The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people

Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.

annabeth chase is hated on the most because of the fact that she is the most 'human' out of all the characters.

like out of all the books (that she's present for) annabeth chase is the one who cries the most. she also experiences the most human emotions like jealousy, envy, anger, loss and grief (both for luke, before and after he died). the haters don't like that. they don't like a strong female lead who has emotions that makes her "weak." they want a female lead who throws her emotions away and is submissive does whatever the male lead wants her to do with no ability to think for herself.

the one emotion my girl is ALWAYS being shamed for is jealousy/envy of someone else as if we all haven't at one point in our lives been jealousy of someone. put your selves in her shoes before you start talking abt her.

no one has ever stuck around for her. she genuinely tried so hard to keep everyone that's ever come into her life and none of them have stuck around.

and then she meets percy jackson, a guy who she is NOT supposed to get along with because her mom hates him and she would be expected to hate him because she wants to make her mom proud and acknowledge her. and yet they go on a quest and she realizes that he's not that bad and they become best friends.

fast forward a couple of quests and he's proven to her that he will never leave her side and he isn't like the rest and then one day he shows up with some random mortal girl and then they take over her quest and she lets them, because its the only way to save camp, but that doesn't mean she has to be happy about it.

and then she has one more year with him before she loses him to the great prophecy and she doesn't even see him anymore because he spends all of his time away from camp. and she doesn't want them mad at each other but they just can't seem to get along and suddenly, if feels to her as if he's like everyone else, he found someone better than her and he left.

'oh but why didn't she realize that he had feelings for her earlier?' (dumbest question i've ever heard btw)

my girl only saw him 4-5 weeks out of the year (52 weeks), and that's why she genuinely couldn't tell if he liked her or not. and even if he did, did he like her in a 'i want to date you' way or a summer fling kinda way.

so NO annabeth chase slander will be tolerated.

I still get so heartbroken every time I think about Inej’s flashback scene on the boat to Fjerda - Inej is lying on a table barely surviving a knife wound and going through flashbacks, whilst Nina sings to her in attempt to ward off flashbacks not only for Inej but for herself as well. We know how much Inej was struggling and that alone is such a tender and emotional moment but there’s such an interesting dimension added to it as well through the fact that we never see this moment from Nina’s pov but we know, and Inej knows as well because she tells her out loud in this scene, that Nina finds the boat really difficult. Nina doesn’t know that Inej is having flashbacks - is Nina going through something similar that, because we aren’t reading it from her perspective, we don’t know about? I feel so struck by it because I think that it’s essentially forcing the reader to watch both of them struggling and be forced to confront how completely complicit they (we) are in this scene and in every other - on the one hand we know everything that’s happening and can do nothing, and on the other we don’t know enough and can’t find out about it but even if we did we could have no impact. Idk maybe this doesn’t make sense but for me I feel like it forces the reader to confront something in a different way than a lot of the other scenes do; we see the crows experience flashbacks several times in various occasions and they are often quite painful scenes not only because their flashbacks hold pain but because we know they are relieving that pain. But there’s something about this moment, when both girls are so vulnerable and they have no-one but each other and yet they don’t know what each other are going through and meanwhile we sit there knowing what’s happening and completely helpless that just hits me in a different way

Percy, Frank and Leo (not in order)

Leo because that's his coping mechanism. He jokes about it. And he will still joke about it to a stranger.

Frank cause he genuinely doesn't believe he has actual trauma (which is HEARTBREAKING I LOVE FRANK) Especially compared to the others he'll just mention stuff that hey that's no biggie my friend however want through so much worse. (MY BOY YOU MATTER)

Percy for both reasons. He jokes about it. Part of him knows how bad it was so that's how he copes (NOT HEALTHY BTW) But at the same time being a son of the big three and a Prophecy kid TWICE to him it's the norm. He's born into this so is it really trauma? (It is)

inej at the beginning of six of crows wondering if kaz had ever been a little boy vs “the sun was out for once, and inej had turned her face to it. her eyes were shut, her oil-black lashes fanned over her cheeks. the harbour wind had lifted her dark hair, and for a moment kaz was a boy again, sure that there was magic in this world.”

It's true. It works

Study tip: pretend you’re Peter Parker.

I owe all my academic success - however little it may be - to spider-man. Whenever I need to study, I just imagine I'm peter parker studying for his exams after patrol. Projecting my life through his somehow helps me feel more motivated.

When I’m exhausted and all I want to do is go bed-rot but I still have a thousand things to do, I tell myself if peter parker is juggling school, patrols, and his internship on zero sleep. Surely I can survive doing a school assignment.

Honestly, one of the biggest reasons I joined my school’s internship program was to channel his energy through me and to give this mantra of mine a bit more truth. In my mind if peter parker can do it? so can I. And it works so well. I have been doing this for years and I will to continue to do so until I graduate.

Saw someone say it's crooked because there were 6 of them (6 pillars) but by the end there are only five.

I haven't quite been the same since

how do people interpret the second book in the six of crows duology being called “Crooked Kingdom”? like what do you think it means?

for me, kaz has described ketterdam as his little kingdom, and he has also called himself crooked. since the book takes place in ketterdam, i feel like it refers to ketterdam as kaz’s home and how it turns on him as well.

any other thoughts?

[ramen8008]

guys you know the whole thing with water and change in six of crows? i’ve realized some huge things with it. There’s obviously the underlying theme of water symbolizing change strung through the duology, and i’ve noticed each of the crows have some sort of trauma related to water. Kaz having to swim for hours desperately clinging to clinging to his brothers body. Inej feeling the waves under her feet as she’s in a slaver ship. Nina and Matthias swimming together after a ship crash in a storm. Wylan having to jump off a boat and swim his way to shore, terrified if he’d be caught or get away. Jespers mother dying while tending to a girl who drank contaminated water. But, in the end, all this things were what brought them to Ketterdam for the first time. (In Kaz’s case, not the first. But his first time there as his new “reborn” self) and what brought them all together as the crows. The water that nearly killed them all and damaged them tremendously was the same that brought them together and saved them.

Help Mohamad reunite his family and clear his debt

I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.

Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.

As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.

In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.

Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.

For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges and provide a stable future for his family.

Your contribution will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.

Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.

Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones.
