Come, thick night,

And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,

That my keen knife see not the wound it makes

Six of Crows is so good and it's the 10 Year Anniversary this year. It's such a good book everyone needs to read it.

Below is my reference image by JC Leyendecker

Kaz Brekker age 9 realizing the guy who killed his brother is literally the most powerful man in the city: ...I just need to lock the fuck in—

Matthias and Jesper’s relationship, no matter what they actually think of each other considering that their relationship doesn’t always run smoothly, is so quintessential to both of their character arcs but I think it kind of gets overlooked. Jesper’s presence influences Matthias because he is forced to form an opinion on him before he knows that he’s Grisha and whatever that opinion may be it was always formed under the assumption to treat him as an equal. Matthias’ presence influences Jesper because he is forced to reveal the fact that he’s Grisha, something he has been raised to associate with fear, shame, and danger, not only to the people he cares about that didn’t already know (Nina & Wylan) but also in front of someone who genuinely could be a dangerous presence to him because of it, and is met not only by no immediate change in their relationship with each other but later on with active support that they both use to help each get better

why do you think kaz chose that moment to tell inej that pekka rollins killed his brother? in the books specifically

I can't pinpoint the exact moment this was. The bathroom scene, yes? Sometimes the characters have a vulnerable and intimate moment. I don't think it was more calculated than that. Also Kaz thought he was going to die lol

after arcane i'd hoped to see more book to screen adaptations opt for animation esp fantasy but it doesn't seem to be the case 😔😔 soc would be so so good as an animated show ,,, stuff of my dreams

Was Arcane a book first? I thought it was a video game.

Honestly, the US movie industry is pretty much on the brink of bankruptcy, and that's before the economy blowing up and China possibly banning all US movies (then the film industry is pretty much toast for real), so I don't really have high hopes for any SoC adaptation whatsoever. It's too irrelevant, adult oriented animation too risky/rare, etc. But hey, I'd love to be proven wrong. I would explode actually.

Help I'm writing about Matthias's perspective on the Suli for a part in my latest fic chapter and I cannot find any concrete examples of how the Fjerdans treat the Suli outside of knowing that the Suli used to travel up to what is now Fjerda and some Fjerdans have Suli ancestry. Does anyone who read the books more recently than me have refrences? (I'll take page numbers, quotes, general ideas, really anything)

Next comic post will be Saturday, but new art tomorrow!

the idea that it would be overtly obvious to the crows that Kaz stopped going to school around age nine is stupid for a myriad of reasons (and has a strangely classist undertone) but one big one, is literally none of the crows grew up in the same education system. Even if they did live in the same nation (Nina and Inej, Kaz and Wylan) they lived in such wildly different environments, Inej was nomad, she had to home schooled. Jesper and Kaz were both likely homeschooled as well or went to a very small school house. Matthias and Nina were both child soldiers and educated in accordance to that. Wylan has expensive tutors and private educators. None of these people would be able to tell jack shit it comes to another education level because none of them were educated in the same way.

[servantleverslutdrop]

my toxic trait is that I block people who say the crows should’ve been older. If you can’t pick up on one of the core themes of the book being that they’re all children who were forced to grow too fast by a world they didn’t care about them, then I have no interest in whatever your other takes are on the duology.

[servantleverslutdrop]

I am low on strength... Mayhaps another re-read?...

[servantleverslutdrop]

It's that part of the book where I remind you all that Kaz spent his own money to make sure the Slat stayed warm and dry, because that boy would be damned if he was ever cold and wet again.

one my favorite underrated Nina Kaz moments is in Crooked Kingdom when Nina is talking about the triumvirate and Kaz says something like “We all know where Nina’s loyalties lie.” And then Nina goes “I didn’t tell them about Kuwei.” And then I think Kaz smiles (or well his lip quirks up) and says “Like I said.” just ugh they make me insane.
