thinking about this moment again:

particularly in regards to this conversation:

thinking about inej, who is actively dying, asking kaz for an apology. inej, whose native tongue leaves no room for triviality here. this isn’t “you were mean to me and you need to make nice,” it’s so much deeper.

this is “promise me you won’t treat me like a piece in your chess game again. promise me you won’t keep acting like i’m replaceable. promise me i’m not just another one of your investments.”

this is the first time we see inej holding kaz accountable, the first time we see her ask him to be more, to do better. this is the precursor to the “without armor” conversation. and i think it’s fitting that we never hear whether or not kaz did apologize. because at this point, i don’t think he’s ready to give inej what she’s really asking for here, and in a way, it’s best that she doesn’t hear him say the words. he’s not ready to mean them yet.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

The fact that Kaz and Inej are, fundamentally, just two children trying to look out for each other in a place that left them for dead...

I think many of the Crows are subject to unbelievable humiliations, and in turn create their own dignities. Thinking of Kaz in particular though, it's like his own resolve to put up with literally anything that serves his needs, no matter how hard or how low, is a form dignity. His actions may be detestable sometimes, but his perseverance itself is worth its own respect. The little boy who scrubs piss pots. The bastard son of the city of filth and violence. King of the rats. The best. The survivor.

can we just have, like, any feminist movement whatsoever. did everyone just stop caring?

a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints

#I’m so terrified that everyone i know secretly can’t stand me and is just being polite to my face
