“What do you like?” “Music. Numbers. Equations. They’re not like words. They … they don’t get mixed up.”
“If only you could talk to girls in equations.” There was a long silence, and then, eyes trained on the notch they’d created in the link, Wylan said, “Just girls?”
Jesper restrained a grin. “No. Not just girls.”
kuwei yul-bo
- let’s talk about how this KID….
- who was captured and forced to be a prisoner in a foreign place.
- who had no idea what the hell he was doing, spent his days locked up trying to recreate a drug that he had never created in the first place.
- a drug that his father, who he probably didn’t even get a chance to grieve, made for him.
- do you think he ever felt guilty that the drug originated as a way to protect him and conceal his power?? bc i do. his father made a mistake and instead gave him a death sentence. kuwei knew no matter what he did it wouldn’t be a happy ending.
- if he succeeded making the drug he would be expendable, but also people were dying bc of it and many more would if he replicated it. the amount of stress this knowledge must have caused him omg.
- he stalled as long as he could and pretty much accepted that someone would eventually come to kill him.
- he didn’t even flinch when nina looked like she was going to do it. and that’s heartbreaking. imagine him sitting there with his journals just waiting for death bc he didn’t know what else to do.
- he delivered one of the saddest lines in CK when he was asked what he was good at and he replied “i never had a chance to find out.” bc think about it…this teenager probably had no idea who he was yet and thought he’d never live to see the day he’d find out. not even when those murder nerds swooped in and saved him.
- they probably seemed so…different from him?? sure they were around his age but each of them had a strong sense of identity and they had each other, and that was way more than he had. imagine him trying to piece bits of himself together based on who they were
- and he still didn’t know if he could trust them, but once again he had no choice but to??? his fate was in someone else’s hands again. bc they were just kids too so why couldn’t be tough like kaz, smart like wylan, etc etc.
- also think about how he could hardly understand them and they weren’t even always on the same page as each other, yet he had to depend on them wow???
- plus his crush on jesper might have been him discovering his sexuality. we don’t know?? imagine the whirlwind it must’ve been for him to finally feel safe to figure himself out and develop attachment to things
- drawing, boys, pranks, whatever idk
- he just wanted to be free and validated and get a ship to ravka.
- and he knew something could go wrong and he could be handed over to someone else and forced to make parem, so when he saw that window of opportunity to finally kiss the cute sharpshooter, he took it!!
- it was his one shot!!! and that was i c o n i c
- nina’s perspective captured him perfectly. “a boy not much younger than she was, caught up in a war he hadn’t chosen for himself. a survivor.”
- she and matthias determined kuwei was just a kid and one of them and y’all still leave him out………okay.
kuwei was a gift. he was so pure. he used his powers to save their lives. pulled two great scams, he knew kerch better than he let on and that jesper scene, and then he turned around and OFFERED TO GIVE UP HIS FREEDOM IN EXCHANGE FOR THE OTHERS? COME ON. APPRECIATE THIS KID. HE WASNT EVEN THAT GOOD AT SCIENCE OR DRAWING BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE STILL TRIED.
anyone else live under the assumption that they’re constantly doing something wrong

Dropped a cheeky vote for my pal Corbyn ✌ don’t forget to vote today UK folks, you have until 10pm, and as long as you’re in line by then, you can’t be turned away. It literally takes 5 seconds, and more importantly it’s cool to care about the future of your country! Don’t let apathy get the better of you!
If you’re unsure how to best use your vote to beat the Tories in your area, here’s a handy website! Whilst I encourage everyone to vote Labour if they can, make sure to check this, because voting SNP or Lib Dem locally might be more valuable.
Remember, a vote for the Tories is a vote against your LGBT+ friends, your mentally-ill friends, your disabled friends, your poor friends, your nurse friends, your teacher friends, your national health service, your student friends, your non-white friends, and your young friends.
Vote Labour!
(or whatever will beat the Tories locally …)

having a protagonist who’s emotional + cries a lot is…. Good. love that. will never get tired of that. love seeing them wear their heart on their sleeve. apathy is out. unrestrained emotions, no matter how embarrassing, are in
Reminder if you’re in the UK to get out and VOTE today. Young people support Labour overwhelmingly - we can make the difference. Don’t let there be another 5 years of Tories. Let June 8th be the end of May ✊️
