Ice Court Heist - Tumblr Posts

Detail I haven’t noticed anyone talking about

You know something I noticed about six of crows that I don’t see anyone talking about so maybe I’m just overthinking it?

Jan Van Eck is always on about how Wylan is stupid and useless because he can’t read, right? 

But Wylan goes on the Ice Court Heist, considered suicidal and impossible, and he may not be a POV character in SOC or as flashy as Jesper, but he does play an important role. He gives them information on the layout of the Ice Court. He draws maps. He gives us the iconic “just girls?” moment. He saves Jesper’s life by pretending to be drunk. He helps them at the harbor when they’re ambushed before leaving, setting off a flash bomb. He helps get the tank. He voluntarily disguised himself as Kuwei to trick his father--also to, you know, see if his dad would actually kill him, but it was hard to do, knowing he might never get his real face back again.

Nobody notices that Wylan can’t read or write for the ENTIRE novel. There’s a moment where he doesn’t have his map labeled, but I only caught it on a reread, and his explanation that he doesn’t know Fjerdan is honestly convincing. Nobody thinks about how he has trouble reading signs or thinks too hard on why he doesn’t have his map labeled. Wylan gets through a whole ass novel without anyone noticing his inability to read. The book doesn’t have to go into long arguments about how not being able to read or write, or being otherwise unable to do things that others can or exactly the way they can, doesn’t make you stupid or helpless. Because Kaz shows us long before we get deep into his own thoughts regarding his disability. And Wylan showed us way before we even knew he had one.

Anyways, Six of Crows is a gift to humanity, bless Leigh Bardugo :)

I will never move on from how not only did the Crows steal the tank from the Ice Court, but the entire time Wylan is smiling to himself and then absolutely LOSES IT once they've escaped. Like the crew has just stolen a tank from a high-security prison, narrowly escaping death, but Wylan physically can't stop laughing and is quite literally snorting with laughter at the image of the Fjerdans firing uselessly in the tank's direction with the Fjerdan might banner caught in its treads. He could have died but he's laughing hysterically at how stupid the Fjerdans look as they failed to prevent literal children (who have STOLEN ONE OF THEIR TANKS) from escaping their high-security prison. This has got to be one of my favourite underrated Wylan moments.

SOC and CK spoilers!!

And he thinks of Jesper as a brother to the point where he accidentally called him Jordie and even went so far as to make Colm’s alias Jordie’s middle and last name🥲

Watch it turn out like Scooby Doo 2 when they swap bodies or souls or whatever happened with that and it just sounds wrong😭

Why are there so many meme templates that are perfect for Wylan’s inability to read😭

Being a grishaverse fan that’s read the books is so satisfying because I already know exactly what season 2 is about…trust me show-only people…it’s gonna be so good🥴

Possible spoilers for Shadow and Bone season 2

Seriously guys, if you don’t want it spoiled and you haven’t read the books, scroll please

You know the Six of Crows obsession is bad when your science teacher is talking about how it’s hard to get inside the cell membrane but it’s easier to get out and your first thought is “omg just like the Ice Court!! I wonder if there are molecules like the Crows who are there for a heist?”. I think I need psychiatric help, this cannot be normal
