#Crows stories

Chapter Two: New Home. You are taken to your new home, it's kinda nice. Hopefully now you can relax.

These little fuckers are round gobies. They are a freshwater goby that's invasive in Michigan, and they're in the nearby lake. They're distinct from the four native species due to their fused pelvic fins (middle pic) and a big black dot at the rear of their front dorsal fin. Though some other gobies have spots on their fins, NO Michigan-native species has a fused pelvic fin. These guys are very aggressive feeders and are very good at outcompeting native gobies.

They're also extremely good at stealing bait off big hooks as people on the docks reel in their lines. In particular, the bastard in the bottom photo stole my bait two days ago, so I caught him and filleted him for Bug.

Today, after acquiring smaller hooks, I went back and got 16 more, and educated several other fishers about their invasive nature. I got two turned over to me by others, and caught 14 more myself.

One man wandered over and asked why I was catching them on purpose. It was too much trouble to explain my feelings about invasive species, so I just told him, one of them stole my bait two days ago. He stopped watching my bobber and boggled at me and goes:

"You're doing this for revenge?"

So now there's some guy in town that thinks I am exacting revenge upon fish kind for a single stolen worm.

I probably need a beta reader and someone I can regularly screech ideas at - for I lack the braincells to keep on track of things and edit properly.

But also paranoia

you know what i think kids/teen books do 'fantasy romance/fantasy books' way better than any of the adult fantasy books booktok raves about. i try and read some of them and 90 percent of the time its just smut and abusive relationships disguised as 'dark romance'. then i read books like Keeper Of The Lost Cities, The School for Good and Evil, Percy Jackson, Land of Stories, the Nevermoor series, that kind of thing, and they are all actually so amazing because they have fleshed out characters with flaws and an engaging plotline instead of just badly written romance. and when they do have romance it's well written and about the people rather than the tropes.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading BioWare's free Dragon Age short stories released ahead of The Veilguard between 2020-2022. Each story focuses on a faction that will be featured in the game (e.g., Antivan Crows, Grey Wardens, Mortalitasi, Shadow Dragons, Veil Jumpers - unfortunately, there isn't a short story about the Lords of Fortune) and the characters in these stories may even turn up as faction agents in The Veilguard 👀

"The she-wolf laid into the squires with a tourney sword, scattering them all. The crannogman was bruised and bloodied, so she took him back to her lair to clean his cuts and bind them up with linen."

forever obsessed with her

You were used and well abused at the Carnival. Afraid and alone, a fate worse than death awaited you. But whats this...a gentle and kind monster saves you? This has got to be too good to be true right?

Don't feed the crows. .. Why not? Inej, Kaz / Six of Crows (c) Leigh Bardugo

[jccatstudios]

Kaz hair headcanons (left to right)

Age 9 (arrival to Ketterdam) - hair cut by da, grown out since his death

Age 12 (pre-Dregs) - hasn't been cut since 9 (except trimming his bangs every once in a while to keep it out of his eyes), mainly focused on survival

Age 13 (Dregs grunt) - greater access to hair care tools, starts cutting his own hair after understanding his touch aversion, less about style and more about learning to cut hair (bangs too short due to novice skills)

Age 14 (post-bank heist) - better at cutting hair, gets his classic undercut, more about style to imitate the merchant class and look overqualified to be a Dregs lieutenant

Age 17 (present) - even better at cutting hair but still clumsy with a razor and getting the back pieces even, a bit messier due to his confidence in his position in the Dregs

“kaz and inej didn’t end up together”

does ‘the boy beside her. the future before her. anything was possible.” mean NOTHING to you

xīn yá ref update ^_^

Wylan: I believed for many years that our voice box only had so much voice in it, so if you talked too much as a kid you would run out and be unable to speak as an adult

Wylan: Eventually I realised that was just my Fathers way of getting me to shut up

Jesper: *Loading his gun* …Mmhm
