Things about the 2x03 Kanej graveyard scene that make me feral

Inej being able to tell Kaz is in the doorway without looking

Inej’s valid anger at Kaz not being honest and calling him out (get his ass Honey!)

The dead look on Inej’s face when she takes her shirt off, because she has to undress (even partly) in front of someone and it brings back horrible memories

KAZ TURNING AND LOOKING AWAY TO GIVE HER PRIVACY

Kaz cracking and telling her about Jordie because he can’t bare to lose the trust and relationship the two have built

Inej’s IMMEDIATE response of “then we destroy him”

Kaz’s shaking hand as he takes the cloth from Inej

Inej making sure their hands don’t touch as she passes it to him

Kaz putting down his cane, his physical and mental crutch, the WEAPON he relies on, leaving him open and vulnerable in her presence

Also the way he tosses up and catches it and puts it on the table ajdbsjfbdk

The fact Kaz is SO DETERMINED to help that he can’t look at Inej’s face

Inej turning her back on Kaz, leaving HERSELF open and vulnerable because SHE TRUSTS HIM

Inej’s little gasp when he touches her with the cloth (could be from the sting of the antiseptic OR shock from him actually following through)

FOR A HALF SECOND YOU CAN CATCH INEJ LOOKING PLEASED/HAVING JOY THAT HE’S ABLE TO TOUCH HER (Amita’s attention to detail with Inej is phenomenal)

Kaz shaking (I chose to believe in anger at his past and Inej’s) when he says “was there no one to protect you?”

The “was there no one to protect you” lines RIGHT BEFORE KAZ TELLS HER TO LOOK FOR MOGEN’S TELLS, AS A WAY OF KAZ HELPING HER TO PROTECT HERSELF IN THE FIGHT

Inej turning to fully face him for the next part of their conversation thus creating an intimate little bubble around them

Inej’s step forward and quiet “what’s yours?”

The eye contact and height difference ahdbdjfbs

His honesty “the limp, the cane. No one’s smart enough to look for the real one” WHICH IS INEJ !!

The strands of hair falling in Kaz’s face, his perfectly tailored shield of his hard lines and tailored edges cracking because he’s opening up and being vulnerable with Inej

Inej VERY OBVIOUSLY looking at Kaz’s lips

Inej shifting forward a bit more towards him right before they’re interrupted

Honourable mention: Nina’s little “uh huh” in a tone that says “yeah I don’t believe you” when Inej tells her it’s not what Nina thinks it is

Conclusion: Freddy and Amita are phenomenal in these roles and they drive me actually insane (and I thank them for it)

Please feel free to add!

The darkling facial expressions when baghra says that there was a moment where he might have earned alina’s love are just absolutely killing me

[kajaono]

When Nikolai opened the door, half naked, revealing what he was hiding the whole time under his dumb pirate coat... we were all Alina in that moment

1.08 / 2.03 / 2.08

[aconfusedgoose]

I can be totally normal about them... Right?

[whumpypepsigal]

Slowly, his limp pronounced but his back straight, Kaz made his way down the final flight of stairs, leaning heavily on the banister. When he reached the bottom, the remaining crowd parted.

Haskell’s grizzled face was red with fear and indignation. “You’ll never last, boy. Takes more than what you got to get past Pekka Rollins.”

Kaz snatched his cane from Per Haskell’s hand.

“You have two minutes to get out of my house, old man. This city’s price is blood,” said Kaz, “and I’m happy to pay with yours.

they are just so sexy to me .

“The limp. The cane. No one’s ever smart enough to look for the real one.”

The way Freddy changes Kaz’s voice here is just… chef’s kiss. We never hear Kaz speak this softly and it breaks me a little each time. That, and his messed up, boyish hair and the little movements of his head while he’s talking- it’s a confession, an honest one about his affections (veiled though it is), and it’s Kaz at his most vulnerable until the armour scene in 2x08. He’s acting everything like the young, inexperienced man he is (in a romantic sense that is) and I love it.

And then he immediately goes and beats the shit out of the Dregs because woe betide Kaz Brekker actually allow himself to have feelings…

[renegadesstuff]

How to say I love you without saying it 🥺❤️

[winnie-the-monster]

“In my defense it was dark. And when I woke up, you were gone.”

[inlovewithquotes]

"This isn't your fight, you know. Clearing our names, this feud Kaz has with Pekka."

"Jesper Fahey, are you worried about me?"

"I saw your face when the Crow Club blew up. You didn't know what you're getting into."

"Yeah, well....well, I know now. And I'm not going anywhere."

[kajaono]

I never got Kanej, I never got it okay? UNTIL the scene where Kaz helps to fix Inejs wounds.

I get it now. I am SO getting it now

Shadow & Bone 2x03 - “Like Calls to Like”: Alina & Aleksander

“- You’ve come back, Little Saint. I know you, my Alina. Like no one else ever will. You’re dreaming... that this country can still be mended. But once you realize that there can be no future between Grisha and otkazat’sya, I will be waiting for you... with open arms. Sweet dreams.” (Aleksander)
