Head canon: Kaz is excellent at gifts. 

He likes to give presents, but not at birthdays or Nachspel or any time when gifts are expected. He’s very Kerch about it and prefers to give his presents when they will be most appreciated or of the most use. But that’s not to say all his gifts are practical. 

When Colm passed away, Kaz gave Jesper a Kaelish star and crown pinkie ring that Jesper had pointed out years before in a jeweler's window, commenting that it reminded him of a ring his Da had lost when Jesper was a little boy. Jesper had been moved to speechlessness. 

Mostly, though, Kaz prefers the type of gift that can’t be bought in a shop. When Inej rescues would-be indentures, sometimes they want to come to Ketterdam anyway – dreaming a new life – instead of returning home. He finds them decent, well-paying work. The way Inej’s tight shoulders relax each time one of her charges is taken care of is worth all the favors he has called in. 

He hates to get gifts – if there’s something he wants, he’ll buy it and if there’s something he can’t buy, half the joy is taking it – but he likes being right about what someone wants or needs. He likes the way a perfect gift throws someone slightly off balance. But mostly he likes inventing new ways to tell his friends how much he loves them without using words.

Finally decided to make one of these!

It took me a while to pick an online name but I guess this one’s good enough :P

Jesper: “Just listen to your body” my body tells me to go back to bed and don’t ever get out

Alternatively, he likes most bugs but is scared of butterflies

I have a really specific Jesper headcanon that he likes most bugs but viscerally detests wasps

Fjerdan flag I made for the guard uniforms in the tank scene artwork! Some design notes:

Mainly inspired by Nordic flags. Those flags use a cross to represent religion, and this flag does the same. Instead of a cross, the white shape represents the sacred ash tree

Blue symbolizes the wellspring

The color palette reflects the cold landscape

okay yes kaz doesn't care about anything blah blah blah but have you ever considered that he remembers absolutely everything and not only the stuff he can one day use against the people in his life. he remembers how jesper puts cinnamon into his coffee so it doesn't keep him awake all day so kaz keeps cinnamon sticks behind the bar at the crow club for him. he remembers how wylan tucks flowers into his messenger bag so he waits beside a flower patch when they meet to discuss demo plans. he remembers how nina hates how her only pair of boots dig into her heels so he leaves a new pair on her bed without a word. he remembers how matthias is soothed at the sound of bird chirping so he tells him to walk down by the east harbor for "no other reason" than to "pick up a shipment" and NOT because seagulls and ospreys cluster there. and yes. his wife. inej. he remembers how pious and devote she is so he carves symbols of the saints into the wood of her ship with his knife to remind her he adores her faith despite all that he's said before and he would remember even in death how her raven hair flows down her back and how her nimble fingers stroke around her whiskey glass because he loves her GODDAMNIT.

I love the idea that Wylan just drags Jesper around to every Merchant Council event so if someone tries to surprise him with something written, he has his walking translator with him, but like

he’s in an oligarchy

There HAVE to be certain little moments where Jesper just should not be there with him, and he needs to read pressing information right before a conference or something

so Jesper must have to just drape himself over his husband at all opportunities to try and catch a glimpse of the small slip of paper Wylan is pretending to read, and then whispers sweet nothings of governmental secrets into Wylan’s ear

Like the Merchant Council must just constantly bounce back and forth between wondering if Wylan is so blinded by Jesper’s looks that he can’t notice his lover is reading the Top Secret Message he was just given, or wondering if Jesper is the dumbest man in the world for not seeing the notes that Wylan keeps clearly opening and reading right in front of him

Kaz: Time for plan G. Inej: Don’t you mean plan B? Kaz: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties. Nina: What about plan D? Kaz: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt half an hour ago. Matthias: What about plan E? Kaz: I’m hoping not to use it. Wylan dies in plan E. Jesper: I don't like plan E.

Inej: you know, maybe the real prize was the friends we made along the way.

Kaz, counting his kruge for the twentieth time that day: it better fucking not be.
