#wylan: no comment

[shit-people-probably-didnt-say]

Stadwatch: During our search of the room we found two pearl handed guns

Jesper: Im not familiar with any pearl handed guns…

Stadwatch: You know, like what a cheap pirate would carry

Jesper: Hey! They are NOT cheap

Jesper: Shit

I've seen this like a couple of times recently, but what is up with people calling our fandom dead? Like hello? We're clearly here, very much alive and not dead in the slightest (especially proven by the sab + soc spin-off campaign).

We're all here, very much alive and loving our characters with all our souls

[wylanspipebomb]

hi jack wolfe exists as an actor and person outside of six of crows and constantly comparing them to wylan when they’re in roles that have absolutely nothing to do with it is a little /:

he did a lovely lovely job with a character we all love so much and it makes me happy but we should also give him room to grow and explore theater again without being tied to the role

[asilverose16]

is it mad if I say I like the shadow and bone series just for the crows. I mean yes the others are good stories, good plots and who are we kidding, hot. but there just something about the 6 of em that I cannot and WILLNOT get over EVER.

I mean just look at them

This might be a Hot Take for Wylan but:

Wylan still being uncomfortable in the Wesper house as it still once was a place for his trauma, and naturally would still have days where he cannot enter a certain room or he wants to be anywhere else but there. Yes it’s his house, yes Jesper is there to help him, but it’s still the location of his abuse and trauma so naturally he won’t just magically heal from all that.

On that note— stop pushing aside of Wylan’s trauma and abuse and issues and angst by just saying, “Jesper will protect him!” That invalidates Wylan’s trauma and severely reduces Jesper in the Wesper relationship. You can’t just suddenly become healed because of one person— and you also can’t expect one person to just protect another from their trauma. That’s unrealistic and unfair and creates an unbalanced relationship. Yes, Jesper can help and be a source of comfort and a major boost for Wylan, but the way people always talk as if Jesper somehow heals the years of abuse Wylan endured.

Despite focusing a lot of effort on his outward appearance and personal hygiene, I just know that Jesper does not wash his bedsheets.

[krittec]

for the longest time, i genuinely believed that people who were like “I don’t understand Six of Crows/Crooked lol what happened? where did that tank come from?” were joking because it seemed like too many people to be real.

recently found out that they actually have no idea of what happened despite reading the book but saying it’s their favourite and i am absolutely shocked plus a little concerned

[servantleverslutdrop]

People who have Wylan as their favorite crow, explain to me why

[fantastic-nonsense]

One of the most underrated scenes in Six of Crows is this bit during the pyre chapter:

They heard it then – a moan, like a creaking wind. “Saints,” Jesper said. “One of them is alive.” The sound came again, thin and keening, from the black hulk of the body on the far right. It was impossible to tell if the shape was male or female. Its hair had burned away, its clothing fused to its limbs. Black flakes of skin had peeled away in places, showing raw flesh. A sob tore from Nina’s throat. She raised her hands but she was shaking too badly to use her power to end the creature’s suffering. She turned her tear-filled eyes to the others. “I…please, someone …” Jesper moved first. Two shots rang out, and the body fell silent. Jesper returned his pistols to their holsters. “Damn it, Jesper,” Kaz growled. “You just announced our presence for miles.” “So they think we’re a hunting party.” “You should have let Inej do it.” “I didn’t want to do it,” Inej said quietly. “Thank you, Jesper.” Kaz’s jaw ticked, but he said nothing more. -Ch. 19, Six of Crows

There's just. so much. to unpack here.

Matthias, silent during the entire conversation except for his initial protest to Nina (despite this happening in one of his POV chapters), filled with anger and horror at the revelation that his people engaged in what to him is a barbaric and outdated practice

Nina, who has absolutely killed several people before, not being able to do it this time

Jesper, who is Grisha, being the one who's both willing and able to take the shot

Kaz, who knows Jesper is Grisha, basically implying that Jesper shouldn't have been the one to kill them

Kaz disguising his concern for Jesper behind condemnation for giving away their position and cruelty towards Inej

Inej supporting Jesper and thanking him for killing them so she wouldn't have to

Kaz not saying another word after Inej said her piece

The Nina/Matthias conversations afterwards and while they're burying the bodies are also laden with a lot of baggage and heartbreaking character interactions, but so much of how everyone initially reacts to seeing the pyre very much reflects where they are in their character arcs and how they see themselves in relation to everyone else at this point in the duology

[astrhae]

i loved quid pro quo!!! 🥹 would you ever write something from Jesper’s pov as well?

p/s your fic what you once wanted was also one of my fav dreamling fic too you cant imagine how happy i am that you’re a wesper shipper as well 🥹

hi hello!! i am currently writing two fics that's a mix of wylan and jesper's pov: with everything to win (anastasia and tangled au), and a band au. the second one hasn't been posted yet but i've made little social media edits for it and here's a little sneak peek for you 🥰

[seidenbros]

[romantichopelessly]

One of the reasons I staunchly defended keeping the Crows in Shadow and Bone before their book plot starts is that I thought it was an excellent opportunity to explore some of the relationships and dynamics within the groups that don’t get much time in the books.

For example, Nina and Wylan. They get almost no screen-time alone together in the books, but we know that they at least knew of one another before Six of Crows starts. The show could explore that! Same with other lesser seen pairs, like Jesper and Nina, or Inej and Wylan, or, hell, even more focus on how Inej grew to trust Jesper enough for him to be the only man she’s (mostly) comfortable with wrapping an arm around her at the beginning of the book.

And it’s really disappointing that the show didn’t take that chance. It’s like they thought that people wouldn’t be satisfied enough with seeing platonic relationships play out on screen, so they threw in what they knew was fan bait immediately just to boost ratings.

[ruins-and-rewritez]

The Crows as Phobias

Kaz: Haphephobia - the fear of being touched

Inej: Basophobia - the fear of falling

Jesper: Atychiphobia – the fear of failure

Wylan: Bibliophobia – the fear of books or reading aloud

Nina: Thantophobia - the fear of losing someone/the fear of death

Matthias: Demonophobia - the fear of demons
