New Romantics is the Crows
we're all so tired of everything
we're so young but we're on the road to ruin
and every day is like a battle
we hang back, it's all in the timing, it's poker, he can't see it in my face, but i'm about to play my ace
we need love, but all we want is danger
we team up, then switch sides like a record changer
the rumors are terrible and cruel, but honey most of them are true

Point of interest: Caes Mosor was the tower that is believed to be the origin of the shadow fog corruption that consumed Molaesmyr.
Caes Mosor is the central tower in the city. It also was believed to have originated from the labyrinth beneath this tower.
What’s interesting is that Ludinus’s tower has been revealed to be a completely different location. The Gildhollow Tower, which was in the northwest of the city. Imathan seemed to imply that Ludinus basically never left this tower after the town stopped it’s support and openly distrusted him.
So if Ludinus is the cause of the fall, there’s two options. One is that despite most of the town hating him, there were still a few mages down to clown with him and they were working with him in Caes Mosor. The other is Team Wildemount is going to to find that in Ludinus’s tower, there’s a passage that connects his to Caes Mosor’s labyrinth and he was doing secret shit unknown to anyone else.
It’s also possible that the reports were wrong and the origin was Gildhollow. But what is also potentially interesting is that Ludinus may have nothing to do with the fall of Molaesmyr. Of course hearing his history and knowing what he’s doing now, this seems untrue. But to quote Kaz Brekker: “When everyone knows you're a monster, you needn't waste time doing every monstrous thing.”
It is possible that he truly had nothing to do with the fall, but was inspired and intrigued by it. Perhaps that day was the day he learned about the power behind an Apogee solstice. Because what stands out to me is that Ludinus personally visited A2. (The site where the corrupted trees just the the Savalirwoods were.) Why go there if he already understood what happened? Why go there if he could just go to the Savalirwoods? Was it just because the same thing happened? Was it just to compare notes? He kept sending his annexes there too. A2 was something he was highly interested in.
Now the simplest answer is he totally caused Molaesmyr’s fall. But the possibility that he didn’t? Also very intriguing.

So I’m annotating six of crows for my sister in law and it’s been a hot minute since I last read it and umm I didn’t realize how many iconic quotes Kaz Brekker had!! Like I knew there were some but I didn’t realize how many, like…
Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever
I’m the kind of bastard they only manufacture in the barrel
When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing
Oh, it’s worse than that, Van Eck. If I fail, I don’t get paid
We’ll be Kings and Queens, Inej. Kings and Queens
Brick by brick, I will destroy you
Please, my darling Inej, treasure of my heart, won’t you do me the honor of acquiring me a new hat?
We’ll have waffles. And Whiskey. If this job doesn’t come off, no one’s going to want to be around me sober.
And those are quotes found in the first 100 pages, like part 1. Hello? Like who gave Kaz Brekker the right to have that many quotes that slap?
And don’t even get me started on Inej cause she has a record of iconic tracks too

Six of Crows Reread 🪶
Chapter 33: Inej
Finally Inej again!
I love the other Crows but I’m pretty biased towards Kaz and Inej.. whoops-
But ugh Heleen….
Inej stood perfectly still, but not even she could vanish with nowhere to go.
Heleen grabbed Inej by the shoulders and shook her. “Where is my girl?”
Inej looked down at the fingers digging into her flesh. For a brief second, every horror came back to her, and she truly was a wraith, a ghost taking flight from a body that had given her only pain. No. A body that had given her strength. A body that had carried her over the rooftops of Ketterdam, that had served her in battle, that had brought her up six storeys in the dark of a soot-stained chimney.
Inej seized Heleen’s wrist and twisted it hard to the right. Heleen yelped, her knees buckling as the guards surged forwards.
“I threw your girl in the ice moat,” Inej snarled, barely recognising her own voice. Her other hand seized Heleen’s throat, squeezing. “And she’s better off there than with you.”
Inej channeling Kaz right here when she lied about throwing the girl into the moat
“When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing.”
Heleen got to her feet, whimpering and coughing as onlookers moved to help her. “If she’s here, then Brekker is as well!” she shrieked.
At that moment, as if in agreement, the bells of the Black Protocol began to sound, loud and insistent.
Maybe Dirtyhands and the Wraith make a more dramatic entrance than even Heleen
“I told you you’d wear my silks again, little lynx,” Heleen called from the courtyard. The gate was already lowering, as the guards sealed it in accordance with Black Protocol. “You’ll hang in them now.”
The gate slammed closed, but Inej could swear that she still heard Heleen’s laughter.
Wish I could punch Heleen in the face—
I can’t believe the show just killed her off though!
They never showed a body though so here’s hoping Pekka is a liar too

“When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing.”
selective and semi-private indie portrayal of KAZ rietveld BREKKER, JESPER FAHEY, naoise burns NESHA VLADSTIK, and WYLAN van eck HENDRIKS, as understood by sen.
Tumblr media
rules below cut for mobile users.
general:
all muns must be 18+, as i am. i do not allow anon asks, so please be aware of this. this is my first venture into indie/1x1 rp, so please go easy on me—i’m accustomed to group rp, and still don’t know all the terminology. i will use the block button, whenever i feel it necessary. be nice and respectful. it’s a basic thing. i’m here to write, not argue—so let’s keep the ooc drama to a minimum. i don’t interact with call-out posts/purity culture/passive-aggressiveness/etc. don’t godmod/metagame, please. my name is sen! i'm 18+ and use they/them pronouns.
writing:
i write semi-literate to literate multi-para responses. i use a mix of beta and legacy editors, mostly because i’m new to tumblr and can’t figure out what the hell is going on with that, but i don’t seem to have the option to switch whenever i want. i will cut posts whenever possible—please be patient with me. i’m very active and have a tendency to reply frequently. please don’t feel rushed by me, i’m very patient���this is just a heads-up. just a warning, i talk in the tags. a fair bit.
plotting:
please don’t reach out through dms to plot with me unless we’re mutuals. if we are moots, feel free to contact me at any time to start up a thread, fangirl about the source material or our threads/characters, or just chat about anything at all. ask memes are a great way to start up interactions—always feel free to throw an ask my way, even if we’re not moots. memes and open starters are open to everyone, and i’m willing to write those threads for as long as they go.
formatting:
i do use small text, just to keep my dash easier for me personally to read. if you’d prefer i not use it for various reasons, just reach out and let me know! i generally use gif icons and/or small/medium gifs, but you don’t have to. i do not expect you to match my formatting. please don’t expect me to match yours.
content:
dark themes and triggers will absolutely be present on this blog due to the nature of the source material. i will do my best to tag things as needed, using the format “trigger cw.” things that will 100% be tagged are as follows:
death.
gore.
nsfw content (not that there should really be any of it on this blog).
this list will be added to as necessary.
following:
i will not follow/interact with blogs that:
write only/primarily smut/nsfw content.
contain omegaverse or a/b/o content.
roleplay as real people.
use a deceased person as a fc.
if you write untagged smut/nsfw, i may block you. if i follow you, i have read all of your rules/information and am interested in writing with you. if i don’t, i’m not. if you initiate a follow, 9 times out of 10 i will check it as soon as i see it and read your page. if i don’t follow back, i’m not interested—it’s nothing personal, and it could be for any number of reasons, so don’t feel bad. please don’t spam follow me to get me to accept it—my answer likely won’t change. if i initiate a follow, you are (of course) under no obligation to accept it. if you don’t intend on reciprocating however, please block-then-unblock (i think that’s a softblock?) me to remove the follow. i will take the hint, i promise. if i soft or hard block you, it’s nothing personal. i keep my dash very strictly curated.
nopes:
i do not write nsfw/smut. i do not accept anons. i reserve the right to not interact with anyone or engage in any interaction that makes me uncomfortable—period, end of discussion.
asks:
any meme/starter can be answered at any time. (if it’s one of those “send an emoji” ones you may need to remind me which post it’s coming from.) you’re always welcome to turn an ask response into a thread. please don’t use me as a source for memes—reblog them from the op. they’re the one that created it, they should get the credit.
for mutuals:
if you’re going to drop a thread, please let me know. i don’t mind, just tell me ahead of time so i’m not eternally on hold. always feel free to reach out to me. my dms are open: if there’s a reply that you’d like me to make some changes to, any plotting things you want to clear up, a cool musing you saw that fits our characters, or you just plain want to chat—hit me up.

Pt.2 of Grishaverse quotes that I would get tattooed to my forehead in a heartbeat because they are just poetic genius.
“I have been made to protect you. Even in death I will find a way”
“Music, numbers and equations. They’re not like words. They don’t get mixed up.”
“Crows remeber human faces. They remeber the people who feed them, who are kind to them, and the people who wrong them too. They don’t forget. They tell each other who to look after and who to watch out for.”
“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart”
“I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all”
“When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing”
I think Pt.3 is in order

as far as we know, i'm assuming kaz's backstory is stretched into 4 episodes, assuming they don't edit it again tomorrow and add more. that 4th episode is named after something kaz says, “When everyone knows you're a monster, you needn't waste time doing every monstrous thing.” kaz says this to inej when he supposedly had people set that girl's apartment on fire when talking with geels. but he didn't, he was bluffing. and do you know another time kaz was bluffing? when he told pekka he buried his son alive. and guess who else we have on that episode:
Tumblr media
the little boy whom the kaelish prince was named after. and look at this:
Tumblr media
"while Kaz Brekker (Freddy Carter) and his crew attempt to settle an old grudge with vicious rival Pekka Rollins." does that not sound like they're using a bit of the crooked kingdom plotline already to you? with kaz bringing pekka down once and for all and putting him on his knees and asking (once again) if he remembers him and to say jordie's name. when he told pekka his son with the little dime lion toy was buried alive underground in some farm.
imagine kaz asking pekka what he did. what was the name of his brother. and this is when we finally find out after all the happy scenes of kaz and jordie throughout episodes 1 to 3, what tragedy actually had befallen them

don’t know who needs to hear this, but kaz brekker does not murder for the fun of it. he does not love crime and killing. kaz brekker is an antihero, and he will do anything for the right price, but there needs to be a price. his character introduction is “kaz brekker didn’t need a reason” but you’re not supposed to be believe that - dirtyhands convincing an entire city that he doesn’t need a reason is just one of his magic tricks. inej even says it a sentence later, kaz always has a reason. every time kaz kills someone in the duology it’s for a very explicit reason - even inej kills more people than he does. when he’s given a reason kaz is harsh and bloody with his punishments, but he will never do anything without them. if everyone thinks you’re a monster, you needn’t do every monstrous thing. by keeping his reasons quiet, kaz convinces ketterdam that he is a monster, that he’s the villain of the story. 
kaz brekker is not a villain, he’s a kid who did the ultimate “fake it until you make it”. and he managed to trick half the readers of six of crows too, apparently, considering they’re intent on reading him as an evil person rather than a morally dubious, traumatized, charismatic kid who’s highly intelligent and callous.
