star trek fans specifically are crazy for that. you say "im not really comfortable watching tos because of the way captain kirk interacts with women" and 900000 people come crawling oit of the woodwork to say UM ACTUALLY kirk is a GENTLEMAN FEMINIST who is ALWAYS NICE and VERY BISEXUAL! and the only people who think he acts like that are the DUMB PIG CHAUVINIST MEN who think kirk is LIKE THEM! okay im actually referring to how he constantly grabs at women esp when they're unhappy and physically restrains them. or the weird sexually charged comments he makes. or his persistent assumption of all women as available and simple things to be acquired or controlled. and sometimes they lobby back with the "well Its Made In The Sixties so of course its Dated but its still PROGRESSIVE!" okay well its so dated that im not comfortable. i cant just say to myself "oh well it was another time" and immediately become blind to whats happening before my eyes.

[ID: a pixel art gif of Five and Delores sitting on rotting lounge chairs by a pool in the apocalypse. Delores, made human by FIve's perspective, is swinging her legs, and Five is reading a book. There are four colors; yellow, hot pink, lime green, and blue. Music notes emerge from a radio. The sky is completely obscured by yellow, shifting clouds. End ID]
sometimes a guy has gotta have a vacation, even in the middle of the apocalypse.

Why is no one talking about Kaz's new cane??
When I watched episode eight, I immediately noticed this at the end and assumed there would be posts and theories galore about it. But ig i have to do everything myself >:|
So for the first season and most of the second, Kaz carries a cane with a gold crow topper. This is a sculpted crow head with feather details, a medium-sized beak, and a jewel eye.
But in his last scene (i think), he carries a cane with a completely different, intricately textured shaft, topped with a long-beaked silver crow skull.
This is very interesting and telling for me in terms of his growing character and internal strife at this point in the story! Inej is away, she has refused his advances because of his complete emotional unavailability and lack of a good coping mechanism for his grief and trauma. (Mans needs a therapist stat.) In this scene, he tells a Dreg to start hiring out girls who work at the Menagerie, namely one named Kesh, who Inej mentioned in early season one as her informant for Drussen's (later revealed to actually be Nikolai's) job. He's actually accepting and implementing Inej's advice, which he basically never does, enormous simp that he is. Clearly, he's pining and in his emo boy era (though one could argue he's been this way since day one).
The cane is also silver rather than gold, and I might be reading too much into it, but it could represent his shifting motivation. He's moving away from money, towards what really matters: the friends we make along the way (I'm talking of Inej, of course *Jesper wink*). Though, of course, we still have the Ice Court heist! But the silver and the skull definitely have hidden meanings. Kaz (iconically) told Pekka that when he and Jordie got firepox after being robbed and scammed, they both died. But one of them (Kaz. obviously.) was reborn. I mean, what part of Kaz does not play into his trauma?? He literally got an R tattooed on him. A cane that nods to his past, his rebirth, and his new way of life (such as forcefully removing eyeballs when someone looks at his girl wrong) is completely possible.
Also we've been complaining about the gold cane since day one, so. Maybe someone in props got sick of it. Who knows. Add your ideas!! I'm dumb and I miss things!!! Anyway his new cane is sick as hell and I can't wait to watch him smack people with it in the crows spin-off (keep rewatching s2 so we get it! it sucks ik but that's how it is :|) and look really really cool while doing it.
