[wraith--2]

Just realised that whenever Kaz is thinking about Inej and is like he liked this thing about her "for some reason" etc he actually has a valid reason for being clueless. He literally grew up on the outskirts of Lij which is already a small village but no he was even more isolated and for all we know probs only really socialised with his dad and Jordie. Kazs mum died when he was super young so he probably can't remember her and specifically his parents interacting. Meaning Kaz has never seen or understood what it's like when two people are in love. Like sure Kazs dad could have told him about his mum but that doesn't really help plus his dad was probably too sad to talk about her. So he literally only had his dad and jordie and he loses both of them when he is NINE. When he's older he probably doesn't want to rememeber those memories so even if his dad did used to talk about his mum he'll forget it. Then he grows up in Ketterdam in a gang were the majority of people aren't in love they're just paying for sex. Like Kaz has never actually seen anyone be in love no wonder he can't recognise it when he himself is in love.

Thank you for listening to my rant :)

[she-posts-nerdy-stuff]

There’s an alternate universe where Kaz has very different coping mechanisms and just blurts out his life story in random nonsensical bursts like Phoebe in Friends, and I’m imagining it looking something like this

Kaz: Give him a break, it’s hard being on your own for the first time

Wylan: Thank you

Kaz, cheerily: I remember when I first came to the Barrel. I was nine; my father was dead and we’d just been conned out of all our money, and I ended up living behind a bunch of old of crates for a while with my brother before we caught the Queens Lady Plague and he died, and then I joined the Dregs and found these guys - so I totally get what you’re going through

Wylan: 😯😧😨

Jesper: the word you’re looking for is… anyway,

I want a story about an Italian vampire.

No romance, no action.

Just 200 pages of “What do you mean, I can’t have garlic? Do you know where I’m from?”

[absinthenoir-deactivated2019090]

TBH I think the main issue would be the mirror thing

have you ever met an Italian man

the amount of time they spend looking in the mirror jfc

[wunderlass]

#the more you think about it the more all vampire rules are just anti-italian rules#can’t go out in sunlight?? IN ITALY???#Can’t go near crucifixes? IN ITALY???

[princezane-deactivated20151205]

a bunch of pissed off vampires stuck in Venice because they can’t go over moving water

[theresoneofyou]

Not to victim blame, but you’d have to be a pretty bad Italian to even get turned into a vampire in the first place.

[hey-there-nutlet-deactivated201]

the only two places practically immune to vampires are texas and italy

[darkestelemental616]

Let me tell you of A Thing.

Lithuania has no vampires, I guarantee it.

[stephendann]

Lithuania has one vampire, and let me tell you, she’s gonna be FURY UNLEASHED once someone gets her out of the centre of that crossterfuck of a burial point.

I want an AU where the crows go to a boarding school together Kaz would be the kid you go to for cigarettes and alcohol Inej would be the kid that knows everything about everyone Jesper would throw the best parties Wylan would tutor for cheap Matthias would be on the student discipline committee and Nina would be the girl everyone low key has a crush on

This is probably not what you wanted, I’m sorry and this took way too long I’ve been reading shades or magic xD.

·         Kaz is absolutely the one you could go to for contraband, test answers, or any hot gossip Inej has picked up and fed back to him.

·        But you wouldn’t know that at first glance because he’s a total teacher’s pet, on excellent terms with all the staff.

·        He even calls his teachers by their first nameand comes in before and after class to help them out.

·        Which makes it conveniently not suspicious to see him hanging around their classrooms long after others have departed, evenwhen he’s picking the lock to slip in and steal answer sheets for tests.

·        Not to mention he dresses like he’s a damned lawyer.

·        He also blackmails principal Van eck, and vice principal Rollins.

·        Inej of course is his accomplice and closest thing to a friend (a little more than that but he’d never admit it)

·        She’s from Ravka and not very familiar with writing Kerch so he offers to be her tutor when she transfers to the school halfway through grade 9.

·        She has an excellent skill for listening to conversations while going completely unnoticed since she’s small and silent, and when that fails a calming demeanor that makes people want to confide in her.

·        Inej is there on scholarship and has a deathly fear of failing and dropping out so she ends up working with Kaz, and soon she’s caught up in a complicated web of lies and secrets and a bit of feelings too.

·        It’s not until grade 10 when Nina shows up, she’s preppy, flirty, and the champion dress code breaker.

·        Kaz, Inej and Jesper help her out when she’s being sexually harassed by one of the teachers who’s threatening to fail her.

·        They make sure he gets fired.

·        She kind of get’s pulled in after that, she owes them big time, and her and Inej are inseparable.

·        They end up sharing a dorm, and when they don’t have late nights out breaking the rules these two just get to do girly shit and braid each other’s hair.

·        Jesper is attending for his father, who spent an outrageous amount of money because he wants him to do well, and really believes that he will.

·        But a classroom is not Jesper’s place, it never had been.

·        Jesper just had Kaz to help him out and make him a better cheater.

·        The two boys had been well, ‘friends’ isn’t what Kaz would have called it since middle school, but Jesper had been desperately tryingto earn something more than the title of ‘acquaintance’ or ‘associate’, even ‘client’as Kaz had called him once.

·        They were always getting into trouble and breaking rules, but Kaz had gotten well he wanted to say better but the truth was he had gotten a lot worse, he was just better at hiding it.

·        Jesper feels guilty, but doing illegal and dangerous things always had a certain appeal, it got them good grades, and sometimes even money.

·        So he’d stopped questioning himself when he went out with Kaz to tag buildings, and had to wear gloves to hide the paint stains on his hands.

·        But things started to change when a new student transferred during grade 11, an anxious boy with strawberry blond curls who’d spilled his textbooks and pen’s in the hall on his first day.

·        Who’d blushed when Jesper had offered to help him pick them up, who had a gift for math and chemistry.

·        Wylan van eck, or as he’d first introduced himself, Wylan Hendriks, he didn’t want anyone to know he was the Principal’s son.

·        But he had some hidden talents, and Jesper had been shocked to see him in the library with Kaz, the two of them hunched over a computer.

·        The little ray of sunshine wasn’t quite so innocent as he seemed, Wylan had a way with technology, hacking it to be exact.

·        Kaz had been grinning like an idiot, and he’dsaid almost in disbelief, “this kid just got us Rollins’s email.”

·        From then on Wylan had been a member of their little team.

·        Last to arrive of course was Matthias, and needless to say Nina had been shocked, she had a brief fling with him at a summer camp before school had started but she had certainly not been expecting him to show up here.

·        But the proper, stubborn, resilient, blond she’d been unable to decided whether she loved or hated was now at her school.

·        No surprise to someone who knew him better, he’d landed a place on scholarship since he was incredibly studious.

·        His transfer had marked an important time when everything had started to go to hell for their little gang.

To be continued?

Thanks for the ask dearest anon!

On the Kanej Height Difference

Kaz is 6′ and Inej is 4′11′ maybe 5′1″. So smol and tol ship obviously. 

Kaz actually complains about being short and Inej can not take him seriously 

She literally has to look up to scold him and it’s hard to be intimidating when you’re looking up at somone, but she manages because well she’s the wraith. 

He tries to do that thing where he holds something out of her reach but she just tackles him to the ground.

Even worse he keeps getting taller for like another 7 years and whenever Inej comes back from a long voyage she can tell and it pisses her off 

“Can you stop that!”

“What?”

“You keep getting taller its not fair”

Drunk Kaz tries to be dramatic and romantic and sweep her off her feet but she just scolds him because “Its bad for your leg Kaz”

He’s too plastered to care.

But like he’s a weak bitch and the only reason he can actually pick Inej up is because she’s so damn small.

He will absofuckinglutley hug her and rest his chin on the top of her head because its adorable but it bothers her.

Kissing (when they get to that point) is a nuisance because Inej has to like yank him down by his collar

Or she makes a habit out of sneaking into his office to wait for him and sitting on the desk so they’re at a more convenient angle for kissing

And if we’re gonna get a bit racy here she might just jump on him idk what’ll happen

Inej would rather die than ask Kaz to reach something for her and will climb on top of cabinets rather than ask the boy standing next to her for assistance.

[krugerevengeinej]

Height hcs for the crows?

Okay I’ll first rank them from tallest to shortest just in general.

Jesper, Matthias, Kaz, Nina, Wylan, Inej

I would put Jesper at about 6′4″ max he’s pretty tall but also very lanky, he’s a pretzel stick boi.

Matthias 6″2′ just slightly shorter, but probably much broader. He’s ex military so probably pretty boxy, broad shoulders etc. 

Kaz 6′ and also very lean. This is probably kinda short or averageish for a Kerch guy and low key pisses him off (I made a whole thing about this awhile ago but I have to make another post about Kanej’s height difference so I’ll address it there) But boys generally don’t stop growing till like 25 so all of the crow dudes will get taller.

Nina is 5′11″ so pretty tall and obviously very thiccc  we all know this.

Wylan is 5′9″ but is also behind in puberty so he’s got some growing to do. He’s got a lil merch pudge and no one can convince me otherwise.

Inej is 4′11″ maybe like 5′1″ at the tallest. Acrobats are usually short and very have good centers of balance.

[krugerevengeinej]

Soc head canon

I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before. What if Kaz can play the violin? Maybe he learned to play it when he was younger, before Jordie died. His parents made him practice all the time and he got annoyed but he was actually very good at it. It’s why he had such a gift for card tricks since he was already inclined to using his hands.

None of the dregs have any idea, he’s never said anything about music, but they have to work a job at some merchants party, and Kaz says they’ll pose as members of the entertainment. He says that he and Wylan will be band members since they can play instruments. They’re all just so confused because Kaz Brekker does not do music. 

They don’t believe him at first, and ask him what he plays and he says, “Violin, It has been a few years though I’ll need to practice.”

The dregs are all still skeptical but he finds one to practice with. He’s a bit rusty at first, but they’re surprised because he’s actually incredible at it. No one dares disturb him because he’s so incredibly focused. But when he stops they all look at him in complete disbelief.

 “When the hell did you learn how to do that?” Nina asks. He just shrugs unwilling to give a proper answer.

Rhysand Our Hero

“I have known many High Lords,” Amren continued, studying her paper. “Cruel ones, cunning ones, weak ones, powerful ones. But never one that dreamed. Not as he does.” “Dreams of what?” I breathed. “Of peace. Of freedom. Of a world united, a world thriving. Of something better—for all of us.” “He thinks he’ll be remembered as the villain in the story.” She snorted. “But I forgot to tell him,” I said quietly, opening the door, “that the villain is usually the person who locks up the maiden and throws away the key.”

“Oh?” I shrugged. “He was the one who let me out.“

A Court of Mist and Fury

Guys, this is the kind of stuff I love in books. Soak it up, take it home. Don’t be with someone who locks you up, who doesn’t believe in you, who tries to control you. Tamlin messed up–he loved Feyre, yes, but he loved her wrong. He was selfish and abusive and we have to see those warning signs.

Rhys is not perfect, but he believed in Feyre. He gave her space, he let her grow, and he let her be exactly who she was. He didn’t try to protect her from the world, he encouraged her to go out into it all the while helping to prepare her for whatever may be thrown her way by training her.

Wow. Let’s reset our standards. If we stop letting our significant others treat us poorly, then it won’t work anymore–and one person at a time we can stand against the casual acceptance of abuse that is tearing people apart everywhere.

Ok, rant over–back to the lighter things.

For anyone who argues that Chaol is not the most relatable character, during the entire duration of Tower of Dawn, I, too, wondered what Dorian was up to.

Friendly reminder that Thorne is older than Jacin.

And when Thorne somehow finds out he totally makes the "I'm older" jokes and Jacin is not amused
