the fact that estrogen can just make the penis act like a clitoris will never fail to impress me because it shows just how much of an effect hormones have on our bodies. however the fact that hardly anyone talks about this and instead expects all girl dick to act like cis guy dick is very bleak. it's also exactly in line with how misogyny demands the mystification women's genitals and bodies in order to strip women of their own autonomy and subjectivity more generally, because that's exactly what it is. you aren't supposed to acknowledge the biological realities of transfeminine bodies, because in order to benefit from transmisogyny you must deny us our humanity by living in ignorance about us and casting us strictly into the realm of "sex object"

do u think in the grishaverse rather than it being Victorian child/man/women jokes it’s Fjerdan?

Like:

“I feel a fjerdan man seeing ankle for the first time.”

“This sentence would kill a fjerdan child.”

“Not to sound like fjerdan woman suffering from hysteria—”

(Yes the crows 100% make these jokes and it drives Matthias insane) (Kaz and Nina are the primary offenders)

I love how Kaz Brekker is like "I'm a soulless monster who cares about nothing" 90% of the time.

But then occasionally he'll just fall into light conversation, even slightly jokingly, with Jesper (or another Crow).

---

Example: Six of Crows, Chapter 19 - Matthias

Jesper consulted his compass, and they turned south, seeking a path that would lead them to the main trading road. "I'm going to pay someone to burn my kruge for me."

Kaz fell into step beside him. "Why don't you pay someone else to pay someone to burn your kruge for you? That's what the big players do."

"You know what the really big bosses do? They pay someone to pay someone to..."

Their voices trailed off as they tromped ahead, and Matthias and the others followed after.

---

Like I just know that they kept going for another full minute after that.

so when are we as a fandom gonna remember that Jesper was literally Kaz's right hand. like the only person in the world he trusted besides Inej. cause some of yall wanna act like he didnt like him at all and i will not stand for platonic Kazper slander.

here are my top 5 favorite moments kaz brekker insulted someone to their face :

"always one step ahead aren't you?" "when it comes to you I'd say I have a running start"

"I had a question. about your mother and whether the rumors were true?"

"this is what happens when stupid people start making big plans"

"boys like you weren't meant to get ideas helvar"

"I'm superstitious not stupid" "you can be both you know"

vengeance is waiting

Not what you'd want to see on a dark Ketterdam night

the crows are so young. they're so young. they make fun of wylan for playing the flute and being a bad criminal. they love waffles. they mock kaz's bad haircut. matthias mentally addresses kaz only with insults for nearly the whole two books. they have all been jealous of each other showing other people attention at some point -- jesper is jealous of anyone kaz gives attention to. matthias is jealous of anyone nina gives attention to. kaz is jealous of how comfortable the others are with each other. wylan is jealous of kuwei flirting with jesper -- they're all insecure at some point. nina gets mad at them for eating her cookies. they're all horny and fantasize about their crushes while actively running for their lives. they all want to kill the woman they kidnapped because she's whiny. they tease inej for sounding philosophical. they have secret hand signals. jesper and nina make sex jokes all the time and love to make others blush. they spite each other. they threatened to tattletale on each other to each other. they compete over who has the biggest bounty on his head. inej uses "being a matthias" as an insult. kaz and jesper have a physical scrap and have to be pulled apart by an Adult. i adore them so much

sorry i’m just thinking again about kaz brekker, perpetual cynic, and his surprisingly optimistic view of fathers and sons. just. kaz knowing that the one thing that would ruin pekka rollins, the man he hates more than anything, who he couldn’t think less of, would be to threaten the safety of his son. kaz telling jesper that his father cares more about him than any farm. kaz saying “call me sentimental, but i didn’t believe a father could be so callous.” kaz’s fatal misunderstanding of van eck being that he couldn’t conceive of a world in which fathers don’t love their sons. thinking about what all this says about kaz’s own father, and everything he lost before he and jordie ever stepped foot in ketterdam.

Genuinely adore Six of Crows because it’s one of the very few books that manages to have six main characters who all have fully fleshed out backstories. Like, some of the characters (specifically Jesper and Nina) could’ve easily just been played off as the 2 dimensional comic relief characters, but they’re not. I love it because all of the characters are allowed to develop as characters of their own, but this also bleeds into the development of their relationships, friendships etc. with the other Crows.

rereading six of crows oh my god whyy does kaz interact with inej like he's playing episode with no diamonds

[spookyscaryskeletrans]

Just a friendly reminder to all Trans Grishaverse Stans that you’re valid and loved

Things we (me) are forgetting about Six of crows, not in order:

• There were rumours that Wylan was caught in an affair with his tutor

• Inej killed rinca moten (the desert lizard) that Matthias claimed he never seen being defeated before. She did it in few seconds too

• Jesper and Nina had chloropellets that they used to put other prisoners to sleep stitched under their skin. And had to cut them out to use them

• Matthias had a buzzcut for whole two books and half; also, half of SoC he had brown hair and brown eyes tailored

• Kaz had lockpicks and bloody explosives swallowed for the entirety of heist, and had to regurgitate them every other hour

• When Nina was young, she wanted to go to Fjerda as an avenging warrior or a spy (foreshadowing, I guess)

• Inej used Kaz's gloves to climb in the incenerator scene

• After learning Inej's real name, Kaz asked if that's what she preferred to be called

•Kaz's pov has shown that he probably had fracture or other injury from when he jumped while carrying Inej in his arms, and it was never mentioned him getting any medical attention. My boy been running this heist like this, AND without his cane for hours

• They blew up the nation's holy magical tree (somehow I keep forgetting this part)

• Matthias gave Kaz an agressive CPR until Nina took over. So his heart probably stopped during heist? (Somebody just give him a vacation or something)

•Nina flirts/ed with Kaz (as he had mentioned himself, she just loves flirting with everybody and everything)

•Inej seems to be the ONLY one in the Dregs without their tattoo

•Matthias labeled Inej as a demon in his head as well, not only Kaz

•Matthias' middle name is Benedik. I think only his and Jesper's second names were revealed (very likely that they are the only ones who have them)

•Kaz gave Matthias the "you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" talk (like, literally)

•“You can’t spend his money if you’re dead.”

“I’ll acquire expensive habits in the afterlife.”

•Inej thought that Kaz "at least owes me his best imitation of a human being".

•Wylan was standing up to Kaz several times, even at times when others wouldn't (like right after the Oomen incident)

•Matthias has the coolest nicknames for everybody in general

•Kaz kinda thinks more of Inej than others do? Has more faith in her and how strong she is, if you will

•Kaz went back for the Black Tips after Inej was injured and "there was enough blood to paint a barn red" (reminder that he still has a fracture after running with her in his hands and jumping off great heightswhile carrying her)

•Tolya was mentioned in SoC ("There’s a Heartrender at the Little Palace who can recite epic poetry for hours. Then you’d wish you had died.”)

•Matthias thanked Inej personally for being the reason they made it out of the harbor alive (that's right, everybody must respect Inej)

•Kaz wants reassurance that Inej believes in him once in a while

•Everybody feels kinda good about sharing secrets with Kaz cuz he's Dirtyhands and he wouldn't judge anything

•Kaz and Inej have a series of silent signals?

•Kaz said "You don't want a look at what's inside my head, Nina dear" while wearing fucking dumb goggles

•Inej is the only sacred thing in Kaz's life, and she made him feel like a boy still believing in existence of magic
