SHADOW AND BONE SPOILERS!

okay first, Kaz would have not fucking given up his cane, and for a king?!?!? love it but he would not do that, it was adorable tho. Second, he just wanted to be loved:( i think i read it in the book cause they never said it in the show but all he wanted was the love of his people, and for them to be safe, and look what it cost him:( Third, why would they change all that, like yes i get this is basically a prequel for six of crows BUT i enjoyed jesper and wylan being slow burn and now theyre a thing?? like what happpens now instead of all the teasing and pining in both upcoming heists, and also with kanej, cause like yeah the love confession was word for word which was nice BUT theyre still TWO heists to come, what about the pining!?!?!! and speaking of inej, she's now free and also a slaver-hunting pirate, which is all she wanted but what about the heists!!!!! like i guess she'll come back out of the love in her heart but why have her achieve her dream just to give it all up?? And don't even get me started on Mal and Alina, like i get their story hasnt really ended, especially with the nikolai thing (poor baby), but wtf.

Despite all of that, I really enjoyed it, it was really well made, I just wish I didn't compare everything with the books, anyway, sending love, thanks for letting me rant none of my friends like s&b.

I do v much agree that it's v diff from the books, but I don't hate that! lemme dive in under the cut tho <3

I wish they had more time bc they were trying to do So Much though and I feel like nikolai's arc as a monster was just weirdly done. alas, lemme dive in!!

I actually disagree on the cane, and here's why. kaz had no reason to tell inej about jordie. he even says in his chapter he had no idea why he did it. was it because he loved her? or was it that he truly felt like she deserved to know? why would she deserve to know??? he also expands on this with jesper, someone who unwittingly betrayed him! he sees jesper as jordie and then when jesper asks who jordie is after kaz slipped and called him jordie, he doesn't tell jesper off, he doesn't shut down. he tells jesper that jordie was someone who meant a lot to him in a way that makes it pretty clear for me that he truly cares for jesper too. he didn't have to do that, but he did it for inej and for jesper, the crows who have been by his side longest. also in soc he allows the crows to drag him to a different cafe in djerholm after they stake out the prison transports. kaz's way is the highway at this point in soc, the crows haven't learned that they can team up on him the way nina and inej do for the ketterdam grisha in crooked kingdom, they didn't have to relocate, but they did. if kaz wanted to shut down their complaining he would have. instead he gave into their apparent need for sweet buns and hot cocoa. also, when we get flashbacks from the ferolind via wylan in crooked kingdom, kaz was the one who was warning wylan about tailoring his face using nina's powers on parem and it was kaz that believed that wylan's father still loved him. he even bet on it and lost (which is hilarious btw, I mean not for wylan but u get me). also, in crooked kingdom after kaz robs cornelius smeet and then crashes into him to return the dog whistle and returns his wallet, smeet gives kaz 5 kruge. he then turns and gives that to wylan. sure, they have pekka's money, but why would kaz brekker give wylan something for nothing? he also steals back jesper's pistols from club cumulus's safe. he claimed that a shooter's nothing without his guns, but jesper helped get his dad and wylan back to black veil just fine without his beloved revolvers. kaz also swore to inej that even if her legs were broken, he'd come back for her. yeah, he's in love with her, but would he do that if there wasn't still a kernel of kaz rietveld inside him?? would he give wylan 5 kruge or warn him that he might always have kuwei's face?? would he have worked so hard from the initial heist at smeet's to get wylan back his money by replacing jan's will??? no. dirtyhands wouldn't. kaz rietveld would. there's still pieces of him there, and that's exactly why he'd give his cane to nikolai. firstly, he still needs to be paid, a slow king is an easily killed king, and as kaz himself said he is more experienced with pain. it's the most logical move to make. kaz is also someone who still has kindness in him despite what he says, even in the show when he promises that he'll help nina w freeing matthias. there's a heart buried in him, and I for one love to get peeks at it. also I think they made his need to be loved by his crows in the show decently clear, like when he asks wylan when he last ate or when he gives up the deed for the crow club for inej (let's face it, dirtyhands could have found a way to get leverage on helene to make that work without risking everything for inej but he did it bc he cares about her) and with how he was keeping jesper's zowa powers a secret. even though jesper's zowa powers could have been pretty useful before, kaz said nothing. he also wanted all of the crows in the building when he took pekka down. inej was the only crow not in attendance (and matthias but he's in jail, so he kinda has bigger shit but kaz still paid the guards to keep him out of the fights).

w the wesper: gimme gimme gimme!!! I'd rather get it fast than not at all esp w how weird netflix has been the past year with what gets renewals and spinoffs and what gets cancelled. and I think they did it in a way that was very true to the characters!! it's so cute!!!! the stroopes!! you remember that nOW??!!??!?!?!? and can we talk about tolya being the #1 wesper shipper!!! also there's a gifset idk if I can find it tonight but it's kaz saying 'everyone's losing their minds' after wylan and jesper kiss outside ohval's and the caption on the gifset is 'my brother in ghezen you set them up' and I think about that a lot.

with inej I think that it's great that she's slave hunting early bc I think that it gives a really great opportunity for a bit of kanej closure that the books never had. at the end of crooked kingdom, inej prepares to leave and just says she isn't done w ketterdam (and by extension kaz) yet but that's p much it, even in king of scars / rule of wolves we don't get concrete kanej. I think with inej's story, it gives her that option to find her family and get that closure, and hell that could've been the payment kaz asked for when they returned to ravka, we don't know, but once she finds the slavers it'll bring her closure and I think that'll help give us a possibility of a definitive kanej endgame for the show.

also w the not malina end, I'm sorry but I'm all for it. I think it makes sense esp bc she used merzost to rip him away from death. we saw him in the field, he was content, he was at peace, and she legit Yanked him back. I think a part of him knows that. also, he did die. that no doubt changed him, so he's v right to explore who he is if not a mythical tracker and I loved nikolai dread-pirate-roberts-ing him by making him the new sturmhond even tho he isn't in charge. also I really really wish they'd done nikolai's monster story better. I wanted to see him w the wings and the talons and all they did was make him look like a nichevo'ya. boo!! but I think they were just trying to set up too much and cut a ton (harshaw and oncat 😭) and redo stuff to make it work, it felt like at times alina got sidelined for everything else they had to do.

also of course!!! ur welcome in my inbox bestie!!!

[mittai]

This was surprisingly hard to come up w/ stuff for! So I’m sending a few: which of ur urls do you like best? And if u had to pick one: the Brontës or Austen? Libraries or restaurants? Andddd if you had to sacrifice a main cast member of Shadow & Bone, who would it be?

ok so for urls hmmmm i think i’m gonna have to go w/ @phendorana just because it’s a) a canon url!!!! and b) phendorana my beloved </3. i DO like @acrostic, don’t get me wrong, and i love that both of my urls are like short + one word + recognizable. but i think i’m just more excited about phendorana! also wrt/ to past urls, i used to have diff urls on both blogs: @that-dino-girl on main and @i-am-a-stick on side (simply bc i couldn’t think of anything better). i do have some fondness left for @that-dino-girl simply bc it was an inside joke w/ irl friends, but @i-am-a-stick....well i’m not crying tears over it lmao.

ok, brontës vs. austen. oooh i’m gonna have to go with austen. i haven’t read all of the brontës’ work, but i like austen’s humor and style more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. i just feel her style has a bit more bite or personality, which makes it more fun to read.

libraries or restaurants. ohhh this is an evil question 😖💔. like hnnng libraries my beloved. but also restaurants my beloved. food and books my two great loves in life....in reality i’d probably choose libraries simply because my family very rarely eats out, but i rely on libraries and their ebook systems quite a bit, and there’s no real viable replacement for getting books so often (i cannot afford to buy every book i read LOL). like w/ restaurants you can eat at home, but with libraries it’s like w/o them you can a) pirate b) not read i guess.

ok LOL sacrificing a main cast member....uhhh could you tell me in the replies who counts as a main cast member lol? like is it just jesper, inej, kaz, mal, alina, and the darkling, or do zoya + bhagra + nina + matthias count? also u said “cast”... is it the actual actors or the characters? i’ll edit the post to add answers once you tell me :)

EDIT: for the crows cast thingy, i think if we included matthias / nina / bhagra / zoya, etc, i’d sacrifice matthias, simply on acct of get fucked slaver like the whole nina x matthias thing is FUCKED up. like i understand that grisha having powers means that the whole persecution / oppression dynamic is very different than IRL bigotry, but still having a love story between a grisha and some guy who hunted them for a living like ://// like EVEN if caution around the grisha was understandable, being grisha was an essential part of who she was, and like i am not sold on the idea that you can have a healthy relationship with a guy who used to hunt people like you 😐. you could have had nina help matthias overcome his bigotry w/o having her fall in love with him. if we were just including the main cast (jesper, inej, kaz, mal, alina, the darkling) hmmm i would either sacrifice the darkling or maybe alina. like i think their characters/plots were the least compelling. the actors did a good job, but alina succumbed to main character syndrome (read: she needed to be so relatable / likable that she was completely bland and uninteresting with no notable personality traits) and the darkling was just generally kind of boring. like i got kind of annoyed w/ his backstory where he was in love w/ a nameless grisha girl who was a fugitive with him, she got murdered by the soldiers hunting them, he went crazy & made the fold, etc. like thanks for the fridging netflix 😐 that was not a good backstory. the best part of alina’s arc was her scenes w/ inej. like “i think i like that hand with a dagger in it” oh my god iconic. the best part of the darkling was him getting his ass kicked by a bunch of teenagers (including the crows!!!!) for like 4 episodes straight LOL. so yeah, matthias if we’re including the side cast, alina or the darkling if it’s just the main cast.
