[jkriordanverse]

theoretically, if Jan got Wylan diagnosed, he would've (potentially) learned how to read/write. If not in Kerch than another language (theoritically key word no hate pls lol)

[filmyocean]

Kaz: I will be mean to Kuwei if you want me to be Wylan: Oh, no. That's fine, Kaz Kaz: It's really no problem, I was already planning to be mean to him

[ticklishraspberries]

Sunshine (Jesper/Wylan)

Summary: Jesper has a dumb nickname for Wylan. Wylan insults Jesper’s nicknaming skills. Jesper can not stand for such an injustice. Fluff ensues. (Based on an anonymous prompt. I haven’t read the Six of Crows book, only watched the Netflix show, so I hope I got their characterizations right. I actually went and read the scene where Jesper calls him “Wylan Van Sunshine” in the books so I could understand the context. Hope y’all enjoy!!)

The nickname had begun as a joke, a dig at Wylan’s habit of expressing the negative consequences of their plans, but ever since its first utterance, Jesper finds he can’t stop saying it.

Thus, his boyfriend is oh-so-fondly dubbed as “Wylan Van Sunshine” and it makes that said boyfriend blush each time.

“I don’t know why you call me that,” Wylan grumbles, carefully placing chemicals back in their proper place before turning to face Jesper, something like a pout on his face.

“Because you are my sunshine,” Jesper replies. “The light of my life, always keeping me happy and warm…You know, all that cheesy nonsense.”

Wylan’s blush doesn’t disappear, but the answer seems to soften his features. “You’re a sap.”

“Only for you,” Jesper says, reaching out for his boyfriend, and Wylan steps forward to allow himself to be pulled into a tight hug, Jesper’s lips pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead.

Wylan sighs, content. “I suppose it’s one of your better nicknames. You’ve come up with some quite horrendous ones in the past.”

Jesper lets out a gasp of mock offense. “How dare you! I’m great at nicknames.”

Wylan looks up at him with a look that just screams ‘seriously?’ and Jesper pouts. The position that they’re wrapped up in makes it easy for him to maneuver them back onto the bed in the corner of Wylan’s workspace.

“And what’s so wrong with my verbal expressions of love, hm?” he asks, holding both of Wylan’s hands and slowly maneuvering them upward, wrists pinned above his head.

Despite the vulnerable position, Wylan only looks mildly nervous, a touch more jittery than he usually is, and his lips are curling into a smile that he’s trying to bite back. “You say some of the sappiest, most ridiculous things,” he replies. “I love it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make fun of you for it.”

Jesper can’t keep up the act of offense, and breaks into a smile of his own. “And that means that I can still punish you for being cheeky, sunshine.”

Wylan’s mouth opens to argue or barter, but all that comes out is a squeal of laughter as Jesper’s fingers dig into his side.

“Wait, wait—”

“Wait for what? Because I’m not hearing an apology.”

Wylan is giggling too hard to give some sort of witty reply, and he certainly isn’t going to apologize, and so he just squirms in his partner’s hold and laughs, a high-pitched and

Jesper grins like a madman, all devious eyes and flashing white teeth, as his fingers crawl from Wylan’s right side and over to his belly, sliding beneath the loose sleep shirt (one he’d stolen from Jesper) and scribbling against pale skin,

The laughter only grows, as Wylan’s stomach has always been a weak spot, and his wriggling grows more desperate. “Jesper, please!”

“Please what, darling?”

“Stop it!”

“But your laugh is just so sweet,” Jesper coos in his ear. “I just can’t get enough of it, sunshine.”

Wylan splutters in embarrassment, clearly wanting to argue with the claim but laughing too hard to form a coherent sentence. They stay like that for a few moments longer, Jesper’s fingers dancing across Wylan’s skin, both of them giggling like mischievous children, until there is a loud thump! from above their heads.

It’s followed by two more rapid bangs: Kaz’s cane, signaling for them to shut up. They look at each other with equal parts mortification and amusement. The giggles don’t stop quite yet, but the tickling has ceased.

“He’s going to kill us one of these days,” Wylan rasps.

“Oh, Kaz? Nah, he’s all talk,” Jesper replies. “He loves us under all that grumpiness.”

Wylan looks at him as if to say, ‘you’re joking, right?’

It makes Jesper snort and snuggle close, pressing his lips to Wylan’s temple. “You’ll start to feel it eventually. He’s quite fond of you. I mean, how could he not be? Look at this sweet face!”

He pinches at the other’s blushing cheek, and Wylan bats him away with a fond roll of his eyes.

“Let’s just go to bed before we piss him off any further. Or else he’ll make you even older on the next passport.”

Jesper chuckles but is already tucking himself beneath the blanket, tossing it over Wylan’s legs and snuggling closer to him.

“Goodnight, sunshine,” he mutters. “Goodnight, sap.”

It seems as though that nickname is here to stay, and Wylan isn’t going to complain.

like I said I will be rambling about Six Of Crows

Like the whole “Wylan Van Sunshine” thing was meant as irony because of how brutal and dark Wylan really is. Like he is such a badass. I mean he robbed his father’s document, let the dregs BEAT HIM UP and change his entire FACE. Like excuse me but innocent silky eared puppy? I don’t think so, if there’s ANYONE innocent it’s Kuwei.

[intosnarkness]

prompt #99 with any six of crows dynamic of your choice?

99. “We’re in an abandoned lodge in the middle of nowhere. Sure, you’re totally right, nothing bad could ever happen here.”

(I mean this is just the Helnik post-shipwreck right? Nothing terrible happened in that abandoned whaling lodge, did it?)

It isn't Jesper's fault. No really, it isn't. It was Jesper's idea for him and Wylan to take the horses out for a ride, but it isn't his fault that they got lost - how was he supposed to know the trails had changed since he'd left Novyi Zem? Who had changed them, and why were they so utterly useless at making cairns? That wasn't on him. And no one could be blamed for the freak summer storm. That had come from nowhere. Jesper has many powers, but none of them involved controlling the weather. That was a whole other order of Grisha. At least they'd found the barn.

Still, it feels like an inauspicious start to their honeymoon. Trapped by pouring rain and what sounds like hail in a strange barn that has been empty so long it doesn't even smell like animals anymore.

"I'm sorry, love," Jesper breathes, as he slides off of his horse and offers Wylan a hand down.

Their new rings clink together as Wylan takes the offered help, a little less sure of himself on the horse, but he still has the bearing of a man who both knows what dressage is, and had competed in it when he was young enough to have earned himself some lifelong habits.

Wylan laughs at him, his face bright and open - Van Sunshine, Jesper thinks. He gets to live in that light for the rest of his life. Saints.

"Very rude of you to arrange a storm today," Wylan agrees, raising his arms to loop them around Jesper's shoulders. Jesper, for his part, finds his hands on Wylan's hips, and he's taken aback for the millionth time by how well their bodies fit together, how right they are for each other.

It doesn't hurt that Jesper is cold, and wet, and Wylan is very, very warm. They may have to cuddle for body heat. He hasn't decided yet if that's necessary, or if it can wait until they get back to the farm.

"You know," Wylan's fingers play gently with the short hairs at the nape of Jesper's neck. "It's a little romantic, isn't it? Getting caught in the rain together?"

Jesper loves this man, but he's beginning to remember why absolutely sane was never in his pros column.

"We're in an abandoned barn," Jesper says. "In the middle of nowhere. You think this is romantic?"

Wylan smiles and pulls Jesper's head down to their foreheads are touching. "Yes," he breathes. "I think it's romantic to be trapped by the rain with a handsome man who loves me. Even if we both smell like horses."

"I think this is how horror novels start," Jesper says, but he's smiling anyway. If he has to be trapped in a horror novel, at least he gets to be trapped with his new husband. "And I think that if a monster murderer comes for us, we're going to have to feed the horses to it, and then how will we get back?"

Wylan laughs, his shoulders shaking and eyes closed so that wrinkles decorate his face. "You are ridiculous, do you know that?"

Jesper can't help himself, he has to kiss his husband, has to feel their lips together. He hauls Wylan's body closer, reveling at the heat that radiates through their soaked clothing.

"Sure, you’re totally right, nothing bad could ever happen here," Jesper says, when they break apart.

And then Wylan kisses him again, and there's no need to talk anymore.

reminders for the grishaverse fandom in general (minor TW for brief SA mentions)

- kaz brekker is disabled, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to call him a cr*pple [i]. don’t use slurs you can’t reclaim

- wylan is canonically dyslexic. “wylan can’t read” jokes aren’t funny

- leading on from this, “jordie floaty” jokes also aren’t funny. that’s just joking about trauma

- alina was a child, the darkling is an old, old man. he did not truly ‘love’ her, he groomed her

- nina does have a personality outside of being plus-size. she isn’t just the waffles girl, and the show constantly making her the only one to be strongly associated with food and food jokes is kinda fatphobic tbh

- if you’re cis and only headcanon wylan as transmasc bc you think he’s an ‘uwu van sunshine baby’, you’re probs just transphobic

- calling inej an ‘investment’ over and over again and reinforcing that joke is just a bit of a slap in the face to trafficking survivors

- people can enjoy the books and the show as separate things, but people are also allowed to be dissatisfied with one or the other and consume media critically. in terms of inclusivity and intersectionality, critical consumption is actively encouraged

- if you’re unhappy with casting then hate the casting directors and producers, not the cast themselves

- the media itself may be fictional, but there are real-life issues at play. ableism, representation of plus-size bodies, SA, etc. fiction does affect reality as it is often the lens through which we view and engage with certain types of oppression

[lilisouless]

Argue with me if you want but...

-Wylan Van Sunshine was sarcastic, it also had actually very little to do with Wylan´s character since it was done in order to lit up the mood , so Wylan is not a pessimist (i am one, i know what we look like)

-“Tiny and Ferocious, just like you”was most likely told to Inej, not Wylan

-"We could wake them up" was probably not serious, the tone is hardly discussed but Jesper doesn't react like he does with other things Wylan says

-Nina and Matthias are not Mal and Alina, "then they would change the world" at least i read it that they were both planing on take action on the problems of the world. I do reconigze this may have a more symbolical meaning (changing the world by being the first couple between a grisha and a remorfed druskelle) and maybe THATS what it meant and i missread. And they (he definitely) wanted a domestic life but choose to "change the world" i mean, i take things literally most of the time

Those are interpretations i was going to post as a fact until i thought it better, but do you know which one ACTUALLY is a fact:

-KAZ BREKKER ALWAYS HAS A REASON. This one IS on the text, i know "didn't need a reason" sounds cooler but on canon is said to be wrong on the first chapters

[mizuharaannie]

The crows as demigods??

All the crows have so many talents that it's impossible to sort them into having only 1 godly parent. So I thought hybrids

Kaz: Definitely son of Athena, I mean such complex planning with multiples layers that even the participants more often than not can't unfold them. Outstanding intellect and extraordinary memory. But also his pickpocketing skills, his cunning, thievery and his lying ass definitely come from Hermes.

Jesper: Hephaestus yes, god of metal works and crafts also with that restless energy of his. But I also feel like Poseidon, sure he doesn't have any water powers but I just feel like it. Hermes kinda cuz he's the god of gambling and we know how much our boy loves gambling (after Wylan). Ik he's an amazing shot but that's really because he's Grisha so I'm not gonna say Apollo.

Inej: Honestly she seems the type to join the Hunters of Artemis, but would she if it meant leaving Kaz? Ares I think yes, she is amazing at fights, she literally worships her knives, her weapons although her stealth is kinda Hermes.

Wylan: Definitely Apollo, guys? Wylan Van Sunshine?? This is a classic glow-in-the-dark-light-up-our-hearts boy. With his earnest and kind way of looking at the world he shines on the streets of the dark Barrel. And he studies music so there's that. The bombs and skills in chemistry tho, not sure, Hephaestus maybe?

Nina: Hecate yes, cuz most the stuff she does is magic. But hear me out, Hades?! She summons the dead, people!? Well technically dead bodies but same old. And Aphrodite, you cannot tell me this girl does not use charmspeak, but she doesn't follow the rite of passage like our darlings, Piper and Selena.

Matthias: The guy fought wolves with his bare hands? Ares. Physically built too while training as a druskelle. Khione? We know that he comes from icy wastelands, snow powers aren't too far fetched. If it helps, imagine him singing let it go. Also somehow I feel like Zeus, lightning powers would suit him.

Kuweii: He has fire powers so probably Hephaestus.

Well I think Ketterdam suits them better than Camp half blood so.

[wander-wren]

look i wasn’t expecting it but i really love wylan in s2. i don’t know what i was expecting but mostly i was afraid we weren’t going to get much of him at all, and i’m SO happy with what we did get.

a lot of it feels like a direct callout @ the fandom for the whole “wylan van sunshine” thing. it’s sooo fun that wylan and jesper already knew each other, but more than that, with just that little change + aging them up we’ve made it far harder to infantilize the both of them the way fandom did with the books and that’s very cool.

(i’m part of “fandom” here, don’t get me wrong, i’m not on my high horse here. sorry wesper <3)

like—wylan and jesper are very clearly adults. they had sex the first time they met. they HAVE SEX, presently. they’re both comfortable in their sexualities. we won’t get a “just girls?” “no. not just girls” exchange now, but we don’t need it. this wylan and jesper don’t need that. coming out is sort of culturally linked to coming of age, and we’ve already done both, AND there’s unapologetic sex involved, so it’s harder to infantilize the two of them, especially wylan.

wylan isn’t singled out as looking like a kid or being the youngest. jesper calls him a novice, but that’s different. and while in the books you sort of know implicitly that wylan is smart in his own way, we don’t get to SEE him mixing compounds and knowing the scientific names of plants and bugs and symbiosis and allllll that. coming immediately after wylan revealing he can’t read? even i was a little shocked, bc wait, wait, he just REMEMBERS all that? in his head?

we even get a nod to him being good at deception (like in soc when he pretends to be drunk to fool the fjerdans), when he’s the one who comes up with a lie in the rollins manor.

and of course, we get that VERY good exchange between him and jesper where he literally tells him “don’t patronize me.” he feels less insecure here, still uncomfortable with it—he definitely says “my shame”—but not letting jesper make him More uncomfortable.

speaking of insecure…he’s still shy and awkward, but not in a cutesy way? like, comparing him to david, david is definitely played more as the cutesy innocent type. which doesn’t mean you should infantilize david either! just, they’re sort of similar but also different. wylan comes off as a little bit twitchy and strange, very comfortable in his world and hesitant about joining the crows. but not hesitant bc he’s a Precious Innocent Baby, hesitant bc….bombs! dangerous people! he kind of wants to keep all his fingers, thanks.

1 6 and 12 for Choosing Violence

the character everyone gets wrong

ok so i dont talk about soc a lot on here but wylan van eck. its been better recently because they did a pretty good job with his characterization in the show, but when it was just the books he was very much viewed as like "uwu cinamon roll sunshine". like hes more sheltered than his friends and also the youngest but also. he is unhinged. he makes bombs for a living. he is ok with murder. he has suggested murder on multiple occasions as the solution to their proplems. the nickname 'wylan van sunshine' was sarcastic in response to him suggesting murder. he is kind and compassionate, dont get me wrong, but that doesnt mean that hes completely innocent.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

uh. i dont think i can answer this one because i dont really. get super invested in ships or participate in a lot of shipping culture? like i get invested dont get me wrong but if i dont like a ship then i wont even look at that side of the fandom, much less form opinions about the fans.

this is more general, but i dont like when people make a ship the only part of a characters personality and thats the only kind of analysis and content you can find about them (captain lizzie and jay from jrwi riptide. i love them a lot but lizzie is a very interesting character outside the ship and i feel like that can get forgotten sometimes. or even willow from toh i feel like since huntlow became a thing i havent seen much about just willow, everything kind of revolves around her and hunter. like dont get me wrong i love huntlow and huntlow fans this is just something that bothers me sometimes)

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

um. when i was watching acoc i was scrolling through the tags and apparently some people dont like saccharina that much? i dont know i loved her and her role in the story, she was meant to cause conflict and i appreciate that. i understand why people didnt like her but as an emily axford stan first and human being second, i will forever try to explain how genius this character is to people. i know a lot of people really like her though so i dont know if this counts

thanks for the ask :DDD
