#soc talk

[zaritarazi]

i want to talk more about the fact that kaz learned most of his tricks from street magicians and traveling performers. i want to discuss kaz brekker and his ceaseless little magic tricks. he's literally a party magician but he's so fucking serious about it. he bests the darkling with a magic trick. he tries to convince inej that alina isn't that great or impressive by making a fucking quarter appear. saints? not real. not cool. you know what is cool? this quarter. why are you walking away

at the PEAK of his revenge scheme, when he's finally getting what he wants, when pekka is on his knees, think about what fucking kaz does. another silly little magic trick. he's standing there, covered in blood and sweat, hat gone. hat in the wind. hat RIP in pieces. hatless. and he's like like ah, yes. time for my incredibly good appearing pen trick. you may remember this from my flashback two episodes ago

matthias naming his dog troublemaker (trassel's literal meaning big tangle/state of confusion in swedish) vs hanne naming his horse belligerence (helmut meaning helmet like a protector, from hellmuth, fighting/battle spirit in german). they are the most annoying people i know

Y'all saying they fully erased Inej's trauma in s2 for the sake of Kaz's, as if the whole point of her hallucination in episode 6 wasn't her desire for someone to ask for consent before touching her-

Matthias: When I first met you, I did not like you. Kaz: I'm aware of that. Matthias: But then you and I had some time together. Kaz: Uh-huh? Matthias: It did not get better.

just saw a screenshot of the worst TikTok ever y'all

#NOW I KNOW YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT *KAZ BREKKER*?!?!?!?! #six of crows #soc wank #kaz brekker #so many people stopped at 'kaz brekker didn't need a reason' and didn't read the 3 paragraphs immediately afterwards #actually so many people stopped at 'kaz brekker didn't need a reason' and proceeded to just not read the whole duology #anyway kaz a) absolutely cares b) isn't a serial killer (gang violence is different I s2g) and c) is not an 'evil Sherlock Holmes' (wtf)

[agent-tempest]

When Pekka says ''Then we are even" and Kaz replies "Not even close" Damn that mf really does not remember anything does he

He had the audacity to say, ThEn We ArE eVeN. No bitch we are not and never will be EvEn

trying to characterize wylan as a “mini kaz” in combatting his infantilization is STILL mischaracterizing him. like yes, he ISN’T a weak “uwu smol bean” but he also isn’t some ruthless criminal. he never particularly WANTED to be part of barrel life and he never intended on staying. he found himself there out of necessity. what i absolutely love about his character is that he shows his strength without needing to be ruthless or violent, because strength can be shown in so many different ways. yes, he isn’t some weak baby and he also isn’t some ruthless, violent criminal. he’s neither of those and THAT is what’s so important about his character. and it really bothers me when people can’t even acknowledge the depth of that.

#i saw a tiktok about this and i just wanted to talk about it as well #wylan IS a badass. #but you don’t NEED to be violent to be one. #and that’s what i love so much about wylan #six of crows #soc #crooked kingdom #ck #shadow and bone #s&b #wylan van eck #leigh bardugo

I feel like people sometimes have a tendency to paint Inej as a little too wide-eyed and borderline naive and I feel like that's such a misread and disservice to her character, because her faith and hope for a better future isn't some misguided assumption that everything will be okay or that the world isn't so bad. She knows exactly how bad things can be and exactly what kind of evil people are capable of, and she's saying "fuck you, you can take my autonomy and my childhood and maybe I'll never see my family or home again, but I will literally die before I let make me think that the shit I've been through is all there is. The beauty and love I experienced was real and valuable and nothing you do or say will make me let go of that or believe it's not possible for me to have again," and it is genuinely the most incredible and real thing in those books.

Inej has fought tooth and nail for every ounce of goodness she has and she'll keep wringing it out of the world because those things are real and possible no matter what, and there's nothing naive about it.

#it's crying about inej hours again #it's literally always crying about inej hours #she makes me soooooooooooo #i will literally kill for this girl #like time and time again the books prove her right and Kaz's extreme nihilism wrong and yet people will talk about it like he's the one who #'really sees the world as it is'. AND HE KNOWS SHE'S RIGHT AND SHE'S STRONGER FOR STILL HAVING FAITH. HE LITERALLY SAYS IT. #deadass wanna be like her when I grow up #not to say kaz doesn't have every reason to believe what he does about the world's cruelty but these books are literally full of these kids #creating the space of love and safety they were denied for each other even as he says it's not possible #inej ghafa #kanej #six of crows #soc #crooked kingdom #inej ghafa my beloved

and the thing is, i'm not saying kaz isn't also a serious person. he's very serious. he's deeply committed to the bit, usually at the detriment of everyone around him. he has such an annoying sense of humor. like, what else is he supposed to do? he's a little jewish boy trapped in a dickensian nightmare. what can he do but laugh at himself and this whole situation? he clearly doesn't find it funny at all, but at the same time, is constantly making little remarks only for the purpose of amusing himself. and inej. and also for inej as well. let me put inej here a third time for emphasis. anyway.

like if you think about it, jesper is more obvious with using attention-seeking and humor to run away from reality, but kaz wouldn't be friends with jesper if that really bothered him. he needs that. he's not going to admit it, but jesper sure is still here, isn't he? kaz and jesper undercutting each other and chuckling to themselves is literally how they get through the day, sometimes. this isn't about how jesper makes inej laugh more and kaz is always at least 50% seething about that. he's seething about everything. that's a man who is always at a low, roiling boil. listen. listen.

look. i'm trying to say people can be many things, as i made a funny little post about him doing magic tricks but don't want him to get flattened. so while kaz is very wet and traumatized, he's also surprisingly funny and bombastic. all the crows are like this, but i don't feel like going any further into it. striated. have layer

#also because fundamentally this book doesn't work if everyone isn't at least a little funny #kaz brekker voice come on. mime is money. get out there #kaz brekker #soc talk #six of crows #inej ghafa #kanej #jesper fahey #kesper

I feel like we as a society don't talk enough about the fact that Kaz litrly gauges someone's eye out with his hands. Gloved, sure, but with his fucking hands nontheless. I still sometimes forget that this happened and casually remember it every once in a while and I just sit there like huh. that's that.

Like this boy can't handle physical contact, his fuck-it-we-fight or fucking-flight response kicks in when someone, anyone, inej even, touches him even with layers of clothes between them. He stiffens and turns into bricks and is probably thinking of ways to cut off that hand and toss it off the face of the planet and yet, this mf goes "hmm yes weapon of choice: my hand" when beating up Oomen. Jesper mustve flinched to see kaz being kaz. Matthias and wylan traumatized for life. I traumatized for life. Kaz? Wipes his face and hand and fucking sticks the kerchief in oomen's now-empty eye socket. Fucking lunatic
