Great..How am I going to tell my current fictional boyfriend that's its over, because I'm now in love with these Fools?

Omg I know, I've seen him floating around as a few fancasts and ran to Google to find out who he was. I am so on board. I really need to watch Shadow and Bone now 👀👀👀

Please I beg someone Photoshop lighter hair and robes on him 😅

Just to really bring the point home for those who have not read the Six of Crows duology and think that Inej deserves to “have some fun before she finds her way back to her true love”, or who perhaps think that a love triangle/jealousy drama would somehow spur Kaz into action (do you even know Kaz Brekker?):

For someone connected to the production to caption a photo of the actors with the (crack) ship name of their characters (“Tolnej”) and talk about “skin on skin” might seem innocent (”it’s just an Insta post”), but let’s look at the context for those who are upset by this – some of whom have suffered similar traumas and find comfort/inspiration in Inej’s character.

Here is a sample of Inej’s previous experience of skin on skin:

There were young men, old men, handsome men, ugly men. There was the man who cried and struck her when he could not perform. The man who wanted her to pretend it was their wedding night and tell him that she loved him. The man with sharp teeth like a kitten who had bitten at her breasts until she’d bled. Crooked Kingdom p. 274 Kindle version

And these are the men she remembers; mostly she forced herself to go numb, while making all the right noises and moves so Tante Heleen would not abuse her further.

Because she loves Kaz, she tells him she is willing to work on that trauma IF HE WORKS ON HIS. This does not mean that she is itching for skin on skin action there and then, it means she wants to be ready for it if they are to have a future together. 

What if he had come to her, laid his gloves aside, drawn her to him, kissed her mouth? Would she have pulled him closer? Kissed him back? Could she have been herself in such a moment or would she have broken apart and vanished, a doll in his arms, a girl who could never quite be whole? Crooked Kingdom, p. 275 Kindle version

AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WRITERS OF “SHADOW AND BONE”

“sometimes you need some skin on skin”

NO.

Not only is this caption extremely disrespectful and erasing Inej's trauma but by extension also being ableist and making fun of Kaz's touch aversion. Not to mention, ignoring Inej's struggles with touch.

And ofcourse, entirely erasing the fact that Tolya is canonically aroace.

At this point, I feel like only Amita Suman cares or even addresses Inej's trauma.

I don't know what else to say, i am too mad.

Come on, would you make fun of Inej´s ptsd for sexual abuse? of Wylan´s dislexia? of Jesper´s adhd? no! because those things caused them pain and Kaz is not adverse to skin contact because he cruel or cold, thats the whole point. Inej thought he was distant to mantain his facade but she realized he was just as traumatized as she was and they would grow out of it together.

Kaz: I have a comment to make about this mean girl character

Nina: Who? Kazibelle Rekler? the most nasty girl in the world with an even more nasty hair, Mina´s number one nemesis?

Kaz: Yes, she seems kind of flat

Nina: you mean she needs more boobs?

“Speak, she begged silently. Give me a reason to stay. For all his selfishness and cruelty, Kaz was still the boy who had saved her. She wanted to believe he was worth saving, too.”

Sebastian: What? You’re with child?
