every now and then i gotta do an art style check by drawing kaz and inej again

[maidenofcrows]

Something that I think about entirely too often is that scene in the first episode of Netflix Shadow and Bone where Kaz has his back turned (just before Inej is introduced) and there’s a moment where the vest he’s wearing becomes a bit of a focal point and we can see that the lines on this vest don’t match up. The lines are lining, but only just, and it lives inside my brain live a swarm of bees.

Nina treating Inej's wound

Nina: You know, Inej, my mother once taught me to kiss a wound so it will heal faster ^-^

Matthias overhears

Matthias:

Matthias: Kaz.

Matthias: I want you to punch me in the face. As hard as you can.

Kaz: Say no more, bitch.

I would sell all of you out for Inej Ghafa btw <3

Do you ever think about the like ... intimacy implications(?) of Inej wearing Kaz's gloves to climb the incinerator? Like she gets inside of a part of him, a part no one else has seen. She understands him better because of it, sees just how the gloves are made. She can't touch him but touches the thing that's closest and most intimate to him. She finds what keeps him sane and returns it to him. It's nearly erotic without being sexual, don't you think?

Hello and welcome to episode 4 of DK Finally Gets It Together And Answers Her Asks Because It's About Damn Time (the title's growing on me)

Ep One - Ep Two - Ep Three

As always sorry for how long it had taken me to get to this ask but thank you very much for sending it, let's talk!

YES

I in fact think about this an awful lot. For me, there are two specific details about Inej putting Kaz's gloves on that feel very intimate and the first is her own hesitance to do so. She talks about how she knows that Kaz would tell her to just get on with it but that she feels as though she's violating his privacy by taking them - I don't have my book on me but I'm pretty sure she says it feels like going into his rooms and rifling through his belongings without permission. The second thing that feels incredibly intimate to me when I read this scene is that when Inej notices that the gloves are unlined and have thin slashes in the fingertips she realises that this is so he can maintain contact with cards or coins or so on when pickpocketing and performing slight of hand and she describes it as "touch without touch". TOUCH WITHOUT TOUCH.

INEJ WEARING KAZ'S GLOVES IS TOUCH WITHOUT TOUCH. THEY ARE SO CLOSE AND YET THEY ARE SO FAR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER and I'm pretty sure that it's after this scene once they're on the roof together that Inej says it's the first time they've touched skin on skin (though please correct me if I'm wrong) so this is the closest they've ever got to touching before!!!!!!!!!!

I may simply melt into a puddle thinking about them

This post by @dwyntwo has been in my head

#what a strange little gremlin dude I love him

Jesper: I love the phrase "cruel and unusual" not only is what you're doing mean but it's also quite frankly fucking bizarre

Information I got from Leigh's tour Q&A

- Matthias was inspired a bit by Zuko (from alta)

- Leigh didn't realise, but there are aspects of Kaz being a self insert. She feels like she's like Wylan at heart. She feels like Nina on a good day

- Writing her second novella at the moment, and hopefully plans to write the next Alex Stern book next

The Crows' Aesthetics✨

Shadow and Bone but I made it modern and gave them Instagram

Aka the sequel to the crows version I did of this (and thus from the same coffee shop au)

@bohemian-rhapsody-in-blue gave me the idea of Tolya having a poetry account that was popular with all the literature gays and I wholeheartedly agreed with that

If this gets enough notes, I will ask Callahan to make a video of him reciting the "meeting you was a disaster" and hopefully he'll do it.

[maidenofcrows]

i know these crows aren't friends but just let me dream!

[maidenofcrows]

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.

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

[maidenofcrows]

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.
