Grishaverse on Netflix

So I’ve had some time today at work to come to terms with the fact that they are making a Six of Crows/Shadow and Bone Netflix series and these are my thoughts on it: No.

It would be one thing if it was a proper full series and it was just Six of Crows- I might hold out some hope because they’d have more than eight freaking episodes to flesh out the characters. Eight episodes for two different book series??? Especially one series that I didnt even like? I just don’t think they could do enough with that short a time frame to make anything I was satisfied with. You cant fit 5 books into eight episodes. You just cant. Unless they pull some seriously miraculous shit I don’t trust it. EDIT: I’ve been informed there may be multiple seasons. This has reduced my fear by a whopping 5%. 

I’m not all that worried about the usual things- that they will cast Nina as a skinny girl or Inej as a white girl. Leigh has held out this long and I don’t think she’d accept a Movie/TV deal unless she had enough say in it to keep things like this from happening. There are a lot of ways they could screw this up just like they screw up almost every book series ever put on screen. The one thing that my mind kept wandering to though while I was digesting the big news, was one simple thing that is a deal-breaker for me. The thing that has made me NEVER actually want this series adapted to live action is that I don’t think it’s possible to adapt Kaz Brekker to screen. Or at the very least, what a fucking daunting prospect it would be. It’s one thing to cast him (and even fandom can’t agree on a damn fancast) and another to actually write him for television without it being a disaster.

I don’t think it can be done- not without being able to hear his inner voice. Who he is as a person and who he presents to the world are VASTLY different things- that’s like the point of him. No one ever knows what he’s actually thinking or secretly planning. He’s built up a specific image of himself in order to get the things he wants. If we cant hear his inner voice, what we are going to get on screen is either just his ‘persona’ as a sarcastic heartless criminal (who says a lot of weirdly poetic shit for a 17 year old btw- I’m sure that will translate well) or they are going to overshoot and end up with a flat “edgy dark brooding antihero with a tragic backstory” stereotype. He walks such a delicate line in the books to subvert this bad trope and Leigh Bardugo is a fucking genius in how she wrote him. I don’t trust any director to manage the same feat on screen. Hes going to end up an embarrassing badboy stereotype I fucking know it and I can’t fucking handle it haha. I’m also afraid they will “soften him up” or make him angsty to make him more likable as a protagonist (and make up for this lack of inner voice- which in the books is the only reason you can empathize with him). This is a gang leader and murderer who plucks people’s eyeballs out and threatens to kill people’s families/friends/dogs to get what he wants from them on a regular basis. He’s objectively a bad person and in any other series he’d be the damn villain and I don’t want them to shy away from that and make him something he’s not. He’s not an asshole with a secret heart of gold. Villains can fall in love and make friends too and they are still horrible people. The other big fear is of course that they will end it with him and Inej kissing (because on tv and movies the love interests always kiss at the end) which would be unfathomable for kaz due to his trauma. I don’t want him to be ‘cured by the power of love’ or some shit and If they try to turn him into fucking Angel from buffy I’m gonna set my hair on fire. I trust Netflix slightly more than the usual Hollywood asshats who love nothing more than to piss all over a good book series, but I don’t trust them that much. I’ll probably wait to see what other people have to say about it when it comes out before I watch. I can’t handle another ‘golden compass’ fiasco- I’d rather pretend it doesn’t fucking exist than be let down for the millionth time.

Y'all might think I'm lying, but here's today's story.

So this kid found out he was distantly related to my friend. He took this as permission to do whatever he wanted to her and all morning was laying on her , poking her, and squeezing her legs. She didn't like it and I was starting to get pissed, so I forced him off her lap and sat on her so he couldn't anymore. Every time he tried sitting on parts of her I wasn't covering, I stuck up my foot so he would end up sitting on my boots.

He got very angry and began calling me a thot but wtf ever my foot went up his ass so I think I win.
