you think Kaz Brekker's most iconic kill is the guy he threw overboard because he nearly killed Inej

I think Kaz Brekker's most iconic kill is the law clerk he dropped off a lighthouse because he was blackmailing a sex worker

we are not the same

Breaking my slience (again ... I've ranted about this at least twice already but I keep thinking of fun new ways to word it whoopsie)

When Inej says she'll have Kaz without armour, she's not saying she wants a physical relationship from him

She is asking him to trust her enough to know that he doesn't need to protect himself around her, that she'll never cross his boundaries, that if he took off his armour he would be safe with her.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

My sister has been borrowing a lot of my books recently so I (incredibly unsubtly) left Six of Crows in her room. Now we wait...

I'm tryna see something 😎

[bitchthefuck1]

I feel like people sometimes have a tendency to paint Inej as a little too wide-eyed and borderline naive and I feel like that's such a misread and disservice to her character, because her faith and hope for a better future isn't some misguided assumption that everything will be okay or that the world isn't so bad. She knows exactly how bad things can be and exactly what kind of evil people are capable of, and she's saying "fuck you, you can take my autonomy and my childhood and maybe I'll never see my family or home again, but I will literally die before I let make me think that the shit I've been through is all there is. The beauty and love I experienced was real and valuable and nothing you do or say will make me let go of that or believe it's not possible for me to have again," and it is genuinely the most incredible and real thing in those books.

Inej has fought tooth and nail for every ounce of goodness she has and she'll keep wringing it out of the world because those things are real and possible no matter what, and there's nothing naive about it.

Never forget that Inej canonically rejected Kaz when he confessed his feelings for her after the ice court heist (as she should have) and he took it like a champ (as he should have). He literally quipped with her on the island in front of Van Eck before shit hit the fan and said something like “I’m not big on bluffing am I, Inej?”

Everything went back to normal between the two of them and I have no choice but to stan.

fics where Inej tells Kaz it's ok if he can't always touch her or can't always bring his full armor down as long as he's trying >>>>>>>

[sprnklersplashes]

Inej rubbing her eyes and stumbling sleepily into the kitchen in the Slat wearing Kaz's shirt only to look up and realise half the Dregs are already up and have stopped mid-activity to stare at her in open-mouthed shock.

Kaz wandering in after her with his eyes half-closed, muttering "good morning" into her hair and then she digs her elbow into his stomach and he looks up and also realises they're being watched.

me after calling each and every one of my favorite ships "the ship ever" because. because

[fantastic-nonsense]

stop saying "Kaz would be jealous and possessive over Inej if he thought she and Tolya liked each other" no he wouldn't! Kaz isn't like that! He defends Inej's freedom, autonomy, and desires at every single turn in the books. He spends the entire duology pining over her and yet gives her every single chance he possibly can to walk out of his life forever if she wants. It's the foundational cornerstone of their entire relationship! It's why they work in the first place!

literally the only Crow who does petty jealousy is Wylan and that's that on that, folks

[kanejbr3kker]

More Zoyalai/Kanej parallels because how do we not talk about the fact that right before Nikolai performed the ritual that was supposed to kill his demon, he gave Zoya a contract making her the general of both Ravkan armies, which is the exact same as Kaz giving Inej her contract before leaving to try to recruit the Dregs???

[kazscrows]

Kaz: I’ll watch as you’re leaving. You got tired of my scheming-

Inej: Stop quoting Taylor Swift at me. We just need groceries…

Inej: I’m going to the store.

[she-posts-nerdy-stuff]

Kaz, about the Ice Court Heist: So, that’s the plan. We all live to fight another day

Inej: Or, it’s a suicide mission

Jesper: Yeah it sounds like we’re gonna die

Matthias: This is suicide

Kaz: Ah, it’s only suicide if we die!

[lilithh6]

OKAY BUT PICTURE THIS!!!!

soc spin-off, right? We get through the whole ice court heist, we’re on our way back to ketterdam. In the book, now is when we get the “I will have you without armour, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.” But we’ve already gotten that scene in the show. Inej is already off on her own journey, and she’s had to come back for the heist. But the point is she (and most likely Kaz as well) have gotten through more character development compared to the books.

Which means that THAT scene will have to be replaced with something BIGGER, a step further into their relationship. I can’t even begin to think what it could be like (no gloves??), but I know it will definitely have me screaming.

But do you know what that means as well? The scene of Van Eck noticing Inej as Kaz’s tell and kidnapping her (which happens right after this) will have ANOTHER whole new level of ANGST, and I’m not sure I can handle it.

I’m going to get my money, Kaz vowed. And I’m going to get my girl.

I’m screaming, I can’t wait.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT KAZ AND INEJ IN S2 THIS IS HOW AMITA RESPONDED

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???????

(x)

[mistylakeee]

Just remembered that Kaz and Inej canonically have signals they give one another. I want to know them all. Are their signals more hand gestures or more facial maneuvers? Do they tug on their ear twice? Smooth their eyebrow? How did they come up with them? Cuz everything I’m thinking of is hilarious.
