Wait wait wait
Show!Wylan really thought he was so inadequate that the guy he had a one night stand with and clearly liked not only didn't remember him:
But proceeded to shit talk him in front of him:
Which given the context of his backstory in the book that is starting to be revealed in the show [if you don't want spoilers, don't read this] that Wylan's rich merchant father kicked him out for not being able to read and constantly belittled him the entirety of his life, making him constantly feel inadequate, which is why he was so ashamed to tell Jesper he couldn't read- and so it's heartbreaking when you put this opening to their relationship in this context, when Jesper (unknowingly) was reaffirming what Wylan has been told his whole life
And then the cinematic poetry that was making the contrast scene in the same location:
This scene is him telling Wylan 'In the beginning, I probably would have left you like I leave all the others, but after getting to know you, I've found you are worth staying for', he is telling Wylan, who was always told himself as he is isn't good enough, that Jesper loves him more after getting to know more about him.
I think season 3 will explore this concept more. The whole point is that Wylan has these things that he thinks he is unlovable for, but then as Jesper and the crows knows him more, they find out about these 'unlovable parts' and they still love him, showing Wylan true love that he hasn't really experienced before, so like, as much as I love slowburn wesper, I don't think speed running their relationship ruins it, I think it still leaves room for and provides necessary and relevant character arcs and character growth in really interesting ways that still tie to the book in tons of ways that matter

We know the Crows spent the night on Wylan's floor.
BUT LOOK, OUR LITTLE RAY OF DEADLY SUNSHINE WASHED EVERYONE'S BED LINEN 😭♥️
He did that. He really did that.
How did I not see this before? How are we, as a fandom, not talking about this?!

I think the season 2 trailer does a very good job of expressing the duality of Wylan. We get basically two cuts of him.
1. Him standing in a garden peacefully looking at a butterfly
2. EXPLOSIONS. BOOM. BLOWING SHIT UP WITH HOMEMADE DYNAMITE

"no mourners, no funerals"
we never got to see our crows together.
kanej is broken up, helnik is broken up, zoyalai didn't even had an opportunity.
wesper is happy and matthias alive but in jail forever and thinking nina betrayed him.
no brekker/helvar interactions, no ninej, no ice court heist, no colm fahey, no kuwei, no wylan/kaz falling through the roof, no matthias dreaming about nina, no jesper's "maybe i liked your stupid face", no "iwhcfyaiicwictyanmhbwwwfowotkdpbbtwwdwnsf", NO JOOST'S MUSTACHE.
alina ended up wearing zoya's crown standing beside nikolai, no "i would choose you, zoya. as my general, as my friend, as my bride" NO SANKTA ZOYA. NO DEMON KING. NO TRIUMVIRATE.
EVERYTHING IS WRONG. I'M MOURNING.

Absolutely broken by Freddy and Amita’s performance during the butterfly antidote scene
The way Inej knows that Kaz can’t be touched but she has to in order to save his life
The pain and suffering an unconscious Kaz feels as Inej touches him
Inej’s “forgive me”
Kaz turning away so no one else can see him weak and Inej wanting to turn to him
I will never recover

___
Jesper: "So, we went to the indoor playground again today!"

___
Wylan: "We have the most beautiful baby in the world."

___
Kid: "Papa, penis! Penis! Pee pee penis!"
Wylan: "I leave her with Jesper for one day... One fucking day!"
