The Sapphic Truths I Live By

Forget Wylan and Matthias, Inej and Matthias would be besties.

**Me when Inej Ghafa made her first appearance in Six of Crows :^^^

Am I the only one who thinks inej Ghafa is like Bageera?

Am I the only one who thinks Kaz Brekker is like the boss baby??

The RG Kar Incident: DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES TO RAPE

I’m unsure of how many non-Indians or even non-Bengalis know of this. Regardless of whether you do or do not, I would request you to reblog this post & share awareness about this. DON'T LET INJUSTICE GO UNPUNISHED.

On August 9, 2024, the body of 31-year-old post-graduate medical trainee, Dr. Moumita Debnath, was found partially naked in the seminar room of RG Kar, a hospital in Kolkata. She had just finished working a 36-hour night shift before this and, out of exhaustion, had fallen asleep while studying in the nearest seminar room on the fourth floor of the hospital.

Her family was informed beforehand that she had committed suicide, to which her mother emphasized on the fact that her daughter could never carry out such an act. On further investigation, it was found that Dr. Debnath had been raped and murdered in her sleep.

According to the Deccan Herald,

“There was bleeding from both her eyes and mouth, injuries over the face and nail. The victim was also bleeding from her private parts. She also has injuries in her belly, left leg… neck, in her right hand, ring finger and… lips. [...] “Her neck bone was also found broken. It seems that she was first strangulated and then smothered to death.”

According to Medical Dialogues,

“There were multiple hairs on the mattress and blood was soaked on the blue mattress [...]”

Later, it was found that Dr. Debnath’s glasses were shattered and her eyes were pierced with the shards of her glasses themselves.

Although one of the criminals (Sanjoy Roy) has been arrested, I am certain that there are others involved. In fact, it has been found that Sanjoy Roy, despite being an outsider, was granted access to PG Kar via personal relations with senior police officers.

The chief minister of West Bengal (despite being a woman herself) as well as members other political parties are trying, behind the scenes, to let this case fade away. Why? Oh right, it's really the privileged, upper class & upper caste sons and brothers of ministers who are behind this! No major crime can happen in a country without there being the hand of one or more influential persons, often politically involved.

Sisters and brothers, দিদিরা ও দাদারা, it would be a sin to remain silent in the face of such a crime. Our brave brothers & sisters pursuing medical practise have ceased working in their hospitals to protest against this grave crime against women, against humanity. We cannot let this injustice go unpunished! A crime against a single woman is a crime against all of us! We were born from a woman, raised by a woman—and now, when we see the honour, dignity and life of women at stake, won’t we join the andolan? Won’t we fight for what is right?

Requesting all Kolkata residents (who can) to join in at least any one of the protests mentioned below. There are provisions for elderly & disabled people. Men are invited to join us as well.

For those who want to join the Reclaim the Night protest at 11:55 p.m., please refer to this list of contact numbers (according to your region) provided by Miru Didi ( @arachneofthoughts )

Take hold of the night! We have always been told to stay wary of nighttime and the dangers, manifested in the form of cruel men, we may face. Not anymore—we must reclaim the night! How much fear is fear enough? If anyone wants to know further details and the phone numbers regarding this first event, please DM me.

Blowing the conch has always been a signal of strength. In traditional Bengali culture, it is almost always the women who blow the conch, be it in Durga Puja or the everyday pujas carried out at home. It was, and always will remain a sign of victory over evil. At 11:55 p.m., all those who cannot join the midnight assembly (the aforementioned event) can, instead, blow the conch from their own houses! Let them know you're not afraid. Let them know you've had enough. Let them know that once a revolution starts, especially one spearheaded by women, takes a long, long time to end.

[Please Note: These protests are not personally organised by me. I simply am in touch and will be attending the protest tonight.]

If you can, please do take the time to sign this petition below (courtesy of Miru Didi @arachneofthoughts) to aid our efforts:

People assaulting Doctors should be punished like Terrorists

If nothing, please do take the time to share and reblog this post wherever you can! DON'T LET RAPE GO UNPUNISHED!

Aww I love inej

Inej Ghafa💙 for the character ask

favorite thing about them: There are lots of things, but I think it's Inej's kindness and how she still is so warm and positive at the world after all that she's been through :( Her resilience and strength is amazing as she stayed brave and kind after her trauma.

least favorite thing about them: I know lots of people love this line, but it rubbed me the wrong way at first: I will have you without armor, or I won't have you at all. First I was like "... bruh you should know more than anyone that he needs that armor, and his trauma should be taken seriously." Idk it just felt like she was saying you better get over your physical touch issue and rip off that armor if you want to be with me WHICH I NOW KNOW it was not about that, so it's cool. But at first, it just made me mad.

favorite line: what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary.

brOTP: Nina. Their friendship is just so cutee

OTP: Kanej, ofc, but also I really have been starting to love Inej/Jesper? Like here me out: He cares about her and is there for her when Kaz could not be. She's completely comfortable with him and he's one of the only men that she's physically okay with hugging or kissing on the cheek. It's ADORABLE ok?

nOTP: Uh I guess like Alina/Inej. Eh I just don't like it or see it that much. She worships her like a Saint and Alina's very amused lol. I don't see anything past that.

random headcanon: I got the idea from a fic, but once Jesper trained as a Fabrikator, he made Inej another knife to add to her collection 🥺

unpopular opinion: Maybe that I ship Inej with Jesper bc a lot of people don't see that :) Everything else I completely agree with, like how she deserves the world and is an angel!!

song i associate with them: Rise by Katy Perry. It's perfect for her.

favorite picture of them

That's my favourite fanart from kiranightart bc LOOK AT IT AAH-

And my favourite from the show is

I couldn't find a good pic of her with her hair down but GOD I just fell in love when I saw Inej with her hair down

He's just jealous

Is it just me or Kaz is carrying out a petty revenge

He wanted to ask for a billion, but he didn't want to prove inej right (greed is your god scene)

We talk a lot about 30 million kruge, because of course we do, but we don’t mention often enough that the original offer was FIVE. It took Kaz one conversation to get it from five million to twenty million, and then he demanded thirty anyway. I love him.

KENJI - UGHHHH JULIETTE WHY DO YOU LIKE AARON SO MUCH

JULIETTE - theres many reasons but I have a feeling you don’t actually want to hear them so please tell me, what did my husband do

KENJI - WHAT DIDNT HE DO, first he ate a cookie with a knife and fork again, second HE ORGANISED MY WARDROBE AND AFTER THAT HE GAVE ME 50 BUCKS AND TOLD ME TO STOP STARING AND TO BUY MYSELF SOMETHING SPECIAL

JULIETTE - oh boy

KENJI - YES

JULIETTE - to be fair, you got your wardrobe organised for free and he gave you 50 dollars so I don’t understand why your complaining do much

KENJI - BUT HE ATE A COOKIE WITH A KNIFE AND FORK, THATS NOT OK

JULIETTE - i will admit that is a little odd, I’ll talk to him about it

KENJI - THANK YOU

Lmao so true—

kaz: i think that i might have some mild trauma.

nina: you THINK?!?

inej: MIGHT have?!?

jesper: MILD?!?!?
