Inej in her first chapter was really like “kaz brekker didn’t need a reason” huh you fools you absolute goddamn idiots, kaz always had a reason and you don’t know this bcz you don’t know him the way i do you stupid shits and that’s very sexy and soulmaty of her. I like this way of establishing territory.
Inej: Murder and revenge aren’t the way, Kaz. Killing Rollins won’t make you happy.
Kaz: *tells her what Rollins did to him and Jordie*
Inej: …now, if I kill him then that’s not really revenge, is it? If anything, that’s justice. I mean at this point it would be immoral for me not to kill him, if you really think about it.
Based on a photo from this post, which reminded me that Ketterdam is based on early 1900s Amsterdam, so photography is possibly a thing. The idea of Kaz and Inej getting a photo taken when they’re older is just very precious to me.
Six of Crows is kinda funny because at first you could be excused for thinking ‘oh, Inej feels more for Kaz than he does for her’ and then about halfway through the first book you start to get this slow realisation that just gets more and more solidified over the next book and a half that ‘oh, damn, boy’s got it bad. like bad, bad.’
sleep with the curtains open because you can turn off six hundred alarms but you can’t turn off the sun without effort

once, a guy in my dorms came back from a hazing for a sport that you wouldn’t think is the kind to do hazing. he was bloodied, crying, throwing up, and he had to be carried by two older students.
the conceit of the hazing was― they got the freshers drunk, and told them all that the person who ran hardest at the wall would avoid the hazing.
staring at a task, willing yourself to do it, is like running at that wall as hard as you can. it is, by design, not going to work. you will get bodily fluids on your sheep onesie.
you have a mind that lends itself perfectly to switching between tasks. let it wander. let it return in time, fresh and ready. if you keep running at that wall, you will get nothing in return but guilt and a headache.

with adhd, the easiest way to make a goal feel impossible is telling yourself you will do x thing every day from now on no matter what.
good news: this also works for obsessive habits you want to break. nothing makes you want to procrastinate on using social media more than giving yourself a specific goal about how to use it.
you could tell yourself to post 10 times or like thirty posts or use x feature every day or something. maube set a timer, and force yourself to not leave the app until 20 minutes have passed. you will be desperate to do anything else after that.
the negative brain patterns you have programmed into the ‘i must do this’ categories in your life can be hacked into the things you want to stop doing. you have that power. you’ve learned the techniques already, now you can apply them to the things you want to use them on

sleep clothes aren’t mandatory and getting changed in the morning can delay the day by hours. before you go to bed, just change into the clothes you would usually spend the day in. you can always change again once you’re up and about and it feels less herculean a task.

you want to do a thing? you need to do a thing? reverse psychology yourself:
do it for exactly thirty seconds and then force yourself to walk away.
your brain won’t like that very much.
OP why did you imply that with effort I CAN turn off the sun
We know where it is and we know what it’s made of. Anyone who knows those things about me could kill me
