i love everything about this. utter perfection.

I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean

"Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"

Who's afraid of little old me?

Well, you should be

( nothing special just somth i drew while thinking about TS new album …. It was suppose to have a second slide but i got tired so here it is 🫶🏻)

We don’t talk about chapter 41 of Six of Crows enough y’all. Nina killing the Heartrender and blessing him to be free???? Matthias getting shot by Drüskelle and Nina saving him with parem and him running his fingers over “where a bullet wound should be” in his chest???? The sense he has that he was supposed to die???? The parallels drawn between Nina’s memories of getting drunk with Nestor at the coronation and Matthias’ memories of drinking too much with Klaus???? “The were monsters, he knew it, but boys as well. Boys like him”???? As if there wasn’t already enough foreshadowing in this chapter then you get “you know they would not offer you mercy, Mattias” “I know” just twisting the damn knife???? The descriptions of Nina omg???? The fucking testament to Matthias’ early stages of growth???? “We are all someone’s monster”????

Also the most likely unintentional poetry of the moment Matthias was “supposed” to die being one chapter number later than he lives in Crooked Kingdom????

The crows making an evil laught contest

Jesper: just admit mine is better

Kaz: you sounded like saint Nikolai , you could as well give your belly a rub. Mine was better

Nina: your voice is like you shallowed stones, you sounded like a duck about to swim on money

Kaz: ah, the dream

Matthias: swiming on money?

Kaz: no, being a duck

Matthias: by this point i don't know if it´s sarcasm

Nina: now mine, was better

Jesper: too joyfull, you don't have coldness

Matthias: as someone not interested in evilness, i´d say Inej got the best one

Wylan: but i haven't proved

Jesper: pff, okay perfect tenor bird squeaks, show us your best try

Wylan: ahem...

Wylan: "evil laugther"

Jesper: aww, he is so cute when he tries to be evil

Turns to see the other crows bracing themselves and shaking on a corner

Jesper: what?

Nina paper white: That was so creepy

Inej: i think i heard babies cry

Jesper: what you mean with "creepy"? it was adorable

Matthias: it sounded like the Kaz´s spawn

Jesper: what´s wrong with you? the sky literally light up

Inej: by a lightning Jesper, he invoked a lighting and there´s not even a storm

Jesper: you are just messing with me, how could you be afraid of something so melodic?

Kaz: i normally don't like showing my weaknesses but i am seriously concerned about your judgment so i´ll confess: i may dream with a light on

yes. YES. ylva brum is so underrated i love her with all my heart. after the fjerdans get their shit rocked and she tells Nina “after a loss like this… soldiers look for someone to punish” OAGGGG that has alway stuck with me because for this moment we can see a little of what has happened to this kind, soft mother we know. when she walks in on nina and hanne we can tell that while her oppressive environment has made her quiet, it has not made her unkind and throughout the whole book we see how much she wholly loves her “daughter”. and then she sees her daughter dead and never got to say goodbye and i know she wonders if she fell on purpose to escape rasmus. i am so normal about her.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but Ylva Brum deserves the entire world or at least a better husband

Six of Crows Excerpt - Chapter 45

"I really love the way this scene was voiced, and I wanted to upload it for others' enjoyment as well. I cannot recommend the audiobook more, it's one of my favorites and each of The Crows get their own narrator. It's one of the best that I've ever personally encountered. This is the scene in which Wylan faces his father for the first time in months, after the Ice Court heist."

Shadow and Bone: “At the head of the table was an ornately carved, high-backed chair of blackest ebony, and upon it lounged a figure in a black kefta, his chin resting on one pale hand. Only one Grisha wore black, was permitted to wear black.”

Inej for a special OwlCrate edition of The Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo.

[dragonqueenstormwitch]

everyone quotes “i’m going to get my money, and i’m going to get my girl.”

but not the literal following sentence: “inej could never be his, not really, but he would find a way to give her the freedom he’d promised her so long ago.”

like to me that’s the more romantic of the lines; the fact that kaz immediately checks himself and is like nah she’s not mine but i will liquidate all my assets to ensure she’s free.

[thebigqueer]

no mourners no funerals my ass. i’m mourning and i’m funeraling

[jewish-people-problems]

I just finished The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo and I cannot recommend it enough!

I love you Leigh I love you magical jews that are in hiding I love you stories about my people and our traditions, customs, beliefs being passed down even if only a little bit no matter how much they tried to take them away from us

She was not a lynx or a spider or even the Wraith. She was Inej Ghafa, and her future was waiting above. Climb, Inej. (for the @litjoycrate Six of Crows box set)
