Emma: Hook is my enemy

Hook: I am literally in love with you?

[the-oldtherebefore]

What show are we watching bro???. To preface this I literally am a huge captainswan fan and hate baeswan very much but you just straight up lieing

1)Neal himself was 17/18???

4) He was made to be a hero because he fought as hell to save his son and ultimately died to protect emma, his father and his son.

3)I personally think their love atp was very immature, teenage one, which is fine. Neal didn't commit a crime here.

2)Emma had been a criminal since running from her Foster home with lily. She met Neal because she was stealing his car.

5)Hook was never the bad guy. He was main character endgame energy from season 2 bro. That's not my words, that's the writer's words.

i will never get over how much i hate neal. he dated a 16 year old, got her into a life of crime, lovebombed the shit out of her, got her pregnant and left her to rot in jail. while he was 23 (technically older if you consider the time he spent in neverland).

AND THEN THEY MAKE HIM OUT TO BE A HERO???????? AND H O O K IS THE BAD GUY??????

I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM

PERFECT NO NOTES

six of crows ships and their greek mythology parallels

kaz and inej are orpheus and eurydice, because maybe the boys looking back doomed both the girls, but it was also ultimately an act of love. they looked back at their weaknesses, the women they were goners for. kaz and orpheus were devastated, kicking themselves for it, kaz for letting inej get captured, orpheus for letting eurydice get trapped in the underworld. all because they loved their girls enough to look back.

nina and matthias are odysseus and penelope. both nina and odysseus separated from their lovers to go to battle, nina to whatever troubles were to cross her next, odysseus to the trojan war. both matthias and penelope waiting for their return. nina vowing to reunite with matthias in their next lives, the same way odysseus vowed to reunite with penelope. nina and odysseus, two soldiers who yearn for the loves of their lives, holding out for the day they will meet again.

and jesper and wylan as achilles and patroclus. both of them a pair of boys who fought alongside each other, who fell for each other in the midst of it. boys who know each other down to the detail, who were battle partners and then friends and then more. boys who are the halves of eachother’s souls.

[the-oldtherebefore]

It's literally canon btw

Jesper: Dad, this is my boyfriend, Wylan.

Colm: You could do better.

Jesper: But I love hi-

Colm: I'm not talking to you.

Hope u don't mind me ranting

There is a death of personal thought both among the left and right wing but indian left is something else, I am a leftist but indian leftist are really not what I thought being left was about, irony of left wing is that they support individual thoughts yet they themselves lose their own individual thoughts and become a follower of prevailing politics in their own side without reason.

Mostly their hatred for hinduism and reducing it to just caste discrimination, sati or manusmiriti. Oh They love to bring up manusmiriti or some purana which were written in very later ages, they never bring up the Vedas, don't even study them cuz well vedas don't give them the fodder to spread anti hindu propaganda now do they? while the vedas are the what is central to hinduism not manusmiriti.

Well theocracy is bad no matter what religion and I believe in separation of religion and state is what should be. Here is a fact, no matter what religion, people are gonna bend it, twist it and make it oppressive towards the lower classes of society and woman, religion is a tool for upper man to oppress and this goes for all religions, but thier hate is so reserved for hindus and this denial of Hinduphobia and genocide accusing anyone who talks about kashmiri hindus as "weponizing their suffering for Islamophobia"

They talk about government should just give the land back to the pandits like the reason they were genocided from there still exists and prevails: Hinduphobia, who would ensure those hindus safety even if they returned. They compare hindus to Christians, see I am very against brahminism, that is what tainted the image of hinduism forever, but leftist not studying the actual religion and just going off of what they were told is hilarious. Hindus have done more to reform the religion than any other, to make it progressive and acceptable. But these leftist love to reduce it to one thing. I was watching this reel about hinduism being one of the most scientific philosophy and this comment by a famous leftist Ambedkarite creators was "science based casteism lol" their hate is so obvious god do you even care about caste discrimination? or do you care about weponizing it to justify your hatred for hindus?

Sorry for the long rant and thank you

Anon you've put my own thoughts into words for the most part. I too stopped indentifying from the Indian Left for the same reasons.

Krishna and Arjun at Kurukshetra 

[the-oldtherebefore]

@bornandbroughtupindepression Bro I was smart for a 12 year old but god bless me I did not understand wtf was happening in the heist AT ALL. So I used 100% brain and told nirmayee to read it too because we all sat together and she loves books. Then Reet saw me w the book and told me to translate and tell her the story (we did that a lot). So then reet asked us both just how the hell did the heist work and we both cooked up something so ridiculous that nirmayee refuses to acknowledge this book's existence now lol.

me reading six of crows: yes kaz’s perspective i can’t wait to know what the plan is

kaz: lol you and me both anyway let me tell you how beautiful inside out inej is and have i mentioned her laugh because-

[the-oldtherebefore]

rereading six of crows oh my god whyy does kaz interact with inej like he's playing episode with no diamonds

[the-oldtherebefore]

I always know it's coming but still

[the-oldtherebefore]

Leigh Bardugo, The writer that you are....

Kaz works soo well as a character because of the absolutely magnificent way in which his backstory is presented to us.

This paragraph is an excellent example of how to make the reader feelvthe trauma of a fictional character.

[the-oldtherebefore]

[the-oldtherebefore]

This is some indian tv serial level plot...

Kanej au inspired by Fast and Furious 

Basically one day Inej goes missing and is presume dead after her ship sank during a fight at sea and Kaz goes berserk. He starts hunting down the crew that sank Wraith, lose himself in revenge and only stops because Jasper gets seriously hurt and Nina is pregnant. He has a new motivation now, protecting his family 

Few years Zoya has a new job for the Crows. Some group of thieves with a really advance technology is causing troubles in Ravka and for some reason the crown can't get involve so the Queen as Kaz for help. Kaz of course says yes and they go to Ravka, I'm mean this is going to easy

Kaz freezes. Why? Because one of those thieves is Inej! And she threw a knife at him!

So yah, the story is that after Wraith sank Inej drifted away on a plank of wood but the whole situation resulted in her getting a severe amnesia. Those thieves found her, took her in and made her part of their gang. But they are not a family, just coworkers.

So now the Crows need to stop those thieves but also find a way to make Inej remember them, that they are her family. And Inej wants to trust her, after all their are so nice and that Kaz flirts with her even though she threw a knife at him and he shows that he really knows her because he described her scars she never showed anyone

Also, I know cars don't exist in grishaverse, but that scene where Brian and Dom drive a car from one skyscraper to another is something Kaz and Jesper would do. I mean it's the same level of ridiculousness as the tank scene

[the-oldtherebefore]

It is SOO boyfriend of Kaz brekker to look at Inej when someone mentioned a thing that he is curious about. And it's only page 18... This boy NEVER stood a CHANCE.

[the-oldtherebefore]

Just like to point out to the Shadow and Bone community that,

"Mal" in hindi slang literally means sexy/hot.
