I feel like the "Kaz pushes Inej away bc he thinks he's not enough for her" trope that I see a lot in fics is kind of a big misread of Kaz's character and leans too far into the standard "sad bad boy" character type. Kaz calls Inej "lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved" but a lot of people seem to forget the very next line where he says he's "not so broken that he couldn’t pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her."

Like, Kaz sees that Inej is better than he deserves, and his response to that isn't "I should treat her like shit so she'll give up on me", it's "challenge fucking accepted." If you tell him a safe is uncrackable, he won't stop until he's cracked it, and if you tell him he's not good enough for the girl he loves, he'll spend the rest of his life trying to be.

kaz brekker could’ve defeated thanos in infinity war but the avengers could have never pulled off the ice court heist and that’s just facts

i take back what i said about freddy being nothing like kaz. when the interviewers scared the cast, he just sat there completely unbothered and held amita’s hand, then laid back and said “so funny” as if the entire cast didn’t almost just pass tf out

the crows are so much funnier than the fandom give them credit for

here are just SOME of the funniest moments throughout the books

“….you can find your way to Ravka or Matthias’ grandmother’s house for all i care” “leave my grandmother out of this”

obviously the ghost scene

pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to

“you speak Fjerdan about as well as i speak moose” “moose is probably your native tongue”

‘Had they blown up the lab? Kaz had definitely NOT told them to blow up the lab’

The deadpan ‘He had not been shot’

Kaz trying to justify his decision if bringing Wylan along to the rest of the crows: “ i told you, ✨hidden depths✨” “see Jesper, ✨marketable skillz✨”

‘“You all look so young, where are your parents?” Wylan and Jesper burst out laughing’

“This many people having fun in one place might have shocked the Fjerdan right out of you”

“I.Should.Let.You.Die”

Nina trying to bring Kaz back: “The Ice Court, remember? 3 million kruge?” Kaz’s eyes cleared. “4 million”

“You couldn’t look guiltier if you were performing the role of Thief #3 in a penny play on East Stave”

“Who wants to buy i coat in the dead on night?” “Tourists”

“Tiny and Ferocious, just like you”

“Unless you have a unicorn for him to ride away on, there is no scenario that guarantees Kuwei’s safety”

‘They could fake a pregnancy. They couldn’t fake an actual birth. Or maybe they could, he wouldn’t put anything past Kaz at this point”

“He has a very soothing baritone”

‘“I’d prefer a pair of sable-lined swimming trunks, but we can’t always get what we want” A furrow appeared between Kuwei’s brows. His understanding of Kerch had apparently been reached and surpassed’

The Wyvil

Matthias thinking they should just let Nina and Jesper flirt the entirety of Ketterdam into submission

That MASTERPIECE of a scene where Jesper and Kaz have a random petty fistfight, and all the other crows literally move out of the way, and then when Wylan tries to get someone to stop them they just shrug and go ‘I mean they aren’t using their weapons let them fight it out’ and THEN Colm coming him and scolding them and both of them IMMEDIATELY stopping

“Whatever you say, Llewelyn”

Nina’s singing

Wylan and Kaz falling through the ceiling onto Van Eck’s dinner party will ALWAYS be iconic

Kaz’s chapters in general are absolutely HILARIOUS, but my personal favorite is when he’s depending on Matthias Not Betraying them, and he thinks something like this:

‘Either he was right and Matthias’ feeling for Nina would prove enough, or Kaz was about to pay for all those talking tree jokes’

The talking tree jokes in question

The initiation ceremony where the tree teaches you the secret handshake

‘His first thought was that this boy had the most beautiful lips he’d ever seen, and his second was that he was probably about to die’ Wylan honey we’ve got to talk about your priorities

“Is it that bad?” “No, you just have really ugly feet”

That scene at the start of Six of Crows where Van Eck has Kaz tied to a chair and is explaining what he needs, and then is explaining why he needs Kaz specifically, talking about how his De Kappel painting was stolen which is a really impressive feat, while Kaz is vehemently denying that he had anything to do with it although it was obviously him

Wylan being passive aggressive while Jesper is trailing after him trying to apologize for the Kuwei thing

“Can’t we just enter as performers? I hear Wylan really kills it on the flute”

Inej getting Nina’s cookie jar after she gets back and Jesper being offended that he didn’t get to take some

Nina making fun of Kaz’s haircut

“Is my tie straight?”

That’s all I can think of for now, i’m sure there’s more so if you think of something feel free to add on
