No thoughts just THEM

mad respect to Alina but if the Darkling said “I have seen what you truly are and I have never turned away” to me, I could not be held responsible for what comes next

[lorsanbitch]

bruh if people want me to stop sympathizing with villains they need to stop making the villains the ones who want to change broken systems

[aelsie]

Jessie, Ben, Daisy: The Darkling and Alina are like a bickering old married couple.

Me: that means….

Ravka = the child suffering from their bickering and impending divorce, needs major therapy

Genya = the mutual friend who set them up, having a hard time deciding who to side with (at first)

David = their overworked accountant…he can only make so much magic happen

Nikolai = the dashing, shiny young new boyfriend, soon to be stepdad, who Alina, smirking, pulled up with at one of their proceedings

The rest of the Grisha = the assets and estates they’re fighting over

The Crows = Alina’s legal team, ready to win (Kaz = no time for your shit lawyer)

Mal = their pet do—….wait who?

Baghra = Baghra (yelling at them both)

They’re like one of those over the top rich married couples with their dramatic melancholias and flourish-y outfits and when they fight, they definitely overshare and make public spectacles and people look at each other like oh god, this again.

It’s a family drama, and mom and dad are taking some time off and just need couples therapy, that’s all. For now, daddy is sleeping in a hotel.

i want fics that will explore alina’s descent into madness. darklina ones specifically. where she lives for years and years. where she loses her support system cause people die except for her and she loses her sanity slowly. where she becomes the heretic. where she FINALLY gets aleksander

[ancientgrecianvampire]

if anyone has fic recs for this specific plot pls send them i'm begging

[onamountaintop]

sometimes in shipping villain/hero discussions i feel like the only person who is okay with the bad guy staying bad. like redemption arcs are cool and i do enjoy it when i'm in the mood. but a lot of times i'm way more down with exploring the fictional toxic dynamic of an unrepentant villain absolutely obsessed with the good guy. or the hero struggling with yearning against their will for someone who's committed war crimes. idk

[ancientgrecianvampire]

you're not the only person who's okay with this

[takaraphoenix]

“My Alina”

they make me feel so unhinged and holy shit Jessie and Ben have just so much chemistry you can cut that with a knife, I can not be normal about this, about them, and this scene is absolutely everything, I thought the her making him jealous in the beginning was gonna be strong, or her taking off the kefta, but everything about their exchange?

I love the way she holds her own, the defiance in her eyes, the tension between them, the way they circle each other. MY ALINA HOW CAN I BE NORMAL ABOUT THIS???

[rhaenyrastormborn]

I am so ready for corrupted!Alina to bring Aleksander back

[cassianandfenrysaremyboyos]

The darkling who's worn black and black exclusively for hundreds of years: please put some gold in my kefta it's my wife's colour and I miss her :(

[ema-s0m01]

[ancientgrecianvampire]

i am obsessed with house of the dragon send help
