fat birdies rule Ravka

We're actually two weirdos who might like reading more than reality. Especially Six of Crows.

On May 17, 2019, the Internet celebrity Grumpy Cat, also known as Tardar Sauce, passed away from an urinary tract infection. She lived from 2012-2019, a span of only seven years, yet managed to reach the hearts of millions with her trademark face of resting contempt. 

Thank you, Tardar Sauce. Thank you for giving us the chance to laugh. Thank you for everything. You will always be a part of us. We wish you a peaceful journey beyond that rainbow bridge, and ease at heart for the loving family you left behind.

Stadwatch: Kaz Brekker, you’re under arrest

Kaz: *pulls out a get out of jail free card* I think not

Stadwatch: That’s…from Monopoly. This is Ketterdam

Kaz: If you can’t beat the odds, change the game

I will bet you a bagful of polished gold coins that “scheming face” is actually “I forgot what the fuck I was talking about but I need to uphold my reputation so I am going to frown and squint my eyes a little face”

There are adults commenting that adult/minor, incestuous, and pedophilic ships don’t hurt anyone in the real world, meanwhile I have about thirty asks right now from kids relieved to see everyone in the notes being vocally against this content because they’ve so often been made to feel unsafe by adults in fandom who support that content online so I think that about wraps up that argument. It does affect children, and you should be ashamed, and you can happily unfollow me, thank you.

[whitewolf-roamsketterdam]

These adults really need to rethink how they have lived their past 18+ years because if these things are not okay in reality, what makes you think that these things are fine in fandoms? Especially when an author doesn't want these ships happening and those perverts decide to say that they are perfectly fine

@sixofcrowsnet heist: crimes breaking into the ice court

the ice court had been built to withstand an onslaught of armies, assassins, grisha, and spies. when she’d said as much to kaz, he’d simply replied,  “but it hasn’t been built to keep us out.”

The caption... I die of laughter

[scratchedcd]

you can say whatever you want about kaz brekker, but he would NEVER get along with the darkling. my boy respects women. mister i-want-to-control-alina has nothing on him

[whitewolf-roamsketterdam]

I agree with this entirely.

[mydarlinginej]

who would speak for liliyana, for genya and alina and baghra if she did not? who will speak for me?

[chillichocolate25]

Zoya calling out bullshit on darkling and other men was everything.

I listened to the audiobook and her “Why do they love him?’ abt darkling was spoken with such emotion, it made me so damn angry.

[whitewolf-roamsketterdam]

This was heartbreaking. Zoya is someone who has been a victim of the Darkling. She knows his manipulation, his lies, his poisonous ambition and his absolute apathy. Reading this part of King of Scars really highlights the abuser the Darkling really was, and how we need his victims' stories to be told.

[lovejoyslibrary]

People who call The Darkling abusive and then point to Malina as an example of a healthy relationship are so full of BS

[zoya-of-the-garden]

I mean maybe but at least Mal didn’t kill anyone In order to isolate Alina and control her power. 🙃🙃 But I guess making someone sad is just as bad or whatever ☕️

[lovejoyslibrary]

Sure, the Darkling was toxic in a typical YA-fantasy-villain type way, but Mal displayed a lot of abusive behaviors that occur in actual real life relationships. I will get back to you on this once I’ve reread the Grisha trilogy (because it’s been a while since I read it and I want to give you fresh, accurate information) so look forward to that ;)

[chillichocolate25]

I@lovejoyslibrary THIS People always say that Mal was just being a regular teenage guy and that the Darkling was the abusive one. The Darkling WAS abusive there is no doubt abt that but it doesn’t mean we have to overlook Mal’s behaviour. We have all seen guys like Mal in our life, who will ignore or avoid their gf, so they can hangout with their friends or whatever. But the moment their gf get friends or just life outside of them, they will whine and bitch that “You have changed, I like the old you. Success has made you a different person”

Unhealthy relationships are not always about physical violence or someone controlling you for powers as in the Darkling’s case. These little things like constantly judging you, putting you down, seeing your success as negative are more common and women and young girls deal more often than the first case.

Yeah, Mal is a regular teenage douchbag, who should be called out cos teenage girls deserves MORE.

[chillichocolate25]

Loved how meta Leigh Bardugo went in KOS:

Starless Saints and his cult followers definitely remind me of the the Darkling fangirls on tumblr. Hoping for his resurrection, rationalizing his actions and romanticizing him. I can’t believe after reading the whole book, the only thing some people are excited about is his return. Did they skip over the parts where he was being righteously criticized?

Zoya believing she won’t ever be accepted by Ravkans as their queen because of her personality and who she is. Her being the raven-haired witch that is all storm and lightning. Same thing with the fandom still seeing her as the bitchy, mean girl she was introduced as in the first book. Not deserving of Nikolai’s love because she doesn’t fit in the acceptable mold they have created in their mind.

[whitewolf-roamsketterdam]

These are both really good points, in-depth and beautifully written. I love this.
