Shadow and Bone changing Inej's first kill is the only change I'll defend with my life because the symbolism of her first kill being from a balcony IN A CHURCH to save Kaz's life and Kaz looking at her like he's just found religion while reassuring her that it's okay and she just saved his life........
#it's about how she's always watching over him!!! it's about how she was willing to compromise her morals and beliefs to protect him!!!!!#it's about how she protects him with the Saints that HE gave her (her knives) *IN A CHURCH!!!*#it's about implicitly linking her first kill to that bit in CK where she's watching over Kaz from the rafters while he fights the Dregs!!!#I simply don't care that Show!Kaz was softer in that moment than he reasonably should have been; WE DESERVED THAT!#six of crows#kaz brekker#inej ghafa#kanej#shadow and bone#otp: on the seas and in the city
the brothers; or: absence is also a form of presence
bitches be like "he's my comfort character" bae he can't even comfort himself. he's literally a mess of blood and rage and buried emotions that he pretends not to have, how is that comforting?
(it's me i'm bitches)
the fact that Tesla’s ghost deliberately led Vash and Knives to her body is SO huge fr. it would have been so easy to make it a chance discovery, to keep her as a passive catalyst to kick-start the twins’ character arcs, but NO, she CHOSE this. “I will not be forgotten” she said. “my life was short and painful but most importantly it WAS.”
we don’t know what she expected to happen - whether she just wanted her brothers to know they had a sister, or wanted to caution them about humans’ capacity for cruelty to those that are different from them, or to galvanize them to seek justice on her behalf. but she wanted something. she was a person who could want things, even after she was dead.
(the implications wrt Plants, as interdimensional beings, possibly being able to persist at least in part after the death of the physical body in this dimension are also insane, but that’s a whole nother thing. just saying: she could still be out there)
apparently I'm the only one who more or less trusts Aerin and doesn't mind him joining us? I think he's a nice addition to the group, he's helpful, he's knowledgeable, and he's a breath of fresh air
this genre of men and why I would put all 4 of them together in 1 room

All Tumblr has to do to get me to watch something is to say that something is gay and have it trending for 5+ days

For anyone wanting a breakdown of Inej's knives and where she keeps them:
- Sankt Petyr: kept in a quick release sheath on her right forearm. Named after patron saint of archers, who was renowned for his bravery. Petyr was Inej's first knife and a gift from Kaz.
- Sankta Alina: kept in a quick release sheath on her left forearm. Named after Sun Summoner Alina Starkov, patron saint of orphans and undiscovered gifts. Described as a "slender, bone-handled blade." Probably also given to her by Kaz.
- Sankta Lizabeta: kept at her waist on her belt. Named after Sankta Lizabeta of the Roses, the patron saint of gardeners. Described as a "blade etched in a pattern of roses."
- Sankta Marya: kept in a holster strapped to her thigh. Named after Sankta Marya of the Rock, the patron saint of those far from home.
- Sankta Anastasia: kept in a holster strapped to her thigh. Named after the patron saint of the sick.
- Sankt Vladimir: kept hidden in her boot. Named after Sankt Vladimir the Foolish, patron saint of the drowned and unlikely achievements.
She also wears knee pads that have "tiny steel blades" hidden in each of them, activated by a trigger on her ankles.
I would kill for a movie to be soundtracked by TLSP, it needs to happen, theyre the only ones qualified, like come on, they’re practically spreading cheeks to directors to hire them onto some high concept 60’s spy film without ever directly asking
