*really in the mood to reread the shadow and bone trilogy just for Malina content*

whispers : Currently writing an essay about Alina and Mal

Okay, but why was everyone all up on Alina's face about destroying the Fold as if that would somehow end the wars? The Fold is one thing and yes, it is limiting resources, but the land dispute they have with Shu Han and the general hostility they face with Fjerda seems separate and likely would not have suddenly been resolved if the Fold was gone?

#the entirety of season 1 political plot was mad #if they were fighting with the west OR if they couldn't have access to some resources that would make sense #ie children are dying because we don't have enough food and our neighbors are using that against us instead of cooperating thru trade etc #but that was so not it? #shadow and bone season one #just saw baghra say how many more kids need to be orphaned to this war bc you sre afraid to face the truth #and literally none of this can be solved via alina like WRONG BASKET ma #*ma'am #leave my bby alone pls #alina starkov #also sb tell me if i am misremembering or missing sth #shadow and bone #shadow and bone rewatch

one of the funniest things about show!wesper is that at first, Wylan is this poor, dirty kid from the barrel, but Jesper doesn't care because he loves him. then Jesper eventually finds out that his boyfriend is actually stupid rich and he accidentally found a sugar daddy

#sugar daddy wylan is one of my favorite cannon things #like he was playing for spare change and suddenly he inherits his father's fortune #wylan hendriks #jesper fahey #wesper #jack wolfe #kit young #shadow and bone #six of crows #grishaverse #shadow and bone season 2 #crooked kingdom #ruin and rising #siege and storm

Inej really just said "he would not fucking say that," so hard it snapped her out of a poison induced hallucination huh.

#shadow and bone season 2 spoilers #six of crows #kanej #all jokes aside i love how well they know each other #and sure inej wants that future #one where kaz can be open and vulnerable with her #where they can truly be together the way she wants #but she knows this isnt really him he hasn't gotten to that point yet #and she only wants it if its actually real if he's put in the effort to heal for her

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.

#there’s so much about wylan that the fandom just ignores #and this one is no exception #“his trauma isn’t as bad as the other crows’" say that again i dare you #as if being an abuse victim isn’t traumatic #wylan deserves better #wylan my beloved #wylan van eck #wylan hendricks #six of crows #crooked kingdom #grishaverse #shadow and bone #six of crows spin off #shadow and bone season three #jack wolfe #leigh bardugo #sab cast #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #jesper fahey #nina zenik #matthias helvar

i’m really interested to see how they play the many different languages of the grishaverse when it comes to the crows, like there are many instances where they play a large part in the story. kuwei not being able to understand a lot of kerch, nina matthias and wylan being the only ones that speak fjerdan, nina and matthias knowing kaelish, matthias not knowing ravkan and zoya not knowing fjerdan (their interaction of “only speaking in a language everyone inderstands)

i say this because in the book-verse, kaz and jesper don’t speak ravkan, so they wouldn’t realistically be able to talk to alina and mal. it’s not like they decided that everyone only speaks one language, because they have nina and matthias speaking fjerdan and nina saying that she speaks six languages, so i’m curious to see how they’re going to handle it.

Jesper “guard against pain” vs Wylan “guard against joy”

Jesper’s jokester and confident façade was to protect himself from feeling pain, but inside he’s insecure and vulnerable. He hid his grisha nature because the only person who ever treasured it was taken away from him, and grew up being told that it was a curse. So instead he acts like he doesn’t need it. He acts like he takes all the losses and all the hurtful things in good stride but deep inside he’s feeling lost and guilty all the time. That boy is always bouncing on his feet with guilt all the time in the duology. Guilt for disappointing everyone: his father, Kaz, Inej, his mother, and himself. When he thought about Wylan at the end of SOC he thought Wylan wouldn’t want to hang out with criminals like him anymore once he got the money and that had stung more than he thought: it’s the boy inside him feeling abandoned again, the boy that does no good to anyone other than in a fight. And he cope with all that pain, that guilt, with his addiction and his gunslinging - which no one really paid any mind until Wylan saw through his façade.

Wylan, whose joy and hope was taken away from him by his father, was always made to feel less than, shared the same constant feeling of guilt for just being who he is. His father made sure of it, that he knows he’s not allowed to feel anything but anxious and guilt, and his joy was to be choked out of him (metaphorically and literally). Wylan in the show couldn’t even believe when Jesper told him he was smart, thinking it was just a trick to coddle him into some false sense of joy before it would be taken away again. Wylan in the books still holding on to the last shred of decency for his father until that moment at Saint Hilde, instead blaming himself for it, maybe because it would give him a false sense of control over his own pain. Until Jesper saw his own guilt mirrored in Wylan, and helped him to his feet.

Both Jesper and Wylan were able to keep some part of goodness in the face of everything that happened in their lives: Jesper with his good spirits, Wylan with his morals - standing up against Kaz again and again despite being threatened every time. In Jesper, Wylan learned to accept joy again, and that this won’t be taken away from him. And in Wylan, Jesper knew that he has a safe space where he can accept his pain and heal from it in a healthy way.

“You can love something despite seeing all of its flaws.”

Anyway, Wesper is each other’s safe haven.

#i love this part in the show they really understood wylan and jesper by showing each line with their face #does this make any sense im just rambling #anw welcome to my reread of soc and ck every time i pick one of the crows to hyper analyze #this time it’s jesper and wylan #wesper #wylan van eck #jesper fahey #wylan hendriks #six of crows #shadow and bone #shadow and bone season 2 #netflix shadow and bone #sab spoilers #crooked kingdom #sab #soc meta #kit young #jack wolfe #jesper x wylan #the lighting on this part is ATROCIOUS #soc spoilers #ck spoilers

The Darkling this, Sankta Alina that, why is nobody talking about Sankta Neyar?

“‘Weakness’” “Hundreds of years I closed my heart, as if that was the solution to ending all pain” “what a safe way to live, and what a small way” “you guard against pain, you guard against joy” “two worlds make a universe”

“He’s not my weakness, he’s my universe.”

Fuck whatever mess those two have over there, I want a love like THAT. He may not be her last or her first, but that doesn’t mean their time loving each other was meaningless, even in the grand scheme of things, because some people are worth losing.

Wylan being your favorite crow is all fun and games until you only rewatch season 2 because you can't bear not seeing him in season 1

In light of Freddy’s incredible performance in season 2 I was reminded of this old tweet I had saved

Jesper is so whipped for Wylan because what do you mean that one second after Wylan says Ketterdam doesn't feel like home you make him a key to your room and ask him to live with you.

#they're in love your honor #jesper is whipped and no one can convince me otherwise #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #wesper #six of crows netflix #shadow and bone season 2 #shadow and bone netflix
