the way inej was like staring at a husband unbraiding his wife's hair and being all sad about how she'll never find that. the way she has a sense of deja vu when kaz starts playing with her hair, unbraiding it and rebraiding it into ridiculously complicated hairstyles, and she just smiles to herself because she knows found it- maybe not one as innocent, but one all the same.

i love how kaz's disability is actually described as affecting him day to day and not just there so he can use a prop in a cool way. like the recurring descriptions of how much his leg is hurting him, and how he (somewhat) struggles, even if he hides it well, to do things like walk up stairs. idk i just appreciate how leigh could have just said "kaz has a disability and needs a cane" and left it at that and just had him use his cane as a cool weapon but didn't. there are actual descriptions about his leg affecting him, and the audience is reminded of it frequently when we read from his pov, because it's something he has to deal with very frequently!! even with his mental disability too—we're reminded of it very frequently because it's a part of him and not just something he has for the excuse of giving his character gloves and being edgy. i digress. but i really do appreciate how disabilities through kaz's character aren't overly romanticized and used as a cheap excuse to add props to him.

nina’s first thought about matthias being “he looks like a painting” before remembering he might kill her
🤝🏼
wylan’s first thought about jesper being “this boy had the most perfectly shaped lips he’d ever seen” before realizing he might have been sent to kill him

i think strange and off-putting wylan is the best. you know how he is in those fanfictions where he just. stares. and creeps people out. in the inside, he's having ten different panic attacks, but on the outside it's all just big blue bambi eyes and an entirely unresponsive demeanor. things happen around him and he doesn't react. he doesn't move. he doesn't blink. he just stares. he's weird and there and that's it. jesper instantly needs him carnally and all he did was look at him blankly and ignore him from then on. nina finds him hilarious. matthias finds him a lil weird but also the most normal person in the crows. inej gives him a knife to protect himself but he's already got a whole lot of bombs hidden in his little gay satchel that he's told no one about and will bring out in the middle of a random fight where he will romantically lock eyes with jesper and then blow up a bunch of people. kaz glares at him and wylan just looks back without flinching so kaz hires him because how the fuck??? how??
idk i just love off-putting wylan he's my favorite

six of crows in pjo:
kaz brekker — son of mercury (roman)
powers:
ability to manipulate locks, deadbolts, touch/face identification on devices, etc. can also correctly guess pin numbers, security questions, captchas, etc.
money is drawn to him — loose change, wallets, credit cards, etc. he can also create small amounts of legitimate-looking counterfeit currency from any country from a provided example.
is gifted at persuasion and deception, and can haggle/bargain effectively to achieve his desired outcome.
inej ghafa — daughter of nemesis (roman)
powers:
opponents are also similarly injured when attacking/striking her (ie. arrow ricochets back into its shooter, sword shatters and cuts its wielder, etc.). the severity of the retributive attack is always equal to what inej receives initially
ability to alter someone's luck/fortune — can change good luck to bad and vice-versa, but only if they deserve it
always has perfect balance, whether it be in battle, on a high-wire, upside-down in a handstand, etc.
jesper fahey — son of apollo (greek)
powers:
perfect aim when shooting a firearm, bow, crossbow, slingshot, etc.
can put curses in the form of disease or sickness on his ammunition. whoever is shot will be plagued by the disease until the sun sets
can 'see' into the immediate future for certain minor outcomes (he would describe it as more of a 'divine hunch'), such as in blackjack, three card monty, roulette, rolling a dice, flipping a coin, etc.
nina zenik — daughter of hecate (greek)
powers:
can manipulate the mist to cast glamours/illusions upon people to make them appear different and trick both mortal and non-mortals alike
has the innate ability for magic and can cast any spell she's capable of; the power and effectiveness of the spell depends on her confidence and health
can control and summon certain types of dead, such as spirits, ghosts, or souls of the damned (necrokinesis)
matthias helvar — son of mars (roman)
powers:
higher stamina, speed, and strength than the average demigod. has faster reflexes and can dodge/parry otherwise lethal attacks that would kill/injure anyone else.
able to perfectly wield any weapon he chooses.
can bond and commune with wolves, mars's sacred animal.
wylan van eck — son of hephaestus (greek)
powers:
can create small sparks and explosions with his hands like lit gunpowder or firecrackers/fireworks
can detonate explosives such as grenades, landmines, bombs etc. from a range of 1500-2000 feet by reaching out through a form of telekinesis and triggering them. can similarly disarm any explosive
innate understanding of mechanics and electronics.

The Kaz + Helnik dynamic is really funny. Whether it's with both of them together or individually, they both have wanted to kill/strangle him at some point, but soon begin to really care about him and learn to tolerate him while still wholeheartedly believing that he's a little shit. And Kaz in turn loves them too, but would die than admit it, so he shamelessly, spitefully and relentlessly annoys them. He pisses Nina off and roasts the living hell out of Matthias. The dynamic is always HILARIOUS AS FUCK!!!! Why do you think I love last few Ice Court scenes so much?
And I will forever cry about not being able to see it on screen.

headcanon that when Kaz gets questions at the Crow Club and Slat about where Jesper went, he tells everyone that he's "off entertaining some mercher". so naturally everyone starts wondering which Council member he's sleeping with and asking why he's suddenly into old white dudes and Kaz just lets it happen cause he thinks it's funny.
then Jesper shows up again at the Slat after a couple weeks of getting settled with Wylan, and everyone's either calling him a traitor or asking him how Schenck is in bed. and Wylan's just standing there next to him laughing his ass off. eventually Jesper gets so fed up he gets up on a table and announces to everyone that he's fucking Wylan Van Eck, former demo man and newest member of the Council, not some wrinkly white asshole. everyone cheers and Wylan goes bright red, and Jesper is very pleased with himself.

Jan Van Eck writing letters to Wylan, knowing he can't read, must be one of the cruelest things a negligent parent could ever do. and by that I mean mocking your own child instead of trying to understand and help them. I'm sorry it just makes me really emotional, I think sometimes we focus more on the other characters and their past, but Wylan was not as privileged as it seems to be at the beginning

me five shots deep: no, no, you don't understand. the point is all the main couples mirror each other. nina and matthias are child soldiers loyal to their country above almost everything else. jesper and wylan have low self esteems, fathers deeply important to the narrative, and are fundamentally mommas' boys. and kaz and inej-
the person trying to fuck me at the bar, nodding: -are the two deadliest people in the barrel and they can't even touch each other without keeling over.
me: exactly! and one more thing-
