I'm in the middle of rewatching Shadow and Bone, and I still can't believe that a group of ragtag criminals outsmarted a whole lot of trained Grisha.
Inej killed that inferni in the time I take to tie my hair.
Jesper brought Ivan to the floor despite him wearing a bullet-proof kefta.
And Kaz? That badass hot bitch has audacity!
He met the Darkling, roasted the hell out of him by saying that his girlfriend ran away because she was sick of him, made him cry, evaded his cut with a magic trick, knocked out his Materialnik, and stole his carriage.
Honestly, who's doing it like the Crows?

Something that I think about entirely too often is that scene in the first episode of Netflix Shadow and Bone where Kaz has his back turned (just before Inej is introduced) and there’s a moment where the vest he’s wearing becomes a bit of a focal point and we can see that the lines on this vest don’t match up. The lines are lining, but only just, and it lives inside my brain live a swarm of bees.

WIP Wednesday Friday
I was tagged by @sunfl8wer and @sparrowmoth (at some point in... the last 2 weeks?) to share snippet of a wip. Here's a good chunk of a scene from the upcoming chapter of Heart Of The Country:
“You don’t have to let my da use you as a handyman, you know. We're here to have a break from working all the time.”
They’re upstairs, and Wylan is puzzling over something in the walls, chewing the skin around his thumb with a pensive crease to his brow. Jesper pushes a glass of water in front of him and Wylan accepts it gratefully. He downs it quickly, as if only realising how thirsty he’d been once he puts it to his lips. Jesper trades the now empty glass for a plate of cut fruit, which Wylan also accepts.
He’d learned fairly quickly that Wylan, genius as he may be, has all the self-preservation of a sliced apple—which is saying a lot, coming from Jesper.
He’s seen it enough times to know. Wylan will get too deep into a project or a piece of music or a new gadget for some scheme Kaz has cooking, and all forms of basic self-care go right out the window. He frequently forgets that his body requires things like food and water or sleep, like taking breaks. In cases like this, Jesper has picked up the habit of pulling him down for meals or bed or bringing him cups of tea or water and snacks because—whether it’s Dirtyhands himself, or a leaky roof, or the bloody Council of Tides—seeing his boyfriend collapse over a beaker or a half-built bomb is something he’d like to prevent.
“Thanks,” Wylan says, sparing a moment away from his work to bite into an orange slice. “And you don’t have to let him use you as a farm hand, either, if you want to argue about it.”
“Who’s arguing? Not me. I just thought you might like a handsome assistant.” That, and Jesper ran out of ways to entertain himself alone, but he doesn’t say that part out loud.
Wylan goes back to tinkering, squinting into the dim inner workings of the house. There’s a small lamp hanging overhead, and Jesper plucks it up and holds it closer.
“This isn’t about getting him to like you, is it? Because I already said—”
“It’s not that,” Wylan interjects. He holds his hand out and Jesper dutifully passes him a wrench. “Besides, I really don’t mind. This type of work… It’s nice. I like being able to help around here. I like feeling useful around here.”
Jesper squats down and rests his elbows on his knees, looking closer at the exposed wall Wylan is pouring over the contents of. “So, what’s the problem with all this then?”

Wylan being enraptured by the "extremely rare" butterflies and the intricacies of their ecosystem and then mercilessly handing them out like doritos is the most hilarious representation of the duality of his character
