I can’t properly explain how much I NEED Kit to whisper the line “I can read to him” to Jan Van Eck in the spin-off.

Six of Crows Matthias: He would not shoot an unarmed man. He had not yet sunk so low

Crooked Kingdom Matthias: I am unarmed

I’m gonna go cry for eternity see you later

Kaz Brekker: *gets his girl a ship so she can hunt slavers, finds her lost parents for her and let's her hold his hand*

Inej: (probably internally panicking) what do I get him what do I get him i know *promptly terrorizes Pekka Rollins so badly he moves to the other side of the world and gifts his son a toy crow* perfect

[to-be-a-dreamer]

I’ve been reading the Grishaverse books/watching the Netflix show for the first time over the past couple weeks or so and I just have to say that I think it's so funny whenever Kaz gets snarky about Inej's proverbs or Matthias's religious talk or Jesper’s Jesperisms or anyone else being even slightly philosophical or theatrical or whatever because Kaz Brekker is the most dramatic bitch in all of Kerch. Like. I'm pretty sure this kid graduated top of his class from the School of Dramatic One-Liners with a double major in "Commit to the Aesthetic" and "Writing Epic Love Poetry Whilst Maintaining the Bad Guy Reputation". Dude wanted to impress a girl and wasn’t sure if getting the whole ass king of Ravka to find her long-lost parents was enough so he bought an entire warship from his friend who absolutely would have just Given It To Him but noooooo Mr. Protecting-My-Investment over here had to pay a fair price otherwise it doesn’t count.

The only, and I mean the ONLY reason I don't say he's the most dramatic bitch in the entire Grishaverse is because Nikolai Lantsov exists and that man once wore his entire army uniform under his jacket to go volcra hunting in the Shadow Fold on the off chance he would get to make a dramatic reveal at the end. He put a spring-loaded curtain in front of the weapons rack on his personal ship just in case he had guests he wanted to show off for. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did the dramatic flourish every time he opened those curtains for literally no one but himself. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he made that set up after he had guests he wanted to show off for. That curtain either went up two hours before he used it or it was the first thing he built on that ship there is no in between.

I need copious amounts of Expo markers, PowerPoint slides, and glitter to figure out which one of them takes the title it is CLOSE.

#remind me to ramble about the similarities between kaz and nikolai after I finish the kos duology #is always ten steps ahead of everyone else and has these big elaborate plans they don’t tell anyone about until they’re actively happening #does not know how to be chill about anything in their life ever #has ISSUES #losers. both of them. #I am shaking them in a mason jar as we speak #anyways I have more thoughts on this universe #this was just the funniest one and thus it gets posted at 2am immediately after finishing ck #kaz brekker #nikolai lantsov #six of crows #crooked kingdom #shadow and bone #grishaverse #six of crows spoilers #crooked kingdom spoilers #shadow and bone spoilers #grishaverse spoilers

Sometimes you don’t NEED skin on skin

Just to really bring the point home for those who have not read the Six of Crows duology and think that Inej deserves to “have some fun before she finds her way back to her true love”, or who perhaps think that a love triangle/jealousy drama would somehow spur Kaz into action (do you even know Kaz Brekker?):

For someone connected to the production to caption a photo of the actors with the (crack) ship name of their characters (“Tonej”) and talk about “skin on skin” might seem innocent (”it’s just an Insta post”), but let’s look at the context for those who are upset by this – some of whom have suffered similar traumas and find comfort/inspiration in Inej’s character.

Here is a sample of Inej’s previous experience of skin on skin:

There were young men, old men, handsome men, ugly men. There was the man who cried and struck her when he could not perform. The man who wanted her to pretend it was their wedding night and tell him that she loved him. The man with sharp teeth like a kitten who had bitten at her breasts until she’d bled. Crooked Kingdom p. 274 Kindle version

And these are the men she remembers; mostly she forced herself to go numb, while making all the right noises and moves so Tante Heleen would not abuse her further.

Because she loves Kaz, she tells him she is willing to work on that trauma IF HE WORKS ON HIS. This does not mean that she is itching for skin on skin action there and then, it means she wants to be ready for it if they are to have a future together. 

What if he had come to her, laid his gloves aside, drawn her to him, kissed her mouth? Would she have pulled him closer? Kissed him back? Could she have been herself in such a moment or would she have broken apart and vanished, a doll in his arms, a girl who could never quite be whole? Crooked Kingdom, p. 275 Kindle version

This is her mindset as she boards that ship in S2E8. She does not need a man who is basically a stranger to be her ticket out of trauma – not even a lovely one like Tolya (who in turn does not need or want romance in his life to be fulfilled). She needs healing, a purpose and – as a character – not to be reduced to half a ship in a fling which would be nothing but a waste of precious screentime. 

EDIT: Inserting screenshot of the caption/tagging of the photo depicting Amita Suman and Lewis Tan, just to highlight the clear reference to the characters  and not the actors, whatever was claimed afterwards.

I am finishing Crooked Kingdom and I am SCREAMING. Parts or phrases that made me feral:

Matthias chapter 40: my chest HURTS. Matthias had such an amazing journey!! He wanted to do good, he died leaving the hate with which he was raised behind!! He wanted Nina to save those boys of Fjerda like him!!!!!!

Wylan going “I’ll say whatever you want, Father. Just don’t let them hurt me anymore.” Because like what a BADASS move?! Also him pretending to be able to read!!! Power move! I adore him so much.

Jesper telling Van Eck “I’ll read to him.” As in I’ll read to Wylan, as in I will not leave him, as in I LOVE THAT MAN?!

I have never loved a group of characters so much, my beautiful crows ❤️

i love how kaz just knew sturmhond was nikolai because he talks too rich to be a privateer. like there wasn't anything else, just "you talk rich."

"LEIGH BARDUGO IS A MISOGYNYST! ALINA SHOULD HAVE BEEN POWERFULL AND LIVE AS THE CONSORT OF A KING INSTEAD OF A DOMESTIC LIFE WITH HER HUSBAND!"

"LEIGH BARDUGO IS A MISOGYNYST! NINA ZENIK SHOULD HAVE LIVED A DOMESTIC LIFE WITH HER HUSBAND INSTEAD OF BEING POWERFULL AND LIVE AS THE CONSORT OF A KING!"

Yeah, i am starting to think its really not about the endings , but about people not being able to separate them from their ships

Kaz really said that if you love a girl, don’t wait for her to introduce you to her parents. Introduce her to her parents

thinking about dirtyhands and the wraith. thinking about kaz teaching inej how to mythologize herself as a method of protection like he did. thinking abt the fact that kaz was the first person to ever call her dangerous. thinking abt kaz gifting inej her first knife. thinking abt how inej is the one to frighten pekka rollins badly enough that he will never return to ketterdam. thinking abt-

SPOILER WARNING

Throwback to that time I had a vivid dream that it was my nineteenth birthday and my friend gave me a cake that said “congrats, you’ve officially outlived Matthias Helvar” what a wild dream that was

Love how Inej’s love language is acts of service and Kaz’s love language is protection through violence; and in the end of the books Kaz is the one who buys off Inej’s freedom and finds and brings her family back and Inej is the one who carves out Pekka Rollins’ heart and puts the fear of God in him. They exchanged love languages <3
