We all talk about how Wylan was abused by his father, but what I don’t see a lot of people talking about is how J*n didn’t even allow his son to grieve his mother’s loss. At that age, Wylan probably would have only started to grasp the concept of death, and he also needed time to process and grieve Marya’s finality - and J*n wouldn’t let him do either. And to make matters worse, Wylan needed his father there for him during that time and instead J*n just gave up on him. He wouldn't even let Wylan talk about his mother and instead expected him to simply suppress his grief because "it didn’t pay to dwell on the past". This would have done just as much emotional and mental damage to Wylan as his father’s abuse and I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about it.

Thinking about how Kaz was so possessive and obsessive over Fifth Harbour because that's the place where he crawled out of the sea no longer as Kaz Rietveld, but as Kaz Brekker, and how that place was his start of darkness and the beginning of his hunt for revenge. But then he gifted Inej a ship there. He told her that her berth would also be free for when, if, she decided to come back, because she is under no obligation to. That's where he gave Inej her parents back. He made his place of start of darkness, to the place of his start back to light, and healing.
Thinking about how Kaz always fixates on the smallest details, and no matter how symbolic it is in an analysis, it's more symbolic to him as a person in the story.

was feeling kinda iffy at first about the s&b hallucination scene because i was screaming at my laptop screen that IT'S HARD FOR INEJ TOO!!! KAZ'S TRAUMA ISN'T THE ONLY TRAUMA TO GET IN THE WAY!!!!!! SHE ALSO HAS TOUCH AVERSION!!!!! but after sitting on it for a couple weeks i've realized that... yeah, that's the point. in the hallucination we see kaz disarm her, disarm himself, remove his gloves before ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO TOUCH HER, and inej just... stares at him, with fear and hope and confusion and Want and she wants to pull away so badly because she knows that this is wrong but what if it isn't and god she wants to be closer to him she wants to feel his hands on her body but it Hurts AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THAT IN HER EYES, IN HER WIDE EYES AND HER HESITATION AND HER LIPS ALMOST TOUCHING HIS BEFORE SHE PULLS AWAY, HURT BECAUSE SHE KNOWS IT ISNT REAL AND SHE KNOWS HOW HARD IT IS TO BE WITH HIM LIKE THIS AND I THINK THAT'S SO FUCKING. BEAUTIFUL AND FUCKED I NEED THESE TWO PEOPLE TO GO TO THERAPY SO FUCKING BADDDDDDD

you’re in the wind, i’m in the water (inej becoming a captain and owning her own ship and kaz’s backstory of almost drowning and developing haphephobia)
nobody’s son, nobody’s daughter (kaz literally having no parents and inej feeling unworthy of her parents love after harming and killing)

Kaz, stuck in a cell with Jesper and Wylan: Listen, I'm not claustrophobic, but youre going to have to move
Jesper: What does claustrophobic mean?
Wylan: That he's scared of Santa claus
Kaz: No it-
Jesper: Ho Ho Ho!
Wylan, panicked: Stop it Jesper you're scaring him!

inej literally said the worst of her trauma wasn't what the men did to her, she said it was tante heleen. she'd hug you, hold you close, then pinch so hard, she broke skin. you never knew if a kiss was coming or a slap. one day you were her best girl, and the next day she'd bring you to her office and tell you she was selling you to a group of men she'd met on the street. she'd make you beg her to keep you. and the show did not deliver

Ex-Religious Jesper
Little Jesper, whose mother taught him all about the Zowa Saints. He would listen to the stories eagerly, one of the only times he would sit quiet and still. Entranced by the stories of Sankta Neyar, Sankt Egmond, and Sankta Margaretha, who had the same powers as him and his mother.
Little Jesper, who when his mother died and left him behind, stopped believing in the Saints. Not only encouraged by his father, but also due to the fact that his mother was not one of them. If they couldn’t protect her, the least they could’ve done was make her one of them.
Teen Jesper, who came to Ketterdam and met Kaz and Inej, and recognized the names of the Saints of Inej’s blades. He’d made the mistake of acknowledging that fact, and she asked him if he too was a follower of the Saints. She’d looked so excited, he hadn’t had the heart to tell her that he’d stopped believing in the Saints a long time ago.
Teen Jesper, who squirmed under the guilt of his mother’s religion every time he sat down at the tables, took their names in vain, took a life. He was zowa, his mother had always hoped he would be something more than this.
Adult Jesper, who is growing into his powers again with the help of Wylan. He’s far from a Saint, but he isn’t hiding from his abilities anymore. He’s made peace with the idea of Saints, having met a few himself, but he still doesn’t worship them.
Adult Jesper, whose only Saint is Sankta Inej, still prays before each of Inej’s departures that she’ll come back safely, for the sakes of all of Ketterdam.

don't think about how without Kaz the rest of the Crows probably die on the streets of Ketterdam. Don't think about how Jesper probably would have fallen in with a different gang and gotten himself killed when he couldn't pay off his debts if Kaz hadn't saved him from that initial beating, or how Nina likely would have died working at the Sweet Shop if Kaz didn't get to her before Rollins, or how Matthias likely wouldn't have left Hellgate alive if Kaz wasn't there to arrange the pardon or break him out, or how Wylan probably would have died on the streets of the Barrel if Kaz wasn't there to protect him, or how Inej would have been trapped in the Menagerie indefinitely if Kaz wasn't there to convince Per Haskell to buy out her contact

headcanon that if Kaz and Inej have a baby girl that Jesper and Wylan are the official babysitters. they hold the baby up like simba to show her off to the dregs. They made a baby crow costume for her. Jesper/Wylan get one of those baby chest holders idk what they’re called. When Kaz and Inej come home the entire gang of the dregs are lined up outside the front door to meet their baby. Kaz realizes they can monetize off of this. Inej gives him a look and he says he was just joking.

My insight in this
Tumblr media
Imma say this: Kaz hates physical contact. the feeling of skin against skin is torturous for him.
 In Crooked Kingdom, Kaz was tailored by Genya and he said that he despised every second of it, the brush of her fingertips was horrible for him. 
Tumblr media
Nina knows about his adversion of skin to skin contact, she is aware of it and even though it stresses her and worries her, she still respects it. 
Tumblr media
Now, why do I think Kaz got punched instead of being tailored? Because he can’t feel someone touching him like that. 
So I believe that Kaz said to Nina “Punch me” while Nina tried to convince him to be tailored, but he refused. 
For him, the momentary skin to skin contact was better than the long lasting brush of Nina’s fingers. He’d rather have the physical pain than the memories. 
Nina had a million reasons to punch him in the face -Even I have reason to puch him in the face- but she still accepted his need to be simply punched. Because even though she doesn’t understands why, she respects it. 
In other words, this is not the comedy people are trying to come up. This is a different side of his trauma. Because even though he was in pain after being punched by the freaking bouncers, he still chose the pain of his injuries than the psychological pain of his memories.
