But maybe being brave didn’t mean being unafraid.

Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

I've blocked an anti yesterday, who claimed the Darkling abused Alina so badly he forced her to attempt suicide to escape him.

And just... No honey, how did you read that book?

Alina didn't try to kill herself to get away from the Darkling. She tried to kill them both, because she was forced to face the fact he's right, and they're truly alike in some aspects. That she loves her power and the power it brings her over others. She doesn't want to live in shadows of obscurity.

She wasn't some poor desperated teen victim, but a young woman avoiding unpleasant truths no matter the cost.

“I want this.” I need it. Sacrifice or selfishness, it didn’t matter anymore. ... “There isn’t any choice to make. This is what was meant to be.” It was true. I felt it in the collar, in the weight of the fetter. For the first time in weeks, I felt strong.

Siege and Storm- Chapter 23

And Aleksander isn't only a representation of her not being the perfect, nice, saintly nobody, he will never let her hide and forget it.

“If I flirted with a plant, you can bet it would stand up and take notice. Are you jealous?”

“All the time.”

“I’m glad. What are you looking at, Matthias?” The low thrum of her voice vibrated straight through him.

He kept his eyes on the ceiling, whispering softly. “Nothing.”

“Matthias, are you praying?”

“Possibly.”

“For restraint?” she said sweetly.

“You really are a witch.”

“I’m not proper, Matthias.”

“I am aware of this.” Miserably, keenly, hungrily aware.

“And I’m sorry to inform you, but you’re not proper either.”

I'm feeling sad and I miss them terribly

Well... he isn't wrong...

My grandpa asked me what book I was reading and, vaguely knowing that I love six of crows and reread it all the time, said “are you reading five of crows?”

I could not speak for a solid 10 seconds

Inej: "You didn’t have to come for me." Kaz: "I made an investment." Inej: (smirks) "Is that what I am to you? An investment?" Kaz: (pauses, jaw tightens) "You're the only thing I’ve ever bet on without calculating the odds."

was innocently scrolling and came across a darklina post and when I tell u it was a jumpscare - like I forgot they existed omfg

[rosietrace]

Chat I've read soc and ck so many times that I lowkey wanna challenge myself by summarizing the entire ice court heist/get rich with sugar silos schemes ☠

[xblackmariahx]

sure, heartbreak is horrible, but have you ever read about your comfort character almost being thrown into the ocean and murdered?

Yk how there is/was that trend of "yea sex is great but have you ever..." I think we should start some polar opposite of that. E.g.

sure, heartbreak is horrible, but have you ever read chapter 40???

no mourners, no funerals

“Water everywhere,” said Wylan. “Do the fountains symbolize Djel?” “The wellspring,” mused Kaz, “where all sins are washed clean.” “Or where they drown you and make you confess,” Wylan said. Jesper snorted. “Wylan, your thoughts have taken a very dark turn. I fear the Dregs may be a bad influence.”

Six of Crows- Chapter 29 (Leigh Bardugo)

That's a perfectly good question.

Do Fjerdans drown people to wash them off their sins?

Not Grisha, obviously. Unnatural abominations don't deserve to touch Djel's sacred fluid, but ordinary "criminals"?

[deafeningdestinyaster]

naah.. he's a cold-blooded schemer..

also Kaz Brekker:

“I would come for you,” he said, and when he saw the wary look she shot him, he said it again. “I would come 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. We never stop fighting

[she-posts-nerdy-stuff]

Chapter 12 is out!! Ngl when I said soon I didn't realise it would be the same day, but it is!!

“You’re bribing her. With jurda,”

Kaz halted, just briefly, tightening his grip on the crow’s head handle if his cane as he turned his head back over his shoulder with a sneer:

“Your point?”

Matthias looked affronted - and maybe a little surprise. Perhaps he’d been expecting, or even hoping, that Kaz would deny the accusation.

“Kaz,” he sounded almost hurt, “Don’t you know what you're doing to her?”

“I’m doing my job, Matthias,” he snarled, already turning to continue walking away, “I would appreciate it if you’d get on with yours,”

- Chapter 12 of Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, coming soon!!

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
