here's a list of Shit Abled Six Of Crows Fans Do that i feel like bitching about this morning
cast Kaz in a dad role. literally what. he is not capable of being a father figure to someone two years younger, u just see him as ~OLDER and WISER~ because he's deeply traumatized (and a cane user)
cast Wylan in a son role. LITERALLY WHAT. he is again, maximum TWO YEARS YOUNGER. him being dyslexic does not make him a baby, him being autistic coded does not make him a baby, hell him just being like nervous and quiet after trauma does not make him a fucking baby
"wylan van sunshine" bullshit. you understand that was an IRONIC NICKNAME said in the books right??? right??? he is not a sunshiney optimistic naive little kid. he knows less about a life of crime than the other crows, sure, but he also builds bombs and suggests ruthless murder. hell, he had the guts to lie to kaz brekker. you literally just want to infantilize a disabled person. stop it.
use the word "cripple" wrt kaz, ever. yes, bardugo wrote that in. BARDUGO IS DISABLED. if you are a physically abled person, you have no business and no need using that fucking word in your foics, headcanons, posts, whatever. IT'S A SLUR. IT'S A FUCKING SLUR. CAN YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEADS.
erasing kaz's disabilities in fics. whether it's his cane or his trauma, it's fucking shitty. take it from a traumatized disabled person: we are not the same people without these. they affect every aspect of our lives. if you write non-traumatized or non-physically disabled kaz brekker, you are not actually writing kaz brekker.
