A rare fandom cross-post (and I know I've been quiet for a while, hello, yes, it's nice to briefly be back)
I'm in the Shadow and Bone fandom, and after an 8-month wait, Netflix has just canceled the show and blamed it on the strike.
This show was the first of its kind I'd ever experienced - a truly excellent fantasy show that centered diverse, disabled, and queer characters at the forefront without ever sacrificing the story.
If you could take a moment to sign and share, I'd be super grateful. We have a very slim shot of saving the show, but we will not go quietly, either.

My favorite Grishaverse theory: Jarl Brum is a grisha
Nikolai duology spoilers
Which would make him the most hypocritical character ever, but that's why I love this theory
First of all, remember that druskelle shipwreck? The one with only three known survivors? These survivors were Nina, Matthias and Brum. Nina and Matthias survived only due to Nina's grisha (heartrender) powers (and they still barely made it), so how did Brum survive? I like to think that's because he's a grisha, too.
Secondly, his child, Hanne(?), is literally a grisha. A quite powerful one, even. As far as I remember, it's not clear in canon whether grisha powers are genetic, but judging from Jesper's dad being afraid Jesper might be a grisha since his mother was, or Darkling inheriting his mother's powers or that whole terrifying thing with Gafalle in KoS, they probably are. Which would mean that even if it's not one (or both...) of Hanne's parents, someone else in the Brum family should be a grisha.
Also, Hanne is a corporalki and Jarl should probably be one too bc that's the type of grisha power that let Nina and Matthias survive the shipwreck.
Thirdly, what's the best way to hide that you're a grisha? Tell everyone how much you hate them! Or lead an organization that hunts grishas, that's even better! You're the last person in the world to be suspected of being a grisha. You and your grisha child are safe and you hold an important position of power in a country that hates people like you. Is it morally correct? Definitely not, but we all know Jarl isn't a good person.
Anyway, I hope this makes sense

“but the darkling’s mother abused him” literally shut up. wylan’s father abused him and he never groomed anyone. zoya’s mother tried to sell her and she never sexually assaulted anyone. genya was abused by the king and she’s not a manipulator. inej suffered inhumane treatment and she never wiped out a population. being abused isn’t an excuse to be an abuser

The Crows are to the Grishaverse as the Guardians of the Galaxy are to Marvel. Like all the avengers and shadow and bone characters are like “ahh the weight of world is on our shoulders” but all the crows and the guardians just want their goddamn money
I have too much time on my hands and I wanted to prove my point, so enjoy these guardians quotes replaced by the crows characters
Van Eck: [insert long villain monologue here]
Kaz: yeah, blah blah blah but WE’D LIKE TO GET PAID
Inej: The contact is making me wait.
Kaz: That’s just a negotiation tactic - trust me, this is my speciality. Whereas yours is more… stab, stab, stab
Nina: I have no need of the money
Kaz: Well great, more money for the rest of us!
Jesper: What’s that?
Wylan: Don’t touch that, it’s a bomb
Jesper: AND YOU JUST LEAVE IT LYING AROUND!???
Wylan: … well I was gonna put it in a box
Matthias: I’m a warrior, an assassin. I don’t dance.
Nina: Really? Well, in my country we have a legend about people like you. It’s called Footloose. And a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well it’s the greatest thing there is.
Matthias: Who put the sticks up their butts? That is cruel.

I’ve been reading some grishaverse meta/worldbuilding posts lately and now I’ve got to let my thoughts out:
Ravka should have the best fricking R&D department in the world. Why? Because they have whole orders that can manipulate the building blocks of the universe! And, coming from a more rural community, my first thought went to agricultural development.
Ravka should not be starving right now. In fact, they should be exporting food products to Kerch for profit. Again, why? Because they have people that can literally manipulate matter. Plant genetics? That’s a walk in the park for Durasts and Alkemi! (Anyone else remember the monk and his pea plants from biology 101 in school?) What literally took people generations to carefully learn and cultivate, Durasts and Alkemi could do in a matter of weeks or less.
I mean, imagine having the power to take the best crops and make them even better. Cold resistance, drought resistance, blight/rot/bug resistance. Poison-free pest control. Quicker growing times, larger yields, longer yield times, better flavor and higher quality. This could be a game changer for a country in desperate need of a way to make some money! And Kerch is right there, and seems to be completely urban with no large agricultural means. I’m willing to bet they have to import a lot of food, and Ravka could be the one to provide it.
Now, there is the problem of growing seasons. After all, you can’t grow things all year round can you? Actually you can with greenhouses. In our world this might not always work because these buildings are outside and are affected by the weather. The beauty of working with a fictional world like the grishaverse is the magic powers some of its people are granted.
I remember seeing a post where someone mentioned that, in the books, a grisha (squaller?) was in charge of maintaining the moisture content in a room of old books. Using that info you could make a team of Squallers, Tidemakers, and Inferni to keep these greenhouses warm and working 24/7, even in the middle of winter! Hearty, healthy food for your troops and the starving people, plus a desired export to bring in money from other nations.
I just don’t understand how LB creates something with so much potential and just does. nothing. with. it.🤦‍♀️ Oh well, her non-creativity is our creativeness? So yeah, word dump that’s kind of a mess of random thoughts. Enjoy!

I'm actually interested in getting to know all your arguments for why you'd like to join them. Like, I'm not being ironic, I seriously want to see a deeper analysis of what the cult had to offer to its members and why people (and you) wanted to join them
