Made something super dramatic. I actually haven’t reread the scene that inspired this since like 2015 so whether it’s at all accurate to the book is debatable but oh well
Loosely inspired by Ruin and Rising! That book is both my most loved and most hated grisha trilogy book, because it has my favorite moments AND my least favorite moments in the whole series. Certainly doesn’t help that some scenes hit ya like a truck
Do you constantly think about how Leigh Bardugo consistently creates the most compelling aesthetics for her fictional settings from the foggy harbours and gambling dens of Ketterdam to the pristine halls and libraries and uniforms of the Little Palace, not to mention the snowy villages and forests of Fjerda…….. or are you normal
and what did i want? peace for ravka. a chance to sleep easy in my bed without fear. an end to the guilt and dread that i woke to every morning. there were old wants too, to be loved for who i was, not what i could do, to lie in a meadow with a boy’s arms around me and watch the wind move the clouds.
Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back. The stars looked like they were close together, when really they were millions of miles apart. In the end, maybe love just meant longing for something impossibly bright and forever out of reach.
Why is everyone talking about soc3 my anxiety CANNOT- “what if leigh pulls a no mourners, too many funerals and kaz is the only one left” or “what if kaz sacrifices himself for the others” or “what if wesper get separated” or “what if nina turns bad” or- Y'ALL NEED TO STOP MANIFESTING THIS SHIT
You’ve heard of kanej death trope but what about WESPER DEATH TROPE- Wylan dies BEFORE JESPER because he’s not grisha,, but that would still be a peaceful death-
But what if he dies in a heist that he didn’t wanna go on, but he went for Jesper, and got shot. There’s blood everywhere and even Kaz is beginning to panic. Jesper keeps trying to use his powers to get the bullet out but he’s not skilled enough to. So Wylan dies in his arms, Inej cries and prays and wishes Nina were there to save him, Kaz blinks back tears and thinks “I never thought I’d have to bury one of my own”. Jesper blames himself forever and distances himself from kaz. The crows fall apart.
Many years later Kanej have a kid and name him wylan.
Sometimes I read or watch a piece of media and I don’t like one of the characters, so I… Get over it.
Sometimes I meet someone and they like a piece of media that I hate and I think… This is something that we don’t have in common.
Sometimes something I read or watched goes in a completely different direction from how I wanted it to and I no longer find the premise or plot appealing and so I … Stop spending my money and time on it.
Sometimes I… Let go of the things I don’t enjoy so I can spend my money, time, and attention on the things I do like.
It’s a wild good time. I think everyone should try it.
This is completely factually accurate I assure you…
The Crows Favourite Musicals:
I don’t know why I’m doing this but it absolutely makes sense.
Nina: Something like Chicago or Heathers. Shows that make you feel like a bad b*tch who’s ready to murder.
Matthias: His favourite show is definitely Frozen but he would never admit it.
Inej: Okay so Inej would go for a really fun show on the surface that has really sinister undertones. Like Into the Woods! Also she sings the Sound of Music as she’s Wraithing because it reminds her of her parents.
Kaz: I don’t think Kaz is a musicals fan but I bet he’d secretly quite like Sweeney Todd. He’s also a secret romantic who likes death so West Side Story would be his fav.
Wylan: 100% Wylans favourite hobby is belting and crying to sad musical songs, no one can tell me otherwise. Les Mis and Waitress and Miss Saigon. And I bet he sounds good as well.
Jesper: He gives me major Beetlejuice vibes. Even his fashion sense is represented in this show. ‘The whole being dead thing’ is probably his favourite. And Avenue Q is another one he loves.
This fandom goes from a circus of clowns to a coven of victorian maidens, head over heels for the neck of a gentleman, in no time… And I live for this!
