Hey! Just a quick housekeeping thing—the digital download site I originally put the SoC comic chapter PDFs on now has policies that aren't so great, so I'm now putting the comics in my ko-fi shop!

(Honestly should've done that from the get-go, but you know what they say about hindsight...)

Just like before, they are completely FREE to download and read at your leisure. I will eventually be deleting the comics from gumroad, but that'll only be after I update every link on here, which'll definitely take a while.

Just wanted to let you all know in case you went to redownload the comics and saw that the links were busted. They're on ko-fi now, and that's where they'll stay (for the foreseeable future)

Thanks for reading my comics! Hope you all are doing well :)

Nice film love it

[angst-is-a-genre]

i feel like sometimes people make the crows seem so much older than they are, especially wylan and jes but really all of them.

fyi kaz breaker is fucking seventeen

jesper is seventeen

inej is sixteen

although wylan says he's sixteen, matthias says something along the lines of "yeah that bitch is not sixteen" so i've always thought of him as fifteen

nina is probably seventeen/eighteen, though it isn't explicitly mentioned, and we know matthias is older than her and he's eighteen

matthias is eighteen and will forever be eighteen (sorryyyyy)

i guess the rewrite might have something to do with this but like lets think

to put it into perspective based on today's day:

kaz brekker is a kid. in today's day and age, he'd be A SENIOR IN HIGHSCHOOL???

wylan hendriks cant drive without a twenty-one year old in the car and GUESS WHAT????? THERE ARENT ANY IN THE CROWS!!

inej ghafa was forced to sell her body before she could legally consent in most places

JESPER FAHEY CAN'T OWN A GUN! NOR CAN HE GAMBLE! wait till they find out thats all he does

matthias helvar is just barley old enough to enlist in the military

nina zenik wouldn't be able to VOTE

and despite this wylan controls the legal flow of money in ketterdam after ck, kaz brekker controls part of the not-so-legal flow of money/indentures, inej ghafa is out there captaining a ship and hunting fucking slaving ships, and nina zenik is one of the most powerful soldiers in ravka, jesper fahey....well jesper loves his boyfriend very much (and apparently is involved in the stock market?) (also he can read to him) (he has a very soothing baritone)

oh also matthias is dead so there's that

so yeah they're kids. which makes the whole book sadder/more disturbing especially matthias and inej's storylines

Sorry to everyone who’s enjoyed the last 130 years of science and culture journalism, but Disney needs the money to fund Toy Story 9

The slow death of interesting things for the sake of unceasing cancerous growth and ephemeral content.

[twiggyart6]

so I might have started these on a whim four days ago and havnt done anything else but work on them...

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

i wanna see unsettling jesper fahey (jesper who moves disjointedly, like a puppet with the strings cut, appearing clumsy and carefree, yet he never trips or runs into anything or missteps whatsoever) (jesper who makes people around him a bit too comfortable, to the point where they tell him things they would never tell any other stranger) (jesper who’s eyes seem to change color to match the closest metal object) (jesper who at times smiles with slightly too many teeth and eyes slightly too wide) (jesper who’s voice rumbles just a bit too deeply and seems to resonate with the metal around him) (jesper who moves faster than people can react, whether he’s pouncing or fidgeting or drawing weapons)

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

the crows are (lovingly) bullying jesper and jesper goes “so we’re just shaming people now, is that it?” and wylan kind of absentmindedly goes “i know for a fact you like being shamed, jes” and then everybody loses their shit whilst jesper stands there visibly flustered that’s it that’s the scene

[sketchingsnakes]

Look at these cuties! This picture was taken immediately after they got caught kissing. :

Is it too early to make halloween fan art? No... right?

[punkrorschach]

[punkrorschach]

this post was inspired by my boss telling me she couldnt "take me seriously" in a pair of dinosaur print overalls. sorry i have two degrees and a dope wardrobe. you dont need to take me seriously but You Will Take Me.

[black-quadrant]

OP's an inspiration. bring on the whimsy movement!

[nealashitposts]

So I was very briefly a flagger, you know those people who hold the stop signs at the beginning of construction sites to coordinate traffic through dangerous areas? That was me. We're required to wear highly visible vests and in some cases depending on the area high visibility pants as well. In my state neon pink was allowed for safety gear and I wore it every single day but I never meant a single Foreman who didn't try to tell me it wasn't allowed. But here's the thing everybody when you're a human person standing at the beginning of the construction site in a state that's famous for its constant rain and dreary weather, yellow or orange high-vis gear is it the same color as all the orange and yellow high visibility equipment immediately behind you . Traffic cones, signs, big pieces of machinery, barricades it's all orange and yellow. So you as a human person blend into your background which is the opposite of what you want because people drive more carefully when they can see human people in front of them instead of a bunch of stuff. I grant that it does not feel like they drive more safely. But they do.

You know what color you can't find on any of the signs and safety gear behind me? Bright fucking pink. So I had to keep a copy of the fucking law with me at all times and show it to Foreman all the time. Every time I went to a new construction site, I'd have the samw argument. And even though I was only a flagger for a year I never even had a close call with traffic because I stood out as a human shaped thing in front of all the construction. Which is unusual. Flaggers have close calls and get clipped by or just flat out hit by cars all the time. This was a case where wearing pink actually made me safer and better at the job I was supposed to be doing but they still fucking hated it.

I had male colleagues who frequently wore camouflage under their High VIs vests. In Washington state where you are frequently standing in front of construction equipment and a backdrop of evergreen trees in no form in ever had a problem with that.

Help there's even substantial research in this area proving that bright pink is the safest color you could wear. Why is it for debate. It's probably a combination of the fact that it doesn't blend into nature or the construction equipment behind you, but it might also play on people's sexist nature to be more gentle and careful around women otherwise if it keeps me from getting hit by a fucking car I truly do not give a shit.

i was drafting a post that said “a single boba tea can replace up to two meals if you are pure of heart” and the reason i didn’t post it is because as i was typing those words i got so dizzy i felt like i was being abducted by aliens

if kaz brekker and rogue(from x-men) meet

Rogue: So I can never touch people, 'cause my skin takes away their life force and powers. Touching me could kill them!:( Like my first kiss ended with that boy in a coma :(

Kaz: dam, can I use this for OC(Dirtyhands) lore?

[belovedgamers]

The BEST trope is when a character tells another “let’s run away together, we can leave all of this behind and start a new life somewhere” and gets rejected. And then the rest of the tragedy unfolds

I know she's one of the Crows, and that Suli people are represented by jackals, and that in the books she has been referred to as a lynx and then as a spider, but can I be honest?

I don't think I've seen a more barn owl coded character than Inej Ghafa
