What's the matter with Kaz he manages to have a tender moment without throwing up and then starts telling Inej where he hid the body instead of talking about his feelings

#grishaverse #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #it’s the trauma baby #under no circumstances ever does he want anyone to know that he Feels. Emotes even. so this is how he covers it up #a few years into their relationship kaz is like hey inej i just want to remind you i’m an unlovable monster who has done terrible things #inej not looking up from her crossword: of course you are babe. unrelated but let me know if you want to talk

What We Would've Become

“A hand seizes her wrist. It’s encased in cool leather, and she remembers it clutching at her in a chapel in Ravka. Remembers the voice that came with it, saying Stay.”

Rating: G / Quirks: Developing Kanej, Showverse/Book Blend (post-s2), pre-IC heist, Post-Canon (showverse), Canon divergence (book verse)

The Strangeness of Home*

She shakes her head, feeling befuddled. “I don’t know what to tell them, Papa. What do I say?” He smiles sadly at her, and gently tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. “You say whatever you need to. Tell them as much or as little as you want. It is your story to tell, when–if–you want to tell it.”

Rating: M / Quirks: Inej Centric, Post-canon, Visit to Ravka (Inej only), Inej's parents, Inej's relatives, Angst with a Happy Ending, Minor Kanej

*a good standalone story with a follow up (the unexpected visitor) but also that one can be read a separate too. While Kanej is not the primary focus I would highly rec for the feels.

The Unexpected Visitor (WIP)

So yes, she can admit that this visit is a long time coming. At this point, his myth is nearly as grandiose among the caravan as it is in Ketterdam. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Rating: M / Quirks: Established Kanej, Post-canon, Inej's parents, Inej's relatives, Angst, Fluff, Healing! So much healing, a lot of hurt but healing, Inej and her Dad actually having a moment (it's what we deserve), Kaz and Inej's mom having moments, Inej's parents love Kaz... I can't stress enough people actually love Kaz and hate him too

Operation Kanej (WIP)

“The point,” Nina says, “is that Inej and Kaz clearly have feelings for each other, and would clearly make a great power couple, but are both too emotionally constipated to admit it. So we need to, you know, give them a little shove.”

#red rising #darrow of lykos #virginia au augustus #cassius au bellona #sevro au barca #victra au julii #lyria of lagalos #lysander au lune #I rise from the dead only to be immediately crucified by the red rising swifties #genuinely I enjoy much of Taylor’s discography but there were some Choices made on this album #that deserve to be clowned a bit and well #*squeezes big red nose* honk honk bitch

[insignificant457]

Apropos of all my musings about queer temporality and rejection of reproductive futurity etc etc I simply do not believe Kanej would ever have kids sorry. To my mind Kaz was born to be your dad's dubious, extremely rich friend who gives you a wodge of cash on holidays and birthdays, and Inej was born to offer to kill your ex and take you home when you're drunk and missed curfew and MUM WILL BE SO MADDD. To all Dregs-related children they're like the weird aunt and uncle who burn movies illegally onto DVDs for you, teach you to swear, let you eat loads of sugar, and then dump you back on your actual parents in order to shirk the consequences of all the sugar and swearing. All kids have to be sixteen before you get the 'so not only is Kaz in organised crime, he basically IS organised crime' chat. They hit your ex boyfriend's car. They bought you a pony. They said they'd bail you out of jail and you didn't think they were joking. Etc.

#grishaverse #kanej #yeah. YEAH. #they are so firmly childless to me sorry I cannot ever picture them with kids ever #not to say I haven’t enjoyed the occasional kanej baby fic but it’s very much in an au for me #kaz has been using the children of his enemies against them for years he is never opening himself up to that kind of karma #he got the magical universe equivalent of a vasectomy the minute pregnancy was even a remote possibility #and Inej is too focused on her work and has too much baggage around her bodily autonomy being stripped from her #she’s not signing up for that either #they Are the weird rich aunt and uncle who tell you stories you’re way too young for and drive you home from a party you got drunk at #while roasting you for it though

kaz will never not be the brother of a dead boy and im so normal abt how that's the big key piece of his self he tells inej abt In The Books. like everything else can come after first and foremost his brother is dead and kaz is alive. it's so

#six of crows #grishaverse #kaz brekker #jordie rietveld #god. i am so deep in kaz jordie feels lately that i am sick to my stomach #just like…as a youngest sibling i sometimes think about like… #there has never been a part of my life that you were not in. you existed without me but i have never existed without you #something something…that one quote that goes #if you have a sister and she dies do you stop saying you have one. or are you always a sister even when half the equation is gone #tragic siblings arc guaranteed to do irreparable damage to my psyche

[insignificant457]

So you have the same name on ao3?

Yep!

[insignificant457]

cool cool cool. cool. yeah. fine. don't even care. normal about it and like, don't even care at all. cool

#grishaverse #inej ghafa #kaz brekker #kanej #oh she LOVES loves him #‘Kaz loves Inej more’? false. #they are down equally bad and yet she still is able to recognize her own worth and is willing to leave him if he doesn’t work to change #s tier fictional relationship #no one else is doing it like them and no one ever will

Zuko: I must capture the Avatar to restore my honor, it is the only thing that matters. I will allow for no distractions. Iroh: Prince Zuko do you mind if we make port so I can indulge in dumb frivolous nonsense? Zuko:

#atla #zuko #uncle iroh #this is why they are the best dynamic to grace our screens in the last twenty years #dumbass energy unmatched

[insignificant457]

Zukos crew being the 41st is an addition I can’t stop thinking about.

Because on the one hand—part of the tragedy of the original was that despite all zuko suffered in their name, it didn’t do a damn thing. They were still sacrificed and zuko lost everything for it, and having his actions and words technically save their lives doesn’t give it the same hopelessness.

But on the other hand—the scene itself was incredible. Them all bowing to him as a thanks for his sacrifice for them had me Feeling. And Dallas does a great job because you can tell that zuko hates this, despite the fact that he’s finally earned the respect of his crew. Because for the past three years he’s been trying to convince himself that compassion is weakness. Because his father said so, because all compassion got him is disfigured and banished, and just when he’s trying so hard to remind himself of that—because he almost forgot for a second there, when the avatar seemed less like a threat and more like a kid—he comes back to find these people thanking him—honoring him—for the very thing he is trying so hard to stamp out.

#atla #avatar the last airbender #netflix atla #zuko #my boy. my cinnamon apple. my sun moon and stars. #live action adaptation awakened all the love in my heart for zuko again I’m going to be crying about him for 2-5 business days

Me, age six, standing in the doorway of my parents room to tell them I threw up

#atla #avatar the last airbender

[insignificant457]

This lady was really just attack on sight

“He is just a child” - ma’am I’m sorry but you are also attacking a child

#atla #this one got me so good ngl #definitely felt very in the spirit of the original

[insignificant457]

The live action avatar giveth (added zuko and Iroh backstory scenes, prominent sokka arc, shirtless Daniel dae Kim) and it taketh away (no righteously angry katara, aang literally never waterbending in the water season, separating the gaang too often to cover multiple arcs)

#atla #avatar the last airbender #netflix atla #was it as good as the original? of course not #but honestly they were fighting a losing battle adapting what is widely considered to be one of the most well executed tv shows of all time #so I was pleasantly surprised #there were changes I didn’t love but I still managed to have A Good Time #which is all I could really hope for honestly #the scenery was gorgeous the acting was good the fight coreogroaphy was engaging and easy to follow the effects were decent #all in all 7/10

[insignificant457]

Trying to put together a cohesive timeline for SoC/ck and I’ve only just now realized that a full five days pass between the bathroom scene/slat fight/meeting with the triumvirate and the auction? So you’ve got Jesper and wylan who have just sort of gotten together and Nina teaching Matthias all about fun meanwhile I know Kaz and Inej are avoiding each other in the halls of the geldrenner like

#grishaverse #six of crows #crooked kingdom #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #kanej #I know they’re busy with planning but do you think they ever arrived at the coffee maker at the same time #and had to pretend they weren’t intensely vulnerable with each other just a few days ago #Inej is like “hey do you maybe…wanna talk about it” and Kaz just bolts in the opposite direction

I can't believe some of you log on here and thirstpost about barrel vagrants. it makes me so sick. these men are the very pits of society and have never honoured ghezen a day in their lives. there are so many other young men who make their living in a reverent way. have some dignity.

guys I'm so sorry I've been MIA :( I found out that my landlord was using my rent on the staves rather than fixing my black mould problem so I pushed him out the window and told the stadwatch he must have fallen and died because he wasn't honouring ghezen and got away with it. anyway I think maybe the black mould explains the dirtyhands/sturmhond fic I was writing sorry :( but I WILL finish my fairy queen of istamere meta post once I've moved into my new lodging

SUBMISSION: sometimes I lie awake thinking about the time I fell down an entire flight of stairs at the slat when kaz was at the bottom, and he just stared at me (still lying on the floor), and then asked if I'd changed the beer kegs at the silver six yet. GIRL NO?!?!?!

#grishaverse #six of crows #this is beautiful. I’ve looked at this for five hours now

[insignificant457]

okay but the way the percy v clarisse fight was choreographed. like he’s good at this but you know his internal monologue is just WHAT THE FUCK x 100 and that’s mad impressive they were able to translate it onto screen so well

#percy jackson #walker is incredibly talented Percy is in good hands #idk what they’re putting in the water nowadays but the child actors of the last 10ish years are built different

[insignificant457]

i think my fav grover moment so far is him saying "also i'm 24" in the middle of a VERY drastic situation where he is trying to prep percy for what he is about to face. yes grover, the most important thing right now is explaining the satyr aging system. i can't wait for percy to bring it up like 5 episodes later when they're on better terms like "what the fuck did you mean when you said you were 24"

#percy jackson #percy jackson spoilers #grover underwood #I love Grover so much and the casting for him is so so good

Annabeth’s got a plan. Percy’s on it. When it’s time, he’s gonna be ready. I know it.
