Wylan Van Eck - Tumblr Posts
"So we're all doing this for personal reasons, if we do anything to save humanity, don't ask us to do it again cause we promise that was not the intention we will 100% probably do this again when we get greedy"
Can we just appreciate Six of Crows for a moment?
Like, the characters each have their own elaborate backstories and reasons for wanting the money and the whole plot line is so well put together.
Also, it's just completely bonkers because one moment they're planning a heist and how to get back at Van Eck, and the next Kaz is making a "your mum" joke.
Nina, Kaz and Wylan are all siblings, Kaz is related by blood to both of them but Wylan and Nina are not related to each other by blood, that's the dynamic
She loves picking on him. I love her for it.
Kaz "I want easy access to my best friends mansion so I'll create a massive tunnel so I can go over whenever I want" Brekker
Kaz: I'm bored
Kaz: *builds an underground tunnel*
thinking about the fact that jan was so horrible that he fell short to kaz’s expectation of the world.
the crows as olympic athletes
kaz
hear me out — table tennis
he'd definitely be one of the more precise players
nicknamed "dirtyhands" for his use of unconventional techniques and trolling his opponents with snake shots and hidden spin
his role models include natalia partyka and ma long
like partyka, he competes in both the olympics and paralympics (classification 9)
inej
i think the obvious choice is artistic gymnastics; she'd be absolutely unbeatable in beam with her amazing balance
her fans have started calling her "the wraith", alluding to the way she twists through the air with unbelievable grace and strength
her biggest rival, dunyasha lazareva, is one of the only gymnasts who can match her in skill
jesper
skeet shooting
ithink the variability of the sport would definitely be something jesper prefers over something like air rifle/pistol
he's a star in the sport shooting world and made his olympic debut at 17 after switching sport from equestrian
(he met wylan at the riding club and the rest is history)
wylan
modern pentathlon
there was a brief scandal with his father and former pentathlete which put him in the public eye, but now he's famous only for his performance in the modern pentathlon
he first appeared at the youth olympic games where he claimed gold by a large margin
now at his first olympic games all eyes are on him as the favourite to win
nina
at tokyo 2020 she's just a random competitor in judo, unknown to most of the world — and then suddenly she shocks the entire world with a gold medal that almost looked easy
now everyone knows not to underestimate her, as she looks to defend her olympic title
matthias
i mean, he's made out of pure muscle, so is it really a surprise to see matthias in olympic wrestling?
he has made a name for himself as six feet and four inches of pure strength and power
he makes the team for the second time, up against competitors like jarl brum, three time olympic gold medallist
the crows' music taste headcanons
so this is the least thought out thing possibly ever...
kaz
alt-rock, avant-rock, and post-punk
radiohead, my chemical romance, the smiths
inej
musical theatre,
west side story, hamilton, the phantom of the opera
jesper
blues, jazz, electro, swing
frank sinatra, caravan palace, jamiroquai
nina
pop. what else is there to say
taylor swift, olivia rodrigo, sabrina carpenter, abba
wylan
classical and classical-inspired songs
laufey, mendelssohn, sibelius, brahms
matthias
hymns (and pop - nina has been rubbing off on him)
traditional hymns, abba, taylor swift
there are also different religions in the different cultures on the grishaverse, and different religious and non religious characters interact with each other. None of the different religions feel less real than the others, some of them are more explored but all of them feel real.
I like that Six of Crows, Shadow and Bone, King of Scars, etc. Have religious characters in them. Because we get to see every facet of how it effects them as a person and how it affects the story. How deeply or not they believe. How much is pushing the religion on others and how some are not. I like seeing how much thought the author put into seeing their world as three dimensional with a great deal of thought and backstory to help us form a picture of the world.
can someone explain why I feel so much for fictional characters? they are just drawings or words on paper but i laugh at their jokes and cry when they get hurt. I get an overwhelming amount of feelings over people that do not even exist.
Jesper : HYDRATE OR DIE - DRATE!!
Jesper : *aggressively throws water bottle*
Inej : umm…..
Kaz : He’s trying to yell mental health and well being into us
Jesper : I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU
Wylan : *crying* it’s working
You know the Six of Crows obsession is bad when your science teacher is talking about how it’s hard to get inside the cell membrane but it’s easier to get out and your first thought is “omg just like the Ice Court!! I wonder if there are molecules like the Crows who are there for a heist?”. I think I need psychiatric help, this cannot be normal
No funerals
“you can’t just summon an entire fandom by two words.”
no mourners…
i hope the way Kaz treats Jesper changes, cuz the way he doesn't care about anything about Jasper makes me wanna punch him in the face AND YES I KNOW IT'S A CHARACTERISTICS KAZ HAS BUT I DON'T CARE
i swear every time i think about the crows i start having heart palpitations
Everyone talks about "maybe I liked your stupid face" when talking about Wesper, but is anyone going to comment on the fact that Jesper literally thought Wylan looked like a prince who had fallen into the wrong story. Like he took one look at him and thought he looked like a prince.
Your honor I love him
Fair warning any and all post I make for the foreseeable future will be either Captain America and The Winter Soldier(White Wolf), or Shadow and Bone/Six of crows related
The shadow and bone tv show gave me an even deeper appreciation for Jesper. I already love him, but the show made him my favorite character.
SPOILERS FOR CROOKED KINGDOM!!
I'm fighting for my life in the trenches(this starts after my mom said she wishes Kaz died instead of Matthias)
Also this is absolutely no hate to Jesper, I love him so much, but he did make some pretty big mistakes
This show is my bi panic
SHADOW AND BONE
The choke hold the "I hate everybody and everything but you." trope has me in is fucking disgusting.
