Kaz Brekker.
Climbed over rooftops to sneak into his old gang house so that he could put on a suit.
Because he needed to be properly dressed in order to stage a coup against the owner of the gang he’d actually been running for years.
Got in a fist fight with half of that old gang.
Won said fist fight using only a crows-head-cane, rusty nails that he dug out of the floorboards, and his unquenchable well of anger and revenge.
Then gave a speech that scared the other half of that gang into submission, ran the old boss out of the building, and took over the entire gang.
And he did that alone. Without any help.
So when I say Kaz Brekker is iconic, I mean that he is SO iconic that no one else even compares.
This is the scene that says Kaz has officically adopted Wylan.😂😂😂
This is Kaz being a dad.
I would LOVE to see him as a dad though one day. He would either be showering his kids in Kruge or reading to them Suli bed time stories. Or idk what. My imagination is running kinda wild at the moment.
six of crows by leigh bardugo
she is his greatest weakness
“I’m going to get my money, Kaz said. And I’m going to get my girl.”
his breath catches EVERY TIME that he looks at her
“I couldn’t bear to watch you fall”
he imagined watching her braid come uncoiled and wrapping it in his hand and rubbing his thumb over the pattern of the plait
he has had thoughts of Inej that involve moonlight and silk and hair
he trusts her and knows she is the one person who would never betray his weaknesses
he would die to see her smile /that way/ again
he bought her a warship (I haven’t forgotten this part but I couldn’t leave it off the list because the Bastard of the Barrel literally made her dream possible even though it means she will be away from him)
“say you’ll return” (!!!!!!!!!!) (I always, ALWAYS forget this line and it kicks me right in the gut when I reread it. He. Said. THAT.)

But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.

SIX OF CROWS AND CROOKED KINGDOM SPOILERS
I love this scene
GUYS THIS IS NOT A DRILLL
YALL KNOW WAT THE CLOCK MEANSSSS
Can we please stop making people feel awful for shipping a problematic ship or for liking a problematic character? I've seen people accuse others for encouraging pedophilic behaviour simply because they ship an immortal with a mortal, and for encouraging abusive behaviour simply because they ship an enemies to lovers ship.
Certain self-righteous people tend to forget this is fictional characters we're talking about, and you can't judge a person from that. The characters you love or the ships you ship don't make you a bad person or a good one. If you like a perfectly healthy relationship, or are in love with the kind, cinnamon roll character, good for you. If you like that borderline abusive, slightly problematic ship, it doesn't make you a bad person, no matter what anyone says.
Additionally, this blog supports shipping "problematic" shipping, because fiction and fanfiction is not reality.
Whoever or whatever you like in characters and ships doesn't define your personality. Fandoms are treated as an escape from reality for most people, and that sort of behaviour makes our fandoms toxic which helps no one and nothing.
I hear you and I raise it.
Kaz: If any Razorgulls encroach on fifth harbor again show them no mercy
The Dregs:…. yes sir
Kaz: can I help you
The Dregs staring at Inej and Kaz wearing matching sweaters: nope
Inej and Kaz are definitely not big on public displays of affection, but just think for a moment about how hilarious it would be if they were. Like can you imagine if your boss (who is like 20 max) has this super tiny super sweet gf who leans on him all the time and you just have to take orders from this chronically angry guy who is constantly hanging onto his girl like
Kaz, as serious as ever: if you see any Blacktips take them down. We don’t want them talking
The Dregs: … okay
Kaz: what
The Dregs, staring at Inej, who’s got her arms wrapped around Kaz’s stomach and her head leaning on his arm: nothing
ook so what counts as infantilizing wylan? could u give examples please lol. Like is referring to wylan as “my baby” infantilism be cause I literally refer to all characters as my babies 💀
I’m very suspicious of people who call Wylan their baby or their son because, in my experience, those tend to be the people babying him. It’s really weird because he’s the only character that is consistently treated like a child in the fandom.
Mostly in that post I was talking about people treating Wylan like their “innocent uwu gay baby.” Acting like he is unflawed, acting like he is innocent and pure despite the fact that his actual personality in the books is much different. (Yes, at the beginning of Six of Crows, a lot of what we see comes off as very childish. But even by the end of that book we learn more about his personality and capabilities.) Wylan isn’t like that at all, he’s intelligent, he’s insecure about himself, he’s filled with a lot of righteous anger, and he’s even a bit chaotic or violent at times. Not only does making him this innocent childish character not sit right with me, it throws away all of his character development in canon.
