s&b season2ep4 reaction!! book update: i finished seige and storm. it was lwk boring and im literally so mad bc alina deserves SO much better than mal hes such a hoe. anyways
help whats going on i kinda forgot what happened in the last episode
time to go read my own reaction
HELL NAH ITS BEEN A WHOLE WEEK SINCE I WATCHED THIS SHOW?? anyways i kinda remember the last ep now but my reaction is mostly crows stuff so it wasnt That helpful
ANYWAYS
even though mal is muchhhhhh better in the show i like the direction theyre taking with alina actually marrying nikolai
then again i havent read the kos duology (yet) so i dont know anything abt his real romance story so thats probably why i dont mind
stop mal telling alina shes his nation is so cute unlike in the books
and the way they actually do have some chemistry?? im sorry for ever hating you show malina 😔😔
is that the brother i cant tell
why does baghra lwk piss me off ...i cant tell if its because she wont stfu or because shes js boring
GENYA ☹️☹️
🥱🥱
FINALLY
"it'll give me some comfort to know you're with me" ohhhdhfmyygodddd and then her smile ahhhh
i cant tell if inej is mistaking kaz telling her to leave the city as him wanting her gone, when in reality hes js tryna protect her
or if shes just not promising it because she cant
theyre so complicated they make me sick (i love them 😭😭😭)
AWW THE I LIKE YOUR STUPID FACE LINE its different but whatever
WAITT JESPER BASICALLY CALLED HIM AND KAZ BROTHERS AND KAZ DIDNT EVEN DISAGREE?? HE LITERALLY AGREED
no cuz i actually thought kaz was gnna punch him or something but thats nice
no mourners no funerals 🙏🙏
NINA DECKING KAZ HELL YEAH I NEEDED TO SEE THAT
Dont take this as me disliking kaz btw hes my 2nd favorite character i js need to see him being put in his place
i have the most out of pocket thing to say but im not gnna say it
there are two heartrenders right there why dont they just check his pulse to see if hes lying
oh now they do it
i feel like maybe this is how they incorporate the crows into alina's plot - they'll ask them to find the sword since theyre criminals and know more than just the "wider black market"
IM LITERALLY A GENIUS HELLO????
NOT ME PREDICTING IT LIKE 2 SECONDS BEFORE HE SAYS IT
they cant just show kaz and nina for two seconds and then cut to another scene hello
OH NVM its an inej scene 🙏🙏
its so dark i can barely tell whats happening
oh they did the pox thing too they really taking half of crooked kingdom's plot huh
yeah now they decide to explain the plan
kaz is actually being so much like book kaz in this scene
"the trick is not to love anything" YEAH YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT... and with nina in the background too?? i wish inej was here tho like in the books
i think shes busy saving those randos
"something you'd sacrifice everything for and it makes you weak" stop projecting
SIX FEET DEEP
see inej really needs to be here now nina and jesper kinda know his backstory but she doesnt
then again its more meaningful if he tells her on his own time
HIS SMIRK
"im begging you" "are you?" hes not begging but i can
sorry
HIM ASKING FOR THE QUITCLAIM DEED FOR INEJ 🥺🥺 him liquifying everything he owns in the books is still better tho
THE LOOK IS HIS EYES - this is not freddy carter acting as kaz this is LITERALLY kaz
lmfaoo the offended look on toyla's face
WHYD THAT ACTUALLY SCARE ME (the guy sneaking up behind mal)
ok so i have a class so i'll watch the rest later
im backkk
seeing that vasily guys face after a few hours is such a jumpscare like why is he so ugly
bruh i jus realized theyre not gonna do the thing where inej cuts a line above pekkas heart 😐another kanej moment wasted
hjdkfk wylan hiding under the table when jesper asks him out
this conversation is so awkward i keep pausing it 😭
its cute tho
omg just kiss already the tension is getting to me
finally!!! 🙏🙏
WAIT FUCK I JS REALIZED THATS ANOTHER MOMENT WASTED CUZ THEY CANT DO THE JESPER KISSING THE WRONG GUY THING IF THE SPINOFF HAPPENS
im not really liking how they did wesper anyways.... with the whole one night stand thing... 😐
ok. yeah. wow. go from super cute fluffy wesper to kanej angst. yeah. remind me of what i dont have.
kaz saying that theres a weak link in the crew and inej thinks it means her but hes actually talking ab HIMSELF because shes his weakness and shes the person he would sacrifice everything for and AUGHHH
the difference between the show and the books when kaz gives her the paper is crazy
wish they had kept the book's scene fr
waittt is nikolai adopted??
oh he is
tamar and nadia definitely have something going on its already canon that nadia is into girls so!!
did the vasily guy die i hope he did 🙏🙏
why didn't baghra just. do that before. yk BEFORE she got her damn finger cut off
"your obsession with the fold is naive" is bro talking about alina or himself
and thats it watch me wait another week again before watching the next episode 💀

ahead of the s2 release, here are a few incoherent thoughts based on absolutely nothing while i have some time to jot them down during my snow day: (gv book spoilers ahead, so skip for now if you’re a show only fan!)
above all else, i’m just excited to have these characters back in new (and yet still familiar) ways
i do not need this to be a perfect season. it won’t be. no one should be expecting that. speaking entirely right now about the crows and their duology, we have two perfect books to go back to. nothing that happens in this show could “ruin” anything from SoC or CK because they are two different entities
i am scared of the kaz and jordie flashbacks in a way that i have never been scared of anything in my entire life. there is sheer terror coursing through my veins right now.
i know. i just know. that genya’s arc will end my entire life this season. if i hear the words “i am not ruined. I am ruination” delivered by daisy within the next 48 hours i will be ascending to another plane of existence
whatever kanej content we get this season WILL cause a medical emergency for me and i know this
wylan. that’s it, that’s the tweet. wylan.
trying to prepare for my helnik brain cells to be beaten to shit this season
remembering that we also get jesper flashbacks just made me doordash tissues to my apartment
just know this. any zoyalai interactions will have consequences that range so far. that are so intense. the shockwaves will be felt far and wide.
i want unhinged kaz this season and i had better get it. just absolutely wild. cane beatdowns left and right. merciless. irrational. ruthless. give it to us.
i am wholly unprepared to see nikolai living the persona he enjoys most. knowing what’s ahead for him and how much he yearns for these moments in the future. not ready for THAT! wait. if this season covers books 2 and 3 are we going to see demon!nikolai. oh FUCK. oh fuck oh fuck. why did i not consider this before literally right now.
in summary, we are fucked. good luck out there everyone. NMNF.
#writing all of these down now because tomorrow is a day of chaos for me#and just forget thursday#ill be liveblogging my reactions from the airport#where ill be watching s2 on my PHONE at 4am#shadow and bone#shadow and bone season 2#shadow and bone spoilers#sab netflix#kaz brekker#inej ghafa#nina zenik#matthias helvar#jesper fahey#wylan van eck#nikolai lantsov#zoya nazyalensky#kanej#zoyalai#so sorry to anyone who actually read all of that#also just realized I forgot to talk about my loves tolya and tamar and how excited I am for them#also I’m excited to see malina 🥹#ok this is really the end now

Oh boy, now some things I disliked. Some strongly. Sab s2 was a speed run, yes, and sometimes the plot suffered for it. Mostly, I'm mad about the things that were taken away. Nina was done so dirty. She had the Nina personality and was iconic as usual, but I wish they had used more of her instead of her just...being there and talking about Matthias. She has an amazing personality and a lot of plot armor. Yet, they don't utilize that!
We were robbed of ninej as well. I was so excited for Ninej, and we got like two conversations. I want them to have a strong budding friendship, what happened to her flinching when Nina hugs her? Which could have helped with the lack of Inej trauma addressed this season as well. They were so fucking cute together I needed more. Don't get me started on poor Matthias getting like 10 minutes of screen time. I feel bad for him, but that was a mild complaint because what else is he supposed to do this season y'know?
I was mad at the speed run for Nikolina. They literally put all their iconic lines and scenes that were built up and formed of their relationship developing, and shoved them a into one conversation. They made Alina like him right from the start, and I just feel like in general they needed to flesh out Nikolai like a LOT. He was perfect, emanated Nikolai energy, he just needed more chances to prove that!
The erasure of Jesper's crush on Kaz and the Wesper speed run. Oh boy. Okay buckle up. I thought they didn't build up Wesper well enough, and they made them together for the fan service. I wish they had just made them friends or allies this season. Maybe Wylan was crushing on him a little, but I wanted that banter that they had in Soc. Jesper teasing him was great! This season I wished they had spent a lot more time on Jesper's crush on Kaz. Kit Young and Freddy Carter like to pretend it doesn't exist but it does. And I, (a biased Kazper shipper), really would have loved to see it in its early stages. For Inej and Jesper to bond over it and the utter angst in their scenes because Jes knows he won't like him like he likes her. They seriously cut all of that out, and made Jes say they were brothers which is not true. Kaz sees him as a brother, and it just takes out the whole impact of the Jordie line in CK.
Tolya and Inej better not-*sigh* not getting into that.. David I refuse to believe he is dead. He is a part of the Triumvirate, and he was supposed to get married to Genya before DYING. She cannot catch a freaking break.
I also didn't like how the Spinning Wheel was lame. Like, it was supposed to be in the sky. Buried in the mountains. Instead it's like a small mansion in the ground. The sea whip fetter was kind of lame too. Genya's scars could have been better, and so should the Darkling's Sharpie-drawn scars. One thing I just wish could happen is to show Jesper and Nina being bisexual. Like, at this point, people would think Jes is gay and Nina is straight. Is it too much to ask for them both to show their interest in women?
We didn't get lines like "I am not ruined, I am ruination. " and the iconic "i am become a blade. " I have hopes for s3 though. Flaws and all, I love SAB and I have faith in them to give us a good s3 and Six of Crows.

You know that moment in Yuri!!! On Ice episode 10 when Phichit finds out Victuuri are engaged and loudly announces their marriage to everyone in the area? That’s how Wataru reacted to the SHMK marriage. To me.
#Enstars#shumika#hibiki wataru#sab actually posts#I’M RIGHT AND YOU KNOW IT BTW#he WOULD be the one going ‘CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR MARRIAGE! HEY EVERYONE MY GOOD FRIEND HERE JUST GOT MARRIED!!!’#all while cheering and clapping violently#if you’re wondering then Chris’ reaction of looking like he already knows would be Rei#Otabek’s reaction of being pretty neutral but clapping anyway would be Kanata (except he’s still smiling)#and Yurio’s reaction of utter shock and mild disgust would be Natsume (but mostly as a joke because he still loves his Nii-san)

A very minor edit to some of the Freddy Carter FAULT magazine pics (photographer Joseph Sinclair). I feel like it could be a reaction pic maybe with that tagline they chose? Though a very stylish one

s&b episode trheeeee s2 reaction
why are the intros so cool this season
i need one of them to punch him right now
stop for a second i thought it was gonna be the bathroom scene
i think that scene is in this episode it better be good 🙏🙏
so does nikolai just. not change his face in this. does he just sail around and hope nobody recognizes him?? im sure someone would recognize him
THE PUNCH 🔥🔥🔥
he better not tell alina that kaz snitched on her
is that that one girl nadia or something i forgot her name 💀
im so smart i was right
zoyaaaa i was wondering where she was
did they change her actor or smth? she looks different but tbh so did nadia maybe their makeup js changed idk
funny scene but i have no idea why they're even there what did kaz ask them to do
jespers face oh this is so when he fell in love with wylan
ok THIS is the bathroom scene it has to be
TELL HER THE DAMN REASON
stop the fact that he immediately turns around when she starts removing her vest because she knows that she had to do that in front of men at the menagerie...
SAY IT
ok he didnt say the i can help you thing but he told her!!!!
"then we destroy him" THE WAY SHE SAID IT 🧎♀️🧎♀️
ik this is a cheap version of the bathroom scene but the tension is still Insane soo
"is there anyone to protect you" "was there no one to protect you" 🥺🥺🥺🥺
THEY'RE SO FUCKIN CLOSE AUGH
"the real one" ITS HERRRR
shes his weakness they make me so insane ☹️☹️☹️
THE EYE CONTACTT and i know you looked at his lips inej
i will actually kill nina
help the look she gave them and then the look she gave inej
"its not what you think" STOP LYING TO YOURSELF??
Time to rewatch the whole thing like 5 times 🙏🙏
the way she said "whats yours" im gonna kms
nina and inejs friendship is so sweet
i love how my reaction to one 3 minute (or whatever) scene was longer than my reaction to the other 25 minutes
"i recommend a cane" no words just. yeah
when hes covered in blood >>>
THE INEJ FIGHT SCENE IS IN THIS EPISODE TOO?? AHH
the hair swingggg
AND THE KNIFE FLICK
this is why inej is the best crow shes literally So fucking cool
"i know all the places too" I LOVE WHEN HER VOICE GOES RASPY
PLEASE INEJ JUST ONE CHANCE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
she is literally the most badass character in this show
going from the kanej bathroom scene + kaz fight scene + inej fight scene to a darkling scene is literally the biggest downgrade ever
genya and alina reunion pleasee
show malina is literally SO much better oh my god - im halfway through siege and storm and i literally want to kill mal hes literally so possesive
and he still has the audacity to yell at alina??
"its your choice to make" SO MUCH BETTER
...no way that david guy just ran away? 😐
wylan flirting with jesper >>
kaz has no right looking that good when hes literally beaten up
Oh wylan is gonna hate jesper now
is matthias crazy
no making him fight a whole ass canibal is crazy i think wolves would be better
OHH NINAS THERE
the kerch really are heathens
i cant blame her if she attempts to kidnap kaz or whatever hes being very fucking annoying this season (which is very in character ofc but yeah)
stop why did i actually get scared by his scream 💀💀💀
shes probably gonna marry him i think theyre going a different route from the books
this episode Definitely had the best crow scenes so far

Except you enthrall me, never shall be free
He would have been too late if the Fjerdan assassin hadn’t wanted Alina to die in the gravest torment. The belly wound she’d suffered was a lethal injury and the man had dragged her to the edge of the trees, where she wouldn’t easily have been found, where no one would have heard her faint cries. She would have died slowly, blood loss and infection warring within her, possibly injured a second time by a hungry wolf errant from its pack; if he had only wanted her dead as quickly as possible, he would have cut her throat and there would have been nothing left for Aleksander to do but turn the howling abyss inside himself into something far more devastating than the Fold.
The Fjerdan was a monster among monsters, cruel and glorying in his cruelty, and Aleksander dispatched him with greater mercy than the man deserved, wielding the Cut in a sudden blow that the assassin and his comrades never saw coming. Alina, watching, looked less afraid than Aleksander would have expected and more disinterested, which meant she was very near to death, occupied with her own agony and the need to cast it off.
“Miss Starkov,” he said, crouching over her, a finger laid at the pulse in her throat. She started to close her eyes and he feared she would not open them again. He began again, leaning closer to her, speaking softly but very clearly, “Alina, moya golubka, stay with me. Stay with me. I’m here, I’ll help you, just don’t go—”
“Hurts,” she mumbled. “Cold.”
If the Fjerdan had slashed her throat, there would be no words left. None for Alina to murmur, almost to herself, and none for Aleksander to use to coax her, to prepare as an incantation. Aleksander realized, in this moment, that he lived in a world of miracles, and he thanked whichever Saint was responsible. The Fjerdan dagger protruded from the dirty red wool of the spare kefta she’d been given, her blood staining the fabric only a darker color, almost the black of his own kefta and cloak. She was bleeding steadily and she wouldn’t survive transport to the nearest Healer, not even if one were only across the meadow or within shouting distance. He had a matter of minutes, possibly only seconds, and he was a passable medic after his centuries of battlefield experience, but he hadn’t a Healer’s power to repair the grievous wounds she’d suffered.
What he did have was access to colossal power. What he had was merzost and trancework and years of study in libraries and hovels and grand Imperial suites. What he had was the memory of Luda’s face as she worked to save a young girl and how she had felt in his arms afterwards, how his shadows could be a balm when she was spent.
What he had was Alina Starkov, her belly pierced by a silver dagger, her blood on his hands and her dark eyes regarding him with something like faith. He had his own knife and his own blood to spill, he had his shadows and their ability to coax forth her fading light, the affinity of two Summoners and the unnamable connection that had existed between them since they’d met. There was no time to waste, he would have to act, and together they would have to bear the consequence of his decision if she lived. If she lived, he would explain what he could and accept that she might argue he should not have chosen as he did. She would be alive then, to argue with him, even to turn her back and let him have the taste of her bitterness in his mouth without her kiss. She had burned maps to cross the Fold and had lit up the Fold to save her friend; how could he do less for the person he had been waiting for his whole life? She would have to forgive him or she would stay angry. He would rather spend every night of his life sleepless, knowing she dreamed of his destruction.
He laid a hand on her cheek and slipped the other beneath her sodden kefta, to rest lightly where the dagger had been thrust. He closed his eyes for a moment, gathering himself, and heard the effort of her faint inhalation. He stroked the Fjerdan blade and felt his own blood well and begin to mix with hers.
“This won’t take very long, Alina, and I will be with you,” he said. “You won’t understand what I’m saying, but I’ll tell you later what every word meant.”
She only looked at him. He could not wait for her to nod or try to form the word yes or no or please. He could only begin, holding her dark gaze with his own, feeling the ancient words new on his tongue lotzen zaitut, ene maitea, the incantation coming slowly at first and then taking on its own rhythm like a song he was remembering from his childhood returning to him without the accompaniment of a domra or kaval. Indeed, he spoke and then he sang, his voice rough, as if he swallowed his tears, or had had surrounded them both with smoke instead of shadow. It took forever and only a few moments and then he was finished. The Fjerdan dagger came away as if it had never stabbed into her belly and he let it fall to the ground beside her. He looked down and saw the wound was healed, not as if it had ever happened, but in such a way as would perplex the most expert Grisha Healers. The poison that had stirred within her was still. He blew out a breath and their mingled blood flew away like the finest dust, though there remained a dried streak across her cheek. He drew the sides of the kefta together, grimacing at the heaviness of the fabric with her blood and bodily fluids caking the wool. She would never wear it again, he knew that, though it could not be disposed of, as he’d made it a relic.
“Better now, neshama?” he asked, hoping she would speak before she slept.
“It doesn’t hurt, not much,” she said. He tried to smile at her, as he hadn’t when he had cut her with the silver ring and her light had poured forth like the dawn over the horizon. To be kind, because she had needed that and he had withheld it, even after discovering who she was. It was little enough to give to her now, but he gave it, wanting her to be soothed.
“That’s good,” he said. “I don’t want you to be in pain—”
“What did you do—are you a Healer too? Not just the Shadow Summoner? Or does being the Shadow Summoner mean you can heal as well?” she said, trying to sit up but too weak to accomplish it. He put his arm around her back and helped, but kept her in his arms, her head in the crook of his elbow, cradled like a lover.
“It means you and I, Sun and Shadow Summoners, can do for each other, with each other, what others cannot. If we will it, so mote it be,” he said. He would keep the explanation simple now and share the treatises that went into greater depth when they were safely at the Little Palace, her heart assessed by the Chief Healer and senior Heart-render. He could only pray that what he did was something neither of them came to rue. She’d told him she was a map-maker, however junior; she would understand that there were regions unexplored, that could hold terrors or marvels. Or both.
“I didn’t do anything,” she said. “Except not die.”
“That was all you needed to do. There is no tally sheet to square the sum between us, neshama,” he said. He had expected to feel the bond, to feel drawn to her most powerfully, from the first instant when he’d cut her open and then when he’d sealed them to each other, but the surge of affectionate tenderness that overtook him as he looked down at her, so delicate, pale from blood-loss and the wasting sickness but still lovely, curious and intrepid despite all she’d been through, was a shock. He wanted her, in a way he hadn’t wanted anyone in years beyond counting, and he knew he could not ask anything of her when they were as they were, before she understood the world and her place in it. He would tell her the truth, as much as she could bear, bite by bite, given to her like a sustaining broth, to taste and hold before she swallowed.
“What does that mean? What you called me just now?”
“It’s an old word, from a language no one speaks anymore. It means ‘my soul,’” he said.
“You said it. You must speak it,” she said.
“I did,” he said. “In a few minutes, we’ll try to see if you can stand. I need to get us back to Os Alta. It will not be the easiest ride, but we’ll manage.”
“Will you teach me?” she asked. She could have asked anything, she could have complained about the journey or protested his instructions. She could have fainted as soon as he’d finished the chant, but her eyes were bright, even if her lips were chapped and bitten.
“To ride?”
“To speak it with you,” she said. “I think, I don’t know why but I think we must be able to. I admit, I’m not very good at languages, I only speak Ravkan and a little of the dialect from Keramzin. I won’t be the best student.”
“I won’t be the best teacher,” he said.
“I never wanted this, to be Grisha,” she offered. Or was it a confession? He was quiet, waiting for her to go on. “I—we hid, when they came to test us, I cut my hand so they couldn’t tell. And now—”
“And now? You are Grisha. You are not alone,” he said.
“Do you mean because I am one of many? Or do you mean us?”
“You are the one among the many. And we are never alone, we won’t be, you and I,” he said.
“Because of what you did,” she said.
Fleetingly, he wondered whether he would remember her saying what you did, the kernel of an accusation hidden within the three words. What he had done was only merzost but was of it, and well he knew how merzost could not be undone, only grappled with. When he was Eryk, he would not have made such an observation, nor when he’d answered to Zuzen or Khenbish. What names would Alina take in their future? She’d lived to choose and that had to be worthwhile.
“Yes. I will teach you the old language. It has many obscenities. Some of them are quite…vivid. You shall be able to curse me in a thousand ways, if you want,” he said. It was an admission, one he made gladly, though he didn’t dare risk letting her see his lips curve.
“I’ll keep that in mind,” she said. She tried again to exert herself and ended up wincing. Not much clearly did not mean she was comfortable. It meant she had been told not to complain, had been left to suffer even if she did. “I don’t see how we’re getting back to the city. I don’t think I can ride, I’ve got no experience and I’m still—”
“I’ll take care of that. Of you,” he said. The words resonated inside him, a bell struck out to tell the people of a birth, a death. A great fire coming in across the sea, an impossible mystery.
“It sounds like a promise, but it might be a threat. Or a warning,” she said.
“It could be all of those or none. A reassurance. One I make to you, make to myself,” he said.
“I don’t understand,” she replied, but she turned her face so her cheek pressed against his arm, seeking the solace he could give her. Did she know how sweet he found it to be so regarded?
“Neither do I, neshama. I’m a man who has bartered my soul for the world and yet here you are and here am I,” he said.
He held her against him all the way into Os Alta, his thighs pressed against hers, his arm wrapped around her waist. He could not hold her too tightly where she had been wounded, but he could not risk her falling from the saddle. After an hour, she let her head drop back to rest against his shoulder, the tang of her blood in every breath he took. She slept, when the moon rose and the city was still a league away, and when they rode in through the central avenue, the linden trees dark against the night-sky. He allowed Ivan to help her down from his horse but his deputy saw what was necessary in his General’s face and then Alina was back in his arms, blinking drowsily.
“We’re home,” he said. “Here you are and here am I, neshama. Home.”
He decided to leave any havoc to the dawn.

"it'll give me some comfort to know you're with me" is the nicest thing kaz can say hahaha
"if the plan goes awry" ...book kaz's plans never go awry...they just turn into plan f
"kinda like your face" IS THAT THE RIP-OFF "maybe I liked your stupid face" !?!?! IT BETTER NOT BE
ok jesper guessing what kaz is gonna say was amazing top notch quality...one of my new favorite moments
...this is also crooked kingdom...(the costumes)...it SCARES ME
...ope...nina is in this plan...she might ruin it (she hasn't really been a CROW yet...she cares more about Matthias at the moment and Pekka can give her that)
anndd...that happened sooner than I expected
it took kaz almost a whole book to forgive jesper for ACCIDENTALLY telling people they were leaving town...idk how he's gonna forgive nina for PURPOSELY doing this
love alina learning the cut...get it girl
also Tamar and Nadias chemistry 👀👀 I see you (ps Tamar is so gorgeous how do I focus with her on screen 😭)
David's actor is so good! the pain in his voice when he mentions genya 🥺🥺
"I share no bond with kirigan" 😳 girl is done with him
"it's a little unsettling how you talk about him like he's someone else" get it mal! I love that line
please be a kaz plan please be a kaz plan please be a kaz plan please be a kaz plan
inej saving the people on the ship 😭😭 I love her so much
again I say...please be a kaz plan please be a kaz plan... how else does he forgive nina?
this is literally crooked kingdom...the fake plague?
YES ITS A KAZ PLAAANNN
I KNEW IT I LOVE KAZ PLANS
wylan 🥰 (it was such a short scene...I just love him)
jesper in his costume brooo
hell yeah I love crazy kaz
"you'll never find your son in time" badass shit
start begging Pekka. start begging.
honestly...not mad that they moved this plot up sooner cuz there is still a lot that happens in six of crows and crooked kingdom with van eck and the ice court...this gets Pekka out of the way
aahhhhhh freddy is an amazing kaz!!!!
right after his big Pekka throw down he looks at jesper and nina like he was ashamed he learned his secret and it just ahhhhh
tolya and his poetry hahaha loovee
damn nikolais brother whose name I forgot! rude!
Vasily...it was said
ew...don't kiss her hand vasily...nasty
his son being okay gets me though 🥺 the little boy didn't do anything wrong and kaz knows that
"you could come with me" for being so good at flirting with everyone...i love how bad he is at it with the people he actually likes
"I can't make you any promises, or predict what might happen between us. but I can tell you that, I'd like to find out." CRIES 😭😭
ok imma be honest...I got a bit of wesper in e4 spoiled for me because I opened tumblr and THERE IT WAS and was SO UPSET because I love their slow burn
it just seems like they rushed it...they barely know each other...GIVE ME MY SLOW BURN
but also this scene is really cute
BUT WHY WE MOVING SO FUCKING FAST BRO
...I went back and rewatched the scene because as I said in a previous post...I always rewatch wylan scenes and
WYLANS LITTLE TURNED AWAY SMILE AFTER JESPERS SPEECH OMGGG HES SO ADORABLE
kaz being mad at inej but just because he was worried about her 🥺
"weak link" this bitch is so bad at feelings...we all know you love her
I just know that if we could see in his head like the books he'd be yelling at himself
I love nikolai "wear it that is...not punch me"
this scene is like word for word! love!
Vasily gives me slimey vibbeess
I'm so excited for this scene
AND HERE WE GO
BRO WAS LITERALLY RIPPED IN TWO
darkling really just walked past alina like 🚶♂️
I love the darklina scenes thouggghh they're done so well to the book!!
is it bad to say that I expected genya to be...worse than she is??? 👀
like girl was described as missing an eye and basically looking almost non-humanlike due to the torture she endured
but now she has like some scratches on her face
"do you see him?" 👀 same alina...same
(imma just put this here in my small shameful way but...the darkling looks really hot when he's trembling with anger 😗...)
#im sorry that ben barnes is hot#its not my fault#its his#😤#kaz brekker#crazy kaz#wesper#wesper is a slow burn#im a little nervous but i have hope#shadow and bone#sab#sab spoilers#sab s2e4#shadow and bone s2e4#shadow and bone reaction#justanothersbreaction#six of crows#soc
