#jordy talks

[darthtaoshay]

I love Zach defending the people who are feeling deeply hurt by what happened and telling them to ignore the people making fun of them for a 'parasocial relationship'. You never seen creators do that

#jordy talks #im watching the trypod episode they just posted

[barrel-crow-n]

I was just thinking about how Kaz built this heartless persona for himself and how everyone falls for it to varying degrees: He's widely regarded as a monster and as "not made right"; Inej thought he wouldn't come for her and that once she was useless to him that he would discard her; Jesper never knows where exactly he stands with him; Nina "doesn't want to know what dark hole he crawled out of"; Wylan calls him "the most vengeful creature he had ever met"; Matthias believes he's a demon. But in reality his true motives for most things are love and grief and loss of family.

Kaz only wanted money for revenge, he didn't want to try and build a meaningful connection with Imogen because she would distract him from pursuing his vengeance, he only mentions how Pekka conned them out of money to explain how they ended up on the streets, how it was never about the money but about Jordie.

Kaz says that he and Jordie were such easy marks because they missed their dad. Kaz's biggest gripe was not just the loss of Jordie but the illusion of a home and family that Pekka had snatched away before the plague snatched Jordie away too.

It all always leads back to Jordie and his loss and avenging him and about never wanting to be that vulnerable again. Kaz created Kaz Brekker to protect himself, to hide his vulnerabilities. His grief is hidden behind a fake name, his naivety is hidden behind violence, his touch aversion is hidden behind the gloves.

Kaz pushes people away because he fears what will happen if he lets them in. He gets mean when he's vulnerable to hide said vulnerability. He did it in the clocktower, he did it in the bathroom. After he accidently calls Jesper Jordie he lashes out verbally and physically, when Inej asks about Jordie and Pekka's involvement in what happened he recounts how he tortured someone. In both incidents it's again Jordie that he's hiding, that is causing him to be vulnerable. It always leads back to Jordie. Even with Van Eck! He's again angry that he fell for what he fell for before, the thing that made him lose Jordie making him temporarily lose Inej.

In both the Jesper and Inej examples he hides behind violence - by brawling with Jesper and recounting a time when he tortured a young boy. He does this because he loves Inej and Jesper, and it scares him, and he doesn't know what to do with it. Because everyone he's ever loved has died in horrible ways (his father was torn apart by a plough, his brother died from a horrible sickness) and he doesn't want to go through it again - especially since he still hasn't let go of Jordie, although it has been eight years.

Kaz is a person who loves so deeply. Who is mainly motivated by love. Who, when Pekka asks him what he wants, replies "Bring my brother back from the dead." because he never cared about money, nor power, nor anything else. He just wants his brother. All he wanted this whole time is his brother, and since he no longer has him he lashes out, all hurt and grieving. He's hurting so badly that he destroys everyone even mildly involved in what took Jordie away from him. But he only did that because he loved Jordie. It wasn't revenge for the sake of money it was for the sake of love. It was for the sake of Jordie.

Kaz loved Jordie so much that he became the most feared person in Ketterdam, that he took down the King of the Barrel and a merchant from one of the oldest families in Ketterdam (because even if his gripe with Van Eck was unrelated, it's because of Jordie's loss that life snowballed into their interactions and the consequent betrayal and destruction of everything Van Eck held dear). Kaz loved Jordie so much that it changed the entire course of the narrative.

If not for Jordie's loss the heist wouldn't of happened, all of the Crows lives would've been different, some of the Crows would even most likely be dead, and this extends even further to much more major things. The King of Ravka managed to steal the titanium because of his help which will aid Ravka in wars, the path to jurda parem is no longer in the hands of the Fjerdans and a cure is being safely developed in Ravka because Kaz rescued Kuwei, Wylan took over the Van Eck empire because Kaz tampered with Van Eck's will and papers, Inej is working on taking down the slave trade which is only possible because Kaz freed her from her indenture, Nina became the queen of Fjerda because of things that Kaz started (her joining the Dregs instead of being indebted to the Dime Lions, him freeing Matthias, him organising the heist, Matthias dying in the aftermath, her going to Fjerda to bury Matthias and the results which ended up being her and her new lover on the Fjerdan throne trying to fix prejudice against grisha, and women, in the most conservative country).

All of it leads back to Kaz. And he did all of it for Jordie. It all always leads back to Jordie. Jordie and Kaz's love for his big brother and his grief over having him snatched away from him.

Not a single day goes by where I don't think about Kaz accidentally saying Jordie instead of Jesper in the fight in Crooked Kingdom.

#six of crows spoilers #soc spoilers #I have so many thoughts about it #and none of my friends like six of crows #so you guys have to hear about it #we dont talk about the jordie and jesper connections enough I think. #Jesper who has a gambling addiction and often wastes money he knows he needs #Jordie who bet all their funds on the chance they'd make it back #I think a lot about the way wylan let jesper put money into the stock market at the end #Jesper is like Jordie only Kaz isn't afraid to blame him for things #And it only males the relationship between them worse because Jesper's constantly searching for the approval that Kaz is afraid to give him #Am I making sense? #these books make me insane #six of crows #jordie rietveld #jesper fahey #kaz brekker #soc jesper #soc #soc kaz #Throwing this into the void and never looking back

#Spanish TV talking about Catalan activists and politicians who were jailed and exiled for political reasons (calling them ''run away from #justice'' (huídos de la justicia) as if they had chosen it and as if the Spanish judicial system wasn't a clearly biased political system #with the purpose of punishing dissidence) #and instead of using the photo of ex- political prisoners Jordi Sànchez they used a photo of a famous sitcom actor with the same name #that's how much these journalists know what they're talking about :') #coses de la terra #plats bruts

Kaz is a theater kid. Hear me out.

In Crooked Kingdom? When he bumps into Cornelis Smeet? And there’s that entire description of Kaz suddenly being a flustered boy with mussed hair and Smeet doesn’t even recognize him.

The scene before that too where he tells Wylan that he looks more suspicious than Thief Number Three in the Komedie Brute?

The fact that all his disguises are literally costumes from the Komedie Brute because he steals them from a theater?

The fact that Kaz is good at bluffing?With the second chapter of six of crows with Geels where he makes Geels believe that his girl is in danger?

The fact that he literally learned how to do magic tricks?? Like idk how this relates to theater kids but. I’m sure it does. Somehow.

THE ENTIRETY OF CHAPTER 37 IN CK ?? The way Kaz becomes literally the most unhinged manipulative person and then as soon as Rollins leaves and Inej asks him if his son will be safe Kaz just goes “lol wdym” LIKE HELLO?? He definitely rehearsed that.

A bit of a bonus, the entire Ivanovski bit in the show. Need I say more.

And of course, Kaz is literally the most dramatic character ever and if that doesn’t scream theater kid idk what does.

In conclusion, Kaz Rietveld was a theater kid and Kaz Brekker uses that to his advantage.

edit bc I’m too lazy to reblog this but HOW COULD I FORGET THE DREGS FIGHT ?! Istg that whole thing was a PERFORMANCE

#kaz is a theater kid I will die on this hill #oh god just imagine #little kaz and jordie rietveld watching stage plays before they had to sell the farm and move away #crying sobbing just thinking of them #grishaverse #six of crows #crooked kingdom #kaz brekker #kaz rietveld #constellama talks

[bitchthefuck1]

We always talk about how Kaz in some ways sees Wylan as a younger version of himself, but I feel like we never really acknowledge that he basically ends up looking after Wylan the way he wished Jordie had protected him.

#i feel like the 'kaz is wylans dad' takes are kind of a huge reduction of their relationship #like id you really look at how they treat and interact with each other it looks way more like an older brother keeping an eye out for his #sibling based on his own experience than anything even remotely paternal #kas treats wylan like an equal who just knows less than him and wylan treats kaz like an annoying older brother who he cares about but #won't pass up an opportunity to bicker with or talk back to #i also think from a psychological standpoint this is in part what helps kaz to see jordie in an honest light and start to heal from being #let down by him as a kid. he can acknowledge that jordie was very flawed and failed to protect him while also realizing that his brother #was a kid like him doing his best #that and getting over some of his shit with jesper #there's literally so much to unpick with these relationship dynamics leigh bardugo went the fuck off #theres just so much here #kaz brekker #wylan van eck #six of crows #soc #crooked kingdom #image description in alt

[just-jordie-things]

Jordie pleaseee ;-; feed us more special grade reader acskxnsj the way you wrote their technique what the hECK man I crave more— *stands like a disparaged Victorian child*

please kind lady, would you spare us some facts about the reader and their technique? it would ease the chill that the plague had inflicted upon me *cOUGH*

OMG REALLY REALLY ??? YES I'D LOVE TO TELL Y'ALL MORE ABOUT IT !!!

i called it Fate's Handler !! here's some stuff from my notes abt it:

the user of this ability is able to summon the ‘string’ of one’s lifespan when in close enough radius (about hand to hand distance).  <- i kinda pictured this like what the fates of past present and future do in greek mythology, hence the naming too :))

their cursed energy allows them to reach into their chest and retrieve the string from their soul.  then, if the opponent is weak enough, the user is able to cut that string and most likely end their life.  if their opponent is much stronger than them, then they may only be able to cause some damage to the string, which would weaken their opponent, but not kill them.

i never got to write any action scenes with it but i thought some dramatic flair would be a MUST when using this technique. maybe the eyes go white and the voice gets all echo-y... ooh i'm getting excited about it i hope i get the chance to play around with this technique more!!

i also kinda imagined them having a cursed tool too, but i never got that far in the fic. definitely a badass, vintage looking pair of iron shears tho !!! that would've been so fun to write. i had this idea that they were the ultimate murder weapon and that if they were used to break the string then that soul wouldn't be able to come back as a curse ??

thank you for asking about it!!! i really struggle with writing out full cursed techniques but this one was super fun and i feel it was a little wasted on the fic i used it for but... i really wanted to put an emphasis on how the reader was a special grade sorcerer for a reason, she was fully capable of defending herself and exorcizing curses in the same breath. i wanted her to come across as this all powerful (god like, as shoko would say) badass on the field... and then this sweet innocent, sheltered girl just trying to figure out herself and love for the first time outside of her work !!!

#hehe laying on my tummy kicking my feet in the air talking about cursed techniques :3 #why is naming them SO HARD THO #jordie says stuff

crawley in the lemire run is such an unstoppable force because not only can he see through the tricks of a god due to the copious amount of drugs he did as a youth, but he also shows no hesitation to sell his soul so his friends can get a ferry ride through space
