#joost van poel

[jeansyvesmoreau]

joost can't find a romantic way to describe anya's brown eyes and meanwhile kanej waxes poetic about each other's brown eyes. joost thinks he could compliment anya's laugh except he doesn't know how to and meanwhile kaz wants to bottle inej's laugh. joost didn't have enough money to buy out anya's indenture but kaz bought out inej's indenture. people say that anya uses grisha magic when it's not really magic per se but for a moment kaz was a boy again who believed that there was magic in the world.

KAZ MENTIONING THE VAN POEL NAME IN EPISODE TWO EXCUSE ME—

[jazzkrebber]

the first thing I ever tell anyone when they're about to read soc is how to pronounce Joost

[mournersandfunerals]

Wait I just realised that Kaz approaches the crows at the end of the season with news of the Ice Court job.

Which means we can assume that poor Joost died at some point during season two.

Rip, my good man. May the moon and your mustache no longer be a problem.

So I've been thinking about Hoede and why testing jurda parem on Anya (the indentured healer girl from chapter 1 of SoC) backfired on him so badly.

For starters we're told that the reason he tested the parem on her was because he figured that the safer corporalki to test it on is a healer rather than a heartrender given that healers are known to be more tame, they help people rather than harm them. I find this to be one his biggest mistakes, in one of Nina's chapters she states that all corporalki start off training together, learning the same stuff before they decide to choose which path they want to follow-- if they would prefer to harm others or heal others. Although not explicitly stated it can be inferred that the main reason healers and heartrenders are considered different is more or less their training. While healers learn to understand the body more intricately and use more patience in their craft, heatrenders learn to fight, they learn to use their powers in a more bloodthirsty way, they understand the human body enough to break it but not fix it. However, we know that parem alters a grisha's perception rather than power and as we see with Nina after she takes a dose of the parem she can heal just as well, simultaneously healing herself while fighting the drüskelle and fjerdan military. So why shouldn't it work the same for Anya? Hoede's biggest mistake was his lack of understanding of Grisha power.

This is probably well-known information but I just wanted to post about it anyway.

Always remember that a literal cat outlived Joost in the books.

You know what would've been an infinitely better (and 20x funnier) way to build up to the crows rather than incorporating them into the sab plotline? Instead of including them in the sab series as some sort of 'prequel' content, you set up the actual crows spinoff by inserting Joost Van Poel instead. Like-- you just have it focused primarily on the sab plotline (as it should have been) but in between sab scenes we just follow some random guy trying to make his way into the stadwatch in Ketterdam.

Can you imagine watching Joost journey throughout the entirety of the sab series just for it all to lead up to his untimely demise which just so happens to also be the perfect segue into the soc timeline for the crow spinoff???

To SOC fans, it's the backstory we never got. To show fans, it's the most random subplot in the world but I'm convinced Joost is endearing enough to have kept them invested.
