“What bound them together? Greed? Desperation? Was it the knowledge that if one or all of them disappeared tonight, no one would come looking?”

books (re)read in 2023. six of crows (& crooked kingdom) by leigh bardugo.

no mourners, no funerals. another way of saying good luck. but it was something more. a dark wink to the fact that there would be no expensive burials for people like them, no marble markers to remember their names, no wreaths of myrtle and rose.

“Greed is your god, Kaz." He almost laughed at that. "No, Inej. Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever."

“Do you think I’m like the Darkling?” I studied him — the golden hair, the sharp uniform, those too-clever hazel eyes. “No,” I said slowly. “I don’t think you are.” I rose to go join Mal. “But I’ve been wrong before.” — "siege & storm" *** At night they were the jaunty dandies, at daylight — knights of bitter wars. They weren’t "royalists" and "traitors" — they were all their country’s sons. But that life span in short-lived cyclone, and passed like fleeting summer cloud, Above impassible horizon their guiding star was burning out. — "to the generals of the russian civil war"

She was not a lynx or a spider or even the Wraith. She was Inej Ghafa, and her future was waiting above. Climb, Inej. (for the @litjoycrate Six of Crows box set)

Compilation of commissions for Gaza

[thegrishaversenet]

commission for an extremely generous donation to the Gazan families in my bio by @six.ketterdam.crows ❣️ donate and I draw you anything you want

tbh I never saw myself drawing this scene, but I'm glad this commission gave me the opportunity to think about it. I wanted to show the scene in a way that was hopeful but not romantic; to see the moment through Inej's eyes rather than objectifying her (as a trafficking victim forced to be fetishized). I wanted it to be beautiful in a terrifying way, where things appear gilded but when you look into the shadows, they are in a cage filled with objects snatched out of context and displayed as "exotic" paraphernalia. I wanted Kaz to be a source of hope but not a savior; Inej is performing an escape act in this moment, and he's the audience. It was also my first time doing a real room and treating it as a character, which was a learning experience toward a goal of mine.

"She's right," added Genya. "To be the ones to rule, instead of just serve.”
