Kaz after Wylan called him out after the Oomen scene (saying that Kaz can't just throw Oomen overboard because he promised to let him go). And the Hannah scene (saying that he can't say stuff like that to her because she's a child). And the Alys scene (saying he can't threaten her because she's pregnant).

Jesper: Can I ask you something?

Wylan: Yes, Id cry if you died

Wylan: Yes, Id still love you if you were a worm

Wylan: No, I dont hate you or want to break up

Jesper: Thanks

Since Kaz probably has a HUGE issue with sleeping in front of people because of his major (understatement) trust issues, I'm obsessed with the idea of him just falling asleep in front of his friends at a get-together one night and it's a really big deal for them, especially for Jesper.

Like one day Kaz spends the night at the van Eck mansion and they all sit together in the living room- Jesper and Wylan cuddled up on the sofa with a blanket over their legs, Kaz on the armchair doing 🌠important🌠 work stuff as always and everything is nice and comfortable. Eventually Wylan violently nudges Jesper and is like "Look!!"

He points at Kaz who is fast asleep and Jesper is like "Omg!! Omg!! Wylan, do you know what that means? He actually LIKES us!!"

I was always weak for the "person falls asleep in front of their friends/love interest and makes themselves vulnerable"-trope

OK, I MUST ALERT THE MASSES.

Wylan is able to stand up to kaz when he is at his worst (e.g. After Kaz de-eyes Oomen), BUT comes across as a cinnamon roll out of his depth BECAUSE HIS FATHER WAS A BITCH. HE IS USED TO STANDING UP FOR HIMSELF AGAINST AN ANGRY MAN BECAUSE IT WAS HOW HE WAS BROUGHT UP. But he comes across the way he does because although he can handle the people, he still doesn't know how his environment works yet

Thats also why he comes out with the craziest out of character shit every now and then like "we could wake them up" because he knows his own mind he just doesn't know what go's and what doesn't in this new environment

To put in other words, Wylan is badass and we love him.

The Crows are thieves, of course, they were going to steal the show and our hearts (pun intended)

Never forget what Netflix took from us and what we could have had.

I miss them so much, you don't understand 😭

Jesper and Dima : a Wesper Essay

I feel like we, as a Fandom, don't speak enough about that scene. Perhaps, it's because we know that Wesper is end-game and we can't see Jesper with anyone else than Wylan. Also, we might think that the purpose of that scene is only to establish Jesper as a queer character, and as a "player" who lives in the moment and has a string of anonymous hookups. HOWEVER, I'll argue that this scene has, in fact, everything to do with Wesper and reveals a lot more about Jesper as a character, about his aspirations, than we might give it credit for.

First of all, for what's supposed to be the aftermath of a "meaningless" quickie between strangers, this scene is incredibly tender. Jesper is being so earnest and gentle; in the way he speaks ; the way he kisses Dima goodbye, the way he touches his face, like he wants to imprint it in his memory. There's real emotion there ; real care, however fleeting.

But the true impact of that scene is in the way Jesper looks at Dima (props to Kit's acting there. We love you, Kit). There is so much longing in Jesper's eyes: it's plain to see, and almost painful to watch. He's probably not longing for Dima himself ; they haven't known each other long enough, but he's longing for a meaningful connection, something of lasting substance ; for companionship...for love. Jesper knows and understands that this wasn't meant to be (he says so himself). And yet, there's grief in the way he watches Dima leave. Why? BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENS TO HIM.

It's not the first time Jesper has a lover walk out on him. For him, watching Dima go is exactly like waking up alone after his first night with Wylan : it's the rejection and the sudden severing of a bond that barely had time to form. I'm going to quote my friend Ras :"Jesper is having war flashbacks" and yes, that's exactly what this is. Maybe he's not specifically thinking about Wylan in that instant, but that kind of hurt and disappointment is still a familiar feeling to him.

Yes, of course, Jesper is a flirt. Yes, of course he loves sex. And there's something enjoyable, exciting, and thrilling for him when he engages in impromptu sexual encounters with strangers, but Jesper is also someone who's deeply insecure and in constant need of validation. When his lovers walk out on him, he can't help but feel unlovable: good enough for a shag, but not good enough to keep around. What he truly wants is for someone to care about him: truly, deeply, meaningfully. But it's easier for his self-esteem to jump from one hook up to the next, because at the end of the day, he can tell himself he chose this lifestyle. When Wylan reminds him of his "reputation", saying "I thought someone like you wouldn't want anything more ", Jesper doesn't contradict him, but he's still stung by those words. Jesper is a player who doesn't really want to be one. At his core, this is not him. It's just a self-defense mechanism.

I feel like his brief time with Dima was sort of a tipping point for Jesper. He had no choice but to acknowledge the longing and the need for something more.

And then there's Wylan. To be able to reconnect with a past lover was an unexpected second chance for Jesper ; a wink from Lady Luck. He wasn't going to give up so easily this time.

In other words, Jesper/Dima walked so Jesper/Wylan could run. So I'm grateful for that scene in season one, which might seem inconsequential and gratuitous at first glance, but truly isn't.

Thanks for your attention.

I'm curious as to the most and least popular crows

Wesper in another universe

Jesper: maybe thats why we didn't get along in our first meeting, you are an Amy while i am a Jo, we are natural hostiles

Wylan: it fits, since it´s four of us and Matthias is clearl a Meg

Matthias: wait, the remaining sister is Beth and the remaining of us is...

Kaz entering with a bloody knife: no questions asked, where do you keep your stan remover?

Wylan whispering: we could ditch Kaz and invite Kuwei so he could be the Beth

Matthias: you got me at "we could ditch Kaz"

Jan Van Eck: You are not the son I raised

Wylan: Im not the outcome you hoped for, but Im exactly the son you raised

“When in doubt, look intelligent”

Did Wylan ever find out that Jesper wasn’t trying to kiss Kuwei? Bc I feel like that could be a rly funny moment

Wylan, lying in bed: I can’t believe I won that love triangle, I really didn’t think I was going to

Jesper, using Wylan as a pillow: Huh? What love triangle?

Wylan: You know, with you and me and Kuwei?

Jesper: I never liked Kuwei. I only kissed him because I thought he was you

Wylan: …

Wylan: Could you help me write a letter to Ravka? I need to gloat

Jesper: I always knew this was how I was going to go out

Wylan, very stressed: IN A WINE FIRE SURROUNDED BY RACOOONS!???

projecting my issues onto six of crows characters is the only way i cope
