Main Couples of Throne of Glass

Just realized that while the books describe many times how Rowan smells like snow and pine just like Terrasen (and home for Aelin), the colors of Terrasen are also SILVER (Rowan’s hair) and GREEN (Rowan’s eyes)

How poetic is that? Now I’m crying

[yourfoolmoon]

Way better than anything my dumb brain could have ever pictured.

Ooooh this was a fun study; had to brush up on my arm anatomy to make sure I could get Kaz posed to *NOT TOUCH* Inej in the most intense game of Operation ever.

The Dregs tattoo is referenced from the Leigh Bardugo commissioned design by Kim Saigh!

“He needed to tell her...what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her. That without meaning to, he'd begun to lean on her, to look for her, to need her near. He needed to thank her for his new hat.”

-Kaz Brekker

I love how in Kaz and Inej’s relationship, it’s the subtle things that shows how much they care. Like how Kaz finds the guy that stabbed Inej and tortures him for information before throwing him over the side of a boat. 

what a charmer

[yourfoolmoon]

glad someone could put into words what I feel about these two... reading about them makes me FEEL so many feelings I can’t even, they are ancient poetry, I love that

i don’t know quite how to explain it but kaz & inej as a ship give me beautiful art vibes. they feel like a book of ancient poetry or a painting about life and death or an old ballad that lives in my heart. they just feel very ageless and permanent and as though they’re something larger than what they seem. and that’s very strange because they exist in the same universe as alina starkov and the darkling and nikolai lantsov and all these actual larger-than-life figures, but for whatever reason a city’s dirty-handed crime boss and a girl who arrests slavers on the sea have more power than them. 

the king and queen of the grishaverse are kaz brekker and inej ghafa. they are the realistic, hard-earned stories in the history books. they feel like gritty, dark, unconditional love. 

[yourfoolmoon]

I would like to say a profound thank you to Kaz “she belongs to no-one” Brekker for being the antithesis of every overly jealous/possessive male love-interest in YA.

[yourfoolmoon]

Why is nobody talking about the ending of crooked kingdom? 

I mean the ending ending, not the adorable part where Kaz literally buys Inej a ship to follow her dreams, asks her to come back for him, holds her hand without gloves, and makes the freaking KING OF RAVKA find her parents

BUT the fact that SHE goes to Pekka Rollins and makes sure that he never comes back, basically protecting Kaz from ever having to deal with him again

Cause I’m crying about that, can we talk about that?

[yourfoolmoon]

So my brain did a thing

[yourfoolmoon]

canon things that Kaz has said/thought about Inej that I always forget about until I reread:

she is his greatest weakness

“I’m going to get my money, Kaz said. And I’m going to get my girl.”

his breath catches EVERY TIME that he looks at her

“I couldn’t bear to watch you fall”

he imagined watching her braid come uncoiled and wrapping it in his hand and rubbing his thumb over the pattern of the plait

he has had thoughts of Inej that involve moonlight and silken hair

he trusts her and knows she is the one person who would never betray his weaknesses

he would die to see her smile /that way/ again

he bought her a warship (I haven’t forgotten this part but I couldn’t leave it off the list because the Bastard of the Barrel literally made her dream possible even though it means she will be away from him)

“say you’ll return” (!!!!!!!!!!) (I always, ALWAYS forget this line and it kicks me right in the gut when I reread it. He. Said. THAT.)

“IS MY TIE STRAIGHT”

“She’s scared of herself in a way: scared precisely of her life being reconstructed a different way – scared of the future she knows she’d like to have.”

— Simone de Beauvoir, from a letter to Jean-Paul Sarte, 12 March. 1940.

Seduce me with your knowledge of 19th century British literature

Everyone needs to understand that the capitalist class would rather kill all life on Earth, including, ultimately themselves, then give up their money or their power. This isn’t a hypothetical thing, by the way; the oil companies have already made that choice.

“who you love: an avalanche of almosts. a museum of broken glass. the splinter of a girl. a leap of faith. the way you paint them: soft, warm colors of the breeze. your heart, in his hand, next to the seaside. a welcome peace offering. the bouquet of jasmine in your windowsill. the truth of the matter: i still disguise you as poetry – it’s not my blood on his hands. he just can’t stop bringing me roses.”

“some find love at twilight, we nighttime creatures wedded in gossamer moon shine, diamonds studded in our eyes”

[yourfoolmoon]

it’s during the balm of summer when you meet her at the edge of dusk, peach dusted and ruddy with heat

and you’re sweating, voice thick

you think she’s shy when she laughs behind her fingers but you miss the way her teeth glint in the flickering streetlight
