Having thoughts about Kaz Brekker being a farmer’s son. They call him Dirtyhands, but his hands were supposed to be dirtied from tending the earth, not from the blood of the people he’s killed. Or something.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME KANAJ BETTER WIN THIS

like nothing against Korra and Asami but they were really written in the show very last minute (bc Nickelodeon sucks and didn’t want the gay, not the writers fault at all) (also I haven’t read their comics) (also I just don’t like Korra as a person so… sorry man)

Anyways Kanej was there from the very beginning and they’re both interesting and complex characters individually and their relationship together and their dynamic makes them even more interesting.

Again, I’m just not personally a Korra fan, so, obviously take that into account. Not dissing ppl who are, she’s just not my favorite.

ALSO- the picture is of SHOW Kanej, and that shits not nearly as good as BOOK Kanej in my humble opinion. So I’m taking this as book Kanej bc they said six of crows and not shadow and bone soooooo…..

(I’m sure you could use the same debate for Korra and Asami in the comics instead of the show but sorry guy the show did not make me want to read the comics)

I’d like to just throw it out there that y’all know it’s because they have to pay their actors more right? Like that’s not the only reason they cancel the shows but that’s a huge ass reason.

I forget where it’s said but I think it’s like in the sag stuff. Like after two seasons exactly the actors are supposed to be paid quite a bit more.

I’m too fucking tired to remember the exact stuff but ITS TRUE. Ever wondered why cancellations are almost Always after two seasons? That’s the cut off.

Anyways let’s burn Netflix to the ground and also fuck the patriarchy and also capitalism, the CEO’s can kiss my ass

it really is insane to me how in the mid 2010s netflix had a reputation of making cool, inclusive series as well as saving tv shows after their networks cancelled them, and now here we are today with every halfway decent netflix original show getting cancelled after 1-2 seasons and a bajillion episodes of bigmouth

Jesper: Family generations successively having fewer and fewer kids is called a receding heirline…😃

Wylan: I hate you

[whosthatfunkyrat]

I think everyone knows which scene this is

[whosthatfunkyrat]

AMEN TO THAT

ppl be like acting like the word “fat” is an insult. As if by definition of the word that means someone is ugly. Like- no??? That’s not how it is??? Who tf you think you are??? There are PLENTY of hot fat people. People are just hot sometimes okay?? And sometimes they’re also fat and hot. Get over it. News to you ig since you were born yesterday but unlike you I already knew this shit.

let me say it again: Nina Zenik is not skinny. She is fat. She is hot. Those two things are not mutually exclusive, so why am I still seeing fanart where she’s thin?????

Jesper: Now are you going to mind your own business or do I really need to give you a piece of my mind?

Kaz: Oh, I couldn’t take the last piece

Wylan: *approaches with spray bottle*

[whosthatfunkyrat]

Ohohoho buddy boy you just WAIT

halfway through six of crows rn and kaz and inej??? i ship??? they're literally perfect??? oh my god???

[whosthatfunkyrat]

I can’t really blame him. If Inej, the goddess, was right in front of me all of the time then I wouldn’t be thinking about the plan either. That’s something you think about when you’re not being graced with her presence. And even then- she was just there. I’d let her memory linger too.

Kaz to the reader: Take that, you motherfucker, you thought reading my P.O.V would give away the plan? Well sike! Cause my brain is 24/7 Inej, Inej, and Inej and nothing else. You're welcome.

They just love each other man🥹

Even if they ain’t ace it’s just nice to see like- people loving each other in media that’s just really true and genuine without relying on sexual relations and physical connection. Like they just Love each other:’)

The thing I love and appreciate so much about Kanej is that they are an example of the deeper more nuanced aspects of a relationship that is so often overlooked in modern media.

It's Kaz loving Inej's laugh, it's Inej paying such close attention to Kaz that she can tell when he passed out just from the change in his breathing, it's Kaz emptying his life savings to buy Inej her freedom, it's Inej about to kill all the Dregs just to save Kaz, it's Kaz buying Inej a ship so she can have her dream of hunting slavers even though that means they'll be separated, it's Inej accepting who Kaz is and acknowledging that even if she didn't always agree with his methods that the Barrel needs him just as he is.

It's how well they know each other, that their relationship is based on friendship and mutual understanding, it's the little things like Kaz seeing Inej and feeling like a little boy who believes in magic again.

It's so much more than the typical modern portrayal of love that requires touching or sex to telegraph what two people feel about each other. They never need to hug or kiss or hold hands for us the readers to know how they feel because Leigh put the effort into portraying the beauty and depth of real love that modern media so often doesn't bother to attempt.

Regardless even of the fact that I, and many other aroacespec people, feel represented by Kaz, Inej, and their relationship, their relation and interactions with each other shows the aspects of love and friendship that is so rare in modern medias. And especially for younger generations growing up with TV and books, seeing love portrayed as sex or physical attraction can be very misleading and leave them confused when those things don't give the satisfaction in real life that it is given in media. But Kanej is the balance of that, they are real love, portrayed in the ways that show what real love is.

Young boys and girls and non binaries and every other gender or type of person can read these books or watch the show and see what real love is. They can see they don't have to sell their bodies or give up their boundaries to satisfy another person and that none of that would guarantee being loved, that love is so much more than just physical attraction, that being known and valued for who you are as a person in the current moment is the most important thing.

I want to make this another TedTalk about why I take issue with Kanej being portrayed in fanfics and fanarts as touchy or needing that to show they've healed or that their relationship is valid, but I'll keep this one focused on the positives so I don't get all the aphobes and haters clogging up my notifs ◉⁠‿⁠◉
