I saw a different version of this and Obviously I memorized it,

it went like:

1 for sorrow, 2 for joy, 3 for a girl, 4 for a boy, 5 for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told, 8 for a letter carried over the sea, 9 for a lover as true as can be

1 for sorrow, 2 for mirth, 3 for a funeral, 4 for a birth, 5 for heaven, 6 for hell, seven is the devil his own self

I found this interesting because six was for gold and hell

while 5 is for silver and heaven

wait i kind of understand why Kaz renamed the Emerald Palace into the Silver Six now (i saw @randomfandom-3's screenshot and)

SIX FOR GOLD. FIVE FOR SILVER. THERE ARE FIVE CROWS ALIVE. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT

Can I just say I do find it very refreshing that Wylan and Jesper's sexual orientations are like, completely plot irrelevant? They're characters with a lovely story who also happen to be in a same-sex relationship but the same-sexness of it is not ~the point~ of it.

As an Old I remember a time when you couldn't have a gay character in your story without it being a Big Deal and their gayness had to be justified with Narrative Weight. Like giving your character a massive facial scar or something. It begged backstory and explanation.

But now we have mainstream fantasy YA novels with non-straight characters for whom their sexual orientation is kind of the least notable thing about them. They simply... Exist.

And I just think that's really nice.

Literary trauma? I don't have any lit-

"Do the Shu not kiss before noon?"

... Nevermind

I like to think Jesper once made a mildly offensive joke about periods, Nina and Inej had a "stern talk" with him and he's been too terrified to breach the subject ever since

Jesper, who could've easily be written off as a typical side character comedic relief, was in fact given proper depth, character arc, background, and emotional growth as a character means so much to me. Jesper who could've been just "Kaz's right handed man" was instead writen as a poc queer ADHD teenager, who has a father who isn't really sure what to do with him but loves him despite. Jesper, who could've easily been paved away for Inej to enter as Kaz's love interest (or could've easily turned into a love triangle) gets to be happy with his own love of his life, who has may things to care for other than his social circle and in the end tries to fix every wrong he had ever done. I love jesper sm i love his character i love the way he was written and i will not stand any jesper slander.

Thinking about the inherent romance of Jesper guiding Genya in recreating Wylan's face. The fact that he's able to say "this is a face that I loved so much, and so instantly, that I'm able to recite its details from memory despite not having seen it for weeks". WHO DOES THAT.

me five shots deep: no, no, you don't understand. the point is all the main couples mirror each other. nina and matthias are child soldiers loyal to their country above almost everything else. jesper and wylan have low self esteems, fathers deeply important to the narrative, and are fundamentally mommas' boys. and kaz and inej-

the person trying to fuck me at the bar, nodding: -are the two deadliest people in the barrel and they can't even touch each other without keeling over.

me: exactly! and one more thing-
