SOC SPOILERS

I’ve taken knives, bullets, and too many punches to count, all for a little piece of this town. This is the city I bled for. And if Ketterdam has taught me anything, it’s that you can always bleed a little more. (Merry Christmas @romildas!)

ook so what counts as infantilizing wylan? could u give examples please lol. Like is referring to wylan as “my baby” infantilism be cause I literally refer to all characters as my babies 💀

I’m very suspicious of people who call Wylan their baby or their son because, in my experience, those tend to be the people babying him. It’s really weird because he’s the only character that is consistently treated like a child in the fandom.

Mostly in that post I was talking about people treating Wylan like their “innocent uwu gay baby.” Acting like he is unflawed, acting like he is innocent and pure despite the fact that his actual personality in the books is much different. (Yes, at the beginning of Six of Crows, a lot of what we see comes off as very childish. But even by the end of that book we learn more about his personality and capabilities.) Wylan isn’t like that at all, he’s intelligent, he’s insecure about himself, he’s filled with a lot of righteous anger, and he’s even a bit chaotic or violent at times. Not only does making him this innocent childish character not sit right with me, it throws away all of his character development in canon.

In short: Just follow his canon personality.

Kaz is such a fucking SOFTIE deep down, it cracks me up every time. “My mother is the harbor, my father is greed” and then turns around to make sure the flowers they use in their escape are Inej’s favorites. Gets Jesper’s guns back for him even though he doesn’t have to. Allows and in fact encourages Nina to embrace her new powers. Goes out of his way to mentor Wylan. Asks Matthias to keep Mrs. Van Eck calm and comfortable even though it would’ve been easier to torture her. Essentially said he *missed* Jesper. Like??? What a soft little murderous gangster.

everyone say thank you leigh bardugo for keeping kaz and nikolai’s friendship alive

Summary: post-Crooked Kingdom. // Kaz Brekker is the King of the Barrel, with nothing and no one standing in his way. He has it all. But he soon realizes that “all” is not quite enough when he thinks he might loose Inej forever.

A/N: It’s finally here! Ngl, I struggled a LOT with this fic, specially with Kaz’s pov. I wanted these characters to stay true to the books, so it took me a very long time to perfect this. All the lovely people who wanted to be tagged will be at the end. I want to thank you all so, so much for your support and enthusiasm. It makes the struggle worth it. Thank you, thank you thank you. Also, this one-shot was inspired by the song Take on the World by You Me At Six. It has Kanej written all over it.

Finally, let me apologize for this being RIDICULOUSLY long. Some of you already know I have no control over this, it’s useless for me to try and cut down on the writing - it ain’t gonna happen. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this! Comments are always appreciated, I respond to every single one!

Happy reading, lovelies! <3

Kaz

               She was leaving today.

               Inej hadn’t explicitly told him so. But Kaz knew – he felt it in his bones, in his veins, in his very heartbeat. He’d known there would be a day when he would have to fight through the tangled knots she’d skilfully, yet unconsciously, formed around his heart and let go of his selfishness, of his desire, so as to finally untie her from his life once and for all.

               He just didn’t think it’d have to happen that fast. That soon.

               There was still that part of him – that foolish, miserable, pathetic, hopeful part that longed to consider the possibility of Inej staying permanently in Ketterdam. With him.

               He had thought that she would, briefly.

               He had let himself hope, stupidly.

But wasn’t that what every girl dreamed? That she’d wake and find herself a princess? Or blessed with magical powers and a grand destiny? Maybe there were people who lived those lives. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary.

That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.

“Go little rockstar” but it’s aditi watching Jesper overcome his addiction and find peace within himself

*taps microphone*

Inej Ghafa is actually a very morally grey character and failure to understand this proves that you don’t know what morally grey means
