Hi hello I love ur blog!! Anyway do u have any headcanons for Kaz and Inej’s parents?

literally just remembered that i still has asks, sorry it took me so long to get to this anon!! thank you so much ;;-;;

as far as we know, inej is an only child (i’m going off of book canon here). that’s not to say she was a lonely child though, because she was always surrounded by her cousins and extended family (and any other children in the caravan). i’ve only seen this headcanon a couple of times, but i like the idea that inej’s parents were quite old when she was born (she’s literally a blessing from the saints!!). she always had her parents’ undivided attention on her at all times, and frequently scared the shit out of them by attempting to do some of the most batshit dangerous things possible, just because she’s Like That. her mother would braid her hair and tell her of old suli stories, and at night her father would sing her to sleep.

kaz’s mother either died in childbirth or soon after he was born, as he doesn’t seem to have any memories of her. he was raised by his father (and his beloved older brother) and was perfectly fine with that! his father was a gentle man with the patience of a saint, always putting up with his sons’ bizarre shenanigans and encouraging their weird little hobbies (kaz was the type of kid to get wayyyy into his nachtspel pageant role and absolutely body his part as wise man number 3. he’s known as “jordan’s weird little brother”). their father was often extremely busy during the warmer months, so when the boys weren’t helping him or doing their chores, they would spend their time doing weird shit together. to baby kaz, his father was the tallest man in the world.

as for kanej as parents… i personally don’t really see them as the type to have kids, or at least not biologically, but i can see inej taking in some of the children she rescues when they don’t have any family of their own. likewise, though he never says it (and nobody dares mention it), kaz has a bit of a soft spot for kids out on the street. he won’t take them in and raise them, but he’ll make sure they have a roof over their heads and a way to make money that keeps them out of danger. if they did have kids however, they would (as @tovezza has said, i can’t find the post) be like the parents from calvin and hobbes :) kanejcore
