Senza titolo

and i'd in fact, love to put here few moments where inej was SIMPING for kaz brekker.

i don't blame her though.

kanej + post-canon & “that’s the laugh”

short story by @oneofthewednesdays (under read more :D)

“The Wraith can manage it.” “The Wraith is a sixteen-year-old girl currently lying unconscious on a table. She may not even survive the night.” “She will,” said Kaz, and something savage flashed in his eyes. Matthias suspected that Brekker would drag the girl back from hell himself if he had to.

Was there never another dream?

Disclaimer: all of the gifs in this post come from this wonderful gifset by floraflorenzi.

Okay, SO. I know we’ve been talking about the kanej scene by the fire, and his “I need you” and “I only invest in one of a kind” confessions. But this one needs to be talked about too since I love it so much.

It doesn’t show in this gif, but here, she’s getting off the barstool she’s on and inadvertently steps closer to him. But where we’ve seen from his interactions before, he doesn’t step back. He also doesn’t break eye contact with her, nor does he for the entirety of the series. A+ Freddy carter.

AND her eyes flit down to his lips, even if it’s for only a second. I’m always a slut for that.

The close up of her face in this shot… I don’t think I need to explain that close ups like this imply closeness and intimacy. Also, her voice was very soft when she repeated his words back to him.

The way she offers the dagger to him, and there’s a hesitation before he reaches out to grab it… it’s SOFT OKAY

And girl… just LOOK at the way they look at each other here. The way they lock eyes the WHOLE TIME when she reaches down to grab the knife from the holster near her knee? The way his face is still hard but his eyes are not?

For a relationship like Kaz and Inej, where they don’t ever kiss or lay all over each other or sleep together, even when they may want to eventually have a chance to do one or even all of the above, this was still really sexy. And it’s why I like them so much, because these scenes that are nothing special to some couples become, like, crazy intimate for kanej. And I’m LIVING for it. I just KNOW I’m going to pass out when we see THAT scene from crooked kingdom.

And look… HER FINGER TOUCHES HIS HAND.

ITS UNDER HER DAGGER AND IT DOESN’T FALL COMPLETELY INTO HIS HAND UNTIL SHE REMOVES IT.

AND HE DOESN’T FLINCH AWAY.

Look this might be a total reach. It might not be on purpose by production and an accident on the actors… But I put my tin hat on for this and WHY would they give us a close up of her only giving him TWO DAGGERS. WHY would the focus be on their hands barely touching yet BLUR EVERYTHING ELSE. The way her finger is slipped under the dagger is too awkward for it to NOT be on purpose. And she holds her hand in place for a beat longer than someone normally would, too.

But I want to have hope this was done on purpose because they’ve done such a good job at showing Kaz’s phobia, and we know they do more than just graze hands like this in the future. We know kaz pushes his limits when it comes to inej, and I know that this kaz and inej are nowhere even near the kaz and inej that have the bathroom scene in crooked kingdom, but this is just… nice, seeing them share this sliver of a moment that he refuses to share with anyone else.

So, I made a list. If you have any to recommend, please send them in my ask box!!! I'll be editing this as people recommend websites, so this post may change quite a lot :)

For pirating books:

Libgen.rs -  great for most books. Mostly EPUB though, so if you want PDF versions you might have to check other websites.

Anna’s Archive - searches the web to find book files across the web.

PDF Drive - great for textbooks, exercises, etc. Also has quite a few fiction books in PDF. Good for people who mostly read in PDF.

Project Gutenberg - good for classics!

Pirating movies and TV shows:

Sflix - MOVIES!!! Depends which country you’re in though, may not work for some

123movies 

m4ufree.info 

Bilibili - Mostly anime; I unfortunately couldn't get this to work, so if this is good, please tell me!!

Tubi - this weirdly doesn't work in England, where I live. People from other countries, can you tell me if this works?

Thebigheap.com - literally the best thing ever, has nearly ALL movies and TV shows which are actually high quality, I recommend this so much  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Look Movie

Omgflix (thank you for recommending whoever you are!)

zoro.to just anime, but its worked for literally everything ive ever needed. there's both dub and sub options, and it's kept very up-to-date for currently airing shows too!

onionplay high quality show and movie streaming, its also kept pretty current! unfortunately, it doesnt have subtitles available for anything :(

mangareader.to what it says on the tin. i dont use it very frequently, but from what i have interacted with, it works quite well, with different translations available too

libby i saw this in the notes, and yes it works great. theres a free app available (i use that) but as far as i know reading on the site also works? itll prompt you for your local library and your library card information (card number and PIN) in order to make an account, but thats it

hoopla audiobooks! im not much of an audiobook person, but other people in my family highly recommend it. all you need is library card info and an email, and you're set! this also has a free app, but (to my limited knowledge, anyway) it also works on the site.

“Why the net, Kaz?“ I couldn’t bear to watch you fall.

Kaz has a hard time watching Inej perform, not because he doesn’t trust her skills, but there’s that slight chance she could fall and get hurt. It’s another reason why he can’t watch Jesper shoot at her, even though he knows Jesper is a talented shot. 

But as he turns his head to look away, Kaz observes the men staring up at her. With his intense stare, it seems as though Kaz feels another emotion. He knows what Inej has endured in the past, and Kaz becomes protective. We find out in Crooked Kingdom how hard it still is for her:

“It isn’t easy for me either.” Her voice, low and steady, the voice that had once led him back from hell. “Even now, a boy will smile at me on the street, or Jesper will put his arm around my waist, and I feel like I’m going to vanish.” The room tilted. He clung to the tether of her voice. “I live in fear that I’ll see one of her—one of my—clients on the street. For a long time, I thought I recognized them everywhere. But sometimes I think what they did to me wasn’t the worst of it.”
