It's so interesting to me that the book and show reversed the first and last information we learn about Wylan.

In Six of Crows his name/identity and why it matters is literally his character introduction. The fact that he cannot read is saved for the end of the book. It grows the mystery and finally answers why Wylan is in the Barrel working for a gang instead of living the cozy merch life in a mansion. Wylan is always viewed through the lens of being Van Eck's runaway son first, his own person second. However, revealing Wylan can't read last also allows it to be an afterthought. It didn't matter during the book -- none of the Crows knew or cared and Wylan accomplished everything he needed in the plot without mentioning it. And thematically, that's sort of the point. It doesn't actually matter that Wylan can't read.

Shadow and Bone chose to reveal that Wylan cannot read before we learn who he is and why it matters. The show was saving his name/identity for a more dramatic reveal. Not sure what the show had planned, but this choice probably eliminated the mystery of why Wylan was with the Crows. In the same vein as the book, the show built up Wylan's intelligence and capability first. We aren't told who he is, we get to see it ourselves. He's smart, caring, and kind. A person who throws himself into danger and saves his friends despite being afraid and out of his depth in this new criminal world. It doesn't matter what his family name is because we know Wylan through his actions, not his family's reputation. Revealing Wylan can't read earlier in the narrative puts emphasis on his intelligence and all of the things he can do, which makes those accomplishments more impressive. And his name/identity would be more of an afterthought because it wouldn't matter nearly as much as who Wylan currently is in the story.

If you asked Kaz Brekker what home smelled like, perhaps once upon a time he would've given a vague description of the place he and Jordie grew up, a memory so distant even Kaz himself had stopped being able to conceptualize it years ago.

Now, he could answer you with confidence. If you asked Kaz Brekker what home smelled like, his lips would subtly twitch- easily mistakenly as a sense of smugness- and he would tell you, olive oil and smoke. He smells Suli tea and spices, he thinks of her.

When Kaz Brekker thinks of home, he thinks of how perfect she looks when she comes down the stairs of the slat, picking apart her breakfast and licking her fingers clean with the satisfaction that her stomach was full and a man somewhere was dead.

He found he liked that look on her; dangerous, satisfied- content and free.

Her slender fingers gripped her knives with the elegance of matches next to altar candles on the cathedral that was her frame, her scarf akin to draping curtains that fell around her eyes- her irises catching the light like stained glass windows.

His Wraith was silent, and Kaz Brekker, the man who hated to ever be taken off guard, loved her for every time she appeared in his life without warning.

Kaz Brekker could tell you in an instant what he thinks of when he thinks of home, and only need two words: Inej Ghafa.

Three years since the Shadow and Bone TV show!

Three years since the book characters who changed my life came alive on screen.

Three years since we got our beloved Crows.

Kaz: You just said 'I love you.'

Y/N: *Panicking* I say I love you all the time!

Y/N: *To Jesper as he walks past* I love you, Jes.

Jesper: Aww, I love you too, Y/N.

Y/N: See? Means nothing.

Jesper: Hey!

It genuinely frustrates me when people ship character’s with their abuser.

Particularly when the character’s entire storyline is about escaping an abusive relationship.

Particularly when the abusive relationship was founded on grooming.

Particular when the ship only exists because the reader thinks the abuser is hot, and is using the protagonist as a self-insert.

I don’t attack people over what they ship, I never have and I never will, you can ship those kind of fictional ships if you want, no, seriously, go ahead, I won’t stop or judge you, but I am asking you to be aware. Be aware that they’re unhealthy. Be aware that the ship you like was never going to be “endgame” by the author. Be aware that you have no right to bully or belittle anyone who doesn’t ship what you ship, particularly if it’s abusive. Just be aware. That’s all.

Third Army, assemble: Stream Season 2 of Shadow and Bone!

We have seen signs that our efforts are being noticed and need to keep the momentum going to #SaveShadowAndBone and get the #SixOfCrowsSpinoff. Let’s give them even more to notice!

During the week of Apr. 22 - 28, please stream Season 2 of Shadow and Bone. And then stream it again. The metrics are as important as ever, maybe more so as conversations continue happening with Netflix and elsewhere. Remember to watch the whole episode (yes, we know you love that ship, but watch the others, too!) and don’t watch it on mute.

We know streamers are focused on numbers. So, numbers they’ll get. If anyone can save a show, it’s this fandom with our relentless campaign efforts. The Third Army won’t rest until we get our stories and casts back. No mourners, no funerals!

Show Wesper would absolutely make out during the Ice Court Heist like the desperate mad lads they are because they aren't sure they're going to make it out alive.

Prove me wrong, Netflix. I dare you.
