or, the one where Wylan is struggling to pay his rent and plays music on the streets, Jesper dances and has no restraint and may or may not dance along to a cute street musician, and everyone is embarrassed at what these dorks get up to. {ao3}
It was February, another snowstorm had just hit, Wylan Hendriks was behind on his rent again, and apparently no one on this street had ever learned the values of tipping.
For all intents and purposes, the day should have gone well. He’d set up near a museum that was usually filled with tourists, but today it was curiously empty. Wylan had also started off with playing the violin, which usually worked in more “cultured” areas, but there was hardly anyone around to even hear him. The most attention he’d gotten was a few vaguely dirty looks and a disapproving glance from a police officer. However, the worst part of the day was the man who had walked up when Wylan pulled out his guitar and started singing, seemingly enjoying his performance… and then walked away.
All in all, he made a whopping three dollars.
Cutting ties with your rich father is, unsurprisingly, costly.
It is my personal headcanon that when Kaz meets Inej’s parents he breaks out some Suli proverb that Inej once told him in an attempt to impress them, but they’re very confused because they’ve never heard it before and it turns out that Inej has been making them up the entire time
my power is NOT:
being sharp as a blade or hard as a statue or fast as a bullet or cold as an ice cube that won’t melt in your pretty mouth.
my power is NOT:
being soft as a marshmallow or sweet as a sugarcane or smooth as a pearl that you can hang around your slender neck.
my power and i are one and the same:
raised with war in our hearts, adrenaline in our bones like nitroglycerin reaching for a match, vengeance stuck between our teeth like copper pennies, seasalt under our dirty nails, dying daisies in our ink-black hair, bittersweet affections coursing through our veins like silver ropes.
so just like that, i am:
made of velvet kisses and a soft girl’s hands and steel-toed boots and brass sailor songs mixed with my brother’s quiet prayers and the urban legends told around a campfire. i am hard and i am cunning and i am soft. you’re going to beg for my rose-scented kiss and cut yourself on my edges, all in the same breath.
conversations with @mathiashevlr: debating who has better waffles with which to convince Nina Zenik to marry them, while sitting in a dessert shop having a lunch of cake and milkshakes
kaz: my brother was in my dream last night i woke up cryin bc he told me im always in his way in life and he wishes i were dead so i told him to just strangle me next time
inej: id literally rather die than read a single page abt entitled white men
nina: actualy i can cause so much more pain i just choose not to bc i have a fragile heart
matthias: i came to talk to yall for once and u know what? im leaving
jesper: honestly ive aged four decades since i graduated high school
wylan: this just in: im gay as fuck
(bonus) kuwei: none of us [asked for this life] yet here we are all of us quietly suffering thru our own miseries
okay but imagine the grisha gals /ft. nina and inej/ living in a dorm together?? better yet, having their own sorority?? i’m talking some type of grisha kappa thau situation:
- rise and shine!!!!!! they all shout @ alina as it takes them an hour to drag her out of bed (and it still involves a lot of kicking and screaming on her part) - genya, nina and nadia helping each other choose a outfit for the day - nina goes for short denim skirts, flowy maxi dresses that cling to her body and hug her beautiful hips in JUST the right places, short bodycon tops /usually in bold, bright colours like red and coral and fuschia). needless to say there is no bra involved bc nina zenik gives zero frick fracks about her anatomy and particularly her nipples which are just that btw - nipples - genya and nadia are more into dainty jewellery and cute dresses but genya always adds a bit of edge to her outfit by throwing on a chic leather bandana or some other unusual accessory - meanwhile zoya carries herself like jessica jones: one pair of jeans and a black top but you can bet she looks DAMN good in that outfit - tamar rounds them up and leads them to class but is the first to groan @ the boring lecture and start planning her escape - tamar & nadia are often caught smooching in between classes and alina half-smiles, half-scoffs at them like, “smh girls don’t you have smth better to do” - that is until tamar & nadia catch HER smooching with zoya and they can’t stop teasing her about it (she literally never hears the end of it bc they keep coming up with more puns and comebacks) - inej is very diligent and goes to all her classes and always does her homework like three weeks before the deadline /the girls are in awe/ but she also spits in their sexist professor’s coffee, happily trips the asshole who muttered some ugly remark about nina’s leather shorts and is always ready to help her girls in case they don’t understand smth/need a little nudge during a particularly tough test - nina’s in charge of refreshments and she has a habit of treating them to ice cream after class - movie nights!! they always spend one day quarreling about what movie they wanna watch bc nadia and alina can’t stomach horror and tamar’s secretly into super cheesy romcoms while inej is a crime/action/drama fan and nina could just binge watch three episodes of antm no problem - they usually settle for a harry potter marathon bc it’s like a middle ground and no one’s gonna complain - they have so!! much!! fun!! together!!!!!!!!! - literal squad goals - other sororities could never
