The Fact That So Many Countries Came Together To Intercept The Iranian Missles Before They Hit Israel

The fact that so many countries came together to intercept the Iranian missles before they hit Israel proves that those countries absolutely could prevent more strikes on Palestine; they simply choose not to. Even the ones who have called for a ceasefire.

Okay maybe I’m just late to the party realising this but you guys when Kaz talks about Geels and his girlfriend in chapter 2 of Six of Crows is it meant to be implicit reference to him and Inej as a set up for the rest of the duology???

This is the quote that made me think this just now:

“You love her, don’t you? Of course you do, no-one that fine should have ever looked twice at Barrel scum like you but she’s different. She finds you charming. Sure sign of madness if you ask me, but love is strange that way”

And then that’s followed by Geels giving up on all the planning and scheming he’s done to be able to kill Kaz so that Kaz won’t hurt Elise!?

The entire scene is about Kaz trusting Inej blindly to get to the other guard on time and save his life??

They talk about *geraniums* in the window box of 19 Burdtradt!!?????

The more I think about this the more I love it but idk maybe I’m reading into it too much? Lemme know what you guys think

Alastair Carstairs Headcanons

for @halosthetic

even though it’s not talked about like it is with jamie, alastair reads a shit ton

he really liked cafe au lait and croissants when he was in paris

if he ever buys new furniture, he makes sure that it’s impossible for anyone to fit under it so they can’t scare him

he can draw really well even though he never really showed much interest in it

cordelia used to dye his roots. this is not up for debate

tells adults in the clave to their face when they’re being dumb

after his fallout with charles, him and cordelia make fun of him behind his back at clave events 

he sleeps with three or some pillows and no one knows why

has no idea of the actual situation, so he feels incredibly bad for grace blackthorn that she has to put up with charles

the crows as olympic athletes

kaz

hear me out — table tennis

he'd definitely be one of the more precise players

nicknamed "dirtyhands" for his use of unconventional techniques and trolling his opponents with snake shots and hidden spin

his role models include natalia partyka and ma long

like partyka, he competes in both the olympics and paralympics (classification 9)

inej

i think the obvious choice is artistic gymnastics; she'd be absolutely unbeatable in beam with her amazing balance

her fans have started calling her "the wraith", alluding to the way she twists through the air with unbelievable grace and strength

her biggest rival, dunyasha lazareva, is one of the only gymnasts who can match her in skill

jesper

skeet shooting

ithink the variability of the sport would definitely be something jesper prefers over something like air rifle/pistol

he's a star in the sport shooting world and made his olympic debut at 17 after switching sport from equestrian

(he met wylan at the riding club and the rest is history)

wylan

modern pentathlon

there was a brief scandal with his father and former pentathlete which put him in the public eye, but now he's famous only for his performance in the modern pentathlon

he first appeared at the youth olympic games where he claimed gold by a large margin

now at his first olympic games all eyes are on him as the favourite to win

nina

at tokyo 2020 she's just a random competitor in judo, unknown to most of the world — and then suddenly she shocks the entire world with a gold medal that almost looked easy

now everyone knows not to underestimate her, as she looks to defend her olympic title

matthias

i mean, he's made out of pure muscle, so is it really a surprise to see matthias in olympic wrestling?

he has made a name for himself as six feet and four inches of pure strength and power

he makes the team for the second time, up against competitors like jarl brum, three time olympic gold medallist

need a fic where Kaz gets stabbed by Oomen rather than Inej and we get to see feral protective Inej and Jesper over him bc I’m sucker for when the protective character gets protected and it would catch the other crows so off guard bc at this point they never would’ve witnessed such violence coming from Inej and Jesper of all people like there aware there both dangerous but they never would’ve seen them like that

this would definitely change Matthias’s and Wylan’s initial relationships with all of them bc not only would they both realize Kaz isn’t infallible (which is how they sort of unconsciously perceive him) but also realize that, despite how they (Jesper and Inej) seem, they are just as capable of violence as the rest of the barrel

plus we could get a line like “ask the saints for me” from the show to Oomen or even her telling Jesper she’s “not going to waste her prayers” on Oomen 🤭

(also the horror of them realizing just how much they’re willing to do for Kaz, how much they both love him)

i really love it when people here are “not normal” about the things they love. yes!! break down the scene that you’ve been obsessing over for weeks! create incredibly intricate theories based on a few throwaway lines! explain why you love this character so much—458 reasons and counting, and with visual aids! i love to see people putting their heart and soul into not being normal!!!
