Important Anouncment:
In the german dub, when Jesper lies on top of Wylan, he doesn't say "you got me waffles", he literally says "you baked waffles for me"
Jesper, how tf do you forget someone who you not only slept with but who also actually sat down cooked for you?? Ffs
And here I kinda hoped our promised wylan crumb would maybe be a tiny climpse of him in the van eck mansion during the dekappel heist š¤”š¤”š¤”š¤”š¤”
He wanted to ask for a billion, but he didn't want to prove inej right (greed is your god scene)
We talk a lot about 30 million kruge, because of course we do, but we donāt mention often enough that the original offer was FIVE. It took Kaz one conversation to get it from five million to twenty million, and then he demanded thirty anyway. I love him.
#3 : Wylan and Jesper
They're the same people your honour

Am I the only one who thinks Kaz Brekker is like the boss baby??
@jccatstudios @she-posts-nerdy-stuff @bookworm-center @wraith--2
This had me rolling for ten minutes straight Lmao. Made my day <33
Crows as random google search suggestions part 3 (1 | 2)
I write a fanfiction about Kaz having a sister in Wattpad, named Adjala Brekker. And I just got the craziest idea. Kaz is always the baby sitter for Adjala's kids so why not write headcannons?
So I just made a few headcannons about Kaz babysitting his niece Jordan, and his two nephews Johannes and Kaz jr.
( Everytime you see a mom approved, it means the kids' mother approves of the activity )
1. "Uncle Kaz's House of Schemes": Kaz turns babysitting into a series of elaborate games and puzzles for the kids. It's like a mini heist every time they visit, complete with clues and riddles to keep them entertained. (Mum approved)
2. Kaz's version of "nap time" is "quiet planning time": When it's time for the kids to take a nap, Kaz uses this opportunity to quietly plan his next big scheme. He's convinced they're the perfect cover for his brainstorming sessions. (Mum approved)
3. Candy heist training: Kaz teaches the kids the fine art of candy heists, complete with disguises, diversion tactics, and a secret candy stash. They're the most resourceful trick-or-treaters in Ketterdam. (Mum not approved)
4. The "Ingenious Bedtime Routine": Kaz has a knack for getting kids to bed without fuss. His secret? He tells them thrilling stories about his heists until they're too excited to stay awake. (Mum approved)
5. Tiny suits and dresses: Kaz insists that the kids wear tiny suits and dresses, just like him, when they go out together. It's a comical sight seeing them dressed as miniature versions of him. (Hehe definitely mum approved)
6. Teaching the art of negotiation: Kaz imparts his negotiating skills to the kids, coaching them on how to haggle with street vendors for the best deals on toys and treats. They quickly become savvy little traders. They negotiate with daddy alot too, and their daddy always falls for this (Their dad hates this, so mum approved)
7. The "Kaz Jr. Inheritance Fund": Kaz secretly sets up a savings account for each of the kids, earmarking it as their "inheritance." He insists they learn about managing their finances from an early age. (Uncle Jes and Mumma approved)
8. "The Kaz Bunker" (my fav) : In the event of a "Kaz-sized emergency," he's built a secret bunker (a well-fortified blanket fort) in the living room. It's the perfect hiding spot for epic pillow fights and strategizing. (There's photo evidence -Inej) [mum approved - Kaz's sister]
9. Poker night (ft. Uncle jes, Daddy and uncle Wy) : Kaz introduces the kids to poker night, using candies as chips. It's all in good fun until Jesper's uncanny ability to bluff leaves Kaz Jr and Johannes with an empty stash of candy, while Jordie has a whole lot to herself. Wylan always gives his candy to Kaz jr in the end. Elijah (the kids' dad) sits their and sticks his tongue out to his brother in-law whenever he wins, only to me met by the Lethal Brekker sibling glower. (The mother doesn't aprove of this, their dad does tho)
10. Lessons in lockpicking (childproof, of course): Kaz teaches the kids the basics of lockpicking, with a set of child-friendly locks and tools. They think it's just a game, but it's secretly a life skill. (The parents don't aprove since candy is always being stolen from the kitchen)
11. Kaz and naps : when the kids' parents get back from date night of smth, they see uncle Kaz and the kids in the Kaz Bunker fort, or all of them on the ground, surrounded my toys and Kaz is laying flat on his stomach and Kaz jr is snoozing on top of him and Jordan and Johannes are snoozing in the corner. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how the bastard of the barrel gets his sleep. (Inej has photo evidence) [Daddy and mumma approved]
12: Lifeskills (ft. Uncle Matty, aunty 'nej and aunty Ninny) : so Kaz gets his gang together to preach Lifeskills to his nephews and niece. Uncle Matty adores the mini demjins. Aunty 'nej takes them in sea trips (Aunty ninny brings the snacks) [ pappa and mumma approved]
13. Shark stare classes 101: in which Kaz teaches his little trainees the signature bombastic side eye and shark like stare, along with the lethal Brekker glower, which always has the kids' dad running for the HILLS, cuz they look like his scary wife and terrifying brother in law. (Daddy and Mumma approved ladies and gentlemen)
A fanfic for this :
I'm tagging a few of the biggest SoC enthusiasts I know : @she-posts-nerdy-stuff @ell0ra-br3kk3r-writes @marsconer
HAHAHAHAHAHA LMAOOO I LOVE THIS
"Wylan and Jesper making out on the floor"
Matthias passing by: aw, young love. So pure and delicate
"walks until finding Inej and Kaz making intense eye contact"
Matthias: OH DJEL! MY EYES! WHAT KIND OF PORNOGRAPHIC DISPLAY IS THIS?!
So true Lmao
Other YA characters taking down their enemies: massive scale magical fight scenes, complex good vs evil moral conversations, love triangles, tragedy
vs crooked kingdom
kaz brekker: so, what do you fuckers know about the stock market?
I WANT ALL OF THEM IN MY LIFE šš
I claim the brains ones!!!!
What kind of friend are you?
(based on this post)
Oh Kazzle Dazzle
Jesper : I want you to be my best man.
Kaz : & I want Pekka's a** drowned under ice court but hey! It's Ketterdam, not some wonderland to grant wishes! Go away, Jes.
Jesper : *smug smile* Oh what a shame! Inej'd be Wy's maid of honour. We thought of saving the best man & maid of honour a dance but since you're adamant...never mind!
Kaz :
Kaz : What do you want me to wear?
Obviously I want wesper in season 2 but i also desperately need Kaz to make his ur mom joke.Ā Ā

Now if only I knew how to compose music...
Wespers little autumn date šš
My random doodle of Inej blew up so I made more soc stuff lol
this is just six of crows but here we go:
- nina and matthias never actually abandoned their duties for āloveā. they accept each other, but at the same time are tormented by their loyalty to their country. nina and matthias are extremely homesick all the time; nina never discarded her faithfulness in ravka or grisha and matthias never renounced his religion. they changed because of one another, yes, but their story is not just āenemies to loversā.
- inejās sexual trauma can be set off when someone touches her - even when nina or jesper hugs her. she doesnāt react quite as badly as kaz, but physical contact still triggers her. she suppressed it so even kaz didnāt know about this until she told him.
- jesper can actually hold his own in a physical, non-gun related fight (i have proof). he is also smart enough to make his own guns with the help of a fabrikator, to argue with wylan about explosive materials and to pursue higher education. he is not just a comedic relief.
- kaz is ruthless, amoral and cold but he is not a distant boss to the other crows. he makes jokes with them, flips jesper off when they banter, jokingly calls inej ātreasure of [his] heartā and nina āloveā, loses bets to wylan and makes fun of matthiasās religiousness - most of the time he acts like their slappable friend with a dark sense of humor and a questionable haircut.
- wylan is not just jesperās cute love interest that tags along on a job just for shits and giggles and the occasional booms and bangs. he is a deeply damaged child who still believes in goodness despite never believing in himself.
for people who havenāt read the shadow and bone/ six of crows books, but have seen the show:
- inej ghafa is a survivor of childhood sex trafficking. she has ptsd and reacts in a panic attack at even walking past the menagerie
- kazās trauma isnāt just pekka rollins being responsible for jordieās death, and waking up on the barge. he had to swim to shore, age nine and barely alive, using jordieās body as a float
- the darkling has done far worse things than are shown on screen. he is not a ālost manā and alina is not his ābalanceā
- alina was seventeen upon the darkling being nsfw/ romantic with her
- matthias helvar did not lead drüskelle, that was jarl brum- matthias is only just barely an adult himself
- the crows are not their own separate gang, they are part of the dregs, who per haskell leads and kaz takes over from haskell after haskell sold out his lieutenant (kaz) to pekka rollins
- zoya, genya, and alina have personalities outside of either being traumatised or hating each other
- alina never wanted any of the power and fame and idolatry, and in the end of the books is stripped of it all. she is very happy about this
- jesper is a gambling addict and somebody who watched the death of his mother
guess what i watched !
jesper is known from gambling. it's not a secret that he's addicted. everyone knows that. he is known from being the best sharpshooter in ketterdam as well.
he alson is known from being always the happiest person in the room.
not everyone knows that is a lie.
well, jesper doen't think that someone besides kaz knows
and well, he kind of... doesn't care? it's his problem after all
jesper knows that kaz doesn't give a shit about his addiction
he thinks inej doesn't care
in fact he thinks no one cares about him ā even his dad
he is dying like his mother did
but he's dying slowly
and then there is wylan
sweet wylan and jesper thinks that he never met someone that innocent while being one of the deadliest people
wylan cares and that's cute even when it's confusing jesper
sweet wylan who went through hell still has the good in his heart and it is the prettiest thing jesper had seen
jesper thinks he never loved someone in the way he loves wylan
he doesn't love wylan because he's rich and the most beautiful person
he loves wylan bc he cares about jesper when even jesper doesn't care about himself
so he tries his best but he knows wylan needs something more. wylan deserves the world and jesper isn't able to give him even a piece of what wylan deserved
so he had to leave
and he left (even though it hurt) bc he had to
jesper to the end of his life regreted it
he died at an early age, he was only 23
What if Jesper calls Wylan "prince" bc of his first thought about him???
Thinking about a baby Wylan who sets tiny traps all through the mansion. A loose nail on a floorboard, a tiny bell too close to the door dangling from a crooked light, a tiny chiseled hole in the door, and a tiny scrap of medal in the doorknob to jingle when itās touched. Tiny things all over the mansion, mostly harmless but some just hints of the pain his father causes, acting as a desperate little security alarm for a terrified little boy.
How he grows up and they grow with him. How these little tricks feel like friends when theyāre the only thing protecting him.
Wylan Van Eck sets them and Wylan Hendricks(-Fahey) takes them apart with a smug partner at his side.
Wylan with friends now, a real family, who disarms the inside protections and fills it with emotional ones. How itās suddenly too loud with laughter to hear a little bell and how he doesnāt need it anyway. The only security lingers outside when the first people in his life step in to protect him first. Real security, not traps scattered in the floorboards.
The look on Jespers face as they take them apart lingers but the hurt doesnāt. The pride sticks - the strength of surviving fills the halls but itās not alone. Heās not alone.
Just thinking about a Wylan who was always a fighter, even when he was small and scared. How he survived and finally made home a real one.
Im willing to kill everyone I know and sell my soul to the devil for a hug from Jack Wolfe

Jesper being in love with Kaz for years. Jesper who at the start wanted to hate Inej so much because even if Kaz himself didn't know yet, he saw how Kaz looked at Inej, he looked at her like she hung the stars in the sky. Jesper who resigned to being Kaz's lovestruck best friend because he was still so happy to be a part of his life,someone Kaz needed, someone Kaz loved, even if it wasnt in the way Jesper wanted him too. Jepser who thought he would never fall in love again, and suddenly, Wylan happened. Suddenly, Jesper understood what Kaz felt for Inej because Wylan, with his pretty hair and glowing eyes, made Jesper believe he could find his happily ever after again. Jesper wanted to worship Wylan he didn't know how someone that perfect could ever look twice at him but Wylan with his curious, brilliant mind and his glowing smile not only looked at Jesper but allowed him to experience pure,all comsuming true love, to experience what it is like to find a soul that so perfectly intertwines with yours
I know Wylanās line of ājust girls?ā seems to imply that Kerch is a heteronormative society but I think it would be objectively funny and also incredibly in character for Wylan to assume he managed to fall for the one straight guy in all of Ketterdam. Like yeah queerness is the standard but Wylan is over here thinking with his luck heāll have managed to find the one fucking guy who only likes girls. And then the guy in question is the most overt bisexual youāve ever seen.
