chapter 20, six of crows

[spectrevee]

i like to imagine kuwei just gets into the habit of fucking Lurking around the tomb in the dark

it's stupid early jesper can't sleep he thinks he's the only one awake. he hears a noise, turns, and sees kuwei staring at him

everyone in the tomb was then woken up to jesper screaming obscenities because kuwei scared the shit out of him

[cowboylikeale]

this but it's inej who wishes she didn't love kaz quite so much, because she knows that no matter how deeply she cares for him, he still can't free himself from his past or believe that he deserves a future—or happiness—with her.

i might have posted abt this already but i forgot so i’ll say it again.

warning: my personal opinion ahead. you might not agree with it and i’m sorry.

one of my biggest pet peeves in the six of crows fandom is the idea that embracing his grisha abilities just cured jesper’s implied adhd. it feels like a concept made up by someone who doesn’t have adhd because it’s always so unrealistic.

while i do agree that accepting himself and being honest with others probably took a significant along of stress and anxiety off of his plate, and probably gave him something to fidget with more often, that doesn’t make it defendable in my opinion to claim that he could suddenly pay attention much better and was less energetic.

the problem with this, to me, is not only the erasure of a defining part of jesper’s character, but also the idea that adhd is a symptom that goes away. it isn’t. people like me spend a lifetime dealing with it, and while a lot of us do wish it could go away some times, it’s a part of our lives. and it’s not a factor of me hiding myself, or keeping years of pent up energy, and stopping those things wouldn’t get rid of it. it’s upsetting to see it treated like that with jesper.

whatever, i don’t think i worded that quite right, but i read a particularly frustrating fic and needed to say it.

Here are my head cannons for Wylan’s flute

My qualifications are that I’ve played flute for over 8 years and six of crows is one of my favourite books.

So Mayra mentions she loves music in the asylum so I’m saying that Wylan started very young with the piano to learn basic music theory and probably moved onto the flute around age 5 or maybe 4. Since this was before his dyslexia was apparent Van Eck would probably want to have the absolute best quality instruments for his one and only son, and might go as far as getting a indentured fabricator to create flutes and adjust them as Wylan grows.

Wylan’s main flute would be a regular concert flute with a Bb foot joint and open holed keys. Since it was fabricator made it has nearly perfect tuning no matter the temperature and humidity of the surroundings. This means that the tuning cap doesn’t need to be functional so it’s engraved and coloured to show the red laurels of the house of Van Eck. It also has a gold lip plate (one of my friends had one and we talked about six of crows so this detail is for them). Wylan also submerges his flute in the canal when his father tries to have him killed so the paper on the keys to seal the holes needs to be waterproof and still functional so I’m just calling that more fabricator work lol. Also engraved keys. And the Ab key could be a leaf of a laurel.

Since he started playing so early and his dyslexia would not be deemed a lost cause for Van Eck for a couple more years, Wylan collects the rest of the flute family from piccolo to contrabass. All of them with the same design and making as his concert flute. He had assume Van Eck had destroyed or sold them after he left but since he had to keep up the idea his son was in music school till everyone forgot he wasn’t able to get rid of any of the flutes, and Wylan got them all back at the end of Crooked Kingdom.

We already have an unusual amount of saints out of our set of main characters (thanks to Nina ofc), but Inej deserves to be one too. Where's my Sankta Inej of the Sea?

It really does make sense for her though. She's a master fighter who can move silently and captains a massive ship that saves dozens of people—someone would definitely see that as mystical at least once. The tale of the Wraith would get distorted over time, maybe carrying a captain who was blessed with the ability to move sightlessly and soundlessly, which she used to cut down anyone who dared deal in people.

It would be especially nice if she becomes a Suli saint like Sankta Marya of the Rocks, for the meaning. Then her people would never have to fear sailing or the ocean, because Sankta Inej would always be there to protect them.

might i ask for some jesper tidbits?

of course! i’m assuming you mean headcanons here, but if you want fic snippets I can do those too :)

- in my heart, modern AU jesper’s style is very playful with gender; skirts, blouses, all sorts of jewelry, and of course he LOVES glitter, sequins, and loud patterns. I like to think he wears a lot of colorful/glittery makeup as well.

- this has come up in a few of my fics, but I firmly believe that he throws his head back when he laughs (just like jordie did….)

- he is surprisingly great at random little games (ie tic tac toe, those peg-jumping boards they have at cracker barrel, etc) and would kill at those block-matching mobile games if they existed in the grishaverse

- gives me citrus vibes. I don’t know why. but I feel like he loves a good citrus

- cries the easiest out of all the crows. he’s surprisingly sentimental and easily moved to tear up by beautiful art or touching moments.

- LOOOOOVES to play with wylan’s hair and pull on the curls and watch them spring back. it’s a mindless fidget, but he could do it for hours.

- tried to teach the crows at the Slat to talk, but he only got a few of them to say a rough approximation of telling him to fuck off
