so i’m really hoping that this is just because shadow & bone is pre-six of crows, and this may be an unpopular opinion, but i wasn’t the biggest fan of kaz’s characterization in the show.

what he did was amazing and he had his strokes of genius and freddy carter is the perfect kaz, but i was definitely missing that very violent ruthlessness. and i was missing the “greed is your god” kaz and the “my father is profit i honor him daily” kaz and the “kaz brekker didn’t need a reason” kaz. he wasn’t half as dramatic with his dialogue as he could have been.

i think maybe some violence would have been great, something graphic and gritty that shows us we’re not messing with a con artist. pekka captures and threatens kaz all too easily in the first few episodes. 

i’m hoping the bastard of the barrel doesn’t carry that much weight for now because this is pre-soc, but kaz is supposedly known as one of the most ruthless men in ketterdam and i just did not at all get those vibes

he was a thief, a trickster, and incredibly smart, but his plans never really came to fruition and he was outsmarted more than once

this is not the kaz brekker who can see five steps ahead of the audience and jesper and inej at all times. jesper and inej in the show didn’t have as much faith in kaz as they did in the books

so fingers crossed by the time we get into six of crows we do have that kaz, the kaz who pulled out a man’s eye and threw him overboard and tossed another one off a building for extorting a sex worker. i want to see his backstory, i want to see him ruling the stave, i want kaz brekker, dirtyhands

[crookedwesper]

Also I dunno about y’all but I absolutely ADORED the hints towards Jesper’s abilities littered throughout the show. Like it was really subtle, from him closing his eyes when shooting the final Volcra to the fight with Ivan where he was curving the bullets and Ivan asking him what he was to when he fixed Kaz’s cane. The whole thing was just so well done and I honestly cannot wait for the reveal.

yeah

Kaz: *senses Inej behind him*

Kaz: *calls Inej an investment*

Kaz: *says Inej isn’t like others*

Kaz: *looks at Inej then immediately looks away*

Me:

[brekkerstop]

Do you ever think about that scene in QoAaD when Alec says - "... And when one day people look back on me and what my life meant, I don't want them to say, 'Alec Lightwood fought in the Dark War' or even 'Alec Lightwood was Consul once'. I want them to think, 'Alec Lightwood loved one man so much he changed the world for him'"? Because I do. A LOT.

I’ve watched the first episode of shadow and bone and it’s already perfect

[aleccarstairs]

WAIT TATIANA WHAT IN THE INCEST IS THIS!????

[aleccarstairs]

“You like things that are dangerous and unhealthy for you. I won’t be one of those things” is both the most heartbreaking and emotionally intelligent thing I’ve read in a long time.

[aleccarstairs]

[aleccarstairs]

I JUST GASPED!! THE RUNES WHERE ON JESSE!???! Bruh

[aleccarstairs]

He exchanged a long look with James. It said all the things Matthew would never say in front of all these people, no matter how he cares for them: it said that he loved James, that he would be here all night, if James needed him, that he believed in James as he believed in himself

- chain of iron
