honestly if I was in the grishaverse and I called Nikolai a pirate and then he corrected me to say he was a privateer, I would the bully the fuck out of him for it. Because wdym you’re bragging about the fact you went and got mommy and daddy (literally) government’s permission to commit crime??? Wdym you didn’t have the balls to just be a criminal, you had to get permission to do so??? goody two-shows loser behavior. I wouldn’t call him a pirate again simply because it would be insult to pirates to do so.

I hate it when people deliberately misunderstand and hate on Alina's ending at the end of the trilogy, they act like she's part of the "gave up her powers to get married and have kids" trope when it is literally not what happened. She never wanted power or a throne. She chose to fake her death to live as a normal person and she used the money she got to buy the orphanage she grew up in, after the darkling (who people defended and wanted her to end up with for some reason) destroyed it and murdered all the people who raised her. She chose to spend her life with mal after the war caring for orphaned children like them so she could give them a better childhood/life than the one they had. Please develop some reading comprehension before hating on her ending pls

and with the whole "wtf would she choose mal over nikolai/darkling?" she chose to love mal and i think it's quite beautiful that they used the one thing that they always had in common to live the rest of their lives together.

[ohifonlyx33]

"Why would Alina choose Mal"

Because she LOVES HIM. NEXT.

"Why would she give up her powers?"

Because she didn't want them.

"She could have been The Queen! With Nikolai"

The queen said no thank you I don't want it without Mal!

"But why!"

Because she loves him! He's her bestie. She wouldn't willingly hurt him or choose that path if she were not narratively forced into that role.

"But the darkling-"

Tormented and manipulated her.

"But they were made for each other!"

As narrative foils. He's what she fears becoming. He's her archenemy. She hates him. And this wasn't an enemies to lovers trope.

MAL WAS ACTUALLY MADE FOR ALINA IN A MORE FULFILLING WAY... he was there to support her, not oppose her.

"...Because Mal and Alina were only drawn together by magic"

Oh, because she and the Darkling were only drawn together because of normal circumstances? He didn't come abduxt her to use her as a pawn? I thought you just said they were fated to be together because of their magical natures. But when Mal and Alina have an unknown magical connection on top of a decade of friendship and care... you don't like it?

If you wanted some kind of dark romance, go read another book. Alina wants LIGHT in her life.

And when it comes to Nikolai she took one look at the state of ravkan politics and said 'fuck no that's too much drama ive had enough'. She very clearly didn't want to be queen either, she said no thank you im gonna live the cottagecore life with a hundred adopted children (and cat.) As she should

so i was googling the grishaverse world building(as one does, do not judge me)

and i found out that kaelish people think that grisha blood has medical properties, so they kill grisha to drink their blood

my jaw actually dropped, mainly due to the realization that colm fahey is kaelish. so, um… sir. your people think drinking your wife and child’s blood is a good idea.

idk i think every grisha and otkazat’sya couple in the grishaverse is interesting bc basically everyone has weird, convoluted beliefs about grisha. but they’re able to see past those beliefs and fall in love anyway.

but anyway, here is my source:

not a week goes by where I don’t think about how the six of crows adaptation managed to find six actors who looked, embodied, AND GENUINELY CARED about their characters only for the show to get canceled before they could properly execute the ice court heist :( aka the oceans 11 of fantasy heists…

My randomest pet peeve is when fanfic writers say Nikolai is a whiskey drinker when he is canonically a brandy enjoyer

The trivia section of his fanwiki is so fucking funny
