not see another fully white protagonist who saves the world (not that there's anything wrong with that, just that there's a lot of it).

mal is WAYYYYYYY better in the show imo

still don't like the darkling. handsome? yes. manipulator and might kill you in the snap of his fingers? also yes. possesive? yes. “a man of his word”? certainly not.

OH AND DAVID LOOKING AT GENYA AT THE WINTER FETE. I AM MELTING.

KAZ HOLDING A GOAT.

LEIGH HUGGING ALINA.

also kaz LITERALLY defeating the darkling and just poofing out (sorry crow cane)

mikhael and dubrov are the best friends i need in real life

NO MOURNERS. NO FUNERALS.

i absolutely adored the crows in the show??? like they looked exactly like how i pictured them??? except for some reason i always pictured inej bangs and her hair cut to her chin, but!!! she carried inej exactly how i imagined and was perfect in literally every aspect. can we get a show with them please??? ben was awesome as the darkling, of course, genya was incredible, and even zoya!! mal and alina, on the other hand.........eh?? they were just okay??? like their acting was just okay 😬 what did you think!! did you like the actors???

I did enjoy the crows a lot, yes! As noted, they were the ones that I was most invested in coming into the show, and I think that overall, they really did do a good job in translating them to screen. Jesper is probably my favourite, as he was in the books, and I am waiting impatiently for Wylan to arrive in s2 so the two of them can be messy queer boys together. Inej was lovely, as expected. IMHO, they definitely softened Kaz down quite a bit from his book counterpart, but I liked the actor anyway and as I noted in some earlier ask or another, it was funny to watch them run around like chaotic himbos, be gay and do crimes, achieve absolutely bugsquat nothing whatsoever, and get to make friends with Milo the goat while they were at it. It’ll be interesting to see how they blend Siege & Storm and SOC (which I assume they will do next season, with Ruin & Rising and CK being s3, should we get that far).

Of course, NINA AND MATTHIAS. I’m doing a rewatch (just finished episode 7, preparing myself for Pain on this front in episode 8) and as ever, they FULLY own me. Also, cannot stop cackling over the fact that you are Matthias Helvar. You are unconscious on a piece of wood in the middle of a giant-ass thunderstorm after your ship broke up and your nasty colleagues who look like that one guy in Pirates of the Caribbean that Will Turner fails to blow up have deservedly drowned. Your captive, who you have chained up, said dumb things to, and otherwise given her no reason to like you, decides to save you partly because a) she’s a good person and b) she needs your help. You wake up, immediately fall directly off the raft into the frothing ocean, bellow “WITCH!” at the top of your lungs while flailing pointlessly, accuse her of being the problem, and have another argument before you agree to try to swim both of you to shore. If nothing else, you are consistent. You are also very stupid. Also, every time she talks, you gaze at her with literal hearts for eyes and then say something else face-palmingly idiotic. Your goose is so cooked. Alas.

(I love them. The end of CK is not canon in this house and never will be.)

As for Mal and Alina, aha, hmm. I’m not at all invested in them as a couple (I don’t mind them or anything, I just don’t have any feelings about them and it seems like a lot of telling vs. showing). Also, it’s my own opinion that they really don’t develop much as a pairing over the course of the series? They start out in one place and end up pretty much in the exact same place at the end. Of course, I am the messy bitch who prefers enemies to lovers and complicated relationships and Angst rather than childhood-friends-to-lovers, so that’s me. (Also the kid who plays Mal is like... 17, and I’m 32, so it would be a little weird if I was attracted to a teenager.) Plus book!Mal annoyed me in Siege and Storm to the point where I wondered why on earth Alina was still with this guy, so if that happens in s2, I will run out of patience with him real fast. I recognize they’ve also changed the character for the TV series, so we’ll see how that goes, and I think both actors did a decent job. They’re both young and these are their first big roles and they didn’t take me out of the story or anything. I also enjoyed Jessie Mei Li’s chemistry with Ben Barnes (obviously) and staring at Ben Barnes every time he was on screen. Me have smrt thoughts. Smrt.

Anyway. Yes.

More of me providing my Thoughts™ and Feelings™ as I watch Shadow and Bone. My best friend and I just watched episodes 3 and 4 last night, so here we go:

The hostility between Nina and Matthias is amazing. I'm here for it. It is honestly exactly how I imagined it should be

Milo. That's it. I just adore that little goat, and Jesper and I are once again the same person

Inej repelling from the dome and doing her silks performance was astounding. Like, I'm already gay; you don't need to do that to my heart, my beloved

Jesper shooting the card in half and using his senses to kill all the volcra was both a mood and some real BDE right there. I need more of that shit pronto

To add something about the S&B trilogy part, I love Nadia, Marie, and Genya and hate Zoya as much as I did in the books, which I am appreciating, but this made me realise I'm probably gonna have to wait until season 2 to see Tolya and Tamar, and I don't need more characters to anticipate for season 2 (Wylan and Nikolai missing is unbearable as is)

Also, I knew that Alina and Mal wouldn't get their letters to each other 'cos that happens in the books, but it still upset me. They love each other so much, and I hate to see Alina feel any sort of negativity (even if it's just her wanting to let go of certain parts of their friendship) toward him due to the miscommunication

Lastly, Kaz's little performance as a sculptor was exquisite. It killed me with laughter. Then him saying he'll find his own way into the Little Palace 'cos he doesn't have a performance was great; he could do some sort of escape act with his lockpicking skills, but good on him for doing what he is comfortable with and saying fuck this performance shit 'cos it isn't for him and he'll do what he always does: pave his own way

Shadow and Bone Thoughts

April 24, 2021

12:19 AM

Just finished the Shadow and Bone series on Netflix and I have an abundance of thoughts.

Having read both the Shadow and Bone Trilogy and the Six of Crows duology, I was very excited for this show to come out. However, having seen some bad adaptations of books over the years, I was a bit wary of this show at first. My mind changed instantly when I saw how dedicated all of the actors and people that worked on this show were. The trailer dropped and I immediately became invested.

*SPOILERS* (for both the books and show duh)

Thoughts on the Shadow and Bone Series:

-I think that the show does a really great job in improving Mal as a character. The Shadow and Bone books are all told from the perspective of Alina. In the show, we are able to see things from Mal’s perspective. It’s evident in the show that Mal does have affection for Alina and that he values her in his life. We see the obstacles and hardships that he undergoes in order to get to Alina. He was willing to risk his life to track an animal that literally everyone thought of as a myth. He’s stabbed, punched, and shot at multiple times before he’s even able to reach Alina. The show made Mal a lot more likable than what he is in the books. In the books, Mal judges Alina and harbors a lot of resentment towards her. In the show, when Mal and Alina are alone in the woods, he doesn’t force her to tell him what she did in the Little Palace and holds no judgement against her. I wasn’t a Malina shipper but seeing the way the two of them portrayed on the show made my heart feel all fuzzy. Those flashback scenes of them as kids were cute af.

-They did Alexei dirty like that by having him killed 20 mins after we see him survive the Fold. At least he lived a bit longer than in the books. RIP.

-The Crows were definitely a highlight of this show. They added a lot of moments of levity with their dynamic. The comedic timing of their scenes was perfect. Kit, Amita, and Freddy all literally embodied everything I thought that the Crows would be. Kaz holding a goat in his arms and walking around all serious was hilarious. Jesper hugging that goat when they’re in the train is another hilarious moment. Inej is a badass as usual and I loved whenever she would make fun of Jesper.

-MILO WAS THE STAR OF THE SHOW and he actually proved to be useful later on.

-THE KAZ VS. DARKLING INTERACTION. There’s just something about having the two characters that wear the most black face off with each other.

-The Darkling and Alina’s relationship is a lot more consensual compared to the books. In the show, it’s actually Alina that kisses him first compared to Darkling just ambushing her in the books. At the winter fete when ALINA IS LITERALLY PROPPED ONTO HIS DESK, he asks her if she wants to continue which is a whole lot more consent than in the books. Knowing that the goodbye kiss that the Darkling gives Alina before he leaves her in his office was unscripted makes that kiss 10x hotter.

-It was interesting seeing what the past looked like for the Darkling. We get to see the creation of the fold which makes a lot of sense because you can do that on TV. Seeing what his past was like and the way he acts towards Alina (at least for the first 5 episodes) makes you want to empathize with him. I knew that he was bad but the show does a really good job in almost convincing you to like him. Ben Barnes’ long hair was giving me Prince Caspian vibes. That man has not aged since 2008.

-I love how some of Nina and Matthias’ scenes were all word for word from the books. Their scenes pretty much summed up how I imagined them together. The scene where Nina falls into the ice was SO intense, I thought for a second that Matthias was going to let go of her. Knowing that he dies in Crooked Kingdom had me really sad whenever I saw them together. “Matthias is dreaming again” *sobs* Also, Danielle got a bunch of unnecessary hate for being casted as Nina. I get that people wanted her to be more plus-sized and I’m all for that, but that does not mean you should hate on the actor. Danielle is a great actor and she was able to play a convincing Nina.

-Seeing the cut on screen was so cool. It was a bit gruesome seeing all of the bodies be sliced in half. Anyways, the special effects in this show in general was superb.

-Genya and David were adorable af. Alina describes David as unattractive in the books but man is Luke Pasqualino attractive.

-The collar looked a lot more painful than what I imagined when reading the books. I really do feel for Alina when she looks in the mirror at the collar with such a pained expression.

-Having Alina be half Shu makes a lot of sense. It contributes more to her feeling like she doesn’t belong anywhere and her questioning of who she really is. Jessie as Alina was perfect and she really did make Alina a lot more likable compared to the books.

-Ben was casted perfectly as the Darkling. He has the looks and he has the skills to play such a character. There’s such a subtlety to his facial expressions that reveal what the Darkling is thinking or feeling.

-I really only have two things that I did not like in the show. The way that they made Zoya racist towards Alina was something that I felt was unnecessary. One big thing that I did not like was the fact that the Darkling’s name is revealed so early on in the show and mentioned so casually by him and other people. There no longer is any weight or gravity to his name which really was one of the only things that made him feel human in the books.

-I do hope that there will be a second season. I just wonder how they’re going to integrate the Crows and still have them be connected somehow to the Alina. NIKOLAI AND WYLAN aka two of my favorite characters better be in the second season.

Overall this show was an absolute EXPERIENCE to watch. The show is actually able to improve the books which is something that a lot of adaptations don’t do. All of the actors did such a great job in portraying their characters and watching their interviews together and them interact with each other on social media makes me so happy. I 10/10 recommend for you to watch the series, especially if you have read the books and are a fan of Leigh Bardugo’s.

knife bird for the notebook ask?

gonna include all the crows for this one even though knife bird won’t meet nina, matthias, or wylan by the end of season one because i love them all i’m envisioning this being like some time through mid to late soc fhfhdh

Kaz — so scary at times that he’s hot i’d take my shot if he wasn’t so obviously into inej. i know i piss him off all the time and he’d drop me if he had the chance but i’d take a bullet for the bastard again. sometimes i wonder how i end up trusting him so much with the plans for jobs but then the kruge ends that wondering

Inej — girl has as many knifes as i have scars. it’s unnerving how quiet she is but i trust her more than anybody. only one i’d completely trust with my life. don’t understand how she can be as kind as she is with what heleen put her through. much better of a person than me for it

Nina — the way alba nina loves sweets is the way i love my weapons. but then again, i’m not even sure if i love my guns and knives that much. honestly i don’t think her heartrender powers have much to do when she emotionally influences people, her beauty does most of it. will always be grateful for her introducing me to the food above all else: waffles. my life has been changed forever because of those delicious things. as much as i hate to admit it, she’s helped me learn and be better at what i am, if only she didn’t learn from the little palace and maybe i wouldn’t be reluctant

Matthias — dumbass pretty blond. i swear the drüskelle had to be some sort of cult where no fun was allowed. he slowly grew on me but it’s sort of hard to like somebody who comes from a group who only wants to kill you, i mean put you on “trial”. he was the one helped us have any sort of serious clue for ice court so that’s something, even if was originally only for that pardon

Jesper — can’t believe i got a matching tattoo with this hot idiot, but i guess he’s my idiot now and that tattoo of milo binds us saints i really miss milo…. it’s hard to resist that pretty face with that grin plastered on those kissable lips… and those pretty grey eyes. he’s gotten us into so many clusterfuck situations but i can’t imagine a life without him now. wish he didn’t know how to get me so flustered so easily, maybe i could have a functionally normal conversation with him for once. the moments i get him back are so worth it. best big spoon. those long limbs do wonder for cuddles

Wylan — he’s the only person i’ve wanted to kiss so badly aside from jes. it’s not even because of those cute curls or pretty eyes. don’t really get it since wylan and jes are so different. ever since that merchling joined us it’s been so confusing. haven’t really talked about it with jes, maybe it’s confusing for him too. all i know is that we both like flirting with wylan and seeing him blush is cute maybe it’s how jesper feels when he does it to me. even though i don’t understand any of it, i could watch and listen to him all day when it comes to making the bombs. didn’t think i’d love the sound of a flute until him and now i can only think of him regarding anything about one

#0itmelex0: answered #grishaverse ocs #oc: lorenzo willingham #lorenzo: ask #ship: lorenzoxjesper #ot3: lorenzoxjesperxwylan #lorenzo do be lowkey having some sort of thing for like half of them #but is just enamored with his sharpshooter and that merchling fhdhdh
