I need to see a conversation between Gansey and Jeremy Knox
I just think it would be interesting
You know what. Fuck you.
*unhallows your ween*
I’ve been longing after you
Longing after you since
the start x
The Kevin Day history nerd agenda has been eating me up, like, what's his favourite historical era? Modern or ancient history? Also, is he into politics too? Who's his favourite historical figure? What's his favourite useless history fact? Favourite documentary? Does he learn a lot about Irish and French history because they remind him of his mum and Jean? Does he prefer ancient Rome or Greece? Does he info dump on Neil and Andrew when Andrew won't let him watch Exy and he's bored? I have so many questions!!!!
All The Small Things
Fic for my beloved moot @thefluffiestbird !!!!!!! they wrote an awesome post a while back and it spun around in my head and now it's finally here :)
Summary:
“Do I need to go home and get the list?” Andrew asked, like he couldn’t hear Neil falling apart on the other end. He would have reached for Andrew to slow his spiral right now, but the only thing he had was a phone in his hand and the sound of Andrew’s voice.
Neil hesitated. He could say yes. This was the longest amount of time he’d been on the phone since Andrew had forced the wretched thing into his hands a lifetime ago.
*me, literally sick with want* whatever
I have been going back and forth on these for so long?? These are technically the first drawings I ever did of Neil or Allison, they're part of a bigger conglomerate but I don't love the drawings that I did for all of them.,. I keep coming back to these two, though! haha I love them! They're besties, I'm convinced.
I can't express enough just how important Kaz Brekker is for younger disabled people. I first read Six of Crows when I was sixteen years old and just starting to experience more severe symptoms of my chronic illness. I refused to get a mobility aid because I felt like it was admitting defeat, like it would make me weak. Then I read about Kaz Brekker- a boy my age going through similar pain and need for aid that I am, and he was Strong. He wasn't just strong in spite of his disability, he was stronger For it. Having such a strong, dangerous, and honestly just Really Cool character with a disability not entirely unlike my own completely shifted my view of my limitations. I got myself the cane I needed and I started to feel almost proud to walk with it. It turned from something that made me feel weak into something that felt powerful and defiant- like I was reminding a world that wasn't designed for people like me to live in that I will Not accept defeat and that I will continue to live my life using the tools at my disposal. Without that representation I might not have reached that place of acceptance, especially not so quickly..
We have disability representation in media, but often those characters are portrayed as softer, weaker, quieter characters. Those one-note portrayals made me feel like that's all I could ever be. Then Kaz Brekker came in and showed me that people like me can be strong too. That means the world to young disabled people. We need representation like this. We need to feel strong again.
I really hope Nora writes the story she wants to tell. I really hope she doesn't feel she has to compromise her view to appease the fandom or a subset of it. This applies both for The Broken Cage and the Kevin books. I may not ship Kevin and Thea, but I'm excited to know her, to see how their relationship started and how they complement each other. Even if it's not my cup of tea, I'm willing to give a straight ship a chance lol. And idk, maybe we'll have a confirmation that Kevin is bi (we all know there's no hetero explanation for Kevin), and I wouldn’t mind if he ends up with Thea, as longs as it is interesting. Knowing Nora, it will be very, very interesting.
And hey, if we're sad that Kandreil or Kerejean or any other Kevin ship isn't canon, we can still fanfic our hearts away.
But I just really, really want Nora to do what she wants, and for us as fans of her and her work to respect that. I want her to have fun while writing, as her clear passion and enjoyment that gives these books that spice that we love so much. Whatever she has in store, I just can wait for it.
omg they were roommates
