@chocoescapist here you go sweetie ! Yuri in Sweetest Chill, because I just got out of a Skateboards and Sodas request and was kinda sick of it. (+TV grain effect because???? It looked nice????I cheated a bit lol, it slightly changed the tint)

If it doesn’t suit your taste for an icon (She’s not doing anything cute either, I went with the flow... GEEZ wrong palette and I don’t even do what you ask of me what kind of shitty person am I sorry) then I’ll be happy to give it another try, so don’t be afraid to ask ok ? :)

-Kaz loves her hair

-I mean he LOVES it

-Sometimes, when they're alone, he just starts playing with her braid

-He doesn't even realize that hes doing it sometimes

-Once, when he was doing it, she took his and moved it gently to the side

-He panicked and though she was annoyed with him

-But she was just undoing her braid so he could play with more of her hair

-This becomss their routine

-Whenever Kaz starts playing with her hair, Inej will reach back and undo it

-Kaz even learns how to lots of complicated, fancy hairstyles

-He's always up to date about how the rich of Ketterdam are doing their hair

-Inej thinks it the sweetest thing in the world

-She always insists on showing Wylan and Jesper her fancy hair

-They always get really excited to see her hairstyles and make a big deal out of it

-Kaz pretends to be annoyed by this, but he secretly loves it

-And he loves how shocked Nina is when she realizes that he can do hair

Yeah alcohol's cool but have you ever waltzed with your enemy in their masquerade ball, their face inches away from yours and their arms wrapped around you tightly? Me neither, pass the bottle

I can’t stop thinking about how Inej tells Wylan that “we are not our fathers” after he apologises to her for J*n kidnapping her. Wylan has spent his whole life believing that he's the problem, taking responsibility for his father’s wrongdoings due to how much J*n shifted the blame to him (a behaviour typical amongst abusers). For instance, his immediate response to Inej's abduction is self-blame despite knowing that "he couldn’t have prevented his father from double-crossing the crew and kidnapping her. He knew that, but he still felt responsible." The guilt is eating away at him because he's so accustomed to taking the blame for J*n’s actions, then Inej reassures him that he isn't the man his father is and it's like something inside him shifts. Imagine the relief that would have flooded through him hearing Inej’s words: for the first time in his life, someone isn't dumping that responsibility onto him. Instead, someone is telling him that he isn't the problem, that he has no debts to pay, that he's only human and not defined by the faults of his father. All he's ever wanted is to do something right, to not be the problem he's been constantly told he is and believes himself to be. It's as though this suffocating weight he's been carrying with him his whole life has been lifted off his chest and he can finally, finally breathe.

(That's not to say that those words alone heal him entirely, because trauma doesn't work that way - nevertheless, it's a start. It's given him a gentle nudge in the right direction of his path to healing.)

and since i was talking about Inej and colors in my last post, all of the crows have “assigned colors”

so much so that i could literally show you a picture of six colorful blocks and you’d be able to tell it’s the crows.

to demonstrate:

Ladies and Gentlefolk, 6 of the most dangerous criminals in Ketterdam

told you

you know what fuck it im going to post this drawing i did for my commissions info page by itself because i think it looks pretty good

My least favorite thing about multiple pov books, is how the author inevitably tries to switch povs consistently but there are always those parts where one pov is full of action and really interesting and the other (s) is soooo boring in comparison. And I have to force myself to not skip the boring povs temporarily, and I hate it

Soc fic idea

Jordie's still alive. Kaz lives a double life. Way back then, Jordie almost died and Kaz had to save them and fell into the dark side of ketterdam. He couldn't bring himself to admit the awful things he was a part of to Jordie and instead spent more and more time away from him to participate in gang jobs to make enough money. (Maybe Jordie has some sort of long covid type thing after initially not dying) Kaz gets them a room/apartment, but sneaks out when he can to rejoin the gang, until eventually he's spending more time away than with Jordie. Jordie doesn't know about what Kaz does while he's away and the crows don't know about Jordie.

I'm really tempted to make her name Nadine just for @oneofapollosillegitimatekids because I appreciate the tags

I've currently used three of the names and I'll decide which one sticks later. Here's the link to the first chapter, and I'll update when I can!

Please give opinions + reblog, I'm working on a piece and would appreciate the help!

What if I rewrote Anika to be Kaz's sister? If she joined the dregs pre SoC, then the timeline works with canon. Alternatively, Anika can get a role as an older sister to Kaz's sister, which is also a good option.

Maybe Inej wasn't just hurt that being called an investment meant Kaz saw her as an object and not a person, maybe it also hurt because that's what she was to Tante Heleen

So canonically, Kaz is totally jacked. Like he holds the weight of a grown man on multiple occasions. And I don't know about anyone else, but if I take a couple weeks off from working out, my muscle mass tanks, so like. Kaz must be working out like every single day. That's the real reason Kaz doesn't sleep much. Does paperwork all day, works out all night. Inej gets back from a mission and goes to drop off a contract at 3 am and Kaz is just doing vertical pushups
