Something That Is Sad But Also That I Hugely Appreciate About CK Is That By The End, Most Of The Systems

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.

if someone ever likes a bunch of my posts i’d literally go insane lol :3

i’ll never understand why some people (mainly or other social media sites) will block someone because of “spam liking”? for me it makes me smile when I open my notifs and see someone’s been reading through my blog and liked a bunch of stuff. that means they enjoyed it🥰 I’m happy to be a blog with posts people enjoy going through lol

every story about their childhood ends with James going: 😨

anytime Sirius or Regulus starts a story by saying "when I was a child.." James has to brace himself for whatever he's about to hear

Season greetings to you my friend, I’m Izzy a 23y/o TransWoman who’s living under fear and terror from my Parents and hiding my socials from my Aunt who runs a big blog on this app. I’ve been threatened with a 14 year jail term by my dad and correctional home by Mom. My aunt caught some my interactions on this app and promised to tell my parents so they can act quick on me. I’m looking to flee to a more safer and transphobic free country to start afresh before my religious parents make their moves on me. Calling on all LGBTQ+ family to come to my aid— you can see my detailed story coupled with the link to help me by blog(last reblog). Thanks for taking your time to read. A boost on the post will also mean the world to me. God bless you my friend.

i hope that you are able to move to somewhere safer!!

even in the darkest timeline.. they are besties

and we love that

hypothetically, what if we invited our spanish study group to our newly bought apartment that we both share and while they’re over there’s a knock at the door and it’s the pizza delivery guy and we can’t decide who should go let him in so we roll a dice and one of the sides makes you leave to get the pizza and it lands us in the darkest timeline and our friends all get traumatized and you lose your larynx from attempting to eat a flaming troll doll but it’s okay because we’re still best friends despite it all and we wear felt goatees together?
