I Cannot Be Trusted To Keep A Pfp..

Something that is sad but also that I hugely appreciate about CK is that by the end, most of the systems that harmed the crows are still in place, but their relationships with themselves have grown and changed. I find this particularly interesting in the cases of Jesper and Wylan (shocking I know). Their identities still put them in danger of being exploited or harmed - Grisha indentures are still the norm in Kerch, and the auction scene made it very clear that if the Council knew Wylan's illiteracy was true, they would treat him much the same as his father did due to the culture surrounding productivity and ability. This might seem disheartening, but the hope lies in the shift in how these characters see themselves and their role in the world. By the end of the book, Jesper and Wylan are beginning to put away their internalized shame surrounding their identities. They may still have to hide who they are from the world to survive, but they're no longer hiding it from themselves - their true selves are no longer this crushing burden they have to turn away from to function. A general theme of the series is how, in accepting who they are and what has happened to them on a personal level, the crows place themselves in positions to make change on a systemic level - Inej and her ship, Nina and her mission, Kaz and his Barrel empire, Wylan and Jesper with their political, high-society empire. None of them are all the way there yet by the end - they're still healing, and both the loss of Matthias and the weight of those oppressive systems are going to weigh on them for a long time - but we get to see the very beginnings of that process. I'm going to bite someone.

PLZ GIVE ME FIC RECS ABT THISSS 🙏

Yes I love a good adam lives au. But why isn't he more fucked up? Why is there not more fanfiction about him being a fucked traumatized weirdo? What if he was braindead for a little bit in that bathroom before he was defibrillated, and now he struggles with his speech, or memory or has mobility issues? What if he struggles with empathy now? What if he became a complete shut in after getting out of the bathroom? What if none of his old friends recognise him anymore, and they're all a little bit scared of him? or what if he's exactly the same except just a little bit off? what if the way he talks and moves and thinks is weird and offputting now? What if he has severe trust issues now, or what if the bathroom just completely and utterly changed who he is as a person???

Shout out to people who have complicated/complex genders

Shout out to people who are genderless

Shout out to people who don't use/have labels to describe their gender

Shout out to people who are still questioning their gender

😔

true, unfortunately

"ask them out, the worst thing they could do is say no" wrong, the worst thing they could do is get on a boat with actor Levar Burton and get kidnapped by pirates, not to be seen again

i eat it up everytime 😋

COMMUNITY QUOTE IN THE WILD

Wylan: Kaz, I think you should play the role of my father. Kaz: I don’t want to be your father. Wylan: That’s perfect. You already know your lines.

i made an amazon list for Nibblys costume!!

the shoes and gloves are the exact same, and i’m pretty sure so are the visors, wig, and skirt! the leg warmers are meant to be the things on his arms, but i couldn’t find anything similar sorry

obviously you could change some of this (like the shoes) to be cheaper or change items so that you’d be more likely to wear them normally, but my goal here was to be as accurate to the musical as i could!

ps. if you want the candy prop i’d recommend making one yourself, and i know there are lots of tutorials available <3 (although i think walmart sells them as decorative things maybe?)

a beautiful animation that i made at the request of my friend

the request was “a couple fighting” and then when i said ‘..ok’ she added “with hotdog costumes on” and obviously i then had to get started right away

How to prevent Netflix from cancelling Dead boy detectives? I'm already attached to this series, it will be a pity if another good show just gonna be cancelled after first season

Tell everyone you know, in real life and online, to watch it. Word of mouth is incredibly effective. Be an evangelist for the show.
