Six of Crows fans start treating Kaz's cane like a mobility aid and not a quirky accessory challenge

#why are you as a person making 'au where Kaz's cane is [insert item that can't support a person's weight or help them walk]' posts in the#year of our lord 2023#also 'omg au where/what if kaz [insert scenario that ignores the fact that Kaz has a physical disability]' posts#it's not cute its not funny#this was inspired by one specific post i saw recently (not going to elaborate bc it feels mean spirited) but its been a problem basically#since the books came out#anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk#six of crows#soc#kaz brekker#shadow and bone

One thing that really stood out to me when comparing the S4 script to the actual episodes was how different Roman acts in the finale when Shiv changes her mind.

It's more or less the same after Kendall lies about the waiter, but up until that point the script has him actively pushing Shiv to vote Kendall in and he actually seems angry at her:

Whereas in the final scene, he's quiet in the background for most of the initial argument and this is literally the only thing he says to Shiv about the vote:

He's not telling her to decide one way or another, and he's not trying to change her mind (he probably knows that she won't). He literally just wants it to be over.

It's such a good change and feels way more in line with where he is mentally at this point. He's clearly uncomfortable with Kendall being in charge in both versions, but the final one reflects how his headspace has changed since the funeral and leads much more naturally into his 'it's all bullshit' bit at the end.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

some of you in the notes.. i would say read the room but you didn't even read. the post

#people will literally treat young children like they're pets or not human yet and then simultaneously expect them to act like adults#with full understanding and context for the world around them and complete control over their bodies. it's so nonsensical.#especially since the people who complain about kids are always thee most emotionally immature ppl you've ever met#'why does the baby on that plane keep crying' if i had only been alive for 5 months and suddenly felt my ears pop i'd think i was dying too

kaz will never not be the brother of a dead boy and im so normal abt how that's the big key piece of his self he tells inej abt In The Books. like everything else can come after first and foremost his brother is dead and kaz is alive. it's so

#and like the big thing here is that jordie's death is such a cataclysmic thing for Kaz that he ends up haunting the whole narrative#like the other characters all have people they lost and those play huge parts in their personal arcs but jordie's death and its consequences#end up shaping everything. kaz loved and missed his brother so much he made the whole world feel it#and it makes me so curious about what post-ck/soc 3 life would look like for kaz bc he basically spent over half his life trying to avenge#his brother and having that as his primary reason for being and now he's done that but like. hes still alive. his brother is still dead.#and reckoning with that fact and what it is he even wants now or how he can move forward will be a big part of the rest of his life#six of crows#kaz brekker#jordie rietveld

Not an "art with Bad Things in it is Bad" person or a "the more Bad Things a work has the better it is, actually" person, but a secret third thing (the quality of a work is determined not by what topics or ideas it contains but by whether/how it engages with and examines those ideas)

#i've been seeing a lot of 'trigger warnings are like glowing reviews to me' nonsense on here and i fear many of y'all have missed the whole#fucking point. truly the media illiteracy website.#esp since these are the kind of people to be like 'STOP defining things by TROPES' and then turn around and say 'this is good because#it has DARK STUFF' like ma'am that's the exact same mindset#don't make me tap the ursula k le guinn quote sign#a work being sad/dark/edgy doesn't automatically make it art. it might make you more likely to enjoy it if you like works that include#that subject matter but just having it doesn't say anything about the quality of the work itself. there is no single 'if it has X then it i#or isn't Y' formula for assessing a work of art. every single assessment is a case by case basis. there is no shortcut.#also i can't believe i have to say this but just because something made you cry or you personally related to it doesn't mean#it's good or well done and just because something didn't make you cry or you didn't relate to it doesn't mean it's bad or poorly done.

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function
