SIX OF CROWS APPRECIATION WEEK | FAVORITE CROW

He’s a god, he’s a man, he’s a ghost, he’s a guru

SIX OF CROWS APPRECIATION WEEK day one: favorite crow ↳ Nina Zenik

[nelkenbabe-deactivated20211107]

“i would die for you” this, “i’d walk through fire for you that”

what about “i’d live for you” romances? what about “i never thought i’d be worth the work it would take to piece myself together”?

what about “i don’t believe i’m worth it, but for you i’ll try”

maybe i'm reading into it but people acting like darklings backstory just being "man's wife dies" is like. missing some of the point of her being a healer for their small community he's building of grisha and the way they were come after and she was killed like. it felt more the final straw of him like being fed up of bigotry against them his whole thing is building the palace so the grisha can be safe like

[greensaplinggrace]

Yeah I mean let’s not forget that he arrives at this small hut and immediately hears her talk about how the village was raided by soldiers for Grisha, and how only some escaped. Let’s not forget that they’re already talking about fleeing, how he’s worried about his mother, how they’ve clearly been hunted for ages, how these soldiers approach the home of a healer and peaceful man with weapons drawn, threatening them. How Aleksander exits that house with hands raised and says he doesn’t want to hurt anyone and then he gets shot. After exiting peacefully. How they KEEP shooting him even though he isn’t fighting back. How this entire tactic focused on instilling fear in his enemies was because he didn’t want to resort to violence, and how even after they abused him over and over he attempted to keep to it. How they found this woman he loved and they put him on his knees and they taunted him and he begged them to spare her. How they didn’t actually need to kill her - how killing her was pointless and an act fueled entirely by cruelty and prejudice and bigotry. How afterwards, as she lay dying on the ground, discarded carelessly, they continued to mock him and abuse their authority. Let’s not forget about that.

Let’s not forget about how he’s spent his entire life being hunted. How Grisha are tortured and burned at the stakes and slaughtered needlessly unless they’re kept alive to be enslaved. Let’s not forget about the decades of generational trauma and government sanctioned witch burnings and legal persecution all spearheaded by a corrupt monarchy. Let’s not forget that the Grisha aren’t fighters. That they’re peaceful. That Luda was a healer, that Aleksander’s group only ever ran. They weren’t even fighting back, they were fleeing.

Let’s not forget that even after everything, they cornered him and threatened his mother and threatened his people and told him there was nothing he could do. That this time, there was something he could actually do, and how liberating it must have felt, if only for a moment, to finally be able to fight back against his persecutors - to not be so helpless.

Aleksander lived through decades of persecution, on the run, hunted. He lived through centuries of generational trauma, watching his people caged and slaughtered and burned alive and tortured. And you’re telling me people are boiling his motivations down to one so singular, misinterpreted moment of “wife death”?!? I DONT FUCKING THINK SO.

And I hope Leigh Bardugo knows that saying “having a difficult childhood isn’t justification” reveals just how fucking ignorant she is about the issues she put in her own book. I hope she knows that I would rather shoot myself in the foot than have to hear her excuse and dismiss and belittle the situation of a persecuted minority she created ever again. I hope she knows that her Word of God means less to me now than a fucking nickel on the sidewalk.

“I didn’t know if you would come.” Kaz couldn’t blame Van Eck for that. Kaz had built that doubt in her with every cold word and small cruelty. “We’re your crew, Inej. We don’t leave our own at the mercy of merch scum.” It wasn’t the answer he wanted to give. It wasn’t the answer she wanted.                        - Crooked Kingdom, CHAPTER 12

Fan fiction is fiction. It’s not supposed to be canon. If it’s a reader insert, it’s automatically an alternate universe which means the writer can write and describe characters as they please. Stop preaching that a character isn’t written like they are in other media. If you want canon written characters read the canon written work.

[jellybeanfruit-deactivated20210]

Why do kanej shippers make it seem as if Kaz and Inej aren’t together and they’re not a couple tho?

[jellybeanfruit-deactivated20210]

@percecjackson you’re right and you should say it.

SHADOW & BONE ▸ S1E04: “Otkazat'sya”

I keep writing to you as if these words could reach you before I do. But maybe what I’m doing is rehearsing what to say to you. What I should have said much sooner … Alina, if you get this letter, know that when I told you about true north, I was talking about you. You are my true north and I can see my way to you now.
