"But what about the rest of us?

What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls?

We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns.

We learn to wring magic from the ordinary.

That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen,

when there was no royal blood in your veins.

When the world owed you nothing,

you demanded something of it anyway."

- Inej Ghafa

Most fantasy book protagonists: have basic moral compasses, don’t commit excessive war crimes, care about the world in general, etc

Kaz “dirty hands” Brekker: Shows his simp behavior by gauging someone’s eyes out in the opening chapters of Six of Crows because they hurt Inej and he felt like it and doesn’t give a flying fuck about traumatizing everyone on board because he’s sexy like that.

guys why does my art style keep changing am i that inconsistent

i just started drawing again too 😭

aged up kanej btw :33 forgot to mention that cuz i purposely made them look older

[grisha-crows]

the fact that i’m genuinely still so attached to six of crows and the grishaverse makes me so happy. every movie i watch or song i hear i always end up associating it with the crows, which just proves that they occupy a large portion of my brain and thoughts and i just think that’s so beautiful.

Me with a regular fictional couple: Just kiss already

Me with Kanej: OH MY GOSH HE CALLED HER AN INVESTMENT HE LITERALLY LOVES HER

[applecidersstuff]

I have this idea in my head that you can come in Inej’s room in the Slat at any given moment of the day or night and see her bed neatly made, and then go a floor up to Kaz’s attic and see Inej sleeping soundly in Kaz’s bed under like ten blankets, while Kaz looks at you from his desk like he’s about to attack you for entering his room, but at the same time he has this look that says ’wake her up and I’ll kill you’ and it’s terrifying, but at the same time you actually wonder what will happen if you do wake her up…

Fancy Kanej

Wip kanej for something, or maybe not 🤷🏻‍♀️

WIP Wednesday

Thank for the tag, @priincebutt!

I haven't had much time to work on my biggest WIP, Vakantie. Hoping to get the brain to get back to it soon. But here's a snippet from the beginning of Chapter 2, Kaz and Inej's first wake up at the farm.

Kaz blinked awake to pins and needles running down his right arm. It took him a solid moment to realize where he was, and why his arm was both asleep and trapped. Inej was wrapped around it, head pillowed on his bicep. Early morning light streamed in around the curtains, lighting her peaceful face like a painting of a Saint. Unfortunately, Sankta Inej needed to relinquish his arm. Loathe as he was to wake her, Kaz tried a gentle shimmy. She mumbled rather adorably. Then gripped his arm tighter. 

Wincing, he whispered, “Beloved… Inej… I kind of need that arm…”

“MmmNo. S’mine.”

That’s just unfairly cute. “Can I bribe you with breakfast for my arm?”

“Mmmaybe.” She didn’t let go however. 

“Oddly enough, I need my arm to cook…”

Inej, without opening her eyes, scowled in thought. “Fiiiine,” came out rather petulantly.

He was able to acquire his arm, sliding a pillow into her grasp in the process. When he leaned down to brush a kiss on her forehead, Inej murmured, “Eggs?”

“I can try.” It had been a while since he’d cooked much of anything. Surely some scrambled eggs couldn’t be too hard, though. Once he got the feeling back in his right arm, that was.

Soft tags for @intosnarkness, @magicandpizza, @hotpinkmurex, @tinyarmedtrex, and @porcelainmortal if they have anything they want to share.

You say the sun doesn't shine for you

I hope you learning that's not true, in time

When you're gone again

Just as long again

"She was somewhere to the right of him, moving without a sound. He’d heard other members of the gang say she moved like a cat, but he suspected cats would sit attentively at her feet to learn her methods."

- Kaz Brekker about Inej Ghafa

[miss-fabrikator]

Inej: Why do you not believe that saints are real?  Kaz: Never seen one.  Inej: Okay, I mean, there’s a lot of things that you can’t see that are real.  Kaz: What can’t I see?  Inej: You can’t see gravity. That’s real.  Kaz: Yeah, I can drop an apple.  Inej: Fuck.

[historicalfictionenthusiast]

Hey (with the intention of coming for you, and if I couldn’t walk I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together—knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do.)

[monikatzu]

(repost) PT.2!!!

OKAY WE BALL!! kanej 4ever <33

might make a coloured version, & these are just snippets of the original work

pls cred me if reposted :3 👍

[she-posts-nerdy-stuff]

Did someone say Kanej coded songs by indie artists who deserve more attention? Probably not but I’m gonna give you some anyway

I’m going to limit myself to putting one or two lyrics with each song but just know that I’m picking and choosing from loads of good options they aren’t the only lyrics that work 😁

Pray by The Amazing Devil - “God made all man in his image but honey I’m no man I’m what’s left when children go to war” “Why womanhood is more than crying I’m stronger now than you have ever known, the cracks you made I’ll fill with mortar a broken pot can still hold water”

Metaphor by The Crane Wives - “I’ve gotten good at leaning on metaphors, I’ve gotten good at living on someone else’s page, I cut my teeth on second hand sentiments, you can’t trust a single thing I say” “I keep my closet free of skeletons, ‘cause I’m much better at digging graves, but I always dig up bones in your sympathy, I can’t trust a single thing you say” (I actually have an edit to this that I haven’t posted yet so I guess let me know if anyone wants to see that)

Three Spectres by J Maya this song is the reason I started making edits - “I wonder how people can talk about the past and go to bed, the space around me feels with spectres of what I should have said. The past is a presence, the future is pretend, and the present is a pastor trying to make it all make sense. Will I ever leave this place? This world that I am trying to break? The mind is such a funny space, with these spectres centre stage”

Falling by Florence + the Machine I guess this is kinda borderline indie but I’m counting it and this is an underrated song - “I’ve fallen from favour and I’ve fallen from grace, fallen out of trees and I’ve fallen on my face, fallen out taxis, out of windows too, fell in your opinion when I fell in love with you” “sometimes I wish for falling, wish for the release, wish for falling through the air to give me some relief because falling’s not the problem when I’m falling I’m at peace, it’s only when I hit the ground it causes all the grief” the edits could’ve gone wild for this one if we had the tightrope scenes with Amita/Inej I’m so heartbroken

We Have It All by Pim Stones I have an edit to this one posted if anyone wants to see it - “the print was so small I didn’t understand, he cut out thumbs and placed a feather in our hands, told us we would see all our dreams and plans unfold” “all my life I’ve been heading for hell but never had I thought I’d drag you down as well, I just couldn’t resist what he was trying to sell” “our hearts we have sold for diamonds and gold but hey baby take a look, we have it all, and haven’t you heard? Hearts turn to dirt, along with the rest of your body it’s all claimed by the earth. It will fade and it will wither, but gold it will never, and hey baby, don’t you know? Diamonds are forever”

Run by Daughter - “if I try to get close, he’s already gone, don’t know where he’s going don’t know where he’s been but he is restless at night ‘cause he has horrible dreams” “and I won’t tell my mother, it’s better she don’t know, and he won’t tell his folks ‘cause they’re already ghosts. And we’ll just keep each other, as safe as we can, until we reach the border, until we make our plan to run” “Will you stay with me my love, for another day? ‘Cause I don’t want to be alone when I’m on this state. Will you stay with me my love, til we’re old and grey? ‘Cause I don’t want to be alone when these bones decay”

I might add more as they occur to me but I think this is the list for now, feel free to suggest more!!! ❤️

WESPER PARALLEL

I JUST FOUND THIS PARALLEL IN SIX OF CROWS AND CROOKED KINGDOM THATS SO CUTE.

(Jesper shouldered his rifle. "Wylan earned his keep."

Wylan gave a little jump at the sound of his name "I did?"

"Well, you made a down payment.") -Six of Crows pg 249

( "Let's see. Live in a luxurious merch mansion, get waited on by servants, spend a little extra time with a budding demolitions expert who plays a mean flute? I guess I can manage it"

Jesper's eyes traveled from the top of Wylan's red-gold curls to the tips of his toes and back again. "But I do charge a pretty steep fee."

Wylan flushed a magnificent shade of pink. "Well, hopefully the medik will be here to fix my ribs soon," He said as he headed back to the parlor.

"Yeah?"

"Yes," said Wylan, glancing briefly over his shoulder, his cheeks now red as cherries. "I'd like to make a down payment") -Crooked Kingdom pgs 507-508

AHHH I LOVE THEM
