#do people not remember The Crow?

[veritasrose]

Everyone is saying Higgs has Joker makeup, but he doesn’t. That is The Crow! Maybe I am just an old goth but it is so obvious!

Like:

Literally comes back from the dead to seek vengeance and wields a guitar!

Kojima is paying homage to the legend!

#death stranding 2 on the beach #higgs monaghan #death stranding 2 #do people not remember The Crow? #am I that old? #if you haven’t seen it or read the comics I highly recommend

in the interviews:

in the show:

#i remember when the interviews came out people would post kit and jack doing the shrug #and then when the show came out it was jesper and wylan lol #grishaverse #six of crows #shadow and bone #soc #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #wesper #1k

It's always so funny to me when people call Kaz a serial killer or a murderer bc like. boy do I have news for you about the other crows.

#like idk how to tell you this bestie but every single one of them has a kill count. yes even wylan. #prime example of getting so caught up in the aesthetics or character types that you miss the actual reality of what happens in #a story #also i'm not sure serial killer is even an accurate description #similar to when people started referring to inej as an assassin. like bestie that is straight up not what she does. and if it was she's #doing a terrible job. the books tell you a million times that she's a spy #to be clear this isn't an 'uwu kaz did nothing wrong' post esp bc most of the time when ppl call him this they're not actually criticizing #his actions. it's just a pattern i noticed. if anything its a 'stop sanitizing the rest of the crows' post. #but it is interesting to me that kaz is the only character that people will really joke about having killed people #something something you've bought into the dirtyhands legend #i feel like i've made some version of this post in the past but i don't remember so you're hearing it again #six of crows #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #matthias helvar #nina zenik

guys sometimes i forget that other people are humans too. there is so much bad in this world - that is true. but there is so much good!!!!! there was a little girl dancing at church, so beautiful and carefree and happy it made me smile so much!! there were women, on the train, laughing and giggling over who knows what but they were human and just living!!!! a guy at a sports game just chatted to my brother + i, so kind, joking with us, laughing. he was also human!!! a woman on a plane with me - i've never talked to her and i never will again - offered me some of her chocolates!!

people are good and people are bad because we are human!!! i forget that sometimes but i think its important to try + remember !!!!

#i hope people see this #i hope you remember to be kind today #happy #random #just a little cutesy post #thoughts #im thinking #guys im tagging this with random stuff bc i want ppl to see #twk #tcp #soc #the cruel prince #six of crows #dont judge #wholesome #idk what to tag #lol #books #reading #shitpost #shower thoughts #do ppl still say shower thoughts? #spilled poetry

happy pride month remember trans rights are human rights and no cops at pride and rainbow capitalism is a scam!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

#no one is more 'be gay do crime' than the crows #also remember ​queerness is a lovely and sacred facet of identity but it does not absolve you of other biases!! #intersectionality is so so important! #queer people are not a monolith! queerness means different things to different people! and that's kickass!!! #the fight for queer liberation is part of a larger struggle against multiple interlocking systems of oppression!! #you cannot separate them! #the first pride was a riot #communities not corporations are the face of the revolution #also i stg if they don't let nina kiss more people in the spin-off (MANIFEST MANIFEST MANIFEST) i will riot #let women kiss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in media and in real life!!!! #shadow and bone #six of crows #crooked kingdom #sab #shadow and bone season 2 #wylan van eck #nina zenik #jesper fahey #inej ghafa #kaz brekker #matthias helvar #sab cast #jack wolfe #danielle galligan #kit young #amita suman #freddy carter #calahan skogman #no cops at pride #trans rights are human rights

word searching through the books for a meta I'm writing on Inej's indenture right now and every time there's a new passage about it I just have to laugh at the people who pretend like Kaz could have just paid it off at any time

#six of crows #inej ghafa #kaz brekker #every time I re-read passages about her indenture and how Kaz got her out of the Menagerie & then remember how some people talk about it #I am vividly reminded that most people do not understand how predatory loans work or how indentured servitude worked historically

i finished lightfall like two weeks ago and tbh i was expecting it to be waaaaay worse. bc its not bad.

like, speaking as a player who got into the game less than a month ago, who knows more or less what happened in d1 and in the vaulted content, it was... fine

know whats kinda bad?

shadowkeep.

shadowkeep is... rough. im dragging my brother through it rn and its a Time. the campaign quests are okay, i guess, but the whole ~forge an armor piece by piece~ is boring and the "do this bounty", "do events two dozen times", "kill things" between campaign missions are SO painful. especially because i have almost NO context re: who these nightmares are. i never met crota. i never met taniks. i only know who these people are bc i watched a 4 hour summary of destiny's story. none of this mattered or made much sense to me.

i love the atmosphere on the moon, tho. and eris is great.

but i distinctly remember finishing shadowkeep and going "thats it?" and "are all the campaigns going to be like this????" and feeling dread because ffxiv is my main game and i had a very different idea of what a campaign should be bc i had already bought beyond light. which im really glad i did bc i went on to play it out of spite and it was much better. witch queen was fantastic. and lightfall was good.

so for me, it's witch queen -> ligthfall -> beyond light -> shadowkeep.

lightfall does have "this couldve been an email" vibes and the final boss fight is a huge letdown if compared to witch queen's but i dont think the story/campaign is a bad as ppl make it out to be tbh

#also i love nimbus #i also loved fynch #and besides ghost these are the two characters i grew to like in game #savathun and crow (two characters i love too) grew on me bc of the lore and youtube videos i watched #since i have no access to content with them bc of the vaulted stuff #anyway id be more worried about shadowkeep letting down players who start playing destiny 2 and want to do everything in order #bc lightfall is actually fine #ok since im here im going to rant a bit about the vaulted stuff #i know you guys have heard (and said) that before but its so stupid #theres a scene in witch queen where savathun tries to tempt our ghost and hes like “nah!! i remember what you did to all my friends” #and proceeds to list said friends #and im like #i have met none of these people #NONE #imagine if i didnt have chronic boredom and hadnt watched this 4 hour video about the lore of a video game i was never planning to play #i would have no idea of who these people were #and like. it fell flat. bc i still dont know these ppl. but it wouldve been SO much worse #anyway lightfall is okay the soundtrack is great neomuna is super pretty #also nimbus #destiny 2 #ren.txt #last thing its bonkers to me that my first introduction to crow was the season of defiance cutscene where amanda kills him #i met this character who has such a rich story by a 'im so beefy' flirty line to a character i did not know at all (amanda) #like wtf are you doing bungie

[dollopheadsandclotpoles]

People are posting on the Six of Crows tag just to get mad at people for saying they don't like the show??? Oof. Please grow up. People are allowed to have opinions on adaptations???

#six of crows #soc #shadow and bone #anti shadow and bone #i haven't seen s2 yet but s1 had enough problems #and now i'm hearing inej is violently beaten up #they do crooked kingdom plot points with no build up #wesper had a one night stand??? and they had the bi character not remember it #(idk that last one feels like it's perpetuating the whole bi people are slutty stereotype) #and idk in general I loved the wesper slow burn and them irritating each other and just... UGH #and the kanej stuff also the subtle development #Look man I loved this series so much and I'm allowed to be pissed off that they did a shite job adapting it #i didn't want a fanfic version of the books I wanted an adaptation?????

[sundial-girl]

would hiki be a friends with the crows person or a friends with the crabs person

more inclined to say the crows b/c aside from a sense of bird favoritism, i feel like its easier for him to actually encounter crows?? like crabs live near the sea man (and/or some large bodies of freshwater ig but lets ignore that for these purposes)... when/where is lil ghost boy gonna pull up to the ocean 😭😭😭

given crows' intelligence now you're just giving me the mental image of him trying (and failing) to convert crows to religion and ahkhskjhakjhskjghkjh 😂😂😭😭😭

#ask #i would draw this but I CANT RN 🤬🤬😭😭😭 curse having to work on hw (yes im procrastinating but sh.) #(i dont have my drawing tablet is the point. i could do it on my phone sure but i dont like drawing on there :')) #isnt there something in the bible about eating seafood? i might be thinking of other dietary restrictions (sorry idk much abt religions) #not that im saying hiki would like. scoop up the crabs and eat them raw but hakjhskjg 😭😭😭 i looked up 'do crabs go to heaven' for this #IF THEYRE HIS FRIENDS HE WOULDNT EAT THEM I DONT THINK?? anyways ignoring that #a lot of this i feel depends on like. personal interpretations and ideas whatever. like if your hiki is actually alive (which he is iirc) #or not. i remember hearing something about ghosts and not being able to cross water but that could b wrong. and again i usually have him as #a ghost or smthn. you could also argue even w/ the crows then too some people say animals are affected by paranormal activity so? #the crows could also potentially sense something and not like it. but idk. i cant think of any particular religious connotation w/ crows #other birds yes but i dont know abt crows. i personally tho fucking love corvids so i think he should b friends w/ them yes #(sorry is my bird favoritism thinly veiled? 😭 IM SORRY i swear i like sea creatures too but like. birds is easier to access) #i do have some potential ocean-related hiki ideas but thats also leaning more towards some personal hcs so? yuh. #ok tldr; i think crows fits him aesthetically better but i feel he could be friends w/ both. just depends on a lot of other things #vocaloid #utau

[caramelmochacrow]

i am a guy/dude. (<- they have no feelings abt saying this whatsoever)

*uses he/him in some shape or form* (<- he is happy af to the point that his stomach is churning and he feels giddy)

#crow talks #might try using he/him when talking abt myself more #if i cant do it irl might as well do it online #doesnt mean i hate they/them tho i like that one a lot #they/them is. for if u dont know me very well. #they/them is like my comfort zone. me likey. #but he/him is like the forbidden fruit #i have been denied of such a thing until i gave into my selfish desires #but it could just be me but it doesnt feel selfish. just a desire in general. #maybe the reason i like he/him is bc ive always been told that if i like “boy” stuff im a “boy” ever since i remember #EVEN LIKE. JUST. COLORS?? #like i say i like blue and suddenly im a man? #ty for the free testosterone color blue??? #also. oh no u like. like BEYBLADES??? u. ur one of the guys now!!!! oh the despair!!!! (sarcasm) #beyblades are fucking cool ok? i only played it three times in my life bc of fucked up gender shit #also i lost friends bc of it in my last school #we kept hanging out together during school and did normal friend shit yk? #then people started saying one of them liked me and at first it was just 'haha ok lol we're just friends' #then after a year it became fucking 'oooh yeah sorry we're not going to hang out w u anymore' to the point we lost touch #sick of it. #befriending people who were the same gender as me also messes me up bc i had nothing in common w them at school. #i did not know what the fuck they were saying when they talked abt popular/anything relating to social media #they talk abt a new show and say something and im just going ???? #im still dealing w this rn but less stressful and confusing bc i know some slang now #but i still have no clue what the fuck is happening sometimes

[ajs-art]

they're best friends your honor

#crow #carrion #thats a bold faced lie btw they are not. #carrion doesnt like crow but she IS its best friend #however carrion is not crow's best friend nor frankly are they her friend at all lol #probably crow's best friend if i had to actually flay it open would be like. max i think. #or atticus. i think unfortunately hes not mean enough to keep up with the best friend role as dearly as we all love him #you (reading this) love atticus. #summer and i say this with the deepest sorrow in my heart is discounted from the best friend position #on the basis that due to unfortunate circumstances technically she did fuck the closest thing crow ever had to a father (derogatory) #they both try not to acknowledge or think about it ever #actually i forgot about this but a lot of what early early early firstdays crow got up to was kust. #just* showing up where That Guy was and trying to bail him out of fatal situations #like there was a thing with a guy and a bat once and then the whole whatever fucking asteroid shit.dont remember details and the records r #lost to time. anyway #its funny that basically what shes doing now which is showing up and bailing ppl out of their problems #is what she was doing in the first place when she had basically no identity #ya so summers out. tony is himself. #kiki is off somewhere being mean to people and solving mysteries or whatever the fuck #+ those four are basically the only four that are contemporary enough with her creation in real time to respect as equals lol. #so its gotta b max #also backtracking its not a problem for crow that summer is dating lauren thats fine.its just that guy

[bitchthefuck1]

Every time I see someone call Inej an assassin part of my soul dies a little

#besties that isn't her job! its just factually incorrect to call her that! #i don't remember seeing it happen before sab which for some fucking reason repeatedly calls her one when. again. its just not correct. so #im choosing to blame sab and a general lack of reading comprehension #like i get that if you call her a spider ppl who haven't seen the show wont know what you mean but the word spy is literally right there #and its much closer to the truth but i guess that wasnt girl boss knife wife enough for them #it does get really funny when they use the assassin label even though she hasnt killed anyone by the time the show is happening so she just #seems kind of incompetent (like most of the crows do tbh). like if you have a moral opposition against killing ppl and you've never taken a #like you mislabeled her character even in your own universe #anyways we dont need to rehash all the reasons its a bad show #one of these days im gonna do some internet sleuthing and try to figure out what was in her wiki entry before the show was announced to see #if it called her that bc if it did then we can prove these dummies didn't read the book and just skimmed the internet #before anyone nitpicks me idk if they actually call her an assasin in the show itself but they called her one in all the promo materials #inej ghafa #shadow and bone #anti shadow and bone #*people who haven't read the book. not seen the show

[bellamyblcke]

just finished my six of crows/crooked kingdom reread and i am actually pretty aghast at how many scenes the showrunners direct lifted but placed in a completely different order, like in a book series lauded for its character arcs you put the important beats for each character in a different order? girliepop, why? it’s almost like one scene is meant to build on another.

#like the realization that kaz is not completely a creature of vengeance #re: the crows remember the faces of people who were kind #is the end of his arc #it’s his very last scene #and they put it season one #why would you do that #six of crows #shadow and bone #i am just simply a book fan first #and a believer that if they were going to prequel they should have thought harder about how to prequel appropriately

[paradife-loft]

lmao I keep getting into the Usagi/Seiya plotline since it... genuinely actually works and also manages to highlight Usagi/Mamoru well (in a way they... aren't great at doing when they're actually both in the same room, oops)

and then someone always barges in BUT USAGIIII DON'T YOU ALREADY HAVE A SPECIAL SOMEONE??????!!!!!! like the world's most unnecessary Sailor Kool-Aid Man

Usagi's got two hands and genuine feelings for both of them, y'all, leave her alone

#in other news this season feels like it has too many characters and not enough good direction on what to do with them #the outer senshi despite going on about WE GOTTA DEFEND YOU FROM EXTERNAL THREATS are...... fighting with the starlights #instead of the Literal Definite Threats From Outside the Solar System? #like yes I get that the starlights are kind of sketchy and/or assholes but. Mouse/Siren/Crow/Nyanko are Right There. priorities guys #Saturn just kind of wandered off and disappeared after the Nehelenia business...? #Chibichibi was structurally set up to mirror Chibiusa's position in the family but so far has just been a walking plot device #and not well integrated into the rest of the cast or show #partially I suspect they spent too long on the ''nobody knows who the others are!!!!'' dramatic irony and it's thrown the pacing off #and also. unfortunately. galaxia is boring #(this makes me feel broadly vindicated in my preference for the villains' anime backstories that are more personalized) #(compared to the manga's ''they're all incarnations of chaos'' thing or w/e it is? bc chaos....... is just kind of dull) #.......anyway contemplating how I'd patch stuff up #I think I'd shift it around so HaruMichi&tc are the ones primarily fighting the animamates w/ Usagi #& the inner senshi are trying to figure out what the deal is w the starlights (who they don't especially love) #something something disillusionment as they see how the 3 lights' personas are not especially nice people AND then also connect them #to these three fairly ruthless sailor senshi? #mixing around the social groupings also reinforces Usagi's loneliness after Mamoru gets put on a bus #and doing a little more with ChibiChibi as a parallel to Chibiusa - like there's a thing with the photo changing to leave out Chibiusa yes? #so bringing in more of that comparison (and having some unnerving creepy stuff of other people starting to not remember Chibiusa?) - #emphasizes the idea of ''fuck something's up something's happened to Mamoru that's affecting the future'' as a call-back #to earlier in the season when Nehelenia almost trapped him and made Chibiusa fade #(.....and if you REALLY must then Usagi can have Conflict Feelings about her little love triangle via attributing #Chibiusa's disappearance to the wrong cause) #..........this is way too long of a tag rant what am I doing with my life #James liveblogs television

ㅤif you're someone they like well enough to consider a friend, byan is kind of like a crow is with humans they like, in that they'll randomly bring little gifts and trinkets they think you'll like. are these usually things they've stolen? that's a dumb question, of course they are. if they see something anywhere — in a store, being worn by someone, doesn't matter where — that makes them think of you or that they know is the sort of thing you like, they'll steal it just for you.

sometimes they'll hand it to you in person, other times they leave it somewhere you'll find it with no explanation.

#they also like & steal shiny things so. tbh the crow/magpie energy byan has is pretty wild. #something something 'so when a crow remembers the face of someone who's wrong them they're intelligent but when i do it i'm a petty bitch' #anyway. this is a headcanon i've shared a lot in convos with people but idk if i've ever actually posted it? #i probably have but here it is again anyway #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ HEADCANON ⋮ DANGER IN THE FABRIC OF THIS THING I MADE.
