Here's what I'm thinking about on this fine evening: Ketterdam has a HUGE CANAL SYSTEM that runs pretty much through the entire city and I, somehow, completely missed that.

Here's the Ketterdam map, right? We know her. We love her.

BUT, let's zoom in a little:

You can see very clearly here that those thicker, darker colored lines connect distinctly into the harbor, which means that they are ALSO WATER.

So, if a person with a Six of Crows obsession and maybe a little too much time on their hands were to take that map and color it so that all of the water was blue, it would look something like this:

Now, I may just be stupid, but I'd like to believe there is at least one other person who will be as baffled upon seeing this post as I was when I made this realization. It's water!! Canals are a major form of transportation in Ketterdam!! This not only is very interesting to me in regards to Ketterdam’s culture, but it also changed the way I pictured the city in my head. This is life-changing stuff, people.

Really sweet Crow friendship thing we never seem to talk about: Kaz bought the Wraith for Inej, yes, but he bought it from Wylan. Wylan knew!

Imagine it!! Not only Kaz effectively confiding in Wylan by doing this, but also imagine Wylan spending the next week with Inej staying in his house knowing what was going to happen!! Like he probably didn’t know Kaz had found her parents but he knew she was getting the boat (and that would be her key to finding her parents herself if Kaz hadn’t done). Inej vanished from his house one morning to go to the docks at the crack of dawn and I like to imagine that he watched her from the window so happy and so joyous because he loves Inej and he loves Kaz and they’re going to be so happy

This is beautiful!!! And it’s CANON! Why don’t we talk about this more????

So I'm re reading six of crows for the millionth time, and I just wanted to share Matthias's first impressions of the crows (not including nina because shes already met him but if you want me too I can) because I can't stop laughing. This guy has no chill. And I know these are here for our benefit too to give us more description for the crows.

-

Kaz: - "Gravelly voice" "Dark eyes" "pale demon with his black-gloved hands"

Inej: "small girl" "dark hair" "deep bronze suli skin"

Jesper: "long limbed boy" "bony knees" "deep brown zemeni skin and incongruous grey eyes. "He was built like a stork" 😭

Wylan: "Ruddy gold curls." "He's about twelve"

#he has no chill i swear #this guy #also with nina half the time he just wants to kill her in his pov #six of crows #six of crows spin off #six of crows duology #crooked kingdom #matthias helvar #nina zenok #nina zenik #book kaz brekker #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #wylan van eck #jesper llewellyn fahey #jesper fahey #i did this on tumblr mobile #it makes me want to die

Reasons to read Six of Crows

1. Actually good representation

- all the crows have ptsd of some sort that actually affect their actions

- religion also affects their actions (eg. Inej with her saints and unwilling to kill, Matthias with djel)

- Jesper and inej are darker skinned

- wylan is gay and jesper and Nina are bi

- wylan has dyslexia that he's really ashamed of because of his father(and when he told Kaz he(Kaz) literally just shrugged!!)

- Kaz is physically disabled (his leg) and needs to use a cane

2. Nina is canonically thick and curvy but is still described as beautiful and badass

3. Again with Nina

- she does eat more than the other crows and they don't judge her for it

- when she starts to eat less bc of parem her friends panic and try to get her to eat more

- and when she starts eating again they're so fucking happy

4. All the crows have their own horrible backstory and yet none of them have ever been in a toxic relationship

5. The boundaries that characters set are actually respected (eg. Kaz with his gloves and no-touch rule)

6. It's so funny ("My ghost won't associate with your ghost", "I'm going to get someone to burn my kruge for me / you could pay someone to pay someone to burn your kruge / I'll pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to burn my kruge / you know what the really big bosses do? They pay someone to pay someone...", "MAYBE I LIKED YOUR STUPID FACE" among other examples)

7. There are such impactful and beautiful quotes ("I would come for you", "I have been made to protect you" etc)

8.

9. To elaborate with the 'horrible backstory' thing

- Inej is a victim of sex trafficking

- Wylan was nearly murdered by his father's men for not being able to read

- Matthias was brainwashed from a young age to hate Grisha

- Nina (and other Grisha) were kidnapped and abused by Matthias and his fellow drüskelle

- Jesper's mum died when he was 7 years old

- Kaz's dad died when Kaz was 9 and left him and his older brother (Jordie) to sell the farm and go to Ketterdam. Jordie died from a plague a short time later and Kaz had to use Jordie's dead, plague-ridden body to swim to shore after being mistaken as dead and loaded onto the Reapers' Barge along with Jordie and then find a way to survive with no money and no family to go to

#its just an amazing story in general #it changed my life for the better #that may be a bit of an exaggeration but who cares #ill add to this when i remember other bits #six of crows #crooked kingdom #grishaverse #soc #ck #gv #kaz brekker #jesper fahey #inej ghafa #wylan van eck #nina zenik #matthias helvar #idkwhattoputhere123

*sirens going off in the distance*

Wylan, terrified, rocking back and forth: They’ve found me!!

Kaz, who the Stadwatch is really after: You better run

I keep seeing people say things like “Why would we want a SoC spin-off they’ve already used the entire plot” and I’m like?? Did we read the same books???

What about The Ice Court Heist? Kuwei? Van Eck? “I’m going to get my money, Kaz vowed. And I’m going to get my girl.”??? The sugar fiasco? The auction at the exchange??

Marya and Colm sharing embarrassing baby and toddler stories of Wylan and Jesper to the other Crows who are eating it up

Anytime either of them start to complain about something Kaz is doing, he just gives them his hundred yard stare and whispers any number of the embarrassing child stories he now knows about. Both of them shut up real quick

Inej is a little more gracious about it, but she still finds opportunities to tease them about it

Nina just can't stop laughing for like a week straight

Matthias doesn't outright tease them, but now he understands why Wylan keeps handing him small bugs and various frogs whenever they go outside literally anywhere

#kaz: this is excellent blackmail mr fahey thank you #six of crows #crooked kingdom #leigh bargudo #grishaverse #soc #ck #marya hendriks #colm fahey #wylan van eck #jesper fahey #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #nina zenik #matthias helvar #for context on the last one i like to think wylan has a fascination with bugs and frogs #and he used to catch them when he was little #and now he just hands them to matthias because matthias has never seen most of these animals before

social media crows : privtwt accounts

(jesper set up kaz’s and he can’t figure out how to delete his profile picture and header so he’s plagued with an actual twitter account)

I would love to see Aditi's reaction to Colm unofficially adopted 5 criminal children, I can picture her laughing and smiling at her husband and I can just see Colm looking at his criminal children with a disapproving face but deep down she knows he's enjoying himself.

I kinda wanna cry now.... I would kill to see this in fanart form.

#my soc thoughts #midnight just hits different #i would love to see fanart of colm and aditi #six of crows #grishaverse #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #nina zenik #matthias helvar #yes matthias lives i dont care i love him #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #crooked kingdom #soc

I’m never not thinking about the time Jesper revealed his grisha power in front of the boy he was flirting with and a literal witch hunter and when the boy he’d been flirting with asked why he’d kept a secret he looked directly at the witch hunter and said “I like walking the streets free” and everyone got quiet and squirmy only for Kaz fucking Brekker to suddenly go “Do it again” with no patience or real context and definitely no acknowledgement of the vibe. Read the room, Kaz, read the room.

#it’s the way he just suddenly blurts it out #makes me laugh every time #grishaverse #six of crows #crooked kingdom #leigh bardugo #inej ghafa #kaz brekker #nina zenik #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #matthias helvar #kanej #wesper #helnik

I honestly don't think any Classics I've read or will read will ever be as good as The Cruel Prince or Six of Crows.

Okay but. I feel like these are The two quotes that sum up six of crows as a whole. Life hasn't been fair to any of them. It doesn't owe them anything, it doesn't owe them justice, it doesn't owe them fairness. And what do they do? They carve out their own justice by going on the heist to get their money and make their own life, where they can create their own fairness. Then in crooked kingdom, when they've been run to the ground in their hometown, they make the odds turn in their favour through their own means. They've all lived a lifetime of unfairness, each in their own way. But they're here to demand fairness of it anyway, and I think that that's the core message of the duology. That if things are unfair you have to ability to make it fair. And I think that's beautiful.

#I don't want to salt on the show anymore I'm tired so I'm just going back to loving the books with my whole heart #six of crows #grishaverse #leigh bardugo #crooked kingdom #soc #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #nina zenik #matthias helvar #kanej #wesper #helnik
