[fantastic-nonsense]

*takes you all by the shoulders* look at me. look at me. Kaz's true love isn't krugre, he's feigning because he doesn't want to admit "weakness" and acknowledge that he actually cares for people. Kaz pretending to care for nothing but money is a front. a facade. a lie.

if you genuinely think he loves money more than he loves his friends you're ignoring the entirety of Crooked Kingdom and buying into the persona he built for himself instead of seeing underneath the armor he wears

#there's a MUCH longer meta w/quotes and canon back-up buried in here somewhere but I don't have the time to write it right now #kaz wants money for the percieved power and ability it gives him to not lose everything and everyone he cares about (again) #not money for money's sake #he would and DID throw away his money in a heartbeat for inej (multiple times even!!!) #and he gave up his money so the Crows would be safe too (during the Geldrunner chapters) #the jokes were funny the first couple of times but now they just irritate me tbh...especially because people make them like 2x a day #kaz brekker #six of crows #soc meta #brotp: the crows
