seeing reddit refugees repeatedly hit their post limits and comment their thoughts on every reblog is kind of refreshing. site migration be damned these guys know how to blog
around when I first started dating my boyfriend i bought myself this novelty blanket that looks like a photorealistic tortilla because I am SUCH A SUCKER for novelty shit. when he saw it in person for the first time his eyes lit up, which should have been a warning sign for the indignities to come.
so he’s a first responder and his day shifts start obnoxiously early as far as I, a pampered corporate asshole, am concerned. almost invariably when he’s at my place there will be an alarm at an hour that is downright unconscionable that will make him wake up and roll out of bed to get ready and will simultaneously make me burrow under the pillows grumbling about how surely nobody actually NEEDS their lives saved this early in the morning, after which I will promptly attempt to go back to sleep
he is a clever man and he knows this is when i am most vulnerable to attack.
every single time we do this dance, he quietly dresses, packs up, goes about getting ready to leave, and then when i have juuuust fallen back asleep, he returns with the tortilla blanket. He finds it no matter where I have hidden it.
He then creeps silently up to my side of the bed and uses his superior speed, strength, and reflexes to wrap me up in it incredibly tightly while i am still dazed and sputtering, so that i cannot move my legs or arms and am reduced to humiliating halfhearted magikarp flops that do not deter him from at least attempting to kiss my forehead.
then he goes to my bedroom door, opens it, then pauses, turns around, looks at me, the soft human filling of the facsimile of an enormous burrito he has just constructed, and says in his best romantic lead voice “I’ll see you soon, beans.”
you cannot understand how devastating it is to my ego that i am beans.
Kind of hard to believe there was once a time where a legitimate genre of post was "my mom says if this gets 2k notes she'll buy me a doughnut" and everyone would just. go ham
So I've seen some people say we don't need a six of crows spinoff because shadow and bone season 2 basically covered all the book material like WHAT? No. We need a spinoff. We still haven't gotten:
- Matthias joining the crows and calling Kaz a demjin
- Mathias's ghost not associating with everyone else's ghost.
- Nina casually raising the dead.
- Nina calling Kaz an idiot for calling Inej an investment.
- "You're better than waffles, Matthias Helvar."
"Let's not say things we don't mean."
- Nina and Jesper flirting the entirety of Ketterdam into submission.
- That scene where Inej is sitting on Kaz's windowsill and he gets lost for words because of how beautiful she is.
- Jesper's apology to Inej
- Colm Fahey!
- Alys Van Eck annoying the heck out of everyone with her singing
- The reveal that Wylan is Jan Van Eck's son and the angst that will come with this new timeline of events on the show
- Both Kaz and Inej kind of adopting Wylan
- Jesper saying "I can read to him."
- "Wylan Van Sunshine."
- "What do you think my forgiveness looks like, Jordie?"
- THE BATHROOM SCENE. Chapter 26, Crooked Kingdom. The actual version this time. You know the one.
- Kaz meeting Inej's parents and "is my tie straight?"
- "I would come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were we'd fight our way out together- knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting."
- The entire Ice Court Heist
- That scene where Kaz faints and Inej helps him.
- Kaz and Inej holding hands.
- "She was Inej Ghafa, and her future was waiting above.
- Somehow, the line where Kaz calls Inej "lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved" has to be incorporated.
- When Inej and Kaz first met
I mean, I like these books a normal amount...
Sorry this turned into a lot of Kanej moments.
Anyway, there's probably a lot more, but I'm getting a little anxious about how long Netflix is choosing to make us wait... I just really hope they don't cancel it.
Edit: These were of the top of my head, I missed a lot. Here are some more because I can.
Cont...
- Nina and Inej singing together
- Kaz and Wylan falling through a roof together
- "How about I throw you in the canal, and we see if you know how to swim?" Wylan Van Eck
-I'm not big on killing unconscious men."
'We could wake them up."
- Jesper saying he believes in true love (obviously referencing Wylan akdjfjsk)
- That scene were Inej scares the living daylights out of Pekka.
- "Maybe I liked your stupid face."
- "I will take you home.
"Nina, I already am home."
- Wylan spitting in Van Eck's face.
-Someone in the tags mentioned Matthias calling Nina 'little red bird' like YES I need it.
- And imagine Kaz calling Inej "my girl" OUT LOUD I would die on the spot my heart couldn't take it.
- Matthias saying "You're all horrible," about the other crows but then eventually coming around with "They all seem like practical choices."
- Kaz ripping Oomen's eye out and throwing him over board after he injures Inej
- Jesper's "He deserves a better father than you."
-"I-Should-Let-You-Die,"Matthias grumbling as he is resuscitating Kaz
- "I can hear the change in Kaz's breathing when he looks at you. It catches every time, like he's never seen you before."
- When Inej tricks Kaz into coming up the stairs with her to scout the area, vanishes and leaves him up there to walk back down the stairs and he smiles instead of being angry
- Still kinda disappointed they didn't have the 'not just girls," line, I know wesper is different in the show, but I'd still love to have it. (At least we have it in the interview.)
- The same for when Jesper reaches out and starts adjusting Wylan's satchel with his 'But that's not all I want."
And I could go on. But I don't want to make this post ridiculously long.
In conclusion, there is PLENTY of book material still to cover.
GREENLIGHT THE SPINOFF NETFLIX!
Reblogging things I like feels a lot more goblinesque than upvoting ever did. The upvotes felt like "hmm yes, I approve *golf claps*" while reblogging feels like furtively staring at something before shoving it in your mouth and scurrying back underneath the nearest piece of furniture.
Which isn't to say that I don't like it. But I definitely find myself going "maybe I shouldn't reblog this because I've already reblogged a bunch of things today and I don't want to look like I don't have a life," I say as I close the app and reopen it like one of those little automatic box toys with the switches.
