I've seen a lot of people say how hilarious it is that the Crows feel like they can trust Kaz with their wildest secrets because he's probably seen an done worse, and I fully agree...which is such an extra L for the guy Kaz dropped off the building lmao

It's like...

Nina: "I've falsely accused my crush of being a slaver"

Kaz, wiping the blood off his gloves after he literally just ripped a man's eye out: "Haha nice."

Jesper: "I have so many debts that my father might lose the farm"

Kaz: "I beat a man to death with his own bone once."

Wylan: "I can't read :("

Kaz: "Then?? Hire someone who can?? I can't walk properly, was I NOT supposed to get a cane I can bust peoples' kneecaps with??"

Inej: "I KILLED someone!"

Kaz: "LOL, tell me about it. Wait why are you crying."

Random asshole: "There's a girl in the Menagerie that will do anything for me because she'll die if I tell on her"

Kaz: "What the fuck is wrong with you"

starting to think you two may be in love

[barrel-crow-n]

That is actually a typo in the books

I like to think that Kaz is sort of like Wylan's and Jesper's cat. Like they hear some small noise downstairs at 3 AM, and they'll roll their eyes and say "It's Kaz again".

One day Wylan leaves the house and screams in terror because Kaz is casually chilling on the roof. "For a better view on my targets," he says. What targets does he mean? No idea. How did he get up there? No one knows. Can he get down on his own? No. Will he climb up again tomorrow? Absolutely.

He comes by- uninvited!- just to eat their food, and when they ask him to stop, he gives the "You told me to take better care of myself!" response. Oh, and he pushes things off tables, just to be an asshole. Once Kaz is more comfortable and has learned to trust his friends and be vulnerable around them, they randomly find him napping in strange places of the house as if he pays rent.

When he's sick or hurt, he hides and hisses when approached.

Sometimes he kidnaps people that annoy or threaten Wylan and Jesper and drops them at their doorsteps. As gifts ❤

The final straw is when one day Wylan and Jesper plan to take a romantic bath together, and when they enter the bathroom- surprise!- Kaz is already in the bathtub with a glass of brandy in his hand, having the audacity to look scandalized and be like "Can you KNOCK?!"

It has come to the point where he's their mean, murderous, asshole roommate who just eats all their food and breaks all their locks constantly lol

This was how the scene went, right?

#jesper: yah he went a lil crazy :/ #kaz: *killed like half a dozen people and ripped someone's eye out of their head only to then toss them overboard*

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.

sometimes I headcanon inej as bi but sometimes… but sometimes I think she’s that straight girl you think is a lesbian for so long, until you finally meet her boyfriend who’s just a weird little guy.

[barrel-crow-n]

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.

no thoughts just KAZ'S FACE WHEN HE REALIZES THAT INEJ KILLED THAT DUDE FOR HIM AT THE PALACE 😭😭

[barrel-crow-n]

Trying to be edgy in those stupid goggles. ok emo boy

#he's so :)) #“do you want to build them a pyre?” OUT OF POCKET

[barrel-crow-n]

something something about how inej was terrified that she wouldn't be useful to kaz anymore if her legs were broken, but if kaz's hands were broken??! his sleight of hand and lockpicking is integral to how he views himself 🤭😈 it would be a shame if that was taken away

DANIELLE GALLIGAN as NINA ZENIK in season 2 of SHADOW AND BONE (2021-)

[barrel-crow-n]

silliest thing abt kaz soc 2 me is. well he has his Getup yes w the whole mocking merchers black suit thing. but sometimes. he is not wearing that. and some of his most iconic lines/actions are while he is dressed in something somewhat ridiculous. he took out oomen's eye looking like "a boy setting sail on his first adventure." he threatened hanna smeet in a Blue club cumulus staff uniform under an Orange madman cape.

#he also made the ‘you don’t wanna see what’s inside my head’ remark while wearing those stupid snow goggles #< prev tag #giggling #// #hold on I wanna draw that #< further prev #PLEASE DO

Kaz = Black Cat (feral)

Inej = Gray Cat

Jesper = Siamese Cat

Wylan = Ginger Cat

Nina = Brown Cat

Matthias = White Mancoon Cat

#specifically feral cat #love that

[barrel-crow-n]

Seeing as Kaz fought like 10 guys and won...

Consider things like experience, intelligence and strength as you decide.

#most grisha are eh at non magical combat #and kaz can probably talk people down from murdering him (he did it with geels) #oh and he's insanely strong #maybe not buff but he was holding a mf by his ankles for ages

I never fail to find it funny when Matthias tells the Crows not to eat snow (Soc chapter 19) because it’s just so completely unprompted and I know it’s because he’s trying to just keep talking and not think about Nina but it just comes out of nowhere and every time I just imagine all of them glancing at each other to try and figure out who was eating the goddamn snow when they’re all freezing and if you’re thirsty then a) that’s not gonna help and b) you have a perfectly good water flask (they were probably all ready to suspect Jesper, except Jesper who was probably prepared to suspect either Nina or Wylan) but then it’s also such a stark horrifying juxtaposition that they find the pyre within the next two seconds and now that I’m writing this maybe that’s partially the point because that is exactly how it feels for them and the distinct horror of one moment thinking about eating snow and the next seeing that and Jesper having to shoot one of the victims and oh now I’m sad
