Crooked Kingdom - Tumblr Posts
feelings for Inej: *exist*
Kaz:
Nina: What you’re doing is illegal.
Jesper: I’m not taking advice from you, you pronounce the ‘g’ in lasagna.
The King of Crows
I really Love Hiccup and I would kill for him, but for Kaz Brekker…I would let Me killed…By him.
I have just started the Fourth Wing Saga (hopefully we get a third Book) and I‘m in Awe Right now.
This One of the Books like ACTOR & Six of Crows were I‘m thinking Holy Shit…this cool…give Me more of that!
!!!CROOKED KINGDOM SPOILERS!!!
So I was at rehab and I was reading crooked kingdom. So I’m curled up in the corner of the couch fully invested. So I’m reading and reading and I get to Matthias’s death. I let out the biggest gasp and went
“Omg, omg, omg.”
And stared right at my friend. My mouth was wide open that a fly could’ve flown right in. I literally had to put the book down for the rest of the night because I was in shock. Idk why I’m sharing this lmao
Oi can y’all help me pick a prompt for a Kaz fic
Just finished my crooked kingdom re-read and it’s so bittersweet. Words cannot express how much I love this duology and these characters, they’ll hold a special place in my heart forever. No mourners 🖤
Grieving for S&B
First I had to deal with the fact that I won't see Anne and Gilbert dating, than they have the audacity to present me to Anthony Lockwood and Lucy Carslile, only to laugh and never show more than a few glances... and now...
Now, I'll never get to see Nikolai and Zoya. Jesper and Wyland living togheter. Nina and Mathias oath. KAZ AND INEJ.
Nina and Matthias compliment each other always.
It's been a while since I've read six of crows and Crooked Kingdom so I apologise if anything is incorrect.
Six of Crows duology spoilers ahead <3
At the start/when they first meet:
Nina brings life. She heals, right? Matthias is a soldier (?) He hurts, he kills.
Where they end:
Nina is the one causing death with her altered powers, Matthias is the one trying to help. He no longer wants to kill the Grisha, he wants to help he wants it to stop.
They changed and grew together instead of apart.
As they changed as people instead of separating they learned to love these new versions of themselves and each other. They were always so different, but matched so well.
the crows as olympic athletes
kaz
hear me out — table tennis
he'd definitely be one of the more precise players
nicknamed "dirtyhands" for his use of unconventional techniques and trolling his opponents with snake shots and hidden spin
his role models include natalia partyka and ma long
like partyka, he competes in both the olympics and paralympics (classification 9)
inej
i think the obvious choice is artistic gymnastics; she'd be absolutely unbeatable in beam with her amazing balance
her fans have started calling her "the wraith", alluding to the way she twists through the air with unbelievable grace and strength
her biggest rival, dunyasha lazareva, is one of the only gymnasts who can match her in skill
jesper
skeet shooting
ithink the variability of the sport would definitely be something jesper prefers over something like air rifle/pistol
he's a star in the sport shooting world and made his olympic debut at 17 after switching sport from equestrian
(he met wylan at the riding club and the rest is history)
wylan
modern pentathlon
there was a brief scandal with his father and former pentathlete which put him in the public eye, but now he's famous only for his performance in the modern pentathlon
he first appeared at the youth olympic games where he claimed gold by a large margin
now at his first olympic games all eyes are on him as the favourite to win
nina
at tokyo 2020 she's just a random competitor in judo, unknown to most of the world — and then suddenly she shocks the entire world with a gold medal that almost looked easy
now everyone knows not to underestimate her, as she looks to defend her olympic title
matthias
i mean, he's made out of pure muscle, so is it really a surprise to see matthias in olympic wrestling?
he has made a name for himself as six feet and four inches of pure strength and power
he makes the team for the second time, up against competitors like jarl brum, three time olympic gold medallist
the crows' music taste headcanons
so this is the least thought out thing possibly ever...
kaz
alt-rock, avant-rock, and post-punk
radiohead, my chemical romance, the smiths
inej
musical theatre,
west side story, hamilton, the phantom of the opera
jesper
blues, jazz, electro, swing
frank sinatra, caravan palace, jamiroquai
nina
pop. what else is there to say
taylor swift, olivia rodrigo, sabrina carpenter, abba
wylan
classical and classical-inspired songs
laufey, mendelssohn, sibelius, brahms
matthias
hymns (and pop - nina has been rubbing off on him)
traditional hymns, abba, taylor swift
plot twist: kaz brekker took his name from a box of chinese biscuits
so in six of crows, when they arrive at the ice court jesper has to fabrikate the lockpicks for kaz to get them out of the holding cell, right? (chapter 23)
and then in chapter 38: "Kaz had tracked Nina and Brum across the grounds to the treasury. Then he'd taken cover behind an ice sculpture and focused on the miserable task of regurgitating the packets of Wylan's root bombs he'd swallowed before they'd ambushed the prison wagon. He'd had to bring them up -- along with a pouch of chloropellets and an extra set of lockpicks he'd forced down his gullet in case of emergency -- every other hour to keep from digesting them."
am i just overlooking something or did kaz purposefully get jesper to fabrikate the lockpicks whilst he had a perfectly good pair? or he didn't want to throw up a bunch of contraband in the ice court? please tell me your thoughts
(although i've only got up to here in my reread of the duology so maybe it's referred to further on: if so, whoops and sorry for wasting your time!)
that makes so much sense now, thank you so much!

Both of them singing off-key at the crow club during karaoke nights (let’s pretend they do that)
They would totally teach the HOT TO GO! dance to the rest of the crows.
Also Nina would absolutely ROCK Femininomenom! by vibes only.
Can’t stop thinking about how much Nina and Jesper would’ve LOVED Chappell Roan
Jesper : HYDRATE OR DIE - DRATE!!
Jesper : *aggressively throws water bottle*
Inej : umm…..
Kaz : He’s trying to yell mental health and well being into us
Jesper : I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU
Wylan : *crying* it’s working
You know the Six of Crows obsession is bad when your science teacher is talking about how it’s hard to get inside the cell membrane but it’s easier to get out and your first thought is “omg just like the Ice Court!! I wonder if there are molecules like the Crows who are there for a heist?”. I think I need psychiatric help, this cannot be normal
Just your daily reminder that chapter 40 didn’t actually exist
it was all a hallucination, everything’s fine, everyone is awake and definitely not dreaming about anything or anyone whatsoever
…not being a feral canal rat.
Kaz Brekker is bad at
