Look, so I get the appeal of making Kaz in modern AUs be the delinquent who spends every Saturday in detention and that’s cool and all, but consider… Van Eck says in SoC that Kaz hasn’t been arrested since he was 14, and he always puts on the respectful “yes sir” act around Per Haskel. So imagine, little demon-child middle school Kaz was every teacher’s worst nightmare, but contrary to all the horrors they heard, the high school staff find him to be oddly pleasant. Like honor roll, does extra credit, total kiss ass to teachers. But then stuff happens. School website was hacked. The school board president’s shady emails are published online. The lion mascot costume always ends up missing before pep rallies and is replaced with a giant crow one. The school’s 5 month supply of chicken casserole is one day just gone. Someone scaled the gym wall to hang up a banner reading “fuck Principal Rollins” from the ceiling. They all know. Everybody knows. They just. can’t. prove anything.

Also him and Matthias have the catty better-than-you antagonism that only ever spawns between AP kids and student athletes.

[crows-and-co]

So I've noticed this post making the rounds, and I just wanted to add a few more details to what my modern day AU would be:

-Inej is on the gymnastics team, but to add to her spy/info-gathering background in the books she's also a great hacker online

-Wylan is a band kid who takes chemistry through the local community college's program

-I don't know how many of you had the Fellowship of Christian Atheletes at your high schools, but Matthias would definitely join (maybe quit?) this club if it's in your AU

-I saw someone say Nina would play volleyball, and she definitely gives off student athletes who takes AP Lit vibes (thus she shares the soldier-grind mentality with Matthias but unlike him she wasn't confused by Bronte's gothic writing) (fwi, Matthias is also in her AP Lit class, but the only book he's gotten into so far is Beowulf because OF COURSE Matthias would love Beowulf)

-Per Haskel teaches drivers ed and everyone at school has a story about him smoking in the school car or reading the newspaper during driving practice

-If this is a Jordie lives AU, I'd make him the school treasurer of student counsel as a senior (Kaz being a freshman during this time).

-Jesper does not radiate the energy of someone who was on the trap team in high school, but I mean we have to put him on the school trap team, right? We can balance this by making him either a theater kid or (I'd argue a better fit) a speech kid who enters in Humorous or Info

-Everyone thinks Kaz grew up in a rough inner city district, but he actually grew up in a Midwestern middle of nowhere county where the one K-12 school's mascot is like the Corn Cobs or something (for the really brave writers, make Kaz a former homeschooled kid)

no but like no one does religious imagery like kaz and inej? how many conversations have they had in the books and onscreen about religion? about inej’s faith and kaz’s lack thereof? and kaz telling inej that hope is dangerous and she needs to let go and move on? but then it’s all “he was a boy again, sure that there was magic in this world” and “‘i feel sorry for you brekker you have nothing sacred’ there was a long pause and then kaz said, ‘you’re wrong’” and kaz drowning in djel, water sacred to fjerdans, literally getting baptized and all he can think of the whole time is inej and “she stood in the center of the tile floor, framed by white and gold, like a gilded icon” and kaz describing inej’s voice as “the voice that had once led him back from hell” and inej saving kaz’s life while they’re in a church and joe trapanese literally writing a hymn for the soundtrack so that the plagal cadence where everyone’s supposed to sing amen happens right when kaz looks up at inej above him in the church and “no saint ever watched over me not like you have” like jesus fucking christ doesn’t it make you absolutely insane thinking about how “kaz was still the boy who had saved her she wanted to believe he was worth saving too” but kaz already and always will view inej as his sacred something his salvation his saint i’m literally going to swallow a rock and cartwheel off a building

Just another day of me praying into the void that six of crows 3 never comes out

I also Do Not Want This Book.

[crows-and-co]

I have such mixed feelings on this because Crooked Kingdom did a great job wrapping up the six characters' arcs and I'd hate to see this spoiled with a poorly realized 3rd book. At the same time, I'm a total Kaz simp (we're all different, but I connected with his story the most) and I feel like he ends the series with still a lot of room to grow as a character. Like, Kaz's whole conflict in the series is whether he's going to continue down the path of isolation and destruction or if he's going to let himself be vulnerable and connect with others. At the end of CK it's implied he's chosen the latter, but it's so up in the air regarding how this choice will impact his life. I think there's a lot you can do with that. So yeah, I'm nervous but hopeful for SoC 3

#he’s so modest

Kaz: Well, it’s time to move onto Plan 2.

Inej: Plan B, you mean?

Kaz: That would insinuate I have only twenty-six plans.

I love how this more or less was an actual exchange in the show

[grungegoths]

I just remembered that kaz bekker killed a man by throwing him off a bridge because he told kaz about how he was blackmailing a black sex worker into having sex with him free of cost regularly bc he knew that she was keeping the gifts her client was giving her instead of giving them to her pimp who would probably have burnt her to death if found out. And i really think thats one of the most underrated scenes in SOC

Like the description of that scene was fucking ICONIC - the fact that kaz was about to reel that man back up the bridge after getting the information he needed from him but changed his mind after he told kaz that he had information about one of the girls at the menagrie,how kaz visibly got the homicidal note in his voice after he heard the man saying that,the fact that it become even more dangerous when he confessed that he was blackmailing her into giving him free sex bc that girl knew that shed be killed by tante heleen if he ratted her out to tante, the fact that kaz even tried to TELL that man how shitty it was that he was basically holding her life over her head to pressurize her into having sex with him .How kaz slowly began to let that man’s legs slide through his grasp and said “Its terible isnt it?Knowing someone holds your life in his hands” and threw him off the bridge after he screamed “Shes just a working girl!! im a good man” bruhh that was fucking awesome i fucking LOVE kaz bekker

SIX OF CROWS APPRECIATION WEEK ★ Day Five: Favourite Brotp

↳Kaz & Jesper

Jesper tapped his fingers restlessly on his thighs. “Has anyone noticed this whole city is looking for us, mad at us, or wants to kill us?“

”So?“ said Kaz.

”Well, usually it’s just half the city.”
