#also fuck van eck <3< /div>

Text
honestly i feel like one of the most underrated moments of the kaz & nina friendship is when nina is pretending to be johannus rietveld's heartrender assistant for the auction job and they meet with van eck in the geldrenner.
basically after van eck told colm he'd confirm the "investment" of the jurda fields with the merchant council for kuwei's auction, van eck addresses nina and asks her about her involvement with the dregs. nina then asks van eck about wylan's "kidnapping" and then proceeds to throw the shadiest insult at van eck (that is very iconic of her btw):
like, even though nina finds kaz infuriating and inmoral and has threatened him a couple times, we also see that she cares for him and also respects him a lot, even if she doesn't give a flying fuck about his opinion.
nina literally (though subtlely) calls van eck an idiot and shades him for having crossed kaz and i really love moments like this that show the mutual respect nina & kaz hold for each other in spite of their rocky relationship.
(take also as a supporting point when, in the sweet reef job when nina is cornered by the dime lions, she begins negotiating with them to buy inej time, and she tells them that if they wanted her to go with them they had to go find a way where kaz wouldn't go after her; yes she was bluffing but she's absolutely right: one does not cross kaz brekker and people who do it (insert van eck) are complete idiots)

"Kaz is Wylan's dad" "Inej is the mom of the group" "Matthias is like their grandpa" can you just let characters care for each other without trying to force it into a weirdly normative nuclear family setup.
#'i love found family' found family is about creating a loving environment with the kind of support you didn't get/dont have from a#traditional family setting because that setting has failed you not about taking a group of people who care for each other and forcing them#to exactly recreate that setting#it's about not confirming to the traditional family narrative! thats the whole point! not just recreating it with non bio-related people#the whole point is that family is more than just a heterosexual couple and their 2.5 kids. not that you should replicate that setup with#new people#also in this case specifically a lot of the time its used to perpetuate ableism and other fucked up stereotypes so like. maybe dont.#six of crows#wylan van eck#inej ghafa#kaz brekker#matthias helvar#nina zenik#jesper fahey#soc#they're also literally all within the same 3 year age range#also i know a grandparent is technically not part of a nuclear family but my point stands

Random SOC Trivia I Gathered On My Reread
I'll be using this for fics, but it's fun just to read!
Jesper does not hold alcohol well (though this is according to Kaz, who is not exactly impartial)
Wijnstraat, Nemstraat, Havenstraat, Ammberstraat are all street names if you want em
Van Eck has been involved in trying to clean up the Barrel; pious. (Allegedly pious, I doubt he really is)
1/5 Van Eck (or general Kerch trading?) vessels are lost at sea
Kaz arrested three times at ten, twice at eleven, once at fourteen. Does stints in jail but it does not say prison (ppl assume he's been to Hellgate / another prison but I don't think so. He'd never have shut the fuck up about it if he had; I assume the Stadhall Jail)
Kaz's cane is lead-lined. I wasn't sure if this was canon or fanon
Kaz runs book on prize fights, horses, and chance games. Floor boss at crow club since fifteen-ish. Youngest to run a betting shop and has doubled the profits.
Gambling halls: Treasure Chest, Golden Bend, Weddell's Riverboat, Silver Garter
West Stave brothels: The Blue Iris, The Forge, The Obscura, the Willow Switch, the House of Snow
Van Aakster is the widow mercher who sees Nina to ease his grief
Inej likes orange cakes in white paper
Black Tips tattoo is a hand with first and second fingers cut at the knuckle, Razorgulls is 5 birds in wedge formation
Nina Jesper and Kaz definitely all have the crow and cup; the others don't
Jordie seems to like books
ridderspel and spijker are arcade games
Bilge, clams, and wet stone smell in the Barrel (per Retvenko)
Kaz definitely is partial to dogs; Smeet's hounds and the grey dog the Hertzoon household had, the windup dogs, the metaphors. He loves a dog metaphor sorry ur not real babycakes you'd have loved thematic web weaving posts
Geldspin is the cotton mill in Zierfoort, Firma Allerbest is a cannery. Both in Alys' name
Wylan was 8 when Marya 'died'
the black veil tomb is carved like an ancient cargo ship
3 flying fish on a grave: government. Palm trees and snakes: spices.
Inej's mother braids her hair with orange ribbons (colour of persimmons)
University a series of buildings built around the Boekcanal and joined by Speaker's Bridge (where people debate and/or drink). Boeksplein four libraries built around a central courtyard and the Scholar's Fountain
Shipping container at third harbour is a Liddie hideout; Jam Tart House is an old hotel near the slat that the Razorgulls use
Long scar across Kaz's right knuckle
Violating contracts and interfering with the market can get you hanged in Kerch; same sentences as for murder (this is. Insane)
Haskell holds court with his mates at the Fair Weather Inn every week
Belendt is the second oldest Kerch city and sits on the Droombeld River
Jesper was 7 when Aditi died
Inej has an uncle (who seems to have some sort of ringmaster role) and cousins; Hanzi and Asha
Kaz convinced a locksmith in Klokstraat that he was the son of a wealthy merchant who highly valued his collection of priceless snuffboxes, and that's how he knows what locks the rich are using
Hubrecht Mohren, Master Thief of Pijl, who Kaz doesn't appear to think much of; one of Haskell's old cronies
Martin Van Eck, Wylan's great great grandfather, was a ship's captain, brought back a big shipment of spices from Eames Chin and started the Van Eck fortune
Kaz and Jesper (+ other Dregs boys) taught Inej to fight
Kaz and Jordie are from a town near Lij, as per the 'Johannus Rietveld' exposition, but Lij is seemingly the closest major city/county so it's easier to just say they're from Lij lol
The last time the Council of Tides appeared in public was 25 years prior to CK
Kaz found Filip running a monte game on Kelstraat; he also got the clerks who turned over fake info, the fake attorney, the man who gave them free hot chocolate
The spelling of Zentzbridge lapses to Zentsbridge, not sure which is right or if they're actually separate bridges or if there's a lot of wrong quotes floating around lol
Dryden house symbol is the golden wheat sheaf bound with a blue ribbon; Van Eck is the red laurel but we knew that
Kaz taught himself finance and gambling hall rules
Church of Barter roof is copper and long has turned green
Church of Barter built around the First Forge / The Mortar, which is a flat lump of rock that's supposedly Ghezen's altar
Ghezendaal Hospital is. Idk. a hospital. Just thought ppl might want the name

13 please!! <3
Hello friend, thanks for playing!
13. “I’ve never felt this way before, and I’m terrified.”
When everything is over, once the dust has started to settle, Jesper finally gets a moment alone with Wylan. Nina and Matthias have left, floating away on a canal boat to join the boat full of refugees heading back to Ravka, taking Colm with them. Inej slipped into the night shortly thereafter, Kaz along with her, neither of them saying a word.
The Van Eck mansion is hauntingly quiet.
Jesper returns to the now-deserted parlour with two mugs of tea, finding Wylan curled up in an armchair by the sofa, staring blankly into the fire.
“Hey,” he says as softly as he can, but Wylan startles anyway. “You okay?”
Wylan shrugs and takes the tea offered to him. “I don’t know. It doesn’t feel real.”
Placing his mug on the coffee table, Jesper settles on the floor by Wylan’s feet. “I know what you mean.”
“I just… I have no idea what to do now,” Wylan murmurs. He doesn’t glance up from his mug, looking so sad and young in that moment that Jesper wishes, not for the first time, that he could magically make everything better.
“We’ll figure it out together, okay? You and me.”
Wylan tugs his lower lip between his teeth. “Did you mean what you said?” Finally looking up at Jesper, the composure that he’s been clinging to all day seems to crack. His next words are barely above a whisper. “That you’ll stay?”
“Wylan…” Jesper rises onto his knees so he can cup Wylan’s face with one hand. “Of course I did. I love you, and I want to be with you.” He hesitates, heart stuttering in his chest. “I’ve never felt this way before, and I won’t lie and say I’m not fucking terrified, because I am. But I’ve also never been more sure of anything in my life.”
The smile Wylan offers him in return is watery, but still wonderful. “I love you so much.”

Hi! I ended up reading through Choas Plan in pretty much two days (your writing is actually phenomenal) but I was actually curious on your inspirations to write it? Did it come from any other particular works or maybe episodes from sp?
WHAT NO WAY😭😭😭😭😭😭WHAT THE HELL THAT'S SO NICE HOLY SHIT THANK YOU SO MUCH <33333
You can't just ask me shit like that dude I will respond with a huge fucking essay I LOVE questions like that!!!!
I honestly have several inspirations, many come from the show itself and some I've drawn from cyber crime documentaries and books I like (namely the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo, you might recognize the scene with Mysterion and Harris in chapter 3 is very VERY similar to the one between Kaz and Jan Van Eck at the beginning of the book), but if you've read the notes in the fic you might have seen that the story idea was initially born when I was playing TFBW.
The Idea
The U-Stor-It scene where Butters/Chaos locks the C**n and Friends in the facility and talks to them through a screen was just so fascinating to me, it reminded me a lot of Jinx from Arcane and the Joker in The Dark Knight (especially because of the flashy decorations and graffiti). Mainly the story evolved from the question I posed to myself in that moment, which was: "What needs to happen for Butters to become someone like Jinx?" and that's how I started brainstorming the backstory.
The Backstory
Obviously that was inspired mainly by Linda's behavior in Butters' Very Own Episode, but it features elements from stuff all over the series and the games that prove just how fucked up Butters' parents are and treat him.
(Remember when in TFBW he mentioned that they bought an electronic lock system to keep him in his room because he left the bathroom once while grounded? yeah, that convinced me Butters' home life probably would only get worse with the years, especially with him entering his teens & puberty, and Post Covid honestly just confirmed that.)
The Villain/Hero Concept
I hadn't yet watched much more of South Park than up until seasons 15/16 so I didn't know about Post Covid's Vic Chaos yet, I mostly just wanted to do something with Mysterion and Chaos that had a darker and serious tone without either of them having any Marvel-esque powers or tech-organizations aiding them, something closer to the South Park lore at hand and realistic enough to feel like it could happen in our world.
Chaos' Methods
With Butters having a knack for Internet-related shit and him being able to hack into a baseball stadium screen to broadcast his evil plans in the Professor Chaos episode, and ofc his whole thing in TFBW and the episode of him becoming a pimp, I figured he has the stuff to be a hacker and entrepreneur.
I started getting spoilered a lot on the whole Vic Chaos and NFT scammer thing so even though I hadn't watched Post Covid I drew a lot of inspiration from that as well. I've been watching a lot of documentaries on Cryptocurrency scams and other cyber crime related stuff, so yeah all that shit also gets my brain generating a bunch of ideas as well.
Mysterion
As for Kenny/Mysterion's side of the story- I'm a huge fan of the "criminal who gets paid by a shitty pig/capitalist who would normally never hire them to take on a job" concept in Six of Crows, so that's how I got Harris involved, later further fueled by his Thin White Line arc in TFBW.
The way Kenny used his death powers in the C**n & Friends episodes I found very intriguing, and I absolutely LOVE playing around with them, so I included my own interpretation & spin of it as an active "superpower" he uses in order to be successful enough as a vigilante to be taken seriously. His canon powers separate him from your average humanbeing. It's a way to show the audience "hey look, Kenny really is just some guy, but also no one else could take on this role, ever. He may not have super strength or speed or money for equipment backing him, but he can get into places and out like no other person ever."
Coming up with a kryptonite-type weakness was also super fun, because I didn't want things to just be too easy. Mainly it's his need to remain anonymous, but the biggest reason for that need is because he needs to keep up his ability to financially support Karen. That, I obviously got from the show-, namely episodes like Mysterion Rises, The Poor Kid and City Part of Town, but his dynamic with Karen got increasingly more interesting and influenced in the fic after I played the TFBW DLC From Dusk Til Casa Bonita. The fact that he's so obsessed with keeping her safe the best way he knows how but completely overlooks to consider letting her have a say in it, is absolutely delicious. Like fuck yes, let's go complicate these character relationships (rubs hands evilly)
TL;DR
Inspirations come from all over, but of course the main ones do come from the show and games. Kenny and Butters have always been increasingly fascinating characters to me the more I watched the show, so the fact that Kenny canonically is the only kid Butters respects (source: s16, Ep "Going Native"), to an extent that in the future Butters funded his entire career, I thought had a shit ton of potential. Hence their friendship in the fic before "the incident", and the way Butters goes about Kenny now that he's taking over the town >:)))
Thank you SO SO MUCH for the ask!!!! I hope I didn't ramble too much for what you actually wanted to know, but I just absolutely love sharing my inspirations for this fic. Really gets my brain go brrrrr heheheh I'm so so grateful that this interests you <33333

Things we can still get in a possible SoC Spin-off
now that i'm done ranting about the things that annoyed me, lets talk about this.
1: Some light on Inej's backstory, the abuse and exploitation she suffered, her own struggles with touch, her vulnerable side, her fun side especially when she's around Jesper and Nina, her fears and how she rises above them. According to this article by tvguide, showrunner Eric Heisserer states that a script has already been written about her incorporation back into the Dregs. Let's just hope they stop reducing Inej's personality to a mere “knife wife” and “girlboss” , and address her actual depth.
2: Tante Heleen's return! Since we never actually see her body onscreen and her death is merely mentioned twice and shrugged off, I'm hoping she's alive and that the production team is keeping her for the spin-off. She's an integral part of Inej's character arc.
3: The Dregs. I wanna see Rotty, Specht, Anika, Pim, Per Haskell, Big Bolliger and the rest of the bunch. Also Dime Lions, Razorgulls, The Liddies, and other prominent gangs. And a shot of the entire Merchant Council would be nice.
4: Since Inej will return and Matthias is still in Hellgate, we'll get the entire Hellgate breakout and Ice Court Heist. (I'm assuming during Matthias's breakout, Pekka Rollins will also manage to escape from Hellgate 🤔) So we can still have the entire book 1 ending at Vellgeluk where Wylan's face has been tailored and Inej gets captured by Van Eck.
5: Crooked Kingdom plotline till they rescue Inej— Kaz throwing off a rapist from the lighthouse after gaining intel, Kaz threatening a little girl, Jesper and Wylan going to receive Colm Fahey and the whole “people pointing guns at each other is basically a handshake” 😂, Nina's struggles with Parem and Matthias trying his best to be there for her, the iconic Kanej reunion at Goedmedbridge,..
I'm not sure how they'll proceed after retrieving Inej, because alot has already been adapted in this season of SaB. But we'll still have the showdown against Van Eck. Not sure what they'll replace the plague thing with but we'll see..
6: Wylan's backstory! Aside from Inej, we also have Wylan's heart wrenching backstory and we'll witness it all. His early life, the moment he lost his mother and his world became gray, his escape from the men who try to kill him, his realization that they were sent by his own father, his struggles with it all, his conflict with being a good person and working with criminals, his reunion with his very alive mother and Jesper being there for him, and so much more..
7: Kuwei! I'm a big fan of this sassy boy. He absolutely hates having to be with Crows and he chooses not to use their language simply so he can avoid conversations with them 😭 We'll see him cause conflict in Wesper's relationship but also slowly accepting and being thankful of the Crows. And I really hope, the show adds a sort of camaraderie between him and Wylan too. But despite it all, I still wanna see Wylan threaten to drown him 😆
8: The Bathroom Scene ♡ If we take into consideration the wound cleaning moment in season 2 of SaB, its a lot different from the bathroom scene. For starters, they're on Black Veil and not an actual bathroom, and Kaz didn't actually tie any bandages for her. Most importantly, the neck kiss didn't happen. So bathroom scene can still happen and it can serve as a beautiful callback and a parallel to this scene in season 2.
9: Kaz can still find Inej's parents, meet them and well, gift her a ship. Wylan and Jesper can still have their happily ever after, living at the Van Eck Mansion.
10: Since they've made so many changes to the source, can they fucking not kill off Matthias and let him and Nina have their happily ever after too? Like they can act as delegates for Ravka and Fjerda 🤔 Or they can help Hanne claim the Fjerdan throne 🤔 Anything aside from killing him off please.
if you guys have something to add or correct me on, please do so in replies/reblogs ☺

My Problem With The Crows
Imma be fr, and some of y’all gonna think I’m tripping but Six of Crows should’ve never been merged with Shadow and Bone.
I love the crows. My favorite character in the entire show is Jesper and I genuinely think the Six of Crows duology is better than the Shadow and Bone trilogy. Everything about it was better to me. When I finished the S&B trilogy, I was happy. When I finished the SOC duology, I was sad because it was over. I was gonna miss my little pookie bears. That’s why it irritates me how their story is sped up in the show.
I get it. The show is called Shadow and Bone, so the story is mainly gonna focus on Alina. My thing is, why bring the crows if you couldn’t put a bunch of focus on them? Their story feels so rushed sometimes and I was honestly thrown off at some points. I feel like it doesn’t entirely work because the books take place years after Alina destroys the fold, so the things they do may not connect with her story. Season 1 they didn’t do much besides Nina and Matthias. They want Alina, they fail, they assist in a fight, that’s it. In season 2 Matthias stays in jail the entire time because they couldn’t do the actual plot of SOC because it’d be extremely rushed. Or maybe they didn’t do it so it didn’t take away attention from the S&B plot. To be honest, when I found out they were merging S&S and R&R, I wasn’t a huge fan. I was gonna say that if they spread it out, the ice court job could’ve been season 2 and Crooked Kingdom could’ve been season 3, but how much time passed in the books? In SOC Matthias has been in prison for at least a year I believe. That’s another problem, the timing has to match Alina’s story. They can’t do too much.
Also I didn’t like that Jesper and Wylan got together. I don’t mean this because I don’t think they’re cute. I love those two, but they get together towards the end of Crooked Kingdom. Them getting together so soon felt rushed and unnecessary. I guess they have the excuse of “oh, well they met before. They slept together” but lust and love are two completely different things. They had time to build up to this in the books. They’re cute in the show, but it don’t feel the same. The flirting, the teasing, the tension, the jealousy, I just feel like it would hit more if they weren’t together yet.
Also Pekka? In Crooked Kingdom, that man was a menace. How is he gonna be a menace if he’s locked up like Akon? He was a free man doing wild shit. He and Fuck Ass Van Eck turned Ketterdamn against the crows. Now I’m sure they’ll find a work around, but why do any of that when we could’ve just did the actual story? And honestly, I was shocked Kaz actually told Inej about his brother. Since we’re on that though, him defeating Pekka was so satisfying because we hated Pekka since SOC. We don’t know why Kaz can’t stand him in the first season, I’m pretty sure we find out in SOC but I could be wrong. I still think his downfall shouldn’t have been immediate.
It’s late and I got shit to do tomorrow so imma leave it here but I genuinely think they should’ve gotten their own show so they had proper pacing and time to shine. They shine even now but their own show would’ve ate.

I really do hope we get a season 3 of Shadow & Bone with the Ice Court job or a Crows spin-off I’m not picky, because I NEED show!Jesper’s reaction to finding out that Wylan’s sperm donor keeps sending him weekly letters to taunt him about being illiterate
Jesper was pissed enough in the books when he found out, and they weren’t even together at that point
I also need the natural conclusion of that particular subplot, where Jesper looks Van Eck in the eye and promises, “I’ll read to him.”
It’s not often that a character so perfectly captures ‘fuck you’ to one character while simultaneously saying ‘i love you’ to another character, but Jesper NAILED it with those four words.

please please i love author's commentery
oh HAPPILY 🥰 i'll try and do these after each chapter (or at least periodically) because i think they're really fun
author's commentary: sugar (ch1-3)
the entire fic was meant to be a one shot of what is now the first scene of the fic (wylan getting pulled up at security for You Know What)
i wrote it because i was taking a flight for the first time post-lockdown & was mad anxious and thought, "hey what'll make me feel better? putting wylan van eck in Situations"
it has since grown to about 100k words so you know. really succeeded on the "one shot" front
but yeah the fic was going to go "hijinks at security > they flirt on the plane > wylan eventually offers jesper a holiday to which jesper thinks he's being offered a sugaring gig > the misunderstanding comes out when they're on a plane & wylan is like 'no i just liked you' > they fuck on a plane". except then it spiralled into "wait what if they actually do just have a sugaring gig"
i made wylan the heir to a sugar empire because sugar baby and also the sugar silos in CK, except having read CK since jan is obviously not actually an agriculturist, he's just a fuckin landlord, so that isn't ENTIRELY seamless but i still like the connection
there was a whole scene i had to cut in the second chapter of some rich jackass being a dipshit to jesper while he worked first because there was no universe in which jesper is good enough at customer service to manage the situation in a way that wouldn't derail the entire fic
there is half of a bonus ficlet about this line in chapter 3 because it comes back later in the fic, and i will have more to say when it does 👀

You know that feeling when you are like 3 pages into a book, know basically nothing about any of the characters beyond the barest introduction, yet already know exactly which one is going to fuck you up and have you fixated for the foreseeable future? All this to say I just read The Secret History and I knew before he’d even spoken that Francis Fucking Abernathy was going to break me and god was I right. I just shouldn’t be allowed to read books with sad gay redheads it removes almost the entire question of who my favourite is going to be, it’s just embarrassing at this point (examples include most notably Wylan Van Eck and Maedhros. Also honourable mention for Kaz Brecker and Feanor absolutely calling my immediate Henry Winter Apologist tendencies)

Disabled Characters in the Showdown Currently
Notes:
1.) This list is subject to change, so if you see it off a reblog, please check the link to this post here. At some point this will probably stop updating, as we tend to forget to. Before we kick off the showdown there will be another post. Characters are under the cut, the list is currently unorganized, but might get organized later.
2.) If you see a character on here and you want to submit propaganda for them please feel free to, there is no submission limit or character per fandom limit. Here is the link to the submission form. Characters from the prior round of this showdown are fair game except Toph, Toothless and Hiccup. Additionally, most characters from @gay-disabled-characters-showdown are also fair game.
3.) The amount of submissions will not affect how likely a character is to get into the showdown. If you submitted a character and they are not here, we probably just haven’t gotten to verifying your character yet. If it’s been more than 3-4 days since you submitted the character you can shoot us an ask as to why they are not on the list, it might be an error on our part.
4.) When will submissions close? We have no fucking clue. At the earliest sometime October, as we are still working on setting up over @gay-disabled-characters-showdown which is still accepting submissions here. Additionally, as we need to write image descriptions it takes us a ridiculous amount of time to get set up.

Breaking the Ice - Chapter 3
Pairing: Wylan van Eck x Jesper Fahey Summary: “I’m not gonna sugarcoat anything for him. That’s no use.” Nina placed her hand on top of Matthias’s. “No, you’re right. Doesn’t do any good to lie to me.” “You’re in luck because you have the best physiotherapist you can get.” “I know and I’m thankful already.” Nina had helped many of his teammates with injuries, but other people as well. One of them being Wylan van Eck. Everyone had talked about it, because the injury had happened before a big event about two years ago. He’d been hit by a car, possibly a drunk driver, but the driver hadn’t been found. It had been really tragic and while Jesper didn’t know the details of his injuries, he knew that he’d been in hospital for a while, even in critical condition at first. “You see how well Wylan moves on the ice again, and his injuries were worse than yours. Not that I want to compare them, but just to give you an outlook on this.” And here they were, talking about Wylan. A topic that still confused Jesper a little bit, but the only one who knew what had happened, was Matthias, and he’d sworn to not tell Nina anything.
Warning/Tags: POV Jesper Fahey, POV Wylan van Eck, Alternate Universe - Hockey, Alternate Universe - Figure skating, Hockey Coach Kaz Brekker, injuries, Jan van Eck is the scum of the Earth, sexual content, implied child abuse A/N: It's Friday, and this means Chapter 3. Chapter 4 will be posted next Thursday because of MagicCon 💚
Read on AO3
One month later
Before Jesper even opened his eyes, he heard beeping noises and it smelled very strange, yet in a way familiar. When he tried to push himself up, he couldn’t really do that, and he also felt this pain in his head, making him groan. Now, he slowly opened his eyes, but closed them immediately again. It was way too bright wherever he was and it burned in his eyes.
“Hey, stay down, Jes,” Matthias said next to him, and he could feel his hand against his upper arm.
“Where am I?” Jesper asked, already having this gut feeling, but he needed to hear it to believe it. It felt like his head was wrapped in cotton, and Matthias’s voice sounded further away than he probably really was.
“At the hospital. You went into the boards really hard last night.”
“Last night?” Oh fuck. Ohhhhh fuck. That didn’t sound good. He’d hit his head before, and he’d even been at the hospital to get all that checked, but that he’d been out for a few hours - he didn’t know what time of day it was after all - wasn’t a good sign.
“Yeah, we played against the Belendt Barons. Do you remember?”
“I think so.” Jesper thought back, tried to concentrate, but it wasn’t that easy. He remembered the first period, remembered the goal he’d scored, the intermission and the second period was kind of a blur. “First period yes, but then… nothing really.”
“I don’t know but you seemed a little absent again last night and your movements were… clunky and reckless at the same time. You should have seen the guy coming, but it was almost like you were looking in his direction, but didn’t see him, I don’t know.”
Oh… he had been a little distracted for a moment, because he’d thought he’d seen Wylan in the crowd. Ever since their little moment in the elevator, he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him, no matter how much he wanted to. But he hadn’t heard from him or seen him around the arena - and frankly, he didn’t know how he would react if he did see him. That probably depended on how Wylan would behave. Jesper had kept thinking about why Wylan had left him standing there like this, but he hadn’t really found an answer. It was more than okay if Wylan had changed his mind back then, if he hadn’t wanted to do anything more, and Jesper would have told him exactly that, if he’d only had the chance. So, maybe, they could resolve this, talk about it when they met again sometime, because they definitely would meet again, he was sure of that, since they were both more or less working at the ice-rink.
Jesper had also realised that he’d been playing differently the last month, not as focussed as he used to play. Then there was the whole last year that had also been… different. He’d realised it himself, but he didn’t know how to change it.
“He apologised a thousand times, but honestly, we can’t blame him completely.”
“I know,” Jesper admitted, the memories coming back. Body Checks were normal in the game, and it hadn’t been the first time he’d been checked into the boards. It happened, he’d done that to other people as well, but the other had thought Jesper would move, instead he’d just stood there.
“He hit you at a bad angle, though.”
“Spill it.” Now, Jesper managed to open his eyes and looked over at his captain and friend.
“Concussion obviously, a bad one at that, because you hit your head very hard on the boards and then the ice. Dislocated your right knee, and your tibia is broken.”
“Fucking hell…” That meant that he’d be out for a couple of weeks, missing a bunch of games. He wouldn’t even be able to travel with the team at first. Only when he was allowed to move around, and he didn’t know how strict they would be. How strict Kaz would be. He’d definitely make sure that Jesper stayed at the hospital as long as he needed to, and that he wouldn’t overdo it at home as well. Speaking of Kaz, he had no idea how he would react when they talked for the first time after this.
“How is…” Jesper trailed off, not wanting to ask after his coach, but in a way he needed to know.
“Kaz? He was the first one on the ice to look after you, even before the medics.” Matthias smiled to himself, rubbing a hand over his beard. Ever since Nina had told him that it looked good on him, he hadn’t shaved it off. “He won’t admit it, but he was really worried. Still is probably. And we had to hold him back from the guy. He’ll still give you shit for this.”
“I know.” At least, Jesper managed to smile now. The situation was shit, no doubt about it, but thanks to the pain medication they’d given him, he wasn't feeling it that much.
There was a knock on the door and Jesper looked up towards it, when he saw Nina enter. He couldn’t stop himself from smiling, because it was sweet that she was here, whether it was because of him or Matthias didn’t really matter. She was here for both of them in fact, since over the last month, Jesper had gotten to know her better privately as well, when Matthias had invited him over for dinner or other things.
“Hey, how are you feeling?” she asked and walked up to his bed. Matthias immediately reached for her hand to hold it, but then he pulled her closer so she could sit in his lap and stay close to Jesper as well.
“Bit of a headache, but apart from that I think that they made sure to give me enough of the pain meds.” He managed another smile, but felt his concentration waver a little bit. He’d been out for a good while, but everything seemed to be exhausting, and the medication was doing its part as well.
“Good. You’ll need them.”
“Nina,” Matthias chastised her, letting go of her hand to wrap his arm around her middle.
“I’m not gonna sugarcoat anything for him. That’s no use.” She placed her hand on top of Matthias’s.
“No, you’re right. Doesn’t do any good to lie to me.” Jesper had known right from the moment he’d heard what had happened, that it wouldn’t be nice. He’d had fractured bones before and concussions as well, but the combination of both with the dislocated knee, that was something new, and Nina had seen all kinds of injuries so far.
“You’re in luck because you have the best physiotherapist you can get.”
“I know and I’m thankful already.”
Nina had helped many of his teammates with injuries, but other people as well. One of them being Wylan van Eck. Everyone had talked about it, because the injury had happened before a big event about two years ago. He’d been hit by a car, possibly a drunk driver, but the driver hadn’t been found. It had been really tragic and while Jesper didn’t know the details of his injuries, he knew that he’d been in hospital for a while, even in critical condition at first. Nina must know more, but it wasn’t her position to tell him anything - and he probably wouldn’t hear it from Wylan.
“You see how well Wylan moves on the ice again, and his injuries were worse than yours. Not that I want to compare them, but just to give you an outlook on this.”
And here they were, talking about Wylan. A topic that still confused Jesper a little bit, but the only one who knew what had happened, was Matthias, and he’d sworn to not tell Nina anything. So far, he’d kept quiet, because it wasn’t his story to tell, and Jesper really appreciated it. It was something between Wylan and him, but he’d had to talk to someone about it at least, see if he was missing anything, But Matthias had been a little confused as well, that Wylan had left him standing there and hadn’t tried to talk to Jesper, explain anything at all later on.
“If I can move like him when I’m better, I won’t be complaining. He really is a vision on the ice.” He’d said that before, but by now he knew that he was a vision off the ice as well, and easily captured all of his attention, which was rare, because Jesper’s mind was usually all over the place.
“He is. And he’s a really wonderful person as well. He even asked me how you were, because he knows I’m here.” Nina smiled softly, pulling her phone out of her pocket. “I told him I’d text him when I find out something new.”
“Wylan asked about me?” Now, that was rather surprising, and Jesper couldn’t deny that his heart skipped a little beat upon hearing this.
“Yes, he was at the rink and watched the game.”
So he hadn’t imagined seeing him, which was on the one hand a relief, on the other, it meant that Wylan had seen this play out live. Great. He hadn’t expected Wylan to worry about him and ask for him like this. Well, if he wasn’t talking to Jesper, it was nice to know that he talked to Nina about him apparently.
“I thought I’d seen him there, but I wasn’t sure.” Jesper admitted, but he wouldn’t tell them that this had been right before he’d gotten knocked down. That would definitely send the wrong message to them, and it wasn’t Wylan’s fault after all. Someone could make it out to look like that at least. Not Matthias and Nina, because they weren’t the kind of people.
“He comes to a lot of games actually. No matter that he didn’t pursue a career in hockey, but he’s still a fan of the game.” Nina shrugged her shoulders, still smiling, but then she looked down at her phone to type a quick message to Wylan to let him know that Jesper had woken up.
“Do you need anything here? Can I bring you some stuff from home?” Matthias asked. He had a key for Jesper’s apartment for emergencies - or when Jesper forgot his keys at home again - so he would be able to get some stuff for him without a problem.
“Some clothes I guess, my phone charger… And maybe one of the books in the living room.” He hadn’t had time to read ever since their training had started up properly again, then the games, but something told him that he might get the chance to do that here and now. After all, he wouldn’t be going home tomorrow, maybe in a couple of days.
“Not a problem.”
“And I should call my Dad.” Oh God, he’d probably seen the game on TV. In fact, Jesper was sure that he’d seen it, because Colm Fahey watched every single game his son played. He’d been there in his school days, and he’d even travelled to Ketterdam a couple of times to watch him play here. And then there were the games closer to him, that he rarely missed, unless he couldn’t get away from the farm.
“I talked to him on the phone and kept him updated, but I told him that you’d call when you’re up.” Jesper knew that he could always count on Matthias, and he thanked him for that.
When the doctor came in, Matthias and Nina said their goodbyes, telling Jesper that they’d come by the next day again, probably with Kaz on their heels. Matthias promised to let Kaz know how he was doing, so he didn’t sneak his way past the hospital staff to get to Jesper’s room. Right now, he really needed some rest and some food, as he realised, because all of a sudden, he felt rather famished.
The doctor didn’t tell him much more than what the other two had already told him. They’d keep him here for a couple of days to monitor him, see how well he was dealing with his concussion, see if he had any more issues apart from the headache. Jesper knew all the things that could come with a concussion, and he had to admit that this was what he was most afraid of. That’s he’d have recurring headaches, could be sensitive to bright light, have trouble concentrating - more than he already had - and stuff like that. His bones would heal and as it seemed without a problem, since they had taken care of his leg, so as long as he listened to their instructions, it should be fine. For Jesper, it wasn’t that easy to keep still, not move around that much, but he’d try his best.
Once he was done with his food and could relax a little, he reached for his phone. For a moment, he hesitated, but then he pulled up his Dad’s contact and called him. He needed to talk to him, and his Dad also needed to hear his voice, know that he was alright, and not just hear it from Matthias.
“Jes?” his father answered on the other side, sounding hopeful, because it could be Matthias calling from his phone as well, and Jesper squeezed his eyes shut. He wasn’t going to cry, but he felt a little relieved upon hearing his father’s voice.
“Hi Dad,” he said, but had to clear his throat when he realised how hoarse his voice sounded. “Matthias told me that he kept you updated, but I wanted to talk to you myself.”
“How are you holding up, son?”
“Alright, I guess.” It wasn’t a lie, because considering the circumstances, he was doing alright. He was pissed at himself for being so distracted that this had happened. “Gonna be here for a couple of days and then I can hopefully go home.”
“Time will fly, and you’ll be out there before you know it. And what happens then?”
“I’ll have to be careful at first, not walk around that much and if I do, with crutches. They suggest a wheelchair for the first two weeks, but that’s not gonna be easy all by myself.” He had to think of something, maybe hire someone apart from Sofia who came once a week to clean the apartment. “I’ll figure something out.”
“I could come and stay with you, if you want,” his father suggested, and it was something Jesper hadn’t really thought about.
“But… what about the farm?”
“I’ll work something out. Or you could come here, get some peace and quiet, and you won’t worry about me abandoning the farm.”
Jesper thought for a moment about this, because it came as a surprise. He’d been wanting to see his Dad, and while his injury wasn’t anything he’d wished for, a little timeout at the farm where he’d grown up sounded like a good way to clear his head, and at the same time, he knew that his father would make sure that he wouldn’t overdo it in any way.
“That sounds like a great idea, if it’s not too much for you.
“I’d love to have you here, so it’s definitely not too much. Do you need me to pick you up?”
“You don’t have to drive all the way here only to pick me up. I’ll figure something out, don’t worry.”
“Alright. Go get some sleep now. You sound exhausted.”
Jesper could hear his father’s smile in his voice, and it was such a relief that he managed a smile of his own as well.
“I will. Thanks Dad. For everything.” Not just the phone call and the possibility to stay with him for some time, but for everything he’d done for Jesper and continued to do for him.

ADHD vs Autism Bracket: Summary (Round 1)
Round 1 has officially come to a close, with some outcomes that really surprised me!!
Despite sweeping so many polls before mine, Kris and Susie fucking DIED? Right off the bat. But maybe that just goes to show how iconic Phineas and Ferb are, there is truly nothing neurotypical going on in that show.
Another surprise to me was the Ink!Sans and Error!Sans VS Cuphead and Mugman matchup. Although the former received 20+ nominations and Cuphead less than 10, this ratio flipped the other way when it came to the actual polling!
Many of my personal blorbos have fallen in battle </3 Aja and Krel barely stood a chance, but having them has been a pleasure. I am once again recommending 3Below! I was also surprised by the number of polls in Side B that nearly got 50/50, but all the winning duos managed to scrape by even if it was just by 2-3%
Going forward, Side A and Side B polls will go live at the same time. Round 2 will probably begin on Friday (to give myself time to update the graphics) and will be posted around the same time of day as Round 1.
Under the cut is the updated bracket and the duos that will be going head-to-head in Round 2. The pinned post will also be updated with this information:
Side A
Matchup 1: BTW Creature & TBH Creature (The Internet) VS Wylan van Eck & Jesper Fahey (Six of Crows)
Matchup 2: Keith Kogane & Lance McClain (Voltron: Legendary Defender) VS Gomez Addams & Morticia Addams (The Addams Family)
Matchup 3: Aaron Mitchell & Katie Mitchell (The Mitchells vs. the Machines) VS Dewey Duck & Huey Duck (Ducktales)
Matchup 4: Gideon Nav & Harrowhark Nonagesimus (The Locked Tomb) VS Jay Walker & Zane (Lego Ninjago)
Matchup 5: Luz Noceda & Hunter Noceda (The Owl House) VS Kyan Reki & Hasegawa Langa (SK8 The Infinity)
Matchup 6: Phineas Flynn & Ferb Fletcher (Phineas and Ferb) VS Luca Paguro & Alberto Scorfano (Luca)
Matchup 7: Tommy Coolatta & Benrey (Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware) VS Zuko & Sokka (Avatar the Last Airbender)
Matchup 8: Ty Blackthorn & Kit Herondale (The Dark Artifices) VS Reigen Arataka & Kageyama "Mob" Shigeo (Mob Psycho 100)
Side B
Matchup 1: Percy Jackson & Annabeth Chase (Heroes of Olympus) VS Mondo Owada & Kiyotaka Ishimaru (Danganronpa)
Matchup 2: Michelangelo Hamato & Donatello Hamato (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) VS Sonic the Hedgehog & Miles "Tails" Prower (Sonic the Hedgehog)
Matchup 3: Phoenix Wright & Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney) VS Sunny & Kel (Omori)
Matchup 4: Dipper Pines & Mabel Pines (Gravity Falls) VS Denji & Asa Mitaka (Chainsaw Man)
Matchup 5: Troy Barnes & Abed Nadir (Community) VS Craig Tucker & Tweek Tweak (South Park)
Matchup 6: Brett Hand & Raegan Ridley (Inside Job) VS Usui Nagi & Furesawa "Fret" Tosai (The World Ends With You)
Matchup 7: Sans & Papyrus (Undertale) VS Spock & James T. Kirk (Star Trek)
Matchup 8: Zim & Gir (Invader Zim) VS Cuphead & Mugman (Cuphead)
With some of these matchups, Round 2 promises to be even fiercer than Round 1!! I hope everyone will continue to have fun and enjoy the voting process.

Can we talk about Kaz’s
“I want you to stay. I want you to…I want you.”
confession at the end of Six of Crows. He SAID THAT. Like wow. Huge moment for him to admit to himself AND to Inej’s face that he like likes her. And then she turns him down and he doesn’t even get upset with her for his decision. He literally makes a joke with her on Vellegut
“I’m not big on bluffing, am I, Wraith?”
or some line like that I can’t remember the exact quote but there’s so many ways to interpret that comment:
1) He’s fucking with Van Eck
2) He’s letting Inej know he still wants to be friends with her after their conversion on the boat.
3) He’s telling Inej he doesn’t bluff, meaning he meant what he said on the boat, but understands her decision
This comment probably also clued Van Eck in on how close their relationship is both romantic and friendly (other than Kaz looking at her at the moment he shouldn’t have). I just AGGGG idk I’m having brain rot

Kaz and Tolya bonding over Poetry? Of all things? love it
Ah ah ah is that an upward lip tug i see Kaz?
Jes... Why did you ruin the moment like that?

Have i said i don't like Genya's eye thing? It just looks so cheap
He wants an investment lol
Kaz you fuking idiot
You actually have to say it you know
Oof, the I want- I want you
Gives me the same vibes as i love, i love, i love you
How many fucking flying ships do they have?
Nah wtf is this Inej & Tolya shit
What's with the suggestive camera angles, stop that
Actually, i like the sturmhond look on Mal
Inej on the boat taking over slaver ships
So many things i didn't think I'd see this season omg

Are we going to get a triumvirate sitch with Alina?
Omgg yesss

I AM SO LIVING FOR THE DRESSES
EXCEPT ZOYAS... WHERE'S THE SIGNATURE BLUE SILVER?
Not that it doesn't look good just...
Talk about show stopping, am i right
Well, that's a way to end the show
Additional things I LOVED
- The show name at the beginning of every episode
- The different languages >>>>
- everything Tolya does
-Patrick Gibson as Nikolai, the longer I watched the better it got
What I did NOT like:
- lots of things actually but I have decided for myself that from here I'll just see the show as something different from the books and cherish it for what it is
-David and Genya having literally five seconds before he died? WTF? David was supposed to be here longer :/
-that they put SO MUCH into this season? like so much is happening at once and then they introduce additional stuff??? Felt a little rushed to me... Like were kinda already at the point of King of Scars but at the same time the SOC plotline is so ripped apart? I am confused...
