“I was being serious about your head,” said Wylan. “You got hit with a gun. Your gun.” “Don’t say that. It’s way too embarrassing.” “Maybe your pride is just too easily damaged.” “Rude,” said Jesper. “This is supposed to be about me comforting you, not you verbally attacking me.” “This is you comforting me?”

The problem I have with modern SOC AU’s is - and no shade to modern AU’s, I do my part of partaking and writing them lmao but -

My problem is that when you pick Kaz up by the scruff and place him in a regular modern society he’s just so goofy looking sometimes. Like what’s this wet cat on about? Why’s he so mad??😭

And I don’t know why that is- I know his backstory could still work pretty well in a modern setting but somehow I feel like he just becomes even more an asshole with so much less to offer. He’s too close to me in a modern setting- he feels like any other dick I’ve ever met.

Does anyone else get this??? Pls Tell me I’m not crazy😭

“Matthias gets hiccups when he lies.” Nina grinned.

“Nina tucks her hair behind her ear when she’s scared.” Matthias retaliated.

“This is fun! Do me, do me!” Jesper smiled.

“You crack a joke whenever you feel insecure.” Nina said.

“You speak in a higher pitch when you think you’ve gotten away with a secret visit to the bar downstairs.” Matthias said.

“You change your clothes when you’re bored.” Wylan said.

“...Not as fun as I’d hoped.” Jesper admitted.

“You’re tall and annoying.” Kaz added.

“Well now that’s just saying mean things!” Jesper exclaimed.

Sometimes I think I’m not that weird and then I spend a solid amount of time wondering what kind of contraceptives are available in the Grishaverse and specifically how accessible they are in the Barrel, particularly based on the quote “Getting pregnant isn’t actually a special talent. Ask any luckless girl in the Barrel”. Is unwanted pregnancy more common in the Barrel than elsewhere in Ketterdam because of the lack of social services in the city and especially in its poorest areas? is it because teen pregnancies often lead to kids being kicked out so they end up in the Barrel? is there a higher statistic by product of the pleasure houses and especially if there aren’t safe contraceptives readily available in the pleasure houses? and if so what do the people running the pleasure houses do to the girls because of it? is it because unexpected pregnancies in higher social classes would just lead to rushed marriages so it’s more noticeable in the Barrel? or is the comment based solely on Kaz’s individual experience of the city, ie its slums, in which case whilst it’s telling us about the Barrel it’s not making any particular comparison to the rest of the city? I kind of assume there must be some contraceptives available because the possibility of pregnancies in the pleasure houses is never discussed but I doubt they’re readily available and based on what we know about the resources and development in the worldbuilding and timeline may not be the most reliable, in which case what is happening to indentured girls who end up impregnated? Because, somehow, I just don’t think they’re safe. (Where could I have possibly gotten that idea?) So yeah, I am, in fact, that weird. But I really need to know the answer to this.

Fic idea:

Kaz finds out he has a half sibling and decides to protect them the way Jordie couldn't do for him.

Im gonna write this. Shower me is so smart.

Wylan: I protect my investments.

Jesper: Excuse me?

Wylan: What? Kaz said that's how you say 'I love you!'

Jesper: Oh. Oh waIT A SEC---

[taylorscrows]

Please tell me these make sense

Do I need to say anything more?

I’m at the point where I’m not sure if what I know is actually canon or if it was something I read in an emotionally wrecking one shot on the Ao3 at 04:13 am

“I had such a funny dream,” Wylan says, keeping his voice hushed. 

Jesper’s spine stiffens, ever-so slightly. Wylan having a funny dream could either mean he’s about to share a harmless and sweet anecdote, or a harrowing and traumatic memory.

Hey idk that I ever will- but for like the couple people who follow me and see this- should I put my ao3 account on here? I’ve been keeping my two accounts (tumblr and ao3) pretty separate but… idk if I should merge the two.

(I just write some soc fic lmao)

been feeling a type of way lately about gritty characters. the characters who barrel through life with bloody fists and a broken nose. the scrappy, blow-for-blow, feral cat type of characters. the ones that fight their way through the most brutal conditions and are constantly up with their back against the wall, face to face with the worst possible odds but somehow they always find that one sliver-chance of survival and take it no matter the pain or the cost, and each time they go through something horrible the line for what they can endure moves even further, but they keep doing it. they keep on surviving the worst of the world because surviving is all they know.

basically. i just love it when characters are metaphorically drop kicked into a blender just to see how they'll be on the other side. bonus points if they're hot ofc.

“You call that breakfast?” Nina raised an eyebrow.

“It’s the first thing I’ve eaten this morning, so yes.” Kaz said. “Would you like to bottle feed me and change my nappy since you’re treating me like a baby?”

“Now there’s an image I won’t be forgetting anytime soon.” Nina laughed. “Were you ever a baby or did you just pop out all tall and miserable?”

“Yes.” Kaz smirked.

“Inej, he’s pushing my buttons again.” Nina turned to Inej and pouted.

“I don’t know what you expect me to do.” Inej shrugged.

“Where are the others?” Kaz asked.

“Matthias is hiding in the bathroom and I can only assume Jesper and Wylan are sharing a piece of spaghetti like Lady and the Tramp.” Nina said.

I couldn't get the OwlCrate SoC duology so to feel less sad I wanted to share this because I love writing Nina so much

Thinking about how cool it would’ve been if the Soc spinoff used Wylan’s knowledge of Fjerdan to expand on his friendship with Matthias, like when Matthias didn’t know the Kerch word for snow goggles in the book and he didn’t want to ask Nina he just pointed to them and said “keep your eyes covered” instead, but we could have had him turn to Wylan and say:

“Lamb. How do you say snow goggles in Kerch?”

And then Wylan would say “snow goggles” in Kerch (/English for audience purposes) and then Matthias would tell everyone to put their snow goggles on and we would see both Nina and Jesper seething right up until their eyes were covered - especially because Nina would understand what Matthias had just said.
