Sometimes I randomly remember that Kaz is the only member of the Crows who only speaks one language and for no apparent reason I find that endlessly amusing.

Like, the comedic potential here? Nina and Inej girl talking but as soon as he walks in the room they switch to Ravkan?? Wylan and Nina chatting in Kerch but then switching to Fjerdan when Matthias walks in and suddenly Kaz has completely lost track of the conversation?? Jesper saying something to Kaz in Zemeni that makes Nina howl with laughter, but neither of them will tell him what it was??? It’s so funny to me.

He would also absolutely start learning another language out of sheer spite if they did this, but I think it would be hilarious if he chose Kaelish and tried to use it with Jesper and Jesper would just be like “… I don’t speak Kaelish. I just know a little bit… I can sing in Kaelish, if you want?” and Kaz is so disappointed by this but he can’t show it so he just starts yelling at Nina in Kaelish instead. She corrects his pronunciation and he nearly murders her.

Everyone’s having fun.

It would have been so damn funny if the Crows showed up in Ravka during Shadow and Bone and there was a language barrier. I mean, just imagine.

They're in the little palace, and Kaz and Inej are in disguise, someone asks Kaz something and he just looks at her in panic. So she's just like "Sorry, he's awful with people, what do you need?" Or the exchange with Alina and the Crows. She tries to leave and Kaz stops her with his cane and says something in Kerch, but there's a pause before Inej translates since she doesn't really want to go against her Saint, so there's five seconds of him just glaring at Alina in total silence as Jesper looks between Inej and Kaz, absolutely exhausted.

Or that scene where Jesper is fighting the Grisha guy in a laundry room. They're just shouting back and forth but neither of them can understand the other, so it's just this chaotic vaguely Dutch-Russian sounding exchange of comments that have nothing to do with each other being shouted on screen.

My best friend just reminded me that Ketterdam fashion is based off Victorian fashion.

That scene in SoC where he strips in front of Inej is 10000x funnier now just picturing him like

*takes off blazer* *takes off waist coat* *takes off Ascot* *takes off collar* *takes off dress shirt* *takes off cover* *takes off padding* *takes off corset cover* *takes off corset* *takes off undershirt*

Fun fact!

I feel like I know Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom inside out and back to front; I’ve read them somewhere around 20 times each, I have written multiple analyses of them, I have actively studied the map of Ketterdam for the purposes of accuracy in both analyses and fic writing…

…And I was today years old when I realised that the Lid is called the Lid because it’s a straight road that’s literally on top of the Barrel. Like it is the Lid. I just -

It even makes symbolic sense because it’s the ‘classiest’ of the gambling dens and it’s where men like Smeet go to feel adventurous when it’s not actually dangerous like the Barrel is and it’s literally on top of the rest of the Barrel like the classism message is so loud I can’t believe myself rn

If Kaz Brekker doesn’t break someone’s leg in the show, calmly wipe of the blood from his cane while listening to their scream and say “I’d recommend a cane” I don’t want another season.

You know how in the old days French is the language of courts and diplomacy and refinement, and how their cultural stuff gets exported, and a lot of Russians spoke French as a first language and Russian as their second

In grishaverse it's probably Kerch

Which brings me to the image of someone decrying Nikolai's heritage saying 'He's not even Ravkan!'

And Nikolai says 'So is the court. It seems I reign over Kerch merchers and their mevrouws.'

Nah.

Kerch looks like a rough crude language, suitable for trade and haggling, while French language and culture are renowned as a symbol of elegance and sophistication. While I like the idea of "language of nobility", Kerch isn't an option I can imagine (Perhaps maybe in more trade-focused West Ravka.).

But hey- Grishaverse is either severly underdeveloped, when worldbuilding's concerned, or there's way too much we haven't even heard of, so if I were to pick between ordinary Ravkan and Kerch for aristocracy, I'd go for "secret third thing", whatever we'd want it to mean...

When we're at the topic of different way of speaking in different classes, Ravka badly lacks linguistic expression of divine right of Tsar. The King (Or what the hell is that guy's title...) isn't just a man with a crown! He's a person-shaped representation of the state! Saints-appointed to rule the country! Where's the Royal We?!

“Moi Tsar, Your Majesty” he said in clear tones. “Alina Starkov, the Sun Summoner.” ... “Come, come! Bring her to Us.” The Darkling and I walked to the base of the dais. The King scrutinized me. He frowned, and his lower lip jutted out slightly. “She’s very plain... Show Us,” the King commanded.

Shadow and Bone- Chapter 7

(The adressing's weird too. There's "Your highness, moi tsar" in the original quote without capitals, plus the order makes it look like Darkles is speaking to a Prince first, then the King/Tsar... well... I've re-wrote it so we can read is as acknowledging the Queen, who's also present.)

If we wanted to get wild, Royalty could refer directly to their servants in third person (Instead of "(You will) Bring me..." "She will bring me...").

“We didn’t ask to see this witch.” ... “She is a traitor to the Crown. We want her head.” To my surprise, Genya said to Nikolai, “I will take my punishment if he takes his.” The King’s face flushed purple. Maybe he’d have a heart attack and save us all a lot of bother. “She will stay silent among her betters!” Genya lifted her chin. “I have no betters here.” She wasn’t making this any easier, but I still wanted to cheer. The Queen sputtered. “If she thinks that—” Genya was trembling, but her voice stayed strong as she said, “If he cannot be tried for his failures as a king, let him be tried for his failures as a man.” “That ungrateful whore,” sneered the King. “That’s enough,” Nikolai said. “Both of you.” “We are Ravka’s King. We will not—” “You are a King without a throne,” said Nikolai quietly. “And I respectfully ask that you hold your tongue.”

Ruin and Rising- Chapter 7

Genya and Nikolai refering to the King as to a single person would also serve to emphasise his lack of power at the moment.
