in my heart of hearts i believe wylan is both left and right handed specifically because when he was being (rather aggressively) taught to write, Van Eck and his tutors were like 'fucking hell i don't know try with your other hand maybe that will work' and basically just throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping something would stick (it didn't).

anyway it came in handy when he was too injured (van eck again) to draw or write out equations because he realised he could just swap hands whenever he needed to. I dont know, this is just fun to me.

just interacted with neutotypical people. what the fuck is wrong with them

what do you mean wylan asked kuwei to help him make the weevil and we DIDN’T get to see them bickering in the lab together??

you’re telling me NOTHING significant enough to show in-scene happened there + they didn’t gain a new understanding of each other’s povs even though working together with dangerous chemicals basically demands workable communication + cooperation?

you’re telling me they weren’t taking shots at each other’s daddy issues + privileges until quietly realizing they understand each other more than they thought (i mean they’re wearing the same face for saint’s sake) and begrudgingly realizing it’s kind of nice having someone their age with a similar skillset?

you’re telling me kuwei wasn’t secretly relieved wylan didn’t have pages upon pages of notes written in kerch, a language that uses a different script than he’s used to reading? that wylan wasn’t happy that both of them stumble over the kerch word for a chemical from time to time? that they weren’t both pushing back on each other’s ideas but it was clear they both respected when the other was genuinely correct about the chemistry? that they weren’t both a little comforted by the presence of someone else who doesn’t quite feel like they belong to the barrel + the life they’ve been forced into?

dominant wylan because wylan craves control and needs to know what's happening next and submissive jesper because holy shit he craves the surprises and the excitement of never knowing what's going to happen next

all of the crows probably have pretty high pain tolerances. kaz developed it through street fights where he ignored and pushed past the pain to prove a point, and then even more so after his injury. inej likely also dealt with several injuries as a child training in acrobatics, and I imagine jespers experience was similar, although he simply got up to all kinds of trouble rather than having a specific cause.

nina and Matthias were both training to be soldiers as a young age, which likely meant hard training, and wylan suffered abuse his whole life. all of these children, these teenagers, I imagine went through staggering amounts of pain and would genuinely horrify full grown adults in fights (or torture situations, as with wylan) with how much they could go through and stay on their feet

wylan van eck finally achieving a healthy weight for the first time ever once hes away from his father, has money, and in a healthy relationship

[victorian-ghost-bones]

wylan was living in the van eck mansion when kaz and inej stole the dekappel. this leaves the greatest opportunities for them to have met, or for wylan to have heard the crows talking about that heist and have the funniest realization

[seen-the-stars]

we as a community of fic writers are not nearly doing enough damage with the fact that wylan was raised religious and subjected to exorcisms and surely called a disappointment to the god of trade that he couldn't worship because of his 'defect'. where is the religious trauma in wylan. why aren't we doing anything with that.

wylan van eck greying young. wylan van eck with nerve damage in his hands. wylan van eck with burn and chemical scars. wylan van eck with perfect pitch. wylan van eck having genya tailor him so that he looks a little less like his father and a little more like his mother. wylan van eck with crooked fingers from the abuse he suffered as a child. wylan van eck wearing soft fabrics and loose fits whenever he can so he feels less like a mercher (less like his father) and because the suit material irritates his skin. wylan van eck proposing to jesper before jesper gets the chance to propose to him. wylan van eck babysitting his half-sibling whenever alys needs a break.

Alys Van Eck is the epitome of ‘she should be at the club’ to me

She should be on a stage at a karaoke bar, white girl wasted and absolutely butchering Celine Dion’s entire discography. It’s what she deserves.

we need to lean more into the fact that wylan is a freakishly good liar. not only does he commit 100% to the bit, but he's been lying constantly since he was a child, and he does it without reservations, even to kaz brekker. think of the implications for heists. maybe he can't flirt with everyone like jesper and Nina, but this man can lie flawlessly on the spot without a second thought

[victorian-ghost-bones]

jesper fahey is loud and energetic and overwhelming for the same reason wylan is quiet and reserved. because they were both taught to hide essential parts of who they were, they just go about it in different ways

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

headcanon that wylan can identify each of the crows by their footsteps alone

[victorian-ghost-bones]

as someone raised in a strict household who can identify everyone by their steps, I second this. and I would also like to add that wylan is an extremely light sleeper who wakes up at a single footstep. it is immensely helpful on heists and kaz absolutely takes advantage of it when he finds out

[victorian-ghost-bones]

I am greatly comforted by the fact that whenever im feeling dysphoric I can just randomly chop at my hair until I feel better
