#matthias helvar quotes

[thecrxwclub]

the crows described using five of their quotes

Kaz

“And then there are the ones who stay awake, running through the trick again and again, looking for that skip in perception, the crack in the illusion that will explain how their eyes got duped; they’re the kind who won’t rest until they’ve mastered that little bit of mystery for themselves. I’m that kind . . . I love puzzles. Trickery is just my native tongue.”

“He knew exactly what he intended to leave behind when he was gone. Damage.”

“There was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken.”

“Well, Brekker, it’s obvious you only deal in half-truths and outright lies, so you’re clearly the man for the job.”

“Would you?" asked Wylan, his chin jutting forward. "Trust someone with that knowledge, with a secret that could destroy you?" Yes, thought Kaz without hesitation. There's one person I would trust. One person I know who would never use my weaknesses against me.”

Inej

“You still may die in the Dregs." Inej’s dark eyes had glinted. "I may. But I'll die on my feet with a knife in my hand.”

“She was not a lynx or a spider or even the Wraith. She was Inej Ghafa, and her future was waiting above.”

“For some reason, those words had comforted her. Better terrible truths than kind lies.”

“I'm already a ghost, she thought. I died in the hold of a slaver ship.”

“"I'm not ready to give up on this city, Kaz. I think it's worth saving." I think you're worth saving.” . . . She would fight for him, but she could not heal him. She would not waste her life trying.”

Jesper

“Facts are for the unimaginative,” Jesper said with a dismissive wave.

“There was a long silence, and then, eyes trained on the notch they’d created in the link, Wylan said, “Just girls?” Jesper restrained a grin. “No. Not just girls.”

“That sound - the swift, shocking report of gunfire - called the scattered, irascible, permanently seeking part of his mind into focus like nothing else.”

“Take good care of my babies,” Jesper said as he handed them over to Dirix. “If I see a single scratch or nick on those, I’ll spell forgive me on your chest in bullet holes.”

“If any of you survive, make sure I have an open casket,” Jesper said as he hefted two slender coils of rope over his shoulder and signalled for Wylan to follow him across the roof. “The world deserves a few more moments with this face.”

Wylan

“You’re not weak because you can’t read. You’re weak because you’re afraid of people seeing your weakness. You’re letting shame decide who you are.”

You’re our chemist, Wylan,” said Nina hopefully. “What do you think?” Wylan shrugged. “Maybe. Not all poisons have an antidote.” Jesper snorted. “That’s why we call him Wylan Van Sunshine.”

“You know, Wylan, one of these days I'm going to stop underestimating you.” “There was a brief pause and then, somewhere ahead, he heard Wylan say, "Then you're going to be a lot harder to surprise.”

“Until this moment, Wylan hadn't quite understood how much they meant to him. His father would have sneered at these thugs and thieves, a disgraced soldier, a gambler who couldn't keep out of the red. But they were his first friends, his only friends, and Wylan knew that even if he'd had his pick of a thousand companions, these would have been the people he chose.”

“What do you like?" "Music. Numbers. Equations. They're not like words. They ... they don't get mixed up." "If only you could talk to girls in equations." There was a long silence, and then, eyes trained on the notch they'd created in the link, Wylan said, "Just girls?”

Nina

“Nina stopped laughing. “I am going to turn your teeth inside out.” “That is physically impossible.” “I just raised the dead. Do you really want to argue with me?”

“You aren’t a flower, you’re every blossom in the wood blooming at once. You are a tidal wave. You’re a stampede. You are overwhelming.”

“They were twin souls, soldiers destined to fight for different sides, to find each other and lose each other too quickly. She would not keep him here. Not like this.”

“Nina just liked to flirt with everything. He’d once seen her make eyes at a pair of shoes she fancied in a shop window.”

“What do you want, Kaz?” “You have crumbs on your cleavage.” “Don’t care,” she said, taking another bite of cake. “So hungry.” Kaz shook his head, amused and impressed at how quickly Nina dropped the wise Grisha priestess act. She’d missed her true calling on the stage.”

Matthias

“Nina, I am with you because you let me be with you. There is no greater honor than to stand by your side.”

“Do not be afraid. Fear is how they control you. There's so much in the world you don't have to be afraid of, if you would only open your eyes.”

“I’m trying to compel you to kiss me.” “That’s foolish.” “Why is that?” “Because I always want to kiss you,” he admitted.”

“They fear you as I once feared you,” he said. “As you once feared me. We are all someone’s monster, Nina.”

He doesn’t approve of anything about you. But when you laugh, he perks up like a tulip in fresh water.” Nina snorted. “Matthias the tulip.” “The big, brooding, yellow tulip.”

Matthias: *has one Unholy™️ thought about nina*

Matthias to himself: TAKE A WALK YOU ABSOLUTE WHORE. AND WHILE YOUR AT IT YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUMP IN A RIVER YOU SLUT.

Nina: You know, Jesper gives Wylan flowers all the time, I wish you’d do that too.

Mathias: Okay.

Someone who didn’t realise I was in earshot: I hate Matthias and I think his redemption arc was stupid because he was evil and he should never have been with Nina because he was prejudiced towards her

Me, pulling a portable projector from my bag and ushering everyone in the vicinity into chairs that just materialised from nowhere as I start handing round a syllabus and producing a binder full of notes: Well, actually -

Matthias, with a light under his chin: many years ago a demon cursed this place

[two years earlier]

Kaz: fuck this house

[bubblegumbabycow]

Matthias: When I first met you, I thought you were a demon. Kaz: And? Matthias: And you are.

[moondust-on-the-hijabi]

Matthias: When I first met you, I did not like you. Kaz: I'm aware of that. Matthias: But then you and I had some time together. Kaz: Uh-huh? Matthias: It did not get better.

[shit-people-probably-didnt-say]

I’ll be forever mad that we didnt get a Helnik reunion after they free him from Hellgate cause the rest of the crows would have been so confused 😭

Matthias: *Tries to kill Nina the second he sees her*

Wylan: I thought they liked each other?

Jesper: Ooh an enemies to lovers story

Inej: Should we intervene?

All of them: NO

Kaz: *Hits Matthias with his cane* I dont have time to find another heartrender for this job, control your wolf or we’re leaving him here

[catdoingblep]

Nina, realizing that Jesper is in love with Wylan: oh, thank Saints, I am really happy that you are recovering from your disease

Jesper, terrified: disease? What disease?

Nina: yes, a common bisexual disease widely known as "terrible taste in men" I thought it reached a terminal stage when I learned that you had a crush on Kaz

Jesper: I really don't think it is a real disease...

Nina: I will tell Matthias that his prayers are finally working! He was praying for your health every day!

[sky-neverending]

Wylan, in the shower: YOU CALLED ME UP AGAIN JUST TO BREAK ME LIKE A PROMISE! SO CASUALLY CRUEL IN THE NAME OF BEING HONEST-

Nina: who hurt Wylan? Jesper, i swear to god if you broke his heart—

Jesper: don’t worry about it. he wanted me to break up with him for ten minutes so he could sing the song

Nina: Fair enough. continue on then.

Matthias: I don’t understand you people

Matthias: NO!

Nina: huh?

Matthias: sorry, it´s the habit

[tenaciousgeckos]

Kaz: My ducks? In a row. Ordered. Disciplined. Behaving predictably. Your ducks? Scattered. In disarray. Waddling aimlessly. Desperate for a leader to impose structure.

[thecrxwclub]

Jesper: Who else is hiding in the laundry room trying to listen to Kaz and Inej’s conversation?

Matthias: I’m in the laundry basket.

Nina: I’m in the washing machine.

Wylan: I’m in the closet.

Nina: We accept you Wylan <3

Wylan: No, I’m literally in the closet.

Jesper: Love is love <3
