Things i absolutely NEED to see in the potential Six of Crows spin-off:
1. Kaz and Wylan falling through Van Eck's ceiling
2. Alys van Eck singing 24/7 and the crows doing absolutely everything to stop her
3. "Open your danm eyes, Inej"
4. Nina raising the dead to catch Inej in the net
5. Colm Fahey being a tired dad to a group of murderous children
Feel free to add stuff ^^
this is a super funny comparison but i actually really liked bunny for a similar reason. like the bunnies are, on paper, trying to make samantha happier, friendlier, more free in her creativity, its just that happiness in their world means a certain sort of thing which someone like samantha cant achieve without being hollowed out and brainwashed first. the bunnies are all about enabling their most surface level self-indulgent desires, and thats not all bad. its in fact kind of a good impulse that comes from wanting to free themselves and each other from shame. samantha craves validation and companionship and thats not a bad thing either, but it turns her into someone who goes along with acts that fundamentally disgust her for the sake of feeling valued.
its not a one-to-one comparison to what i was talking abt earlier with reanimator but i do kind of love horror dynamics that are all about like a well meaning protag with normal human desires and follies that gets drawn in by a villain(s) who like enables those desires until the protag cant tell the difference between what they want and what theyre simply willing to endure in order to get that superficial validation.
honestly, it's embarrassing how much my inner horse-girl is enjoying this
Remember how after season one of Shadow and Bone we were all so Freddy Carter deprived that we binged all of Free Rein…. or was that just me?
'Lucifer', 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine', 'Arrested Development', 'Family Guy', 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', 'Community', 'Star Trek' and 'Veronica Mars' are among the shows theat got cancelled but fans fought SO HARD that they saved them.

STOP IT WYLAN USES MUSIC NOTATION FOR HIS CHEMICALS
You know I think an underrated theme in SOC is that, the adults have ruined the future of the next generation. They have created an inhumane environment that serves only them. They've crushed and wrung out the lives of the weaker and the new, keeping them desperate, subjugated, exploited, and dead. Pekka Rollins, Tante Heleen, Jan Van Eck, Jarl Brum, these are our villains.
But Six of Crows also says that these circumstances have manufactured a much darker and tougher individual than these people can imagine. While the older generation are content to rest on their laurels and their ill gotten easy lives, their juniors are sharpening their pain into cruel and effective tools, with a drive that someone on top simply cannot understand.
Idk, I think it's an interesting and empowering (if not subversively harsh) message for its core audience as a YA novel.
u all better be streaming sab s2 like turn it on as background noise bc if i don’t get to witness feral kaz carrying inej to the boat and ripping out a man’s eye i’m going to start breaking necks
one thing the show missed how deadpan and hilarious kaz is like he had such a slick mouth like in the books one of the reason why he was such a fun character was because how ruthless he was but also he was so outta pocket all the time like he had so much witty one liners
i'd like to thank freddy carter's big blue eyes and acrobatic eyebrows for their contribution to the "stay in ketterdam" scene in the show. you can practically hear kaz thinking you inej, you through them (and honorable mention to his jawline that could cut glass)
