Genre Of Character: Submissive Like A Guard Dog Is Submissive

is this nOT WHAT HAP-

“Home is where the trees look normal” is the sweetest, saddest, most nostalgic truth I’ve ever heard.

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

I imagine they can get away with a LOT of pyrotechnics on stage, given their magic and tinkering. The fact they have a band together delights me.

a quiet night in the city we own

Okay, here's the thing.

Yes, they've sped things up and put them out of order, but this hasn't ruined anything. In fact, we now have a chance for a true Kanej relationship that we never got to see in the books.

We are now in a post Inej "ultimatum" timeline where they get to grow separately from each other for awhile. (I hesitate to call this version an ultimatum, it's more of a promise/threat and Freddy's acting really hammered home the idea that Kaz understands what she's asking of him.) We know Kaz is already starting to pull himself into the type of man she deserves by his offer to buy the indentures of the Menagerie girls. When Inej returns for the Ice Court job, she's going to find a Kaz who is already much closer to who we know at the end of Crooked Kingdom. She's going to find a Kaz willing to try for her.

And our favorite scenes work in this new context too.

Inej is stabbed and bleeding out?

Kaz carries her to the safety, the same way she pulled him to safety in Shu Han.

And do we really think he's going to be less violent towards the man who almost took her from him? After already admitting that she is what he wants? We're gonna be lucky if he doesn't set Oomen on fire.

The bathroom scene. Good God, the bathroom scene.

Last time he tried to help her, he couldn't even touch her with gloves on. This time, she's injured again and it's his fault and maybe he'll fail, but Saints be damned, he's gonna try.

I'm just saying, we now have a Kanej that knows they love each other. Think of them potential for longing looks and pain and trying to be what the other needs.

I am personally here for it.

(Please, anyone who can hear me. Give me a Six of Crows spin off. I will gladly give my soul.)

a comeback riz

i’m back, asks are open! talk to me about d20 pls <3 (if there’s anyone still interested in fh hahahaaaaa)

hope is a skill

does the ending recontexualise the beginning, that’s the question.

624 pages later anthony doerr has officially changed my life. we are all so interconnected and our actions do have consequences and i feel like we only think of the negative impacts we put on this world. carbon footprint. pollution. and what not. but maybe also our art and our poetry and our music and our hopes and dreams and love we hold within us also carries through the generations. by showing love in the present we nurture the future.
