he would have definetely had to ask someone whether his tie was straight prior to this exchange

kaz: is my tie straight?

jesper: straighter than me

kaz: that's not a comparison

Inej: Marry me

Kaz: *runs away and hides for the rest of his life*

------------------------------------------------

Kaz: Share a home with me to cut down on bills and get tax benefits with me. But all for the sake of money not love no never.

Inej:

Nina: Get away from the man

i started listening to the six of crows audiobook in choir....that was a bad idea.....because i accidentally sang "joost"

[grisha-brain]

oh that makes it SO much better..

and then can you imagine him refusing to tell inej why he changed it and her knowing full well but pretending she doesn't

The whole wavy hair kaz hc is pretty popular BUT

its also popular that inej ADORES kaz with hisbhair like that..

so imagine if she just never says that

and he keeps gelling it back

and then someday she just says really offhand "i prefer it wavy you know?"

and kaz completely freaks out.

and he's like oh no why didnt i always wear it like that hige mistake oh no alert.

and then starts keeping his hair wavy and wearing it like that around ketterdam.

and everyone is like ???????

including wylan and jesper.

because kaz has randomly decided to start wearing his hair mostly unstyled.

completely random.

yes just some thoughts.

Meanwhile, Joost needs Inejs help finding browneye compliments...

I really appreciate how Leigh made Kaz's eyes dark brown, and made Inej describe them so many times in a way that made them seem like a work of art. Coming from someone who has brown (darkish hazel) eyes, this detail of SOC really helped me feel so much more confident about it.

It's actually so rare that we get a main male character who is white but has dark eyes. Literally every book I've ever read, the mmc has bright colored eyes. Even in the Grishaverse, nearly all the main guys have colored eyes. The D*rkling having gray (I think), Nikolai having hazel (muddy green as Sturmhond), Mal having blue, Jesper having a rather gorgeous silver, Wylan and Matthias also having shades of blue, and Tolya having gold. And then we have Kaz Brekker, who's eyes are as dark as coffee, but he is still sooo hot. At least, according to Inej, Imogen, Jesper (temporarily), several girls at the Menagerie, and several Dreg members as well. You cannot change my mind.

Note: this is no slander to Freddy Carter's show version of Kaz, I love him equally as much, regardless of his blue eyes.

ok...

so some actors/actresses have to work out to be muscular for a role...

WHY COULDN'T DANIELLE GALLIGAN EAT 30 WAFFLES A DAY FOR NINA ZENIK? MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE THAN WORKING OUT, IN MY OPINION. IT STILL MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ENOUGH, BUT COME ON... IT WOULD BEAT WHAT WE HAVE.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND STAN DANI, BUT EVEN BETTER, MAYBE A DIFFERENT ACTRESS? SO ASHAMED OF THE CASTING CREW

ALSO WHILE WE'RE AT IT, SIX OF CROWE SPINOFF. CALAHAN WAS ONE OF THE BEST CAST CROWS AND YOU ARE TAKING THE "MY GHOST WON'T ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR GHOST" LINR AWAY FROM HIM.

Rant over, until next time, besties

Six of crows as adults

Nina and Matthias:

-They don’t know where to settle because she wants ravka and he wants fjerda and they both also want to stay in kerch

-they stay in kerch for a while and matthias learns to make waffles and other desserts

-they open up a shop

-very cheap (but good) dessert

-cheap because matthias didn’t want to rip people off

-even though it’s literally ketterdam

-when nina becomes pregnant they move away from ketterdam and settle down in the mountains on the fjerda-ravka border

-they stay there but travel to ketterdam a lot

-also they have TWINS

Nina and Hanne/Rasmus/Ilya:

-Ilya and Nina marry and become king and queen eventually

-They start off as Mila and Rasmus, but by the end Nina’s chosen a new name (it’s just Nina again) and Ilya has a saint name which he uses instead of Rasmus

-Then they decide to get Genya to start tailoring her back, really subtly

-They start with the eyes over the course of a few months

then start making her hair darker and wavy

and finally the face structure

it takes a few years but its totally worth it

They are the king and queen of Fjerda, and have to have enough kids to have a worthy heir

They have 4

Their eldest is Matthias, supposedly named after Sankt Mattheus

We all know who he’s really named after, but Fjerda is fooled.He’s basically Matthias reincarnation. He has blue eyes blond hair (from Yvla) which he wears long, and a similar personality (the first to die vibe. except he doesn’t die. He does not inherit grisha abilities

-The second is Hanne. Nina absolutely insisted on it. Named after the queen’s old friend who died. Totally not named after her father.She’s bold and loves combat. Also otkazatsya. She has russetish hair (no-one know where that’s from) and green eyes.

-The third is Joran. He’s a healer, and he plays a key part in the Drusje revolution (basically the fjerdans coming to accept grisha) He has brown hair and green eyes.

-The youngest is Ylva. Ilya chose this name. She has blonde hair and copper eyes and is a alkemi. She loves working with poisons and such.

-In this version (my main headcanon. i’m sorry but my mind just doesn’t like undead matthias. it’s heartbreaking but its so beautiful to read i can’t just undo that) she ends up dating Addi van Eck after many trips to Ketterdam spent with her.

-yes the royal fjerdan family take regular trips to ketterdam to see some of their *criminal* friends. Nina and Ilya grow old but don’t, because they’re grisha and both live to well over 100.Everyone knows theyre grisha and love them for it because they have that much influence.

-when they do die, they pass fjerda onto matthias and his partner (his partner is agender. why? because I say so) and the grimjer line stays strong for centuries after that

Kaz and Inej:

-They don’t think physical intimacy is too important

-They try to heal, but it’s not the main goal

-They do get married, though

-Kaz signs off all his letters and stuff as KGB and no one actually knows what it means

-Kaz stays in ketterdam and becomes a really successful gang leader. He establishes a new gang, the Silver Crows, instead of taking over the dregs

-Meanwhile Inej hunts slavers on the wraith and absolutely heeds kaz’s advice to make herself a legendpeople fear her and love her

-she stays anonymous the whole time though, only the crows, the crows kids (when they’re old enough) and the crows parents know.

-They never have children

-Eventually they decide that she spends 3 months on the wraith and 1 in ketterdam and it works really well.

-After a few years in this schedule, they decide to end pekka rollins once and for allthey start by destroying the dime lions, which is easy because they’d already shaken the foundations and had weakened them quite a bitthen move on to rollins

-They know that killing him is too merciful

-so they buy the house that was a hertzoon household and lock him in there.

-just stuck in that house.

-they even get him a silver dog like the one hertzoon had and get it to attack him regularly

-badly

-in the end, pekka rollins kills himselfyes i just grinned while writing that

-Inej dies first (sorry I have to write this)and it’s like criminal romeo and juliet

-because kaz brekker no longer has a reason

-and the rumors of him not needing a reason are false.

-so he dies while waiting at the harbour for her to come back from her travels (yes he just sat there waiting not eating or sleeping)

Jesper and Wylan:

-They get married before they even reach adulthood. it’s legal.

-Jesper Van Eck

-Yes they keep Van Eck. for the sake of business.

- Colm is a bit disappointed but gets over it.

- jesper jokes its to disgrace the name

-Wylan is a successful mercher. he does everything but jesper reads for him

-jesper helps wylan write letters full of insults to the van eck in his prison cell

-and they burn all the responses without reading them

-they really want children but they want to adopt the perfect one

-and they find her

-just before the wraith eneded the menagerie, the zemini gave birth to a girl. the father was some anonymous kaelish client

-the girl was put up for adoption and it was like they knew as soon as they saw her

-yes, jesper is also kaelish-zemini, but it showed a lot more on the baby.

-she had skin too light for zemini or suli but too dark for the other races

-and bright red hair

-she actually looked like she could be their child.they named her Aditi (Addi) Van Eckshe grows up to be tall and pretty and there’s a bunch of boys who try to get her to date them.

-but she turns them all down

-because wesper ain’t raising a straight girl

-she’s a really good fighter and a tidemaker and she joins the silver crows as soon as Kaz lets her

-wylan and jesper don’t let her but jesper’s a bit too scared to say no to kaz and wylan secretly think she should definietely learn to fight

-In my slightly more canonical universe where matthias does die, she ends up dating Yvla Grimjer.in the one where matthias lives, she ends up dating *trans* alby rollins (lol redhead couple)

-yes i definetely headcanon alby as transfem (but she keeps her name because it’s kind of androgynous)

-Jesper dies first (yes i am going into this sorry guys(

-and it’s so wrong because jesper is grisha and should outlive wylan

-when it’s just wylan and addi wylan doesn’t see the point any more and quits his job

-they move to lij and stay there

-addi stays with wylan to support him even though she has a life with yvla

-when wylan dies, yvla and addi live in that property and stay in Lij for the rest of their lives.
