People Talking About How Transgender Is This Brand New Concept.

People talking about how transgender is this brand new concept.

San Francisco:

1920s mother fuckers. 1920s.

when she says she doesn’t send nudes

Tumblr is like hiding in the closet, but it’s a fun walk in closet with your iPad, snacks, and a blanket.

This is so important. I always see either “this is why they are perfect” or “this is why he is to toxic and she deserves better” this is the armor. This is what Inej said to take off to be with her. This is why they work, in the beginning he pushed her away using her trauma to keep her from his.

This is the before of character development.

Okay, I thought this was old news, but apparently people still think Kaz calling Inej an investment was cute and romantic. My friends, this is not a safe, sane, or consensual way of thinking!

Kaz Brekker, my guy… I love him, but in this moment, he’s not at a point in his character arc where he is willing to except his own feelings beyond begrudgingly platonic. Even later on the Ferolind, he describes the voice in his head that goes You, Inej. You. as unwelcome.

“But he’s Kerch!! Good investments are important and valued to the Kerch!!”

The merchers value good investments, I’m sure. But those are the people Kaz Brekker mocks, sneers at, and looks down upon.

And he’s smart. He knows exactly what to say to push people away, to rile them up, to create distance because distance is safe. Inej had been taken and sold and sold and sold and sold, and she just shortened his carefully maintained distance with the words You came back for me (love that foreshadowing btw). So he pushes back, he reinforces his armor, he knows what being reduced to monetary value means to Inej. He knows that she had been Heleen’s investment and that the result of that was deeply scarring.

Tldr; once again reducing a former sex slave to a monetary value isn’t sweet. It was meant to push her away and we shouldn’t advocate for such behaviors just because they’re coming from a pretty white boy.
