I made a transmutation circle for my little brothers 10th birthday, how'd I do?
I know in the wolf sisters it's said the two murdered woman stepped out one after the other but I always imagined them holding hands as they found their peace, after all they're the only other person who knew exactly what the other went through
Wh-what did she do? Where is the sword??? WEHY DOES SHE HAVE A MINION????
Sooo on my annual re-read of six of crows I noticed something interesting about all the nicknames jesper gives wylan. In most cases it wasn't actually jesper who came up with the nickname or the teasing remark, it was Kaz.
Merchling is the most common of them but wylan was first called that by Kaz on page 130, "marketable skills" was what Kaz called wylans memory of the ice court on page 122, hidden dephs came a little after that, etc.
The thing I find most interesting is that when Kaz says these things they're seen for what they are, barbs at wylan, but each time jesper picks them up they take on this soft teasing vibe like a little kid with his first crush.
Jesper regularly tried to embrace kaz's brand of cruelty and harshness but each time he fell just a little short of actually being insulting because no matter how hard he tried in the beginning of the books he couldn't ever bring himself to embrace that way of treating people, especially wylan.
Sorry for the long post, this was just something I noticed and wanted to share!
The other night I had a dream that I was fighting off three assassins(?) Or something, and as soon as I defeated the last assassin a curtain drew closed and I was watching a puppet history reenactment of my fight, the professors voice clear as anything, talking about the fight and why I did it.
Spoilers for the pretty polly arc!!!
I can't help but picture polly being sent to her room after she was poofed away by dear old dad, and her sitting on a twin sized bed in a child's room pouting and telling a stuffed animal that her daddy is dumb and unfair, I can't stop picturing it.
Do you ever get really sad about where you are in life and how much easier it would be to stop trying but then you think about your mom finding out how much you want to get rid of the life she gave you and that keeps you going for another few weeks then the cycle repeats itself until it's your birthday and you've somehow made it to 21
I desperately need help finding this book I read probably a decade ago. I can't remember any character names but i know that the mc was a teen girl who sorta lived in some sort of theater and I think and she wanted to find her mom or the truth about her mom but her guardian/parent person wouldn't let her but she leaves anyway. She also has two or three fairies that hang with her all the time and I think they're might have been something with a merman. I literally cannot stop thinking about this God forsaken book someone help please.
I wish with all my little gay heart that leigh bardugo had pulled a "they suddenly have powers" on us with Matthias cause I would have loved for him to be a tidemaker and for it to explain his connection with his god as well as see his complete and total shut down over finding out this information after nearly getting shot.
Bonus scene; Kaz learning this and telling Matthias "well, you finally have a trick I dont helvar, congratulations"
Headcannon that whenever Wylan does something a fucked up (and you know he would, that boy is small and vicious) Kaz is the most conflicted combination of immensely proud and a little concerned that his spot as the most ruthless bastard to ever live might be taken by a sweet faced merchling
The only clever use of Vicks I can see here is how to traumatize someone in 5 seconds or less
The other week I crashed at my parents house and when I settled down my mom kissed me on the forehead for the first time in nearly a decade and I almost burst into tears. How's your day going?
I swear to christ if I see this yellow abomination one more time I'm gonna chuck my phone out the window
