I 100% respect your S&B spam. Like, I've never finished season one, simply because I'm a fucking perfectionist who hates change, but SoC is one of my all-time favorite books, and I love it so much. Kaz Brekker is also my most blorbo of blorbos, or one of them. I love him so much, and I will defend him with my life. Also, Inej is the orginial Knife Wife. No one will ever beat her for that spot. (Maybe someday I'll finish season one and watch season two... someday...) Also, Nikolai is going to finally show up, which is wild. He's my other most blorbo of all time, and I totally didn't write a 1k word thing about him and Kaz being mirrors of each other.

Actually, the book I'm reading right now is giving me strong SoC vibes. Like, very strong. Specifically in the "bunch of chaotic idiots (affectionate) pull of incredible cons" sort of way. It's called The Lies of Locke Lamora, and it's about a little tiny gang (5 people) of conmen and thieves called the Gentlemen Bastards (which is the most amazing name, honestly) and all the shenanigans they get up to. It's actually a trilogy, but I'm only on book one right now.

Okay, that is all. Sorry for rambling! <3

That's valid that you didn't finish season 1. I actually out of watching it for so long because, again, Six of Crows is my absolute favourite series of all time, so I was worried the show wouldn't do it justice. But so far it definitely has (for SoC at least, I don't actually remember most of what happened in SaB since it's been so long since I read it). I do enjoy the SaB parts of the series, but I have to be honest, sometimes I delude myself into thinking that SoC is the main plot and that SaB is the side plot even though it's definitely the other way around.

And yessss!! I'm excited for Nikolai to show up!!! (That reminds me, I need to get around to reading Rule of Wolves, since I haven't yet oops). AND WYLAN MY FRIEND WYLAN!!!! I'm so excited for him to show up!!! I'm so excited to get the SoC gang all together finally!!!!

And highkey I'd read that essay lmao.

And oooh that book sounds interesting! I'll definitely have to check it out!!! Gentleman Bastards is definitely an S Tier gang name (its kind of giving Gentleman Demon vibes tbh so extra Leigh Bardugo tie in lmao).

Pleaseeee don't apologise for rambling!!! Infodumping is good for you and I really like to hear other people infodump about their interests to me (I like asking my brother and dad about their special interests (even though my dad doesn't know he has them bc he doesn't know he's autistic, but I do), which involves a lot of me pretending to understand prehistoric animals and sports and the like).

I'd totally be down to talk to you more about the Grishaverse if you wanted to!!

holyyyshit you have a sab au please infodump to me abt it if you would like to ohhhmvgod i read “wilbur as kaz and niki as inej” and i think i’m going to melt that’s soooooooooihnndjkfmf

ok ok it's not super developed, mostly just character placements and random ideas, also this is mostly book soc based so mild, mild spoilers!!! because sab netflix version is like the prequel. anyway:

so first of all, wilbur as kaz, because of course he is (also two of my fav characters ever have way too many similarities it's a bit of a pattern lmao). wilbur is a hardened barrel boss, who keeps walls high up around himself because he's been hurt too many times to trust people. however, he's built himself a crew of people he trusts in tommy and niki (jesper and inej).

tommy is constantly trying to prove himself to wilbur, constantly trying to be more than just associates, but wilbur constantly keeps him at arm's length and he just- doesn't get why. tommy himself is a sharpshooter, a gambler, and a bit reckless, and it's this that he gets reprimanded by wilbur for the most. he and tubbo (wylan) get on like a house on fire, of course.

niki, on the other hand, takes exactly none of wilbur's shit. she knows he's a good man, knows he has the capability to open up, but also knows that she isn't going to be the one to do it for him. she has bigger dreams than fixing someone, she's gonna get her ship and fucking kill some slavers because it's what she deserves!

just "I'll have you without armor, or I will not have you all" type beat

and yet. these guys care for each other so much. wilbur would kill just about everyone for her, but he would never admit it, and he's so impressed with her, always. they see right through eachother.

techno, my favorite placement, is nina. a passionate grisha heartrender with the ability to stop heartbeats, but also heal wounds, albeit more clumsily.

his relationship with phil is at the forefront here. phil is taught to hate all grisha as a druskelle (witchhunter), and believes them all to be heartless monsters until circumstances literally force him and techno together.

and techno is- funny? and sarcastic? he grumbles and mocks phil but saves his life without question, like of course he would, and actually gets phil to laugh a few times. they slowly warm up to each other as they realize how easily they fit together, how well they fight together, until, of course, misunderstanding forces them apart and makes phil hate techno again.

wylan is tubbo, and it's not just because they're both dsylexic lmao. (they're also explosions guys). no, but tubbo is their demolitions man, new to the team and severely underestimated due to being perceived as nonthreatening. in fact, he's mainly brought on because his dad is schlatt (van eck), and he serves as a wonderful hostage, until they realize just how valuable he is. he's a hidden badass and has a storyline focusing around discovering self worth.

also ranboo is kuwei but that's more ck than soc

beyond removing the romance, the story would progress as usual with a few small changes. I'm mostly excited about lock pic wilbur, niki with knives and incorporating the menagerie backstory, the wilbur calls tommy his brother by accident during an argument scene, and any phil and techno scenes.
