the way leigh made these characters so unlike yet so alike normal fucking 17 year olds is fully beyond me
here are just SOME of the funniest moments throughout the books
“….you can find your way to Ravka or Matthias’ grandmother’s house for all i care” “leave my grandmother out of this”
obviously the ghost scene
pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to
“you speak Fjerdan about as well as i speak moose” “moose is probably your native tongue”
‘Had they blown up the lab? Kaz had definitely NOT told them to blow up the lab’
The deadpan ‘He had not been shot’
Kaz trying to justify his decision if bringing Wylan along to the rest of the crows: “ i told you, ✨hidden depths✨” “see Jesper, ✨marketable skillz✨”
‘“You all look so young, where are your parents?” Wylan and Jesper burst out laughing’
“This many people having fun in one place might have shocked the Fjerdan right out of you”
“I.Should.Let.You.Die”
Nina trying to bring Kaz back: “The Ice Court, remember? 3 million kruge?” Kaz’s eyes cleared. “4 million”
“You couldn’t look guiltier if you were performing the role of Thief #3 in a penny play on East Stave”
“Who wants to buy i coat in the dead on night?” “Tourists”
“Tiny and Ferocious, just like you”
“Unless you have a unicorn for him to ride away on, there is no scenario that guarantees Kuwei’s safety”
‘They could fake a pregnancy. They couldn’t fake an actual birth. Or maybe they could, he wouldn’t put anything past Kaz at this point”
“He has a very soothing baritone”
‘“I’d prefer a pair of sable-lined swimming trunks, but we can’t always get what we want” A furrow appeared between Kuwei’s brows. His understanding of Kerch had apparently been reached and surpassed’
The Wyvil
Matthias thinking they should just let Nina and Jesper flirt the entirety of Ketterdam into submission
That MASTERPIECE of a scene where Jesper and Kaz have a random petty fistfight, and all the other crows literally move out of the way, and then when Wylan tries to get someone to stop them they just shrug and go ‘I mean they aren’t using their weapons let them fight it out’ and THEN Colm coming him and scolding them and both of them IMMEDIATELY stopping
“Whatever you say, Llewelyn”
Nina’s singing
Wylan and Kaz falling through the ceiling onto Van Eck’s dinner party will ALWAYS be iconic
Kaz’s chapters in general are absolutely HILARIOUS, but my personal favorite is when he’s depending on Matthias Not Betraying them, and he thinks something like this:
‘Either he was right and Matthias’ feeling for Nina would prove enough, or Kaz was about to pay for all those talking tree jokes’
The talking tree jokes in question
The initiation ceremony where the tree teaches you the secret handshake
‘His first thought was that this boy had the most beautiful lips he’d ever seen, and his second was that he was probably about to die’ Wylan honey we’ve got to talk about your priorities
“Is it that bad?” “No, you just have really ugly feet”
That scene at the start of Six of Crows where Van Eck has Kaz tied to a chair and is explaining what he needs, and then is explaining why he needs Kaz specifically, talking about how his De Kappel painting was stolen which is a really impressive feat, while Kaz is vehemently denying that he had anything to do with it although it was obviously him
Wylan being passive aggressive while Jesper is trailing after him trying to apologize for the Kuwei thing
“Can’t we just enter as performers? I hear Wylan really kills it on the flute”
Inej getting Nina’s cookie jar after she gets back and Jesper being offended that he didn’t get to take some
Nina making fun of Kaz’s haircut
“Is my tie straight?”
That’s all I can think of for now, i’m sure there’s more so if you think of something feel free to add on

ruby redfort scratches an itch in my brain...like this bitch is drinking banana milk with her antique telephone collection and vocabulary like a newsboy stereotype....obsessed with her....
ESHAY BEETLE BFBDHJSMNDBF
Ruby Redfort headcanons
Australian Ruby. Would be cute considering LB is Australian & it would pass that down, also the line in pyp where the two evil guys say that the Australian guy must be British would be funnier. She also has the teenage Australian chaos as discussed by @rubyredfortncarnivorousplants
Clancy becomes obsessed with aquariums, even though he’s still terrified of underwater creatures he just goes to get the adrenaline rush.
When Ruby’s older (like 18-21+ whatever) she, like the rest of the action agents gets trained to use a gun and everyone is terrified of her.
Crazy cops and Brooklyn 99 are like the same thing. aka Ruby would LOVE b99
I have more which I’ll add tomorrow but I’m extremely tired and I don’t think this makes sense but anyways thanks for reading them
imagine ruby finding out about time travel I-
does spectrum have a time travel agency? it has to. or at least it’s in the works. like there are SO MANY SPECTRUMS, surely ONE of them has to be time travel, or at least will be in the future ya know??
also that bids the question: what to the other spectrums do?? if anyone knows/has theories please share I must know
Rr character ask - LB
3, 12, 18, 20, 23, 24 and 29.
Thanks :)
again, sorry this took so long!
3) A song that reminds me of them: Little Dark Age by MGMT
12) Sexuality hc! idk, she seems like a bit of a 'whatever,' kinda person. All I know is that she was very very in love with Bradley Baker :(
18) How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc) Exactly the way she is as an adult. Kinda like how I imagine Ruby to be but like, reversed.
20) A weird headcanon: I think it would be very cool if LB was like, an early punk?? Kinda sorta?? It's set in the early 70s so punk was barely a thing but I just like the idea of a vaguely punk LB
24) What do you think is a secret they have that they never told anyone? Life became easier after Bradley was presumed dead.
29) How do you think they would be as a parent? (and if they are a parent, how do you think they would be if they weren't?) She wouldn't be the sort of mum to sugarcoat things yk, she'd always just say it as it is. No bullshit, but loves her kids v much and would do anything for them
stranger things costumes are my favorite thing ever

I know I've made a post about needing more Hitch and Ruby content but. Important update. I also need more Froghorn and Ruby content. The two of them leaning more towards the friends part of frenemies. Or better yet just being friends. They work on stuff together. It's the most unexpected person for Ruby to include in her coding family, everyone is surprised by it. People are more afraid of them when they work together. They make equally bad decisions but on the opposite sides of the board. I love it.
ruby redfort n maybe a few other reblogs of stuff I like | she/her | the girl in my header is red monroe fight me
