a dynamic that i think we don’t acknowledge enough is the fact that wylan canonically gets jealous/possessive of jesper. like. wylan didn’t hate kuwei because he was kuwei, he hated kuwei because he was flirting with jesper. he’s a possessive little bitch and jesper doesn’t seem to have any complaints

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.

"I can't send you to seminary because you can't read" is an actual, canonical thing Jan Van Eck has said to his son, and it is NEVER talked about enough.

In Shadow and Bone season 2 ep 6 when they fight the Sankta Neyar and she is manipulating the metal in all of their blood, Wylan is the only one still standing up. Everyone else is in the floor and trying not to scream. Wylan is standing and cradling one of his wrists while it shakes and is only giving shakey breathes but not crying out in pain.

What I got from this is:

That boy is anemic as fuck

Neyar viewed him as less if a threat

There is metal in his hand which is why his pain was centred around it, likely because of the abuse

He has his book accurate insane pain tolerance (the auction scene and the torture is mental and the fact that he did that willingly and made it worse for himself to be "convincing" is batshit)

sometimes, family is a convict with a thirst for revenge, a sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager, a runaway with a privileged past, a spy known as the Wraith, a Heartrender using her magic to survive the slams and a thief with a gift for unlikely escapes

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

[spectrevee]

sometimes he doesn't even mean to he just spouts a white lie completely naturally and wasn't even intending to do it

[avvilo]

book one wylan is so fun because we never know his inner thoughts and he’s kinda unhinged. swings wildly between “kaz don’t kill that guy” and “we could wake them.” sings once. looks shocked when the bombs he made work. flirts. truly unreadable from an outside perspective.

and then you get book two wylan and you realize that every decision he’s made is entirely spur-of-the-moment and panicked and he exists in a constant state of fear and it’s like oh. yeah that makes sense

failed experiment

[gabeofcrows]

im so obsessed with the idea that kaz just reads everything for wylan, but in such a natural way that everyone forgets that it's because wylan can't read, and kaz kind of forgets that everyone else can read

kaz bringing in the newspaper saying 'look at this', slamming the paper down on the table for for everyone to see and announces the headline 'pekka rollins shits himself in the harbour'. it's just instinctual to read it out, even though everyone else at the table can read what it says

kaz going to restaurants with the crows and handing wylan a menu saying 'they've got that herb chicken you like'. then he scans it again and points to a couple of things that he also knows wylan likes, and it's so causal and conversational and wylan doesn't feel scrutinised, or as though he's being looked after

(kaz also starts point out things the others like before remembering that they can read the menu and then just stops talking)

kaz and wylan going to coffee shops and kaz goes 'what do you think you're gonna get' before they get there so that wylan doesn't panic inside the shop. and he doesn't leave room for wyan to ask him to read things out, because kaz knows he hates doing that. so they go and kaz just says 'you want syrup in your coffee? they've got vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut'

and it's just so easy and instinctual. it makes wylan feel normal, because being read to isnt a big part of what's going on. kaz just manages to easily slip it into conversation without thinking, as though he does it with everyone

(now imagine wylan isn't there and kaz begrudgingly gets waffles with another member of the dregs (he's getting soft) and immediately goes 'what sort of syrup do you like? because they've got apple, strawberry or chocolate, but it does say you can get a mix' and the dreg is like 'i know? the menu is right in front of me?' and kaz just kind of realises that he doesn't even think about doing it anymore)

(also imagine him getting a letter and some of the higher ranked dregs need to know about it, and instead of just giving them it to read, kaz starts just reading it out, and all of the other dregs are like 'isn't it easier is we just read it ourselves?' and kaz just pauses and wonders when he actually started hanging out with wylan so much that he's the only person he knows how to talk to)

[e-102]

[jame7t]

dead tired today so I grabbed a coffee from the gas station & the guy greeted me by trying to say “is that everything “ but fumbled and said “e ga thebythin” and me trying to say “yeah” or “yup” just went “YIP!” in response. No survivors
