In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.

It is late now, I am a bit tired; the sky is irritated by stars. And I love you, I love you, I love you – and perhaps this is how the whole enormous world, shining all over, can be created – out of five vowels and three consonants.

Vladimir Nabokov, Letters to Vera

inej is such a fascinating character because in any other crow's pov she's so austere and cool. very practical and to the point and she delivers the facts, let them be good or unfavourable, ruthlessly. you can see clearly why she would be a perfect partner to kaz, why people are intimidated by her despite her small stature. and when you're in her pov, she's constantly worrying about someone, keeping her hope and humaneness alive, trying to carve out some semblance of humanity from kaz, empathising with nina and jesper and just so full of care and thoughtfulness toward her companions. like kaz, she doesn't really trust anyone, but contrary to kaz, she wants to. she wants to trust and wants to believe and that is why she is such a powerful beacon of hope in the midst of the barrel filth. she serves as a reminder to kaz that you can choose differently. horrible things can happen to you but you don't have to become the monster to overcome your trauma

what is life if not the connections you make along the way? you waved at the dog you met on the street, now his face lights up everytime he sees you. you once looked at the moon and said i love you, now you look at the sky each night in search of him. life really is just that simple.

that scene in cornelis smeet’s office? in crooked kingdom? when wylan gets frustrated and tells kaz that he’s slowing him down, and kaz replies that he knew exactly how long it would take? kaz accommodates wylan’s disability, he makes sure that wylan can use his knowledge and skills as much as possible, and when he can’t, kaz makes sure they can work around it.

i just CANNOT get over the scene in ck when kaz and inej talk before kaz goes back to the slat to face the dregs. inej wants to come with him and he literally tells her that she can‘t: “They’ll be looking for any sign of weakness, Wraith.”

BECAUSE SHE IS HIS WEAKNESS. kaz brekker, who has built his whole image around caring about nothing but money, admitted inej is his weakness. like he might as well have told her he loves her.

No, you dont understand. She's been under scrutiny, he handle it beautifully. They were bringing up her history, he didnt even listen. He would break his back to make her break a smile. She thought the plain was going down, he turned it right around. All he ever wanted from her was sweet nothing. On the way home, she wrote a poem, he said "what a mind"; this happens all the time. All he did was smile, 'cause he knew she was a mastermind the entire time.
