I love how, at his core, Matthias is the most golden retriever to ever golden retriever. He's gentle, kind, deeply empathetic, surprisingly perceptive, has such a big heart and such a softboi nature. But when he needs to assure support, he does so with th utmost loyalty and strength. The rough and angry version of him in the beginning of the duology was the result of years of taught prejudice, but that's not who Matthias is.

Matthias is the boy who tamed the wild wolf. Matthias is the boy who understood Kaz's deep-seated desire for vengeance, Matthias stopped Kaz and Jesper from fighting, Matthias helped Nina when she was vomiting and craving parem, Matthias handled Alys Van Eck with the most maturity, Matthias assured his crewmates when they felt down, and Matthias tried to guide a boy to peace and light while he held a gun to his chest.

i had a person in my comments telling me matthias was evil and a nazi and stuff and like no… he was a child…

he was taught for a large chunk of his life that prejudice, and then he changed. he worked to make himself better. he is not the rough angry version in the beginning of the duology. he is a victim of a trusted adult’s systematic manipulation of a child.

even when he was a part of the druskelle, nina was able to see that he was actively fighting against himself to fit in with them. he was forcing himself to be meaner and rougher and less empathetic, because he thought that was who he was supposed to be.

it should also be noted that the druskelle- more specifically, their leader- found him in such an intensely fragile and vulnerable state in his life. grisha inferni had set fire to and killed his entire village, including his mother and father and baby sister. the druskelle gave him somewhere to funnel his grief and turn it into hate for the people who took his childhood away. i am in no way saying that what he did was right, or even acceptable, but it is understandable.

there are thousands of characters who were “evil” and then realized the error of their ways and changed to be better, and they’re all seen as heroes. literally like half of the avengers, or the entire descendants franchise, or every male love interest in a young adult romantasy series have had the same character arc as matthias did. so why can’t matthias be given the same grace?

he was a child. he was manipulated by an entire society. he was a victim.

i wanna see the crows with visibly different bodies and body types.

i wanna see kaz be medium/slightly below average height (around 5’6-5’7). i wanna see him with a yellow, almost green hue to his skin. i wanna see him with pox scars along with battle scars. i wanna see him with uneven hair because he can’t let anyone else close enough to cut it for him. i wanna see him be lean but muscular. i wanna see him with his R tattoo.

i wanna see inej be tiny (4’11 AT MOST). i wanna see her with actually brown skin, not just slightly darker white. i wanna see her with the broad shoulders and thick thighs and all the musculature of a trained gymnast. i wanna see her with hair slicked back with tons of gel and hairspray like a dancer. i wanna see her with a flat chest and little to no curves (as was described in the books). i wanna see her with calluses on her hands and feet.

i wanna see nina be tall (around 5’11). i wanna see her with fat rolls. i wanna see her with wide hips and a chest that gives her back pain. i wanna see her with flabby underarms and stretch marks on her legs and torso. i wanna see her with central heterochromatic eyes. i wanna see her with the body language of someone who was trained to be a soldier since childhood. i wanna see her with wavy but not curly hair. i wanna see her with beauty marks scattered all over her body.

i wanna see matthias be reasonably tall (6’0-6’3). i wanna see him with big muscles, especially on his upper half. i wanna see him with light skin and even lighter hair. i wanna see him with battle scars and wolf bite scars. i wanna see him with burn scars from the fire that destroyed his village. i wanna see him with a triangular shoulder-to-waist ratio. i wanna see him with the faintest of faint freckles across the bridge of his nose.

i wanna see jesper be unreasonably tall (6’5-6’8). i wanna see him be lanky and long-limbed. i wanna see him with the muscles of a farmer. i wanna see him with calluses on both his hands. i wanna see him with battle scars and the scars one gets from horses and cows and farm-related incidents. i wanna see him with cherry blossom and jurda bloom tattoos. i wanna see him with a wide nose and plump lips. i wanna see him have little to no curve from his shoulders to his waist to his hips. i wanna see him with stretch marks from growing so tall so fast. i wanna see him with big hands and feet. i wanna see him with his mother’s dark skin and his father’s freckles.

i wanna see wylan be short (5’5-5’6). i wanna see him be scrawny and gaunt in the way a person gets when they’ve been malnourished (he canonically had to cut new holes in his belt when he got to the barrel). i wanna see him with hair that shifts between auburn, strawberry blond, and gold depending on the lighting. i wanna see him with actually curly hair and not just waves. i wanna see him with chemical burn scars and scars from his father’s abuse. i wanna see him with thin musician’s fingers. i wanna see him absolutely covered in freckles. i wanna see him with big doe eyes and the blue-eyed stare.

[lilxmoo]

Yes yes yes to all of this and also i want to draw them EXACTLY as described here now

[lilxmoo]

Could you tell me your thoughts on AIDAN from illuminae files? I’ve just finished and this stupid AI is my favourite thing ever and I can’t let it go.

I thought he was super cool and surprisingly sympathetic, but then that made me terrified of him - i felt so bad for his desperation for loneliness and did the kind of "he can do no wrong even if he's killed people" fandom thing, but when you remember that he is just. An AI. A bunch of codes and metal so attached to a seventeen year old girl. And you LIKE him. He becomes so much more terrifying and i think that's genius, especially because you have to think about him for yourself to realize why he's scary :p

[lilxmoo]

I think Kaz Brekker is more interesting when you embrace the fact that he is a disgusting person. Redemption arcs are great but redemption when you didn't think it possible is greater

[me8t]

its never going to happen the way i want but GODDD i hope lo'aks narrative ends with him free . i hope hes the one who gets away. i hope he doesnt get sucked down into being a lame ass military guy copying all the things he resents about his dad. i hope he gets what he wants and he needs and i hope he lets himself be free from the expectations he struggles under.

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

oh jesper’s incredibly farm-boy analogies you will always be famous to me (“go careening around the room like an ornery colt kicking up dust” “as wary as if kaz had told him to pet a rattler” “‘it’s like watching two bobcats circle each other.’” “he felt free, dangerous, like lightning rolling over the prairie” “a memory came to jesper, sharp as a mule kick” “the sound bounced around the blue-tiled room like a spring colt let loose in a corral” “like a stampede in his chest” “carry him along the street like a sack of grain” “jesper could sense the tension in him, coiled like a rattler”)

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

matthias helvar’s character arc is actually so fucking beautiful because he actively chooses to change his viewpoint of the world. he instinctually thinks something bad, and then stops and reminds himself to give it a second thought. he sees in hindsight how his old life was poisoning him. he wants to help others who had been in his position, even if they can’t see the poison on their own yet.

[lilxmoo]

i will always deeply adore and love him and all that he is
