breaking news: the two thieves that just robbed you are in love

“A gambler, a convict, a wayward son, a lost Grisha, a Suli girl who had become a killer, a boy from the Barrel who had become something worse.”  

The Crows at the beginning of Six of Crows and at the end of Crooked Kingdom. I wanted to draw hands and it grew into something more. The designs are inspired by both the show and the books.

ID under the cut.

[ID: Three picture, the first is a looping gif of the other two. The second is a digital drawing of the six Crows' hands on a table in a circle, above a map. In the first drawing, the map is the Ice Court. Clockwise, Wylan is holding a pen and drawing on the map with one hand and holding a grenade with the other. Jesper has three playing cards and a revolver. Matthias has shackles around his wrists and bloody knuckles, and he’s pointing at something on the map. Nina is holding a heart, wearing the Crows and a rose tattoo. Kaz’s hands are gloved, one on his crow headed cane and the other holding a coin with a crow on it. Inej has three throwing knives in one hand and a dagger in the other. There are other coins scattered around the picture.

In the third image, the map is Ketterdam. Wylan is still holding a pen and his other hand is clasped with Jesper’s. Jesper has his revolver. Matthias’s hands are shackle free but they’re ghostly, and one of them is on Nina’s hand. Nina’s other hand holds a human bone. Kaz has his left glove in his right hand, above his cane, and his left hand is ungloved and brushing against Inej’s hand. Inej still has her dagger in the other hand, which has a ship etched onto the blade. End ID]

six of crows as cards !

i love every part of six of crows and all the ships but it also defines found family and soulmates so well because every crow loves every other in such a specific and perfect way, the kind that reminds you this is a group of teenagers who are fighting the world but still have all this capacity for love.

you have kaz and inej's best friends to lovers, their little window-sitting routine where they don't need to talk to feel each other. you have nina and inej's waffle dates and complaints about boys and faith in each other. you have wylan and nina's little scheme with smeet, the way he's impressed with her and the way she teases about bullying him. you have wylan and matthias, matthias wondering if he'll have to intercede while kaz has his cane to wylan's throat, wylan considering matthias the naive one of them. you have matthias and jesper, jesper being the flirt and matthias getting embarassed by him and thinking he's hilarious, jesper thinking matthias has this heart full of honor. you have jesper and nina, both flirting ketterdam into submission, dealing with their at first ignorant boyfriends, sharing camaraderie. you have nina and kaz, the obnoxious completely platonic flirting and the grudging respect for each other's skills, the two of them playing each other but still being in each other's corner. you have kaz and wylan and the way kaz sees himself in wylan and wylan sees a figure to respect in kaz, kaz telling wylan to have no shame in who he is, falling on top of a table together. you have wylan and inej and their mutual bond dating two idiotic brothers, the oft underestimated ones of the group, finding peace in each other as people who want to be good. you have inej and jesper and their care for each other, their mutual crush on kaz and the sheer angst jesper feels when he realizes he may have hurt her. you have jesper and kaz who are like brothers but first and foremost best friends, two boys who just want the other to be better, who understand each other's weaknesses better than themselves. you have kaz and matthias, the druskelle and the demjin, the teasing that comes from a grudging and then deserved sense of mutual respect. you have matthias and nina and falling in love after a shipwreck, protecting someone even in death, finding each other, dreaming of each other. you have matthias and inej and bonding over religious conviction, matthias thinking inej is too good for kaz and inej teasing that he isn't enough for nina. you have jesper and wylan and a kiss that feels like a gunshot, the teasing and falling in with a love for each other's skills, for the ability to understand each other so intimately, the spin of a makker's wheel.

they love each other so much.

Keep talking, Wraith. Don’t slip away from me  (Preliminary sketch for my favourite scene from Six of Crows! It’s the first time it’s crystal clear how much Inej means to Kaz. He may be broken inside, but he would tear down the world for her 🖤)

— Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

HELP WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE

bonus:

no thoughts, just him

A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist.
