Six Of Crows Spoilers - Tumblr Posts
I’ve been reading the Grishaverse books/watching the Netflix show for the first time over the past couple weeks or so and I just have to say that I think it's so funny whenever Kaz gets snarky about Inej's proverbs or Matthias's religious talk or Jesper’s Jesperisms or anyone else being even slightly philosophical or theatrical or whatever because Kaz Brekker is the most dramatic bitch in all of Kerch. Like. I'm pretty sure this kid graduated top of his class from the School of Dramatic One-Liners with a double major in "Commit to the Aesthetic" and "Writing Epic Love Poetry Whilst Maintaining the Bad Guy Reputation". Dude wanted to impress a girl and wasn’t sure if getting the whole ass king of Ravka to find her long-lost parents was enough so he bought an entire warship from his friend who absolutely would have just Given It To Him but noooooo Mr. Protecting-My-Investment over here had to pay a fair price otherwise it doesn’t count.
The only, and I mean the ONLY reason I don't say he's the most dramatic bitch in the entire Grishaverse is because Nikolai Lantsov exists and that man once wore his entire army uniform under his jacket to go volcra hunting in the Shadow Fold on the off chance he would get to make a dramatic reveal at the end. He put a spring-loaded curtain in front of the weapons rack on his personal ship just in case he had guests he wanted to show off for. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did the dramatic flourish every time he opened those curtains for literally no one but himself. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he made that set up after he had guests he wanted to show off for. That curtain either went up two hours before he used it or it was the first thing he built on that ship there is no in between.
I need copious amounts of Expo markers, PowerPoint slides, and glitter to figure out which one of them takes the title it is CLOSE.
Love how Inej’s love language is acts of service and Kaz’s love language is protection through violence; and in the end of the books Kaz is the one who buys off Inej’s freedom and finds and brings her family back and Inej is the one who carves out Pekka Rollins’ heart and puts the fear of God in him. They exchanged love languages <3
so spoiler for six of crows for those who have only watched or read the shadow and bone show or trilogy :)
about wylan, and the introduction of his character, I really really do hope that they don't tell us just yet that he can't read, like kudos if it's hinted, kudos if there's several instances where he avoids reading while making up excuses that also hint to there being another problem, but i don't want them to directly tell us that he can't read, not like it's done by van eck at the end of six of crows, because it is something so important to his character imo that he tries to keep it hidden for such a long time it genuinely comes off as a surprise when you find out, when you're explicitly told one of the smartest characters in the series can't read, and also it's part of the things wylan hides about himself that isolates him from the rest of the crows at first but when it's out in the open it's like yeah no they don't care about that, they care about YOU
idk if I'm making sense, but it's things like this, or things like his name being van eck rather than hendriks, or jesper being grisha, or kaz's aversion to touch, or inej's past, things that i like that are not explicitly told but rather shown in the little details right until they come to light for x or y reason
like i wouldn't mind if some things are told explicitly, but it would be nice if they were kept a "secret" for a little while longer, just until we get to six of crows
On the one hand I am sad that they're rushing the Crows timeline because some of the scenes lose a lot of their weight (Kaz beating up the men, Kaz cleaning Inej's wound, Jesper's powers being found out) but on the other hand I'm a simple bitch who gobbles it up
