i think the six of crows fandom has a real problem with acknowledging complexity in the characters which is ironic because it’s literally a book about morally grey characters. like yes kaz is a cold blooded murderer who cares more about money than being a good person but he’s also a dumb teen boy with a crush and a bad haircut. inej is a knife-wielding spy as well as a deeply religious girl who never stopped believing in kindness. jesper is a confident, reckless sharpshooter but he’s also incredibly scared and angry. wylan is an empathetic and kind artist along with being a dangerously intelligent explosives expert. nina is a fun, food-loving girl but she also stands up for the oppressed and struggles to recover from an addiction. matthias is an angry druskelle but he’s also the boy who learned to love grisha unconditionally. even kuwei has more depth than we give him credit for. he’s the flirty troublemaker as well as a grieving kid who’s had too much pressure put on him. they all have nuance, please don’t take that away because it’s such an important theme in the books

we all joke about the ice court heist being a triple date but also consider. they went to fjerda on a ship. kaz gave inej a ship and a berth. jesper thought that wylan blew up with the ship. matthias and nina nearly drowned in a shipwreck. all three ships have ship significance and it drives me insane

with Wesper already being canon in the show, I'd love to see a scene in the Crows spin off where Jesper risks the whole mission to keep Wylan safe and Kaz yells at him something along the lines of "we can't work as a team if you're being distracted by love!" and Jesper would just look him in the face, calm, asking "really? you're the one lecturing me about how love clouds my judgement?".

The parallels between Kaz letting Jordie’s body float away in the harbor without closing his eyes because he knew if he got back in the water, “he would never find his way out again” and Wylan forcing himself to get up from the shore despite having just escaped an assassination attempt because he thought if he closed his eyes, “he wouldn’t have the will to open them again”…….The way they are both reborn in a sense after crawling out of the waters of Ketterdam…..The way they both drop their last names in an attempt to hide from someone (Wylan from his father, Kaz so Pekka won’t see him coming) and from their pasts…..oh I am looking DIRECTLY at it.

Thinking about how the Dregs canonically have a pleasure house but Kaz vehemently had nothing to do with it even when he was involved in the finances of all their other businesses, and that shutting it down was probably one of the first things he did after the coup

See below cut for evidence/quotes and lil smidgen of analysis

In chapter 3 Van Eck calls Kaz “a bawd and a murderer”, to which Kaz replies “I don’t run whores, and I kill for a cause”. Whilst the more obvious implication of this would be that the Dregs isn’t affiliated with a pleasure house, we learn later that this assumption is incorrect. When Kaz pays off her contract Inej believes she’s moving to another house and Heleen replies “Haskell does own a pleasure house, somewhere in the lower Barrel, but you’d be a waste of his money there”, both confirming that the Dregs have a pleasure house and implying that they get very little income from it. Since we know that Kaz is the only one who actually does any work with the finances and that many times it’s been said that the Dregs would collapse without him not only because they would lose a lot of the fear his presence brings but also because they would lose most of their income, it’s fair to assume that the reason this business is unsuccessful is because Kaz refuses to be involved with it. I think that Van Eck’s accusation comes from him looking through the Dregs’ businesses (he has a collection of papers and information on Kaz and reads them during this conversation) and assuming Kaz is involved in all of them, and we can also follow the implication that Kaz is offended by this false accusation since he’s so quick and blunt in defending it during an otherwise lengthy and often philosophical conversation.

Looking through Crooked Kingdom for reasons, and before Jesper goes to meet with his dad at the University, it says Wylan lent him a few Kruge to get some more student-ish clothes and I wondered where he got that money from. I now realize that this was shortly after Kaz gave Wylan the 5 kruge from Smeet and told him not to spend it all in one place. And then he proceeded to spend it on helping Jesper. Fungus in my brain

#dumb little details. this and wylan walking in on jesper and kuwei likely bc he wanted to check on jesper after he was yelled at by his da #me when i make connections. even just the bare hints of the things wylan does are sometimes just. v sweet. #'what were you looking through CK for' don't worry about it #it's none of your business. yet. #wylan van eck #jesper fahey #kaz brekker #six of crows #soc #tgt #do i tag it.....? #nah. not yet.

i feel like we don’t talk enough about that one moment in crooked kingdom where wylan asks jesper if being a criminal is really what he wants for his future and jesper says yes but then he reaches out to untangle wylan’s satchel and says “but it’s not all that i want.”

#i get it’s really simple but #there’s something so adorable and intimate about it #just jesper unconsciously reaching out to touch wylan #and without even thinking about it fixing his satchel for him #like it’s second nature #it makes me melt #six of crows #soc #crooked kingdom #ck #wylan van eck #jesper fahey #wesper #leigh bardugo

inej and kaz having issues with touch due to trauma. kaz and wylan drowning and being reborn in the ketterdam harbor. wylan and jesper feeling like they have to hide a part of themselves due to their fathers. jesper and nina being grisha with addictions. nina and matthias being raised as a weapon rather than a human. matthias and inej being deeply religious. inej and wylan making themselves smaller because of the abuse they suffered. wylan and matthias being forced into a life of crime. matthias and kaz losing their parents and siblings. kaz and jesper being thrown into the barrel because of reckless behavior involving money. all of these characters being so different yet so similar and forever interconnected with each other because they know that no one else will understand

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

reading this part in ck is always so funny because the part where wylan’s eyes flashed I’m imagining this

and jespers probably like this:

Jesper: *Yawns*

Wylan: Yeah, being that pretty must be tiring.

Jesper: Then you must be exhausted.

Kaz: Will you two shut up? Some of us are lonely.
