episode 3 was iconic

******SPOILERS*******

we got nikolai’s identity reveal like the books

we got alina punching nikolai

then we had the absolute wesper gem of “when i woke up you were gone” + love at first sight when wylan playing the piano

immediately followed by kaz telling inej about his backstory and some crumbs of THE BATHROOM SCENE EXCUSE ME WHAT

and right after that the Dregs fight scene with kaz wacking people with his cane left and right

it had iconic moments from siege and storm, the best scenes from crooked kingdom AND added the wesper bonus like what did we do to deserve such a well written episode

Inej to van eyck

Van Eck and Adolf Hitler secret collab.

There was a painter called Jan Van Eyck and it sounds VERY similar to Jan Van Eck. And I kinda joked with a friend who showed me that Jan Van Eyck's painting and asked "Who knew that Van Eck was a painter?" I replied "He was like Hitler. Wanted to be a painter, happen to be terrible person." Of course, in lore Van Eck isn't a painter, he's a merch. It's just a joke towards fact that painter's name is VERY similar to Wylan's father's one. And Hitler wanted to be a painter, but he didn't get to the painting school he wanted to be in so he started two world wars.

Six of Crows Live Blog - Chapter 43-End

What ship is this, the S.S. Angst?

I can't help but just picture Jan van Eyck sometimes, the painter

You're gonna double-cross Kaz Brekker? Bitch, he practically invented the double-cross! *remembers how the book ends* Ow fuck-

Aww, Kaz is proud of Wylan

"I'm going to get my money. And I'm going to get my girl." Yas king let's go

And there you have it! I'll probably do a live blog for CK at some point, but at the moment my studies are keeping my more than busy. I hope you've all enjoyed this, and I'll see you for the next one😉

This might be a coincidence but I just love how Wylan plays the flute and there’s an actual flutist called Jacob van Eyck in the 16th century

[blessyouhawkeye]

the thing about the shadow and bone show is it's very clear they're not going for a straight adaptation of soc and are basically asking themselves what if questions and writing the answer, which i actually don't have a problem with. like i think the questions "how would wylan and jesper's relationship change if they met before jesper knew wylan was van eyck's son" or "what if kaz got his vengeance on pekka rollins/inej was freed from indenture before the ice court heist" are very interesting, but they're not being given the proper time or attention to be fleshed out and end up feeling rushed and slapped together. and i think the questions presented by those plot lines are interesting too! like i want to see how wesper's relationship will fare against the identity reveal, i want to know if jan van eyck will fill the vengeance hole in kaz's heart and how he'll react to that, i want to know what kanej's dynamic during the ice court heist would look like if the i'll have you without your armour scene had already happened! i think there's really interesting things you can do with that! but i know it won't be explored fully because they won't have the time, and they'll have to find another reason to get the crows to ravka for the season finale. I don't think that adaptations strictly have to adhere to the source material but i do think if major changes are going to be made they should be fully explored, and shadow and bone never does.

i’m very curious to have your opinion on the wesper take this season

since they revisited their whole relationship storyline we won’t get many iconic scenes from the books. even though i love the take i’m curious to know if the wesper fans out there are disappointed or not

BOOK: Jesper Fahey (Six of Crows) - ADHD & Wylan Van Eyck (Six of Crows) - Dyslexia

Illustrations by Bon Orthwick for the Crooked Kingdom special edition.

Jesper Fahey is a Zemeni-born sharpshooter, a member of the Dregs, and one of the protagonists of the Six of Crows duology. He is also a Fabrikator.

Jesper is restless and often anxious, and uses gunfights and gambling to distract himself with an adrenaline rush. When he feels overwhelmed he rests his hands on his pistols to keep from fidgeting. Some of his recklessness likely comes from not using his Fabrikator powers. Jesper's impulsiveness sometimes leads him to make poor decisions, which makes him feel guilty and leads to low self-esteem. [wiki]

Wylan Van Eck is the son of Jan Van Eck and is also one of the protagonists of the Six of Crows duology. He joins the team rescuing Bo Yul-Bayur from the Ice Court because of his knowledge of demolitions and his use as a hostage in negotiating the reward.

Wylan has a curious, contemplative mind, often questioning how things function such as on Jesper's pistols and the Ice Court's aqueduct system. He prefers music and numbers to words, as he cannot read or write because of his dyslexia. Wylan is insecure regarding his disability due to his father's rejection and hatred of him because of his inability to read or write. [wiki]

scrolling through a timeline of the 15th century for book research and being jumpscared by the reminder that jan van eyck was a real person and not just wylan’s horrible dad

[rotzaprachim]

some other possible career paths for the crows: jesper as a teacher for the ten year old ish crowd (has fun socks and suits in all themes a la his icon miss frizzle, plans ludicrously over-the-top fun volcano demonstrations and greek-and-roman toga days, kids LOVE him), nina as an actual literal witch, inej and matthias as firefighter bros (inej loves the firehouse pole and axing doors down, matthias loves introducing field trip groups to Spots the Firehouse Dog), Nina as a sex ed teacher, wylan as a constantly beleaguered IT guy trying to tell shouty corporate dudes they just need to turn their laptops off and on again. kaz is always just some guy who runs a bar with a sticky floor
