Trans!Kaz is a thousand times more cool and based then trans!Wylan sorry
OR maybe…JUST MAYBE….ppl can hc BOTH as trans! shocker, i know but for most it’s called 🩷 projecting 🩷 and not “oh wylan seems so cute, he’s trans!”
Just so like... it's clear... anyone who censors words that contain "man" or "men" to anything like "xxn" that's TERF shit.
Any reference to women/womanhood that solely revolves around having a uterus or "womb" is TERF shit.
Any sentence where the OP says they support people being "trans identified" with quotes around ""transwomen"" or ""transmen"" is TERF shit.
I'm seeing a lot of you baby Tumblr gays out there not knowing what these specific TERF dogwhistles look like.
"Wombxxn" is an incredibly dumb way of spelling "woman" that treats the word "man" like a slur and also reduces women to their ability to give birth.
"Trans identified" is their way of saying "this person calls themselves trans, but I don't believe they are."
Saying "People should be allowed to identify however they wish, but we still need to protect women/children" IS TERF SHIT.
Learn to identify this garbage, because not all TERFs are going to spell out their intolerance for you. Some of them are going to try and seem reasonable and polite and normal, and it's fucking dangerous to our community.
Also unpack any internalized transphobia and your transmedicalism, because both those things will have you quickly siding with TERFs and bigots.
best characterization lines from the crows—wylan van eck
“Wylan nodded dumbly. His eyes were dazed and wide enough to drink from.
‘Just stay behind me and try not to get killed. Ready?’
Wylan shook his head.
‘Then forget I asked.’”
jesper thinking abt wylan’s eyes to ahhhh wylan’s eyes=moons!1!!1!!11!!11!1!! like i know this is about wylan but jesper ahhhh
“‘My father used to take me everywhere with him.’
‘Until?’
‘Until what?’
‘Until. My father took me everywhere until I contracted terrible seasickness, until I vomited at a royal wedding, until I tried to hump the ambassador’s leg.’
‘The leg was asking for it.’”
wylan’s humor is so underrated.
“So Wylan took stock of the room’s details—a trick he’d often used to steady himself whenever he arrived someplace new or when his father was in a particularly foul mood. He inventoried the pattern of interlocking starbursts that formed the polished wood floor, the shell-shaped nodes of the blown-glass chandelier, the cobalt silk wallpaper flocked with silver clouds.”
wylan’s entire pov chapter is just him observing not only the room but the rest of the crows. hate that his hyperfocus on his surroundings is due to his anxiety about his father and previous home environment but wylan really does remind me of kaz in this chapter
“The sharpshooter was covered in soot and smelled like a forest fire, but he had that wonderful glimmer-eyed look he always seemed to get when he’d been in a fight. All Wylan wanted to do was stand as close as he possibly could to him and know that he was safe.”
wylan van eck’s love language being physical touch <3
“‘Yes,’ Wylan said, that one word imbued with a whole world of hope. ‘But I don’t have anything to bargain with.’”
i adore this line because it’s so very wylan. inej is known for this but wylan is also so optimistic despite all he’s been through. his addition to the rest of the dregs as this new, “younger” kid is the addition of hope that the rest of them will also all turn out okay. (“we were all supposed to make it.”)
“‘See now? That’s why [Jesper] likes you. I know, I know—it’s none of my business, and I have no idea if he’d be good for you. Probably bring you ten kinds of headache. But I think you’d be good for him.’
Wylan’s face heated. He knew how much Colm loved Jesper, had seen it in every gesture he’d made. It meant something that he thought Wylan was good enough for his son.”
wylan seeing a healthy father-son relationship for the first time and getting the paternal approval he always wanted from the best father(in-law) figure ever everyone say thank you to colm fahey.
ty for all the love on jesper’s part!! motivated me to actually do a pt. 2 (LMAO) with wylan aka best literary character out there. which crow next?!
kaz’s version | wylan’s version | jesper’s version | nina’s version | matthias’s version | inej’s version
Wesper (Semi) Modern Royalty AU Prince Wylan and bodyguard Jesper.
“With all due respect your majest-”
“Drop the respect!” interrupted Wylan. His crown still sat crooked on his head, his uniform wrinkeled from running.
"Jesper van Eck, pleased to make your acquaintance."
Base on the Prompt: Regency AU ft. fake dating (or fake marriage B))
"promise me you will survive, that you will never give up, not matter what happens, no matter how hopeless, promise me now, and never let go of that promise"

Forgive me I haven't drawn in very long ^^'' Hope you like it!
Based on this fic by Alternatum on ao3!!
"Twenty-seven minutes ago, Wylan had walked out of his shift, and Jesper walked out just a little way behind him. Jesper had been spending his evening moving from group to group, always the welcome stranger, talking and joking and somehow always dodging it being his round. He had flirted, at points, quite obviously, although never with Kuwei or any of his friends, and had made a point each time to silently glance back at Wylan, something like challenge in his eyes but with a touch of playfulness about the set of his lips. Wylan had nearly dropped a glass the first time that had happened."

heyyyyy so in case you were wondering (you weren't but i forgive you for now) how pride month is going in russia so far today the bill banning any kind of gender-affirming healthcare and ability to change gender marker in documents passed first reading with all the deputies voting in favor of it
and on that note QueerSvit is a volunteer team helping LGBT people and POC in Russia (and, importantly, in Ukraine because, yknow, war) to escape to safety! and they could really use your donations! even the small amount of money could help to save a lot of lives! it would be really nice if you reblogged this and even more nice if donated!
I’ve literally had multiple people ask me straight to my face if I was bisexual because they suspected I was and even tho I knew in all three of those situations that the person I was talking to was safe (either queer themself or an ally), it was really scary to be forced in that moment to come out without my consent, or feel forced to lie about it in order to protect myself, regardless of whether I needed to or not. I can’t imagine being a world famous celebrity and having fan pages dedicated to my alleged sexuality, analyzing every behavior I did and whether or not it was queer, calling all of my relationships PR relationships or beards because they are so convinced I am a homosexual. Either erasing my bisexuality to call me a lesbian or forcefully outing me. People who don’t even know me. It’s scary and honestly creepy enough having someone who knows you personally do it, but someone who’s never even met you? And doing it in front of the whole world? I would never feel safe enough to come out, not just because of the risk of homophobic attacks, but because the people who claim to support me are the ones that made me do it
All of the actors for the Six of Crows storyline are remarkably well cast, but gonna focus on Kit Young for a second because that dude has something so fucking special. There's a subversive joy in his choices as Jesper that just kills me. Like at the end of season one with the line: "Tell me you have a plan. I don't care if it's a lie."
Reading that in your head without having seen his interpretation, the instinct is to go a little ragged, sardonic, exasperated - something to tell us that the character does actually care but just fucking can't deal with this shit right now. But Kit puts a pleading inflection on the line, his Jesper truly wants to be lied to, bringing it around to comedic desperation.
And it's not just with this line delivery, those facial expression reactions he does elevates every scene he's in. My favorite underrated moment is when he gives Wylan a confident wink and thumbs up when they're both getting the shit beat out of them. The juxtaposition of Jesper indicating "this is going exactly according to plan" when it's clearly not brings so much fun to the scene.
But the scene I keep coming back to over and over that I'm blown away by is under the carriage, when Jesper remembers Wylan. I could see so many actors taking those line directions and putting some angst behind them. We know Jesper was hurt when Wylan left in the morning, we know he blocked it out because his ego was bruised and he didn't want to face the pain of it. It would have made perfect sense for the line reading to have an edge to it, any indication of a grudge.
But Kit's face is lit up with nothing but fondness and joy as he remembers. And obviously actors aren't islands, the writers and directors have big influence - and they clearly are in line with a joy-filled Jesper, since the first thing they have Jesper say isn't "and you left me," it's "and you brought me stroopwaffles."
Jesper isn't a clown, but he's allowed to be one when he wants to be, and Kit leans into choosing joy with such effervescence. It only serves to make the dramatic scenes that much more heart wrenching. I hope we get a lot more Crows on screen, but whatever happens I'm excited to follow Kit's career, what a talented dude.
neither scott nor gerard knew that kate had raped derek, because derek never told them! so scott can't be be held accountable for dehumanising or "violating" derek (which scott never did, because it's just a neck grab.) what scott did to derek made derek a better person and taught him a lesson. not to mention that scott's plan defeated gerard and saved everyone's life. scott had a reason to use derek; just like scott had a reason to say that the hales deserved to be burnt alive by the hunters
I'm sorry, but did you literally skip all of the first part of my post? If you did, then I highlighted why what Scott did is something horrible to do, to ANYBODY. The fact that Derek is a rape victim makes it worse, but it's not like the action within itself isn't horrifying.
Look at this way: what if it had been, say, Jackson instead of Derek? My werewolves-in-lacrosse-is-cheating post aside, let's say that whoever Jackson bit would get the instant ability to play lacrosse like a pro and would become part of Jackson's team, and would also get dashing good looks. Jackson only bites the select few people whom he trusts and cares for, like Lydia and Danny, and sees the bite as something special, a gift. And then, when Scott is supposed to be allied with Jackson, he picks Jackson up, forces open his mouth, and closes it around Gerard Argent's arm, and later reveals that oh no, it was a trick all along, I've already dosed Gerard with lacrosse-bane LOL.
Jackson feels betrayed. He gets that it needed to be done, but to feel his own body be picked up and to be forced to do something that he thinks sacred, WITHOUT HIS CONSENT... despite the end result, it's horrifying. Those few moments haunt him forever. And all of it, ALL OF IT could have been avoided if only Scott had told him, Jackson, Scotts ally, that it needed to be done. And even then... well, Jackson would probably consent to it, but I wouldn't exactly call him a dick if he didn't.
And no, it wasn't just a 'neck grab'. Scott forced Derek to bite Gerard, even after Derek REPEATEDLY said no. If you rewatch that scene, Scott picks Derek up, forces open his mouth, and makes him bite Gerard's arm. It is... genuinely horrifying to watch.
Plus, Scott DID know that Derek's family had been burnt by Kate, even if he didn't know the exact story. He was basically setting Derek up for a lifetime of ptsd. If it had been an in the moment thing, a last resort (like, say Matthias getting Nina captured in the ice court. He had zero choice, because he needed to lure Brum in, get him to trust him, so that he could free Nina later. But I digress, or I'll rant about soc forever), then I probably wouldn't blame Scott. But he had to have been thinking of it for AGES, at least back when he started filling the capsules with mountain ash. Am I supposed to believe he couldn't think of anything better? Well, if that's so... then all disrespect intended, Scott is a fucking idiot and not half as smart as he thinks he is. Which in itself isn't a bad thing-- you don't HAVE to be super smart. But there's a reason that smart people make the plans, and it's because, well, they're smart, and they're the most capable of making good plans. So, either Scott is an idiot with zero-self awareness, or he's an ass.
Look, I don't know what the hell you're smoking, but generally, saying that the people trying to kill you and your ally, even if you think said ally has betrayed you, were right in burning said ally's family to the ground, killing literal, innocent children, when you've seen firsthand how BRUTAL the people trying to kill you are... yeah, it's a pretty dickish thing to do. Or idiotic, I suppose.
Well, I guess what I realized by making this post today is that there's a chance that Scott isn't actually a dick, he's just fucking stupid with zero critical thinking skills or self-awareness. Which... well, if that's what you were going for, anon, then I guess your goal has been accomplished.
And I just reread your ask, and realized I forgot to address this one thing:
Yeah, you're right. Derek learnt a lesson by having his bodily autonomy taken away and his body used against his will. Inej learnt a lesson by getting caught by Tante Heleen and being forced to relive the worst days of her life during the ice court heist, and Wylan learnt a lesson by getting beaten horribly by his father. Daenerys learnt a lesson by getting rape threats from Dothraki warlords and Yunkaii slavers. I could go on, anon, but I think that this is quite enough.
anyway jackson and derek are abusers and i’m glad derek is bones <3
i know i rbed a post about it yesterday but i'm still so mad about what s&b did to wylan. they took literally his whole personality away. they took away his bashfulness and anxiety. they took away his cunning and his mischief. they took away his quiet courage and his jealousy. they watered him down to a bland outline of a person and then ruined his whole dynamic with jesper as a result. their whole thing in the books relied on their friendship, the slow burn, and their emotional turmoil, especially in crooked kingdom. they lost everything that made them special when the show had them hook up before the season even starts. they ruined all the reveals with wylan's backstory. they literally could not have done a worse job with him. and it sucks because jack wolfe probably could have done a wonderful job with wylan's character had it been written properly. but he never got the chance.
why are y’all talking like the show is ending and there isn’t a chance of redemption lmao. while i do agree that they could’ve done a better job in the show (in comparison to the books) they did actually manage to make wylan kind of accurate. but now i’m wondering…why are so many of u guys so mad about show!wylan being more ?confident? seems kinda weird to me idk
sometimes I randomly think about the time a girl posted in this girls only Facebook group I’m in telling everyone how she broke up with her boyfriend and he lied saying that he lost the spare key she gave him, only to then break into her apartment when she wasn’t home and steal the cat they’d adopted while they were together, but then he denied having done this and she didn’t really have proof that he took the cat since he wouldn’t let her come into his place and look for it. And then another girl saw this post and knew her ex-boyfriend, and she was like “girl. I used to hook up with your mans back in xxxx and I still have his number. If you want, I’ll hit him up and get him to invite me back to his place and see if your cat’s there.” And the OP was like “bet.”
So this woman hit up homie dog, asked him out for drinks, went home with him, slept with him, and then woke up in the middle of the night and TOOK THE CAT. Like she had only said that she would confirm if the cat was there but then she took it upon herself to steal this woman’s cat back. Like she full on Trojan horsed this man and then hit up homegirl like “I got the goods. Where you wanna meet.” And then the two of them posted a photo of them together with the cat to the group.
And I just think women supporting women is so beautiful.
