Y'all, this was a stupidly fun papercraft to build. And it’s huge. 16 x 31 inches! (by comparison, the recent Wicked King papercraft is 11 x 14″) I really had fun experimenting with this one, especially with the colors. I limited my selections to vibrant reds and dulled blues/greys and really stretched the color contrast muscles. Paying homage to the brilliant book covers, I imbued a crow/cityscape with a collage of elements inspired by noir, art deco and M.C. Escher.
And I’m super happy to let Nina finally have her waffles.
I’ve had this planned since early last year, and finally decided to build it in celebration of the King Of Scars release…but then Netflix dropped their news about the Grishaverse mini series!?! So let this papercraft be my mortal sacrifice to the book-adaptation gods to bless Leigh Bardugo and Eric Heisserer & crew on their venture!

LILA BARD!
Holy moly I love this gal. I’m currently on book 2, but I am really enjoying the “Shades of Magic” books already. This is another card for Fox & Wit, and my favorite of this particular card series!

A definitive ranking of the gangsey based on their flirting abilities:
6. Gansey: Literally compared his fated true love to a prostitute and changed her name while wearing hideous boat shoes. I’ve never in my life seen someone crash and burn that badly. Also thinks sharing a yogurt is the height of romance and comparable to making out. Probably gets his chewed up mint leaves mixed in with every kiss. Absolutely tragic. -100/10
5. Henry: Literally locked up his crush in a crawl space and made him relive his extreme phobia of bees. Sharing of phobias should really be kept to at least the third date, not the first move. Also not a hundred percent convinced his crush even realized this was a move at all. Then again he got invited on a road trip following graduation, so what do I know? 3/10
4. Ronan: He’s really going with the pulling pigtails routine. Mimicking your love interest’s accent and calling them runt among other insults is never a good idea. The dreaming up hand lotion was a bold choice which was appreciated, but loss of points since he almost gave his crush a heart attack and broke into his car during the delivery. The mixtape was cute, but starting off with the murder squash song was questionable. The hand kisses and latin poems whispered into his crush’s ear shows there’s strong room for improvement. 5/10
3. Blue: Like her boyfriend, she also seems to think sharing yogurt and late night phone calls with political jokes is the height of romance. Though to be fair she does have a curse, so it’s probably in her best interest to keep dates as vanilla as possible. She did make out with a ghost though so massive bonus points for that. We could only ever dream of being that iconic. 6/10
2. Adam: Managed to land a date with a girl who was sworn off boys and had just been called a prostitute, with nothing but his southern charm. Held hands and sent flowers on the first date which was very smooth. Almost killed Ronan with his “with a dreamer” line and a prolonged gaze. His flirting style tends to just run along the lines of actually acting like a normal human being, which compared to the last four makes him seem like Casanova. 8/10
1. Noah: Was told that a girl was cursed to kill her one true love with a kiss, and he was like “yo, I’m already dead so wanna make out?” He saw an opportunity and he took it. This boy is literally in his grave and getting more action than any of us. Also had a girlfriend before his death so he clearly has always been this smooth. Understands the finer points of glitter. Extra bonus points for being a ghost because who would turn down a ghost?? 10/10

Actually, I don’t care about that. I mean, the cards are very interesting and I don’t want to discount what you do. But I didn’t really come here to have my future told to me. I’m quite okay with finding that out myself.
