Wylan Van Eck at the sight of rare butterflies: Wow. look at these incredible and unique rare creatures. I’m going to spout copious amounts of facts about them whilst I think about how lucky I am to be witnessing this right now.

Wylan Van Eck about five minutes later: eat the pissing butterflies you fuckers or die

wylan and jesper being two fully fleshed out characters independent of each other with complex trauma, emotions and plotlines, but also having a queer relationship storyline that’s touched on throughout the books (and s2 of the show) without any homophobia tropes/plots is something that is so special to me. they have your average relationship drama (average for a fantasy series). they have cute flirty crush moments. they have a father telling a kid he’s good for his son. they genuinely mean everything to me.

I love that in terms of Wesper content we either get

High quality pictures:

Or literally pixels that someone either had to watch that scene a bunch of times or they have really good vision to notice:

a reminder that we are lucky to have gotten a soc adaptation at all. the books are so perfect that nothing was going to live up to them anyways. if u think of them as separate entities, i promise you’ll enjoy yourself much more!

Wesper high school band au whennnn?????

Wylan would deffo be first flute, Jesper would play the saxophone (definitely not biased at all). Oh, and Matthias is definitely a tuba player don't even try to prove me wrong 😂.

Edit: I can see Kaz as a clarinet and Inej as a violin player 🧐

Jesper: What’s that?

Wylan: Electrical plans for the building

Jesper: Should I be scared?

Wylan: It was driving me crazy trying to figure out what that switch does, so I went down to the stadhall and I got these. All I had to do was pay 25 kruge and wait in line for 3 hours

Jesper, sarcastically: Wow! If only more people knew

Wylan, sincerely: Yeah!

Wylan, looking in the mirror not realising Jesper can see him: :(

*two hours later*

Wylan, walking into the room: Jes, what happened to the mirror?

Jesper, holding a hammer: it was talking shit

SEMIFINALS

I will forever laugh at the fact that Jesper finally realized he and Wylan had already met WHEN HE WAS ON TOP OF HIM😂😭

Anyways STREAM SHADOW AND BONE S2!!!!!

okay everyone let be real, wesper carried the show and no one can argue with me

Ok there is no doubt in my mind, that wylan would get jealous of milo the goat bc someone would have accidentally forgotten to tell him milo is a goat.

like jesper would be like: i miss milo sooo muchhh

wylan: ugh why dont you just live with him if you love him soo much 🙄

Jesper: oml that is SUCH A GOOD IDEA - HE CAN COME STAY WITH US

*wylan gets more jealous*

and then it just continues for like a couple of months until wylan sees milo and realises he is a goat.

i don’t want s&b to get cancelled, but if it did, i find it kinda hilarious that canonically the only happy couple is a gay couple. malina just broke up, kanej are separated, matthias is still in hellgate. wesper just moved in together. s&b really said forget bury the gays, let’s celebrate the gays! let the straights suffer!!

Show Wesper is cute but it doesn’t do book Wesper justice. I wished the show took the repressed wizard and dyslexic guy and properly explored their issues. Them helping each other out with their issues is my favorite part of their relationship in the books. Their chapters in Crooked Kingdom made me cry. They are my favorite couple in the books because they help and support each other. Six of Crows teases them and the audience expects them to be the comic relief couple as a breather from the Helnik and Kanej angst but Crooked Kingdom beautifully subverts this initial assumption and gives them a captivating storyline where they both become better as a result. It doesn't just reduce the LGBTQ+ characters as a fun side couple. This ship will always have a special place in my heart. It's probably the first mlm ship I really got invested in and they are mutually supportive of each other and help each other grow. This may be a weird metaphor but Show Wesper is the equivalent of eating fluffy and sugary dessert for every meal where book Wesper is more like a savory meal, less overt sweetness but more filling and satisfying.

another reminder that KAZ IS THE ONE THAT FIRST CALLS JESPER “JES” IN THE BOOKS

I feel like we as a SOC fandom do not talk enough about how Jesper just accidentally kissed Kuwei instead of Wylan 😂. Like my boy was given so many chances with Wylan and somehow STILL fucked up exponentially. In his defense, Jesper was going through it with Kaz and had some serious relationship drama with his dad, so can we really blame him? But I can just imagine Jesper gossiping about this to Nina (my fav besties <3) and Nina absolutely losing her mind 😭.

Thoughts?
