Kaz: “Alright, it’s come to my attention that your teachers don’t teach you about how the banking system works yet. A clear flaw in the Ketterdam education system, but luckily you have me as a father and I can teach you how banks work better than they could anyways.”

Aashvi Ghafa (5 year old):

Jordan Ghafa (8 year old):

Kaz: “Now, you’re going to come up to me and convince me to loan you this money.”

Aashvi: “Hello, Baba! Can I have the money?”

Kaz: “And why do you need it today, young miss?”

Aashvi: “Because I’m adorable.”

Kaz: “Fair point. Bad reason. Denied.”

Aashvi: “Because I’m very sick.”

Kaz: “Do you have your extended medical history, and a medik, and your prescriptions, and your insurance provider with you? No? Denied.”

Aashvi: “That’s not fair.”

Kaz: “Exactly.”

Jordan: “I’ll pay for her.”

Kaz: “You don’t have any money.”

Jordan: “Yes I do. I just took it from that table while Aashvi was talking to you.”

Kaz:

Kaz: “I am. So. Proud of you.”

(Some silly headcanons about Mortalitasi and Nevarran traditions that ended up leading me to Emmrich. How typical.)

We don't actually know all that much about Nevarra and their customs. World of Thedas and some of the in-game codex tells us some key points: strong royal families, a rich history of dragon hunting, an elite group of mages rumored to be heavily involved in makings of the country, and, of course, the thing that this country is most famous for - the fascination with the dead.

Our very own Nevarran companion mentions a couple of things about her home country:

And even though she doesn't seem fond of Mortalitasi practices or Nevarran customs surrounding the dead, she admits that some stories that pervade the South are greatly exaggerated:

(I feel so called out)

This makes me think that this interest in the dead is still a personal choice. I doubt that an average Nevarran is obsessed with those rituals any more than an average person from Ferelden is with theirs - those are just a part of their traditions that obviously affect their lives in unique ways, but that is all.

Now, Nevarran nobility are a different matter. They are said to start the construction of their tombs very early in life - lavishly decorated palaces with gardens, ballrooms and bathhouses. A sign of power and wealth for them, and that I can believe.

But when it comes to Mortalitasi, do they, in general, care as much? Do they take all these things, all these rituals, to extreme somehow, professional pride and all?

How much would a Mortalitasi care about their own tomb? Would Mortalitasi friends and colleagues ever promise to lead the other's ceremony depending on who dies first? "Oh, I'll totally mummify you if you're the one to go first, don't you worry, I know you think that Markus is getting sloppy".

The coffin sharing is also not unheard of (the spouses from The Flame Eternal), and I wonder if it's ever used as a grand gesture - to ask someone to be placed in the same tomb?

(And just imagine how messy this could get, the way people are. Building a tomb together only to have a falling out, what are you even supposed to do after that?)

Would it be romantic then, to tell your significant other that you don't want to ever part from them, even in death?

Beacause imagine Emmrich writing a quick letter to his friend from the Mourn Watch (Johanna, if they are still friends after all these years, or Myrna), "doing fine, on a saving the world business trip, will be back when I can; could I trouble you with a favor - a bigger coffin, installed in my tomb, not urgent, just whenever you have the time."

When the reply comes and his friend is (obviously) asking for a reason for such a sudden change, he just looks at Rook from the corner of his eye and replies with "no particular reason, just felt like it."

Strange as it might sound, I do enjoy the show's occasional perspective of the crows being portrayed as side characters, because that's an entire point in the books; it's what they're meant to be. They're not the chosen ones, they're not heroes, they're ordinary people trying to survive.

And I don't know, I find it fascinating to think of what the crows are perceived as by more objectively crucial figures like Alina or Nikolai or any Grisha fighting in the war.

Like, what is it like to hire a generally 'disposable'-looking gang of thieves, thinking you'll never have to think too much of them but ending up witnessing that they're neither props nor saviours, just wholeheartedly and entirely human ?

What is it like to meet a cruel, foul-mouthed Barrel boss that won't hesitate to rat a Saint out for financial gain and then watch as he, not only helps save your country but also offers you his own cane because you're too injured to walk?

What is it like to witness a gunslinger who has shot entire groups of Grisha down in the Fold light up at the sight of an ordinary Suli girl that most people wouldn't have cared to see alive or dead? A Suli girl that he proceeds to embrace and twirl around in a form of joy that you never considered might even exist among criminals?

What is it like to have been hunted down, betrayed and almost kidnapped by that gang of criminals, only for one of them to end up praying to you, fighting for you, crying at the sight of the power you have doubted for so long?

I'm just. . . SO curious to know what the s&b characters thought after getting a glimpse of the crows' humanity, the moment of them realizing that solidarity doesn't only exist among patriots, saints and kings aiming for peace, but even among ordinary criminals with questionable morals.

time to heavily project onto kaz!

he’s obviously very stoic in person, but when he gets a compliment on his hat he does a little happy dance when he gets home

(Older) Kaz: “On one hand, I am aware of the optics of Dirtyhands playing hide-and-seek with a baby in the park, and how it is indeed probably ruining my reputation.”

Kaz: “On the other hand, my son likes the park, and it makes him laugh when I disappear and reappear. So. I guess I’ll just lose my reputation.”

Hello.

My name is Edwin and I am a member of the Dead Boy Detective Agency. This agency was started in the 1990’s with me and my colleague Charles being the only members. Since then, we have collected more.

Because of this, Niko, one of our newer members, was insistent that we use the internet in order to “keep with the times.” After a vote, the majority of our members agreed.

We now have 8 members, so we have all decided that we would each put a signature at the bottom of each of our replies. These are listed below:

- Edwin

Charles (CR)

💎 Crystal

Niko (≧◡≦)

Cat King 🐾

Jenny 🟩

Night Nurse

Feel free to let us know if we can help with anything.

Pokeblock theater

Have a silly au doodle inspired by me playing battleblock recently lol

You clicked the button? Well would your oc like a chance to become famous?! Preform dangerous feats and deadly acts in front of a live audience?! Then comment below for a chance to join the theater!

aka a dramatic way of asking if y’all want to be silly cameos in the background if I decide to draw more of this for fun :3 anyone who joins the fellow crew of prisoners friends will be anthroed and drawn in dangerous situations but will probably not go to far past a bit of blood

[shit-people-probably-didnt-say]

Judge: How do you plead?

Kaz: Not guilty and I wish to invoke the ancient right of trial by combat. I will fight any champion put up by the Merchant Council to the death

Thingy about Theo being sick cause I'm sick and thought of this when I couldn't sleep last night :) TW: suffocation/sh mentions

(Background: Theo got really sick and threw up on their shark plushie that helps them sleep)

Dick, entering Theo's room: Hey, Fledgling, heard you weren't feeling too hot...

Theo, siting up in bed suddenly: *dizzily smiles and waves at Dick before collapsing back onto his bed*

Dick, sitting next to him on his bed: okay... anyways, since your shark is getting washed, do you wanna use Zitka for tonight? how does that sound?

Theo: *latches onto the stuff elephant and snuggles into it*

Dick, ruffling his hair: aww, guess you're to out of it to be a little menace right now, huh? *as he leaves* feel better soon, Fledgling.

later, in the kitchen or sm idk

Dick: oh, hey, Bruce, wanted to let you know that Theo finally fell asleep, I let him use Zitkz and he was out like a light.

Bruce: That's good. Thank you, Richard.

Dick: Yea, he's so out of it though, I've never seen him so relaxed.

Bruce, Ah, yes, the medication he is on helps with that.

Dick: What, like NyQuil?

Bruce: Well, that and some anxiety meds.

Dick: You got him to take them? I thought he hated those.

Bruce: ...

Dick: Bruce?

Bruce: I had no choice.

Dick: Did you drug him?

Bruce: I did what I had to.

Dick: BULLSHIT! He's still fucking healing, Bruce!

Bruce: He was suffocating himself!

Dick: He- what?

Bruce: *sighs* He has been to congested to breath through his nose and, as you know, he has his issues with breathing without a filter. He- he wouldn't let himself breath properly, he wasn't getting enough oxygen... I didn't want to, I didn't know it was still effecting him this much...

Dick: ...oh

Bruce: Oh. Once he's physically better I'll be sure to speak with him about this, about how to help him, but for now... I need him to breath.
