monolime:

All three of my Six of Crows couples portraits. I felt so much from this series, felt so much for these characters and the very different relationships that progressed throughout the books. Thank you, Leigh, for making something beautiful and fun and heartbreaking all in the space of a few hundred pages. One of the highlight reads of my life.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me kind messages – I unfortunately can’t respond to them all, but it’s been so much fun working these characters into visual life and having you all raving and gushing along the way. I really really love you guys

Kanej and Mutsurie

I don’t think either Ishida or Leigh ever read each others works but I find it really interesting how both pairings are kinda similar.

Kaz and Urie (Similarities):

– Both lost a loved one to the system.

– Then they join said system to climb through the ranks. The reasons are the complete opposite.

– Are so damn emotional repressive

– Super protective of their significant other

– Fully realizes their feelings when the risk of death is right in front of them.

– Both choose to stay in the end

Inej and Mutsuki (Similarities):

–  Both were forced into the system and were used by it. 

–  Character arcs entail them being able to face themselves and overcome their trauma

– Have a nice friendship with another female character (Nina, Saiko)

– Dark-skinned knife-wielding badasses.

–  Were able to break through to their significant other.

– Stabbed in the chest and hugged by their significant other albeit in different ways (Kaz SO hugged Inej)

– Chose to go somewhere else in the end.

I think Kanej’s ending was what Ishida might have been aiming for with Mutsurie but didn’t have enough time and focus to really get it through properly. 

Kaz and Inej know they have romantic feelings for each other but also accept that they want different things and won’t let anyone stop them. They also acknowledge that they can’t be like a traditional couple. But rather then breaking apart the two chose to work together in destroying the system from the inside and out.

These kind of ships are the end of me. I love these guys so much.
