#matthias vibes

[violentdelightshavevioletends]

"I'm either completely in love with your boyfriend or utterly terrified of him," Ridoc says under his breath. "Not sure at the moment."

"Both," Cat answers from his left. "You can be both. Trust me."

"You shouldn't be either," Trager mutters.

Ridoc glances my way and rolls his eyes.

I bite back my smile. "I'm never scared of him." Xaden's eyes find mine, and my pulse skips. "And he's not my boyfriend."

Rhi snorts and Ridoc offers me a sarcastic thumbs-up.

"Agreed," Xaden says. "That's far too casual a term for what we are."

Rip Matthias Helvar you would have loved cult survivor support groups and petting zoos

modern au wesper saying goodnight

[isthataraccoon]

six of crows except the crow club is an escape room they all run and the emerald palace is the store across the street they’re always competing with—promos at the same time, jesper regularly dressing in a large crow costume outside pekka’s store and shouting at his customers to come see if they can escape the superior rooms

brum’s sportsware is a store down the street that has a cult-like following; matthias is an ex employee that was fired for undisclosed reasons (but he suspects it was because he was found consorting with the enemy)

Sometimes I think I’m not that weird and then I spend a solid amount of time wondering what kind of contraceptives are available in the Grishaverse and specifically how accessible they are in the Barrel, particularly based on the quote “Getting pregnant isn’t actually a special talent. Ask any luckless girl in the Barrel”. Is unwanted pregnancy more common in the Barrel than elsewhere in Ketterdam because of the lack of social services in the city and especially in its poorest areas? is it because teen pregnancies often lead to kids being kicked out so they end up in the Barrel? is there a higher statistic by product of the pleasure houses and especially if there aren’t safe contraceptives readily available in the pleasure houses? and if so what do the people running the pleasure houses do to the girls because of it? is it because unexpected pregnancies in higher social classes would just lead to rushed marriages so it’s more noticeable in the Barrel? or is the comment based solely on Kaz’s individual experience of the city, ie its slums, in which case whilst it’s telling us about the Barrel it’s not making any particular comparison to the rest of the city? I kind of assume there must be some contraceptives available because the possibility of pregnancies in the pleasure houses is never discussed but I doubt they’re readily available and based on what we know about the resources and development in the worldbuilding and timeline may not be the most reliable, in which case what is happening to indentured girls who end up impregnated? Because, somehow, I just don’t think they’re safe. (Where could I have possibly gotten that idea?) So yeah, I am, in fact, that weird. But I really need to know the answer to this.

[shit-people-probably-didnt-say]

Inej: Why do you have a roomba with crystals and incense roaming around?

Jesper: *Startled* How did yo- never mind… Wylan is cleaning, he says its for bad energy as well as lint

Inej: I see

Kaz: *Walks in* Whats that horrible smell? Its burning my eyes

[swiftiepanini]

the crows: coffee or tea?

kaz: coffee. straight black coffee. usually espresso.

inej: doesn't care as long as it's slightly sweet. doesn't need milk

nina: coffeeeeee but exact opposite of kaz. she is a certifed Starbucks Girlie™ and anything without heaps of milk and sugar is sacrilegious

matthias: tea. tea all day. he will drink twenty cups of tea and he definitely has a tea collection and has hid it several times so kaz doesn't steal it and make fun of it. he also has a teacup collection but we're not gonna talk about that

jesper: ew coffee is gross. also tea is gross. no

wylan: matcha boi because it's kind of healthier but give him coffee and he'll snort it up.

bonus:

kuwei: decaf and everyone bullies him for it

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

[violentdelightshavevioletends]

Imogen Cardulo in the ending of Onyx Storm is giving “She had the envelope, where you think she got it from?” vibes… and I may just have enough faith in the character arc to get behind this

[bazkrekkerbrokemyshin]

six of crows modern high school chatfic! jordie lives!!!

i'm starting this because i need more of kaz fulfilling his annoying little brother role :]

check out what i have for the characters so far, below the cut (age, username, pronouns, facts, etc.)

masterlist

Kaz Brekker - Dirtyhands

17, Any Pronouns (bro does not give a shit) (agender) (just like me frfr)

Aromantic (I love projecting) and has zero interest in relationships. Non-SAM, by the way.

Did online school and graduated when he was 16. Works at the Crow Club.

People started calling him Dirtyhands because of the rumors that have gone around about his gloves and stuff. He goes with it because it builds his reputation as a spooky cryptid.

Has haphephobia from the Reaper’s Barge, despite Jordie living. Also not a fan of swimming, but that’s about the full extent of it.

BFFs with Jesper

Jordie Rietveld - Pigeon

21, He/Him (trans masc)

Sole legal guardian of Kaz; surrogate older brother to all.

Works mostly from home, but sometimes goes on business trips.

Kaz calls him Pigeon because he got plucked like one when they were children. At this point there’s no malice to it, just some friendly teasing.

Has thalassophobia from the Reaper’s Barge.

Nina Zenik - Corpsewitch

17 - She/They (queen)

Bisexual, dating Matthias.

Junior

Wants to be a funeral counselor and collects bones, so people started calling her Corpsewitch. She likes to think of it as a compliment.

BFFs with Inej

Matthias Helvar

18, He/Him (cis)

Sexuality? No comment. Dating Nina.

Senior

Doesn’t see the point in making up a fake name to text his friends. His real one will do just fine.

Jesper Fahey - Jes

17, He/Him (cis)

Bisexual, dating Wylan.

Junior

Kaz started calling him Jes when they got closer a few years ago, and it felt special getting a nickname from him. He kept it.

BFFs with Kaz

Inej Ghafa - Spider Queen

16, She/Her (nonbinary)

Lesbian (sorry Kanej shippers)

Junior

Known to be the greatest spider of them all, she sticks to walls and doesn’t make a sound. Some people know her as the Wraith, but Spider Queen has a nice ring to it.

BFFs with Nina

Wylan Van Eck - Sunshine

16, He/Him (cis)

Gay, dating Jesper.

Sophomore

Jesper called him Wylan Van Sunshine sarcastically a while ago because of his blunt attitude and (impressively) chaotic/violent ideas.

Woke up thinking about dilfs today. Here’s the results of the days work:

It’s no secret that Lambert’s political ideas were…ambitious. And that’s not a bad thing - I think he really wanted to better Faerghus and that his policies were truly for the good of his people.

However, it is also no secret that the western lords were…hesitant. And it’s also no secret that Rodrigue knew this and worried about it more than Lambert did.

So how much time do y’all think Rodrigue spent chasing after Lambert trying to rein him in?

And thus, how much time do you think Matthias spent holding down eastern Faerghus while Lambert charged towards a new future and Rodrigue tried to temper him? How much time did he spend helping in territories so Rodrigue could spend time in Fhirdiad trying to tell Lambert to ease into things instead of charging into them head first? (And this is absolutely no hate to Papa Roddy - I love him and he’s such a good guy and believe me when I say he was doing the Goddess’s work trying to keep Lambert from charging off a cliff; he had decisions to make for the good of Faerghus too and this was one of them)

Rodrigue and Matthias play those roles in Houses though; Rodrigue goes in search of Dimitri while Matthias holds down the fort. To me it doesn’t seem far off that the same thing was true earlier in life.

In addition to that, we know there were two plagues in Faerghus - one Matthias sent his wife up north for and one that killed Dimitri’s mother. We know they had the large Sreng campaign where Rodrigue saved Lambert, that Matthias had Leif for a while, that Duscur occurred, and that Faerghus was utterly destroyed afterwards….

We know Matthias is a margrave before anything else, for better or worse depending on perspective (mostly worse than better). But how many times do you think duty took Matthias away from the boys? How many times did he look up and yet another day was long gone? How many times did he sacrifice today in hopes for a better tomorrow?

I’ve never said Matthias is winning any awards for his parenting, but I often wonder how things like this played a part in it.
