daniil and artemy ain’t beating the allegations in changeling route. those are homosexuals, your honor.

my initial knee jerk reaction to lucanis/spite saying "family, enemies, contracts" was bad because it felt like an oversimplification but actually thinking on it i really love that lucanis forces himself into this box to make things make sense in his life. family is unconditional, enemies are to be killed, but contracts is so. interesting... man who promises mila that he will find her father because he does not fail contracts. the same man who tells effe that he will kill her slaver because he needs to turn her from a poor young woman that he sympathises with, into someone he can make a deal with. it's not kindness, it's not weakness, he's just fulfilling a contract, and crows don't break contracts. if he kills a bunch of racist blood mages during that process, then he's not breaking the rules, just bending them. a very convenient excuse to be a good man while still being a crow and assassin. and of course when spite is forced into him, he gets out of it with something familiar! by making another deal! something he could work with, something he HAS to work with, because being just an abomination is unthinkable. if he can work himself out of this problem like he's done with every other contract in his life, in his mind maybe there's some tiny chance that this becomes another job that he can claw his life back from.

This was a bad idea.

Though it was that damn nickname that had Nico continuing to text.

[Couldn’t sleep.]

Nico hesitated for another moment, his thumbs hovering over the keyboard. What if Crow was with Gaz? What if he had bothered a night in for them?

[If you’re with Gaz, I can leave you be.]

He fingers threatened to type more, though stopping himself with a sigh. Putting his phone down onto his thigh and staring at the screen intently. Waiting for something to happen.

I need to drown myself in rp’s so… have fun! (i’m lacking complete braincells so this starter is ass)

Nico huffed as he lay in bed, a tight feeling swelling in his chest. His phone resting in hand, an unsent text staring at him. Hesitating on even bothering the other man.

[are you busy?]

No, he can’t sent that. He groaned, erasing the original message and leaving it to be something simple. Hoping he wasn’t about to wake up, or bug, Crow.

[Hey.]

Now all he had to do was… wait.

((JUMPING UP AND DOWN I LAB FLUFFY HEY SHARKY!!!!))

Crow was, of course, wide awake when Fluffy texted him, getting dragged out of his Rammstein listening spree by the surprise that came with someone else being awake to text him this late.

[hello??????]

He sends back right away. He’s about to send the sergeant another text back when concern stilled his thumbs. What if something was wrong? Was that why Nico was up so late?

Crow frowned before quickly typing up something a little more sincere, something subtly worried.

[what’s up, pup?]

[why are you awake so late?]

sooo funny to me when inej is like "kaz can always tell when I;m there. after the first time he told me not to sneak up on him again I kept trying but never could." and then kaz is just like "i always know when inej is there because i always want her to be there❤️"

not to be dramatic about crow’s haircut but it marks such a beautiful moment of character development for him. he finally met cayde, the man uldren killed, whose memory crow carried for years with a crushing sense of guilt, grief, and responsibility…and crow was welcomed by him instead of hated.

it allowed him to move forward. at least to an extent.

crow considered cayde to be one of the last pieces of his past life that he could never allow himself to be forgiven for—he was trapped by the knowledge of what his hands had done when they had been uldren’s. he kept uldren’s haircut like a punishment, an eternal reminder of the pain he had caused. i don’t think it’s a coincidence that the moment cayde embraced him as freely as he did, crow finally allowed himself to let go of that last physical tether to uldren.

he cuts his hair, and sees a new face in the mirror. his own. one that looks like him, not cayde-6’s murderer. he will always carry that pain, just as he will always honor cayde’s memory with newfound fondness…but now he meets his grief with the warmth and understanding that cayde gifted him. crow is free at last to allow himself to embrace his own identity, having finally been given permission to do so by the only person in the whole galaxy that could have granted it.

community that has only seen themselves represented in a small handful of romance stories that aren’t explicitly about their real-world oppression, watching a new show or movie where they are represented in a romantic story that isn’t explicitly about their real-world oppression: getting a lot of “that other show with a queer romance that isn’t explicitly about real-world homophobia” vibes from this

[crow-mortis]

i genuinely believe bad grief would get wrapped up in some mlm pyramid scheme in the modern world. imagine you go to see him and he tries to sell you herbalife or younique

Not enough people talking about how Monty and Crystal are narrative foils to each other

Monty has no past. He is literally a born yesterday character with no character history before he transformed from being Esther's crow into a living human boy. Crystal has a past that she cannot access for majority of the series. She has no memories of her time from before ep1.

The first boy Monty sees after gaining consciousness, he pines after. He does the whole will-they-won't-they dance with Edwin. Crystal is charmed by Charles, the first boy (or one of the first 2 boys) she sees after awakening from her demonic possession. She spends the first few episodes prevaricating in the face of Charles's advances.

The key difference here is that Monty pursues while Crystal evades, because this is Monty's first love, but Crystal is fresh out of a toxic relationship

I don't care, I love the new crow

[sharksliveontrains]

I do wonder sometimes whether Kaz did a poor job of teaching Inej lock-picking or if she just couldn’t pick it up as well because they both take the blame in her not having mastered the skill
