Haunted Rollercoaster

Six of Crows is 90% of what I talk about on here

[hauntedrollercoaster]

I want more darker shores, give me my crows back :(

[hauntedrollercoaster]

Young Inej Ghafa camping in a ravkan forest and playing hide and seek tag with her cousins. She asks one of them to count, then scurries up the tallest tree as fast as possible and staying there until she wins. Once she wins she climbs down to rejoin the group. Soon the next person starts seeking, and she climbs up again immediately to the exact same spot. Some of her cousins try to convince her that she’s won and can come down already, but this is Inej so she doesn’t fall for it, opting instead to stay in her corner of the sky.

Jude Duarte

[sweetwickednemesis]

One thing I really love about The Folk of the Air trilogy is how Cardan and Jude are mutually shitty to each other and to others. This is such a true, genuine 'enemies to lovers' that I have not actually seen with characters that possess so many flaws.

I love that Jude isn't love-struck and following Cardan like a puppy. I am glad she's not constantly talking about how "hot" he is and she is not instantly in-love with him. She is her own person with ambition and is willing to actually do what it takes to get what she wants. She doesn't only think about it or have it suddenly handed to her, she acts on her desires and achieves them. Frequently getting hurt in some way in the process, too.

Cardan has genuine cruelty that he isn't afraid to lean into, genuine vulnerability and the ability to fully admit it without making excuses. He isn't physically domineering and built so big he can't fit in a doorway. He's a spoiled little pretty boy.

These two were backstabbing each other and pissing each other off constantly. They were taunting and threatening and angry. They were frustrated. They were disgusted. The hate between them was real and mutual.

The Folk of the Air trilogy isn't a one-sided 'MMC is shitty and abusive to the soft, loving FMC but he's really been a good guy all along and he's loved her since before she was even born and all the hate they felt was sexual attraction because of a mating bond created by the stars' story.

Jude and Cardan wrote their fates; separately and together. They fought for their lives, they fought for their loves, and they fought for and with each other.

angsty angsty angsty headcanon: alys wasn’t actually air-headed and vapid and silly like everyone thought; jan was actually just drugging her to make sure she stayed complacent and didn’t start getting her own ideas like marya had

[hauntedrollercoaster]

Yes

“kanej’s next kiss is going to be a hand kiss”

“kanej’s next kiss is going to be a hair kiss”

kaz is going to kiss that lil furrow between inej’s brows when she’s irritated at him send tweet

[whimzzzyarts]

Imagine if the next kiss is actually somewhere on her heart area. Which is technically another pulse point tha keeps Kaz grounded due to the constant reminders of the fact that Inej is alive.

The furrow between her brow is cute, but their actual first kiss was so sexy, I can actually imagine this.

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

headcanon that wylan can identify each of the crows by their footsteps alone

[hauntedrollercoaster]

I can get behind them all but Inej. If Kaz couldn’t learn her after nearly two years, Wylan won’t be able to either

[butterflypython]

it’s actually so fascinating to think what Kaz’s fashion would be in a modern au because the way he dresses canonically is intrinsically tied to the social and historical context he exists in. He wears all black suits because that’s what Mercher’s wear and he likes the symbolic way he puts himself, a street rat, on the same level as them. But in a modern society, there is no monolithic “rich people” fashion or obvious divide between the way the poor dress and the way the rich do, because of how diverse fashion is now. So it makes me wonder, in a modern version of Kerch, what’s exactly would Kaz wear? What would invoke that same mocking “look at me, I’m poor and I can dress just like you” in modern Kerch? Thrifted designer? (not logo designer though, Kaz is just vain enough to refuse to wear that even in a mocking way lmao) idk when I’m feeling lazy I just put him in the old money aesthetic and call it a day but it is very interesting to think what he would actually wear based on his motivations and thought processes in the book

[hauntedrollercoaster]

I don’t think old money is the easy way out here. He dresses in old money in the books too, the merchers are the definition of old money.

I think the fibers would play a big part. He would only wear high end fabrics- 100% wool for a lot of his items. Not because he cares, but because he knows the big players can tell.

In his free time (what free time though be real) I could see him wearing sweats, but even those would be perfectly pressed, no stains, quality fabric, and as a matching set.

He would wear a Rolex. He probably has a different Rolex for every day of the week. His cufflinks are worth a car. He definitely didn’t pay for any of it, but realistically neither do the real billionaires of today.

TLDR; his clothes always match, expensive fabrics, pressed and clean, and he has like 9 Rolex’s that he cycles through just to show off

Six of Crows - finally got all of them together!

Prints available on my etsy.

[hauntedrollercoaster]

If these aren’t AI, it’s my favorite design I’ve ever seen of Kaz. Give that boy baby face and a desire to kill everything that moves

[whydatewhenyoucanhyperfixate]

it’s been farrrrr too long since i’ve done a random soc headcanons post so here’s a lot of them:

matthias is actually more of a cat person but just never knew because of the fjerda wolf obsession, and then when he got to ketterdam and saw all the stray cats he just kind of fell in love

jesper makes his barrel flash even flashier by diy sewing funky patterns onto his clothing

whenever the crows group hug they leave a big hole for kaz to just stand in between

while having to wait in the bunker kuwei wrote smut about him and jesper and burned it after

inej pretty much never talks about her period but nina will not stop complaining about hers and whenever she does inej does nod along vigorously, reminding the other crows that she, too, gets periods

wylan is very easily calmed by watching fish swim around

matthias loves winter but dislikes summer, nina loves summer but dislikes winter. they help each other romanticise all the seasons.

wylan thinks kaz stealing his fathers dekappel is the funniest thing ever and comments on it every single time he sees it, like “wow what a nice painting, where’d you get that?” etc

alys exclusively wears bows in her hair. or on her clothes. or both. she loves bows

[hauntedrollercoaster]

The Kaz hole in the group hugs is taking me out, it’s hilarious and perfect.

[whydatewhenyoucanhyperfixate]

okay i know wylan did not at all enjoy looking like kuwei but can we talk about the parts he probably did enjoy? not seeing his father every time he looked in the mirror? not being scared of miggson and prior coming for him with every turn he made? not having to face the dread of seeing old merchants he used to know? getting to stare at jesper without him knowing?

[gabeofcrows]

do you ever think about the fact that wylan immediately had a crush on jesper from the moment he laid eyes on him? and then do you ever think about that fact that jesper made fun of him for months, laughing at his rich background and calling him useless? do you ever think about how that must have made wylan feel, stuck on a boat with the guy he's so in love with poking fun at him and making him feel insecure?

[rambling-rosee]

I’m sooo bored and nosy so here’s a no-pressure tag game:

Drop any crazy pieces of lore you have, I’ll go first:

- There’s a person on Pinterest who looks identical to someone who manipulated like 8 of my friends and it’s so weird

- There’s a person who texted me so much that I ghosted them and I feel uncomfortable around them now and just want them to leave me alone

- In 6th grade I had a crush on a pretty obviously gay man and had no idea because I barely knew what being gay was lol

- Let’s just say I’ve listened to the song Heather by Conan Gray a lot and it’s been very applicable to literally four situations I’ve found myself in because I always seem to end up liking someone who likes someone else

Again no pressure! And don’t dox yourself lol

[hauntedrollercoaster]

I guess I have a few of these, let’s see.

- I have a doppelgänger - if you asked our closest friends to describe us you would get the same answers, and our college applications looked exactly the same. Same grades, classes, clubs, extracurriculars, family dynamics, down to her living in the same neighborhood as me. Only problem is she hates my guts and nobody knows why.

- old friend of mine bullied me for an interest only to develop the same interest 3 months later and never apologized

- met my previous boyfriend on a cruise ship. His name was Jack. The ship did not sink somehow

- I absolutely love swimming and was pretty fast when I was on swim team, but I’ve developed a condition that makes it impossible for me to swim.

- I can picture a cow in my head and rotate it, but I can’t ever see the right side of it. My brain just jumped from bottom to top and then continues to rotate. I can see the left side though.

Hope this isn’t too much info

[hauntedrollercoaster]

I have never read twilight nor watched any of the movies. I’ve seen clips, I heard it was bad as a kid and never questioned that.

But seeing as I am in this position, I am so tempted to read twilight and midnight sun for the first time at the same time just to see how funny it can get

[hauntedrollercoaster]

Nina w chipped nail polish gives such baddie vibes

[grishaversefaketweets]

[hauntedrollercoaster]

I wholeheartedly believe this is how Jesper would talk/post today.

Yes, technically Kaz would understand because he is also a barrel boy and talks in slang, but head cannon wise I love to imagine that Jesper and Nina start talking and he cannot understand a single word in the sentence
