How Six Of Crows Taught Me That It Was Okay To Not Always Feel Fine

ook so what counts as infantilizing wylan? could u give examples please lol. Like is referring to wylan as “my baby” infantilism be cause I literally refer to all characters as my babies 💀

I’m very suspicious of people who call Wylan their baby or their son because, in my experience, those tend to be the people babying him. It’s really weird because he’s the only character that is consistently treated like a child in the fandom.

Mostly in that post I was talking about people treating Wylan like their “innocent uwu gay baby.” Acting like he is unflawed, acting like he is innocent and pure despite the fact that his actual personality in the books is much different. (Yes, at the beginning of Six of Crows, a lot of what we see comes off as very childish. But even by the end of that book we learn more about his personality and capabilities.) Wylan isn’t like that at all, he’s intelligent, he’s insecure about himself, he’s filled with a lot of righteous anger, and he’s even a bit chaotic or violent at times. Not only does making him this innocent childish character not sit right with me, it throws away all of his character development in canon.

In short: Just follow his canon personality.

This is the scene that says Kaz has officically adopted Wylan.😂😂😂

This is Kaz being a dad.

I would LOVE to see him as a dad though one day. He would either be showering his kids in Kruge or reading to them Suli bed time stories. Or idk what. My imagination is running kinda wild at the moment.

To the person reading this, I hope tonight treats you gently, and that tomorrow looks brighter

@sixofcrowsnet heist: tragedies

“wylan understood then that he would never reach the school in belendt. he’d never been meant to. there was no secretary. no account in his name. no one was expecting his arrival. the supposed enrollment papers in his pocket might say anything at all. wylan hadn’t even bothered to try to read them. he was going to disappear, just as his father had always wanted, and he’d hired these men to do the job. (…) black spots filled wylan’s vision. he thought he could hear music”

Kaz is such a fucking SOFTIE deep down, it cracks me up every time. “My mother is the harbor, my father is greed” and then turns around to make sure the flowers they use in their escape are Inej’s favorites. Gets Jesper’s guns back for him even though he doesn’t have to. Allows and in fact encourages Nina to embrace her new powers. Goes out of his way to mentor Wylan. Asks Matthias to keep Mrs. Van Eck calm and comfortable even though it would’ve been easier to torture her. Essentially said he *missed* Jesper. Like??? What a soft little murderous gangster.

dramione fic rec list

COMPLETED SERIES

this is my first deep dive into dramione and i wanted to share these amazing series i’ve read in the last few months. no particular rank or order to this list. enjoy!!!

Manacled - @senlinyu / @senlinyuwrites  if you’ve delved into Dramione at all, you’ve most likely heard of this incredible dark epic. it takes place in a Voldermort Wins!AU and takes inspiration from the Handmaiden’s Tale about population control in this new frightful era of the Wizarding World. be prepared for all 77 chapters to consume you in this tale of love, loss and hope in between. 

+ emphasis on dark epic. the writer themselves have acknowledged that with such dark and heavy themes, there are large aspects of the story that may be triggering for some people and therefore manacled might not be the fic for you - and that’s totally okay! (what’s important is that you take care of yourself) as always, read the tags and know your limits. + senlinyu is a phenomenal writer, often collaborates with @elithien, pairing their artistry together. @avendell is also another great digital artist who has worked closely with senlinyu, even creating multiple companion art pieces for Manacled (but try not to let the art spoil some parts of the fic for you!!!) + senlinyu has soo many Dramione works, just follow them & dive into it!

Bone Mortar - @mightbewriting enemies to lovers is a given in everything i’m about to talk about in this post, but this short and sweet series takes us to a modern!au setting of academia. what’s not to love about these two professors who are about to go head to head over a little administrative conflict at the start of the new school year?

Keep reading

*taps microphone*

Inej Ghafa is actually a very morally grey character and failure to understand this proves that you don’t know what morally grey means

🛑Rule of Wolves Spoilerrr🛑

The line in Rule of Wolves that goes something like she picked you Zoya, not me, not Kaz Brekker has the same energy as Ron saying it’s you that has to go on not me not Hermione youuuu

oh, to be the owner of a small bookshop on a cobblestone street with roses climbing the front of the building, where books are stacked about in piles and there’s always coffee brewing and a sleepy shop dog lifts his head at the sound of the door’s bell and thumps his tail against the hardwood

CROOKED KINGDOM AND RULE OF WOLVES SPOILER

“Go little rockstar” but it’s Matthias watching Nina have mercy on his people
