Hello! You have been gifted the brain dump bug! Use when you want an excuse to talk about something that's been rotating in your brain!
The main question that’s been rotating in my brain:
The mystery of Inej Ghafa’s brother, Harij Ghafa.
He was first mentioned in s1 of Shadow and Bone, and I just wanna ask why.
What was the purpose? She didn’t have a brother in the books that we’re aware of, so what was the point?
In the context of the show, he was taken along with her. But wouldn’t Inej have mentioned seeing him in the slaver ship as well? Wouldn’t that have been her main motivation for hunting slavers so she could also try to find her brother?
I feel this is a very untapped resource, but how it is now, adding him was unnecessary, since his existence provides literally nothing.
I am not over the fact that Jesper didn’t realise he’d met Wylan before until he was literally on top of him. He didn’t recognise his one night stand until he was On Top Of Him,,,, that’s the angle he had to have to remember his face,, there’s only one image that’s fitting for this.
Shadow and Bone adaptation is so fun you’ve never seen a more perfectly cast show acting their hearts out paired with the weirdest writing decisions in your life
Here's what I'm thinking about on this fine evening: Ketterdam has a HUGE CANAL SYSTEM that runs pretty much through the entire city and I, somehow, completely missed that.
Here's the Ketterdam map, right? We know her. We love her.
BUT, let's zoom in a little:
You can see very clearly here that those thicker, darker colored lines connect distinctly into the harbor, which means that they are ALSO WATER.
So, if a person with a Six of Crows obsession and maybe a little too much time on their hands were to take that map and color it so that all of the water was blue, it would look something like this:
Now, I may just be stupid, but I'd like to believe there is at least one other person who will be as baffled upon seeing this post as I was when I made this realization. It's water!! Canals are a major form of transportation in Ketterdam!! This not only is very interesting to me in regards to Ketterdam’s culture, but it also changed the way I pictured the city in my head. This is life-changing stuff, people.
there is something just stunning about how freddy managed to hit the bullseye with kaz this season like from his chilling monologue in episode 4 to his packed silences while just looking at inej to the sly humor in “everyone has lost their minds” to his facial expressions when getting the shit beat out of him??? he completely took over the season and aced every hidden kernel of kaz
