The Crows Against the Common Cold

I have a cold so I’m inspired.

Matthias: sleeps it right off. Takes him max two days to get rid of it. Coughs maybe once. This pisses Nina offffff. Rises and shines like the secret tulip he is. “Cold? What cold? I live in the ice.”

Nina: loathes being sick. Even just the sniffles. Doesn’t want to be seen except not really. Could she eliminate it with her heart rending? Probably. But she won’t because everyone lavishes attention on her and she LOVES IT. Mattias babies her and so does Inej. Milks it as long as she can #DramaQueen

Jesper: Also #DramaQueen. But actually grumpier than Nina can be because he has to rest to get better and what is rest??? Loves Wylan taking care of him though. Very verbal about being cut down in the prime of life by the cold while wylan just shakes his head and spoon feeds him soup.

Wylan: (brought to you by my friend betterthanwaffles). Tries to hide being sick. Doesn’t want people to know because Jan Van DICK would get mad at him and call him weak. Not sure how Jesper found out, but suddenly Wy’s tucked in bed with blankets and tissues up to the gills. *cough cough Kaz told Jesper*

Kuwei: wants Jesper’s attention but he’s getting over it. Knows chemistry so well he can usually shake the cold quickly with different concoctions. Very quiet while sick. Sucks on cough drops obsessively.

Inej: tries to go about her business. Doesn’t exactly hide it, but doesn’t want a fuss. Nina wants to fuss so bad, so Inej avoids her as much as she can. Then Kaz hears her cough while trying to sneak in his office and he sends her straight to bed and sics Nina on her. Says it’s because he can’t afford a Wraith who gives herself away sneezing everywhere. Actually he is in love and brings her medicines and tissues on the sly. She knows.

Kaz: immune. The germs just burst into microscopic flame.

Kuwei

anyone wanna talk abt how nina and kuwei absolutely remain close friends to this day and visit each other in ravka regularly because i know in my heart this is true

nina gets what it’s like to be on your own in a foreign country trying to accomplish a seemingly-impossible task, and having her check in every so often is a huge help for kuwei settling into his new life there

they’re the most multilingual of all their friends and bond over this.  nina doesn’t get many opportunities to practice shu even though she speaks it fluently, and although kuwei speaks passable ravkan, he improves a lot faster from speaking to nina without the added pressure of having to do anything other than talk.

both of them religiously pick up bits of gossip and remember all of it and have at least an hour sharing all of it every time they meet (mostly nina.  kuwei likes keeping things to himself so he can use it if he ever has to.  but sometimes he’ll tell her something and nina’s eyes go wide because there’s no way kuwei should know that.)  between the two of them, they know what’s going on with everyone at any given time and have also been known to discuss this in earshot of whoever they’re talking about by switching languages so nobody can prove it

when inej comes to visit nina, the three of them go for waffles.  afterwards, inej and nina take turns teaching each other the rowdiest sea shanties they know and kuwei looks on with a mixture of confusion, amusement, and horror, because neither of them can carry a tune and there are some lyrics he wishes he didn’t understand.  (he’s totally memorising them for later, though.)  they’re so happy and enthusiastic about it that after a while it’s hard not to give up and laugh

both of them also know what it’s like to lose someone you care about and to have to move on and make a life for yourself regardless.  it’s not something either of them talks about a lot but sometimes, a good number of years in the future, they will.  nina tells him about matthias, about the future they were going to make together and how they were going to change the world.  the work she’s still trying to do on her own.  the promise she made to try and help the younger drüskelle who could become something more, like matthias did.  kuwei doesn’t need to say a lot to that, mostly just listens, but he’s seen how much nina’s accomplished in the years since the ice court job and matthias’ death and all of the good she’s done.  

he especially doesn’t have a lot to say about his life before fjerda and ketterdam, not a lot of it is things he wants to remember, but he was close with his father even if their relationship wasn’t perfect and sometimes there’s something to say about that.  about how it might have been better for the world if it was his father who survived shu han, how kuwei could have done something to help them escape if it wouldn’t have exposed him as a grisha to the fjerdans.  i could have brought matthias back, nina says quietly.  i almost did.  sometimes letting go is better.  

the potential with these two is honestly so underrated and i feel like we as people need to talk about it more

bonus:

nina: wake up, i have a huuuuge dilemma i need your opinion on!  

kuwei: what?  

nina: am i more beautiful today than i was yesterday?  i mean at first i looked in the mirror and i thought well, yes, definitely, huge improvement–  

kuwei: can i have my pillow back?  

nina: –but then i thought maybe it’s not that i’m more beautiful today, maybe i was just as beautiful yesterday but i lacked the self-esteem to recognise it!  

kuwei: don’t take this personally but get out

6 of Crows Christmas Headcanons

- Wylan wants to make sure that everything is perfect because Kaz never got a chance to experience a “real” Christmas and Inej’s family didn’t celebrate it

- Kaz “grudgingly” makes hot chocolate just like Jordie used to make them when they had extra cash

- Kaz is incredibly protective of Wylan (he won’t admit it he continues to give him shit as normal) and wants everything to go perfectly because he can tell that Wylan’s biggest wish is to be loved for who he is

- Snowball fights ft. the Crew

- Inej inexplicably never gets hit even if the other 5 all aim for her

- Matthias always ends up taking snowballs for Nina

- Nina introducing the crew to traditional Ravkan holiday food and Matthias manages to get some Fjerdian liquor

- Wylan sets up an advent calendar for the rest of the crew to do together. Some days it has riddles that lead to prizes, some days it has candies

- On the 24th, the advent calendar clue reads “up the chimeny with care” 

- Inej climbs the chimeny and brings down a wrapped package. They unwrap it together to reveal a painting of the six of them because they’re all Wylan’s family now

- Matthias dressed as a Christmas tree (it’s Nina’s fault)

- Kaz in reindeer antlers

- Kaz somehow gets a full-sized pine-tree into The Crow Club. No one knows how or where he got it

- Jesper sets up mistletoes in random parts of The Crow Club. Somehow Kaz knows where they all are and avoids them like the plague

- Nina tailoring ugly sweaters for everyone 

- They all go Christmas tree shopping together and buy the biggest tree they possibly can for Wylan’s inherited mansion

- Decorating said tree proves to be difficult

- Their Christmas tree is decorated with a mixture of extremely expensive ornaments that Kaz and Wylan bought and homemade ornaments that Nina and Jesper insisted everyone make

- Nina helps everyone bake cookies to leave out for Santa that evening

- Cue a giant food fight 

- They make a huge mess but the cookies turn out okay

- All the crows get dressed up in fancy clothing for a nice dinner on Christmas Eve at Wylan’s

- Jesper wears a red bow tie with Christmas trees on it much to everyone’s amusement

- They all sleep at Wylan’s house that night

- Nina wakes everyone up at 6 am shouting about Christmas. 

- To everyone but Kaz’s surprise the cookies they left out for santa are gone. Aka Kaz got up in the middle of the night and ate the cookies so that it would seem like Santa had come to the house.

SIX OF CROWS |  “You may still die in the dregs.”

Plenty of you lovely book nerds already spotted it but now I can share my Six of Crows gang illustration for the @illumicrate Grisha Box! ✨ 

For those asking: it’s currently exclusive to Illumicrate but might be available in my shop in a few months, if I can sort it out :)

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I’LL NEVER SEE KUWEI YUL-BO ON MY SCREEN

the crows:

Did it hurt when you shipped two people so perfect for each other but one of them kissed the wrong guy? Yeah.

"So,who is the leader out of you"

Kaz: Me

Everyone else: Inej

Kaz: What are you talking about? I am the leader of the Dregs

Matthias: i am not a Dreg

Nina: I was only there temporally

Wylan: I am only an asociate

Jesper: Remember i retired to live on a mansion?

Kuwei: And isn't Inej a captain now? so she no longer works with you

Milo: "bleat"

Nina: And if you and Inej for some reason end up as sworn enemies, i´d choose join her gang over yours

Matthias: I´d kill you if Inej orders me to

Kaz: You´d do it anyway

Matthias: Good point

Jesper: Bros before hoes so...that means i´d go with Inej too

Wylan: Hoes before bros so i have to go with Jesper

Kuwei : I don't think i´ve ever crossed a word with Inej ever.Yet i would rather go with her over you

Nina: In fact, if you tried to ask the actual crows of the barrel.Well, they remember who feeds them.

Kaz:

Kaz:

Kaz : Who i´m kidding? i´d pick Inej over myself too

What I realize about the crows is that their past catches up with them. But they have another crow there with them. When Kaz finally gets his revenge with Pekka, Inej is there. Inej, who gets revenge on Tante Heleen, Nina is there along side her. When Nina comes face to face with Zoya and Genya, Matthias is with them. When Wylan faces his father for the last time he has Jesper, who goes as far as tell Jan that he'll help, something Jan never did. When Jesper faces his father, Kaz is there to tell his father that Jesper still has a chance. When Kuwei is faced with the Shu embassy, there's Kaz and Matthias, taking beatdowns from their respective countries. This frees them all in some way.

Then there's Matthias, whose faced off with a boy who was just like him: brainwashed and angry. But no one was there. It was just Matthias and guess what happened.

So, apparently Leigh Bardugo has mentioned several times that the SaB Netflix series will be like a fanfiction of the books and if that is true IT BETTER BE A EVERYBODY LIVES/NOBODY DIES TYPE OF FANFIC AND I MEAN THAT FOR ONE CHARACTER AND ONE CHARACTER ONLY, I-

Would anyone be interested in a fanfic series about Matthias Helvar's sister surviving and ending up to be a Grisha and Matthias finds out so she has to run away and ends up being one of the crows???

wylan after kuwei made ANOTHER move on jesper

Friendly reminder that Jesper was definitely using his grisha abilities in season 1 of Shadow and Bone.

When he was shooting the volcra in the fold, the last shot he fired was emphasized by the camera angle zooming in on his gun (specifically the bullet being fired) and his eyes were closed. He made the shot perfectly.

He must have also used his abilities when facing off against Ivan. Ivan is a heartrender with an amplifier, which makes him very dangerous if he has you in his line of sight. To keep Ivan on defense, Jesper had to stay hidden and out of his sights. 

Jesper fires three shots at Ivan and all of them hit in the same exact place on his kefta. How did Jesper manage to aim so precisely three times in a row when he shot through several bed sheets and aimed at points on the wall/metal objects so the bullets would ricochet, all without a clear line of sight on Ivan? He couldn’t have. He probably used his abilities to guide the bullets toward the kefta that Ivan specifically told him was Fabrikator-made to be bullet resistant, so it probably had some kind of kevlar-like material woven into it that Jesper could have sensed and guided the bullets to. 

Jesper does something similar in Crooked Kingdom when he sends the rubber bullet at Kuwei without a good line of sight, so it’s not an unreasonable assumption that he did it to Ivan too.

When Jesper has Ivan pinned to the ground, Ivan asked “What are you?” and Jesper deflected his question. Then, Ivan said “You’re a--” but before he could finish, Jesper knocked him out and said “You should have stopped while you were ahead.”

Of course, this implies that Jesper knows that he’s using his abilities to gain the advantage when shooting, whereas he didn’t think about it in the books until Wylan pointed it out to him. But, because Shadow and Bone is an adaptation of the books, they have some creative freedom to change things around a bit (such as the timeline, character descriptions, dialogue and events, etc. that we’ve already seen changed). 

Overall, I’m pretty happy with how the show is adapting the books. The Shadow and Bone storyline is almost identical to the book (with the exception of the ending and the Crows’ involvement, of course) as well as Nina and Matthias’ backstory. I’m really excited to see how they incorporate the events of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom (and Wylan) into the show!

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