#Inej

[petricorah]

based on this and this [ids in alt]

[ekbelsher]

She was not a lynx or a spider or even the Wraith. She was Inej Ghafa, and her future was waiting above. Climb, Inej. (for the @litjoycrate Six of Crows box set)

“You shouldn’t make friends with crows,” he’d told her.

“Why not?” she asked.

He’d looked up from his desk to answer, but whatever he’d been about to say had vanished on his tongue.

Inej Ghafa from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

[verdiris]

"Two of the deadliest people the Barrel had to offer and they could barely touch each other without both of them keeling over. But they tried. He tried. Maybe they could try again."

[applecidersstuff]

You know what makes Kaz a great boss? What makes him a better boss then both Pekka Rollins and Per Haskel?

He gets to know his crew and basically any people he’s working with. I know it’s basically an opposite of what he says about barrel gangs, but hear me out.

The main reason why Kaz was able to know that Big Bolliger was a traitor is because he knew that Bol was lazy. And knowing what he did in the "Crow club" it would be hard to know if he was lazy or just relaxed while on the job. Kaz knew that he was lazy - he took time to know the guy.

And also the thing that makes Kaz's plans good is that he keeps in mind all his crew's bad habits and vulnerabilities and plots around them. Its really easy to see that if you look at Jesper.

He keeps in mind that Jesper is late and that he can accidentally give up important info. We see that clearly in the beginning of the book. During the “set the wolf free” plan he made sure to tell Jesper the “wrong” time so that he would “be late” and free the animals at the right time. He knew Jesper would(or could) give up info by accident so he took precautions(saying this again: no one arranges an extra ship just to gather in front of it)

And we also have it in the end of CK.

I think both Inej and Jesper had been told the wrong time. Kaz knew that Dunyasha would be there, so he added some time for Inej to fight her. He talks with Jesper about kergud(I have no idea how to spell that, sorry) and also adds time for that fight. He might have actually putted the wyvil it Jespers pocket(as I do not remember Jes actually putting it there, or mb he just made sure it was there).

I mean, it would have been weird if there would be just the sound of one shot fired, but after the siren it would sound better.

When Kaz told Dregs that he won't be their father, he meant it, your father doesn't know you that well, but your sneaky annoying little sibling does.

Daily reminder that Kaz is actually just a teenage boy playing at being this really edgy gang leader when in reality he has the humour of a 13 year old

[maidenofcrows]

Kaz asked her “Is Inej Ghafa your real name?” and in doing so was the first person to recognize her as a human in years

He recognized “she would never be his, not really” and told others who tried to claim her that “she doesn’t belong to anyone”

He took her on as a spider and named her the Wraith. He said that spiders could be squashed. That she needed a fiercer name. I wonder if his motivations in giving her this title lie elsewhere still

He brought her out of a house where she was treated like an object. A thing to be bought and sold and sold and sold and sold. They didn’t call her by her name. She was the Lynx. Viewed as a thing and referred to as an animal.

She became a spider. Perhaps in coming up with the new moniker, Kaz had decided that he would not be one to dehumanize her after the Menagerie. A wraith is still more human than a spider.

more of these but Nina is accidentally in every other one LOL

[mysticmiav]

No mourners, no funerals.

And here are all the pieces together! Drawing these and sharing them with everyone has been such a delight *insert crow emoji*

[red-as-rain]

inej: today kaz held my hand without gloves

inej: but he didn't even notice

inej: and then hours later i was just sitting reading a book

inej: and he bursts in so happy like I HELD YOUR HAND

inej: i mean how do you NOT NOTICE

[nine-is-not-a-ten]

the crows as high school stereotypes

kaz: theater kid

inej: theater kid

nina: theater kid

matthias: theater kid

jesper: theater kid

wylan: theater kid

[ekbelsher]

Kaz and Inej: the bathroom scene. I hope those crazy kids can work it out 🖤

Happy Valentine's Day! (commissioned by @litjoycrate for their special edition Six of Crows book box)

[dragonqueenstormwitch]

i love the way we can see how kaz’s threats/manner of speaking impacts inej’s own language - for example, when she’s kidnapped, she threatens bajan by telling him “you’ll have trouble teaching piano without your fingers.” you can’t tell me that isn’t influenced by kaz “i’ll cut your tongue out and feed it to the first stray cat that i find” brekker and i love it for them

Kaz would drag every one of the crows if they were stabbed during the attack when Inej was, or any other situation that had any of them get hurt.

Sure maybe not during the beginning (and even if it'd be because they were essential to the plan) but he would because that's his fucking family whether he admits it or not.

*Vin diesel voice* And Family is important

HERE ME OUT!

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

Jesper, Kaz is dragging him out of there whether it's Jesper's fault or not. He'll either full on fireman carry that man or support him using his shoulder insulting him with every step.

"You're an idiot for getting stabbed"

"what was I- then why are you helping me?"

"Don't take it personally, you're still in debt to me"

"fuck you"

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

Wylan, Kaz is throwing him over his shoulder or princess carrying him. Wylan does not like it, and somehow with his pain he still manages to voice his displeasure.

"I don't like this"

"you're not the first, nobody likes getting stabbed. I'd be surprised if you did"

"I mean you carrying me bridal style"

"you're dying and you still have the ability to be nitpicky? Pfft- merchants"

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

Nina, Kaz isn't leaving her behind, he's either one, supporting her by the shoulder like Jesper or two, also carrying her in bridal style.

"[slipping in and out of consciousness] huh, expected you to leave me for the dead. Awww you care"

"don't die on me, I swear if I'm carrying you to the ship with my crippled leg just for you to die-"

"how chivalrous of you"

"don't get used to it"

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

Matthias, pfft if you think Kaz is letting that guy go when he can do anything about it you've never been more wrong. Kaz is dragging that giant hunk of a man by any means necessary.

"couldn't let me be at peace could you?"

"I'm a demon, aren't I? Well, hell needs you for a little while longer"

"How are you even supporting me?"

"purely by will power and spite"

[lunarthecorvus]

mind your business she's doing her own thing

[kazbrekkeriselite]

Kaz: Who the fuck added me to a fucking group chat? Inej: >:O language Jesper: Yeah watch your fucking language Wylan: OKAY WHO TAUGHT JESPER THE FUCK WORD? Nina: 'The fuck word'. Mattias: Are you stupid? You guys use the f word all the time Jesper: Oh my god they censored it Nina: Say fuck, Mattias. Jesper: Do it, Mattias. Say fuck.
