Underrated SoC duology quote of the day

Do you have a different name for killing when you wear a uniform to do it?

reading shadow and bone after reading six of crows makes matthias' arc much much more devestating. the scenes where the druskelle are trying to get alina and kill her for being grisha, i can only imagine the heartbreak and betrayal he felt. he loves nina, but he has been training to be a druskelle since he was small, so the conflicting feelings must have taunted him.

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

druskelle culture and hellgate buzzcut aside, do we think matthias would prefer long hair or short hair?

long

short

in another life matthias and nina are very happy and very in love eating waffles in their farm taking care of trassel and growing yellow tulips, not in this one tho because leigh hates me.

sad white wolf himbos and their hot sorceress wives trope is my favourite:

So, this may not be the typical iteration of this character that people would have expected, but I’d like to introduce my own version of our beloved Fjerdan, Matthias Helvar!!

Now, I’m neither 6’4” nor super hench like Calahan Skogman, so I kind of took that as the go ahead to make this version of Matthias completely my own. I was inspired by a lot of different fan art and then some specific details about druskelle taken from the books (and of course I had to fit Trassel in there too!!)

Getting to meet Freddy and Amita in this cosplay at MegaCon was so wild, and Freddy recognising it as Matthias was really really special. When I though it couldn’t get any better, I got to show Danielle pictures of the cosplay at the play she and Freddy were a part of, and she LOVED IT!! She even took photos on her phone to show to Cal!! (My friend managed to get some pictures of her reaction and it was the best thing ever!!!)

And to top it all off, Leigh Bardugo herself has now seen and liked my photos on Instagram… I don’t think I’m ever going to get over how WILD these last few days have been!

So with that being said, hope you all enjoy my Matthias as much as Leigh and the cast have :)) 🐺🤍

There is something that really confuses me about when people talk about Matthias’s hairstyle

So in the books, when Drüskelle are on their first mission, they aren’t allowed to grow out their hair. It has to stay buzzed, proven by the comment “when we get home, I’m growing my beard down to my naval” from one of the druskelle when Nina was taken captive.

They don’t have that rule in Hellgate. So it grows out.

And then he has someone (forgot who) on the ship help him cut his beard cuz the cuffs make it hard.

So I’m confused why people were dissapointed to see him with scraggly hair in Hellgate, when that’s how it’s supposed to be.
