Also, stickers or prints anyone?
“he never hurt her.”
the darkling is one of my favourite characters of all time but you’ve got an absolutely delusional take on the darkling if you think he never hurt alina lmfao
what he did to genya, ana kuya, botkin, and even the way he collared her and absolutely destroyed her. he absolutely hurt her by holding her loved ones over her head like pieces of meat to be ransomed. cmon now
I don’t know how to explain it better but I meant in a more physical sense? Genya, Botkin, Baghra came from a place of betrayal not directly about Alina. But Ana Kuya and the collar were personal, I know. I meant like torturing her to the point she’d succumb or imprison her, not just morally and use her like a tool when needed and not make her a queen. I’m not saying that fucker isn’t evil as shit, but he always took the ‘I’ll convince you. By blackmail most likely.” Rather than “I’ll beat this thing out of you” way with Alina. Rare. You get what I mean? He saw her as equal and the point that I was trying to make here was that-
The Darkling maybe an ancient evil piece of shit but he has a vice. All of this gives Alina some power over him.
This was not meant to paint him in a good light, it was supposed imply that^. But thank you for pointing it out. I see what you meant and you’re absolutely right.
THE DARKLING: Why he deserved better- an essay
(Warning: Grishaverse trilogy spoilers. Don’t read if you haven’t read the books or even watched the show)
The Darkling died in the end (of the trilogy, not KOS & ROW): Fine. BUT I wished so bad he had someone who could tell him, “I see you, your feelings are valid. You have the right to be angry but you’re safe now. You can let the guards down.” I MEAN?? It isn’t so difficult, is it? He had an unloving, insensitive mother- emotionally absent and overexpectant, just look at how she teaches for example (I absolutely love Baghra, don’t misunderstand me). No dad in picture because it was her mother’s choice but it still leaves a cavity in someone’s life. Childhood plays a huge role in building someone’s personality/life long psychological state. Half of the time he had to live in fear and fight for his life and the ones he loved for just being different and half the time he was feared so much that even when anyone came close, they had ulterior motives.
Alina as a character was kind and self sacrificing but- and fight me all you want- she had a number of instances where she could’ve convinced Aleks that the fight is over. If he does any more then there won’t be any difference between him and the people that hurt him. She didn’t have to go marry him, but she could’ve been a friend. I don’t think people understand the significance of the line, “Fine, make me your villain.” Because it’s so easy to make him your villain, so easy to put it all on him- as humanity always does- if you can’t solve the problem, find someone to blame.
One of the most frustrating things when it comes to Alina is that she sees things, she can read between the lines but she always chooses the easy way out. Be it talking and sorting shit out with Mal, offering someone comfort, or all those times when she saw the hurting boy in Alexander.
He just wanted to be loved, to be understood, to be seen. He wasn’t hungry for power. He was yearning for respect, loyalty, safety and most of all love. He wanted the Ravkans to love him. To just have anyone to love him even, just one person. And that could’ve been Alina. Not that she was obliged to do anything, but she had the same power in terms of rarity, she had the same-ish struggles of being different, same eternity to live. There could’ve been people he loved in his backstory but none of them could hold on for eternity even in the best case scenarios.
So, if Alina can be attracted to him and have all those feelings, she could’ve been understanding and supportive too. If she couldn’t stop herself from reaching him telepathically or be angry at him or cry in front of him while HE held her- she could’ve made at least ONE attempt.
Alexander wasn’t making Alina a monster, it was her own conscience. Because there were various other factors who were also stopping her from succumbing to the darkness but Aleks had none. She could’ve helped heal him. ESPECIALLY, when he said things like, “You might make me a better man” so many times. Don’t you dare tell me there wasn’t hope for him. Alina may have all the circumstances and power to do it, but basically as person she was unfit for this and that’s the tragedy. All that hope finally after centuries of wait but in wrong hands. (I’m just saying she couldn’t live up to it. At the core, she didn’t have what it took, maybe she was too young with too much on her plate. I still adore her because when we love, we love them with their flaws as the Darkling should have been)
And the show stopper, Aleks did have kind in him because till the end he was there for Grishas despite his evil (like when he bluffed about putting the Grisha children in danger but obviously didn’t and wouldn’t do it) but Alina had darkness in her always because she would always sabotage anything or anyone as long as it meant Mal’s safety (for instance, when Aleks expanded the fold and she abandoned the skiff for Mal). What’s the difference between their morals then? If the power hadn’t been scattered from her, I bet you she would’ve been the next big bad villain. (Not that I wanted her power gone)
What affects me the most is that despite everything, whatever Alina could’ve done for Alexander, HE did it for her (in his twisted way sometimes). He told her he understood her, he told her he saw her, he held her when she cried, he gave that unconditional love and support because however it may have looked on the surface- he never hurt Alina. Physically at least. He did a number of absolutely horrible things, most of coming from a place of payback for betrayal.
(Also, you can sense I have a huge issue with ever loved and all cherished protagonists who are victims of circumstances- all kind and selfless and martyrs- but I can see they are just as flawed. Personally, Alina’s fine though, because she’s real. That’s human, that’s what could’ve happened. I’m just acknowledging the parts of her that are easy to overlook. Because again- as humans, as much as we want to blame someone to make things easy, we also put people on pedestals and all our problems on them expecting them to be the saviour.)
Alternate ending to the Grisha Trilogy
Alina: *being super annoyed with all the guys pushing and pulling*
Alina: *pointing to Mal* You may be my childhood friend and I may have been in love with you for the longest time, but basically, your whining sucks and you are irritating as hell. I am who I am and if you don't like it, fuck off!
Alina: *turning to Nikolai* I like you, you're a great friend, and you're ridiculously attractive, but I refuse to be a trophy wife. Get some other dumb bitch to marry. *throws the ring into his face*
Alina: *closing in on Aleksander, outraged expression on her face*
Aleksander: *backs away*
Alina: *staring up into his face* You might be the only person who really gets me and possibly the love of my life, but your attitude SUCKS, as does your outlook on life. Get a grip!
Alina: *turns around, storms into the Fold, destroys the fucking thing on her own, shouts* You're welcome, now leave me the fuck alone!!! *and rides off on the Firebird into the sunset*
Mal, Nikolai and Aleksander: *stare after her, gaping*
Wisdom from the mouth of Nikolai Lantsov
The less you say, the more weight your words will carry.
Don’t argue. Never deign to deny. Meet insults with laughter.
Weakness is a guise. Wear it when they need to know you’re human, but never when you feel it.
Don’t wish for bricks when you can build from stone. Use whatever or whoever is in front of you.
Being a leader means someone is always watching you.
Get them to follow the little orders, and they’ll follow the big ones.
It’s okay to flout expectations, but never disappoint them.
Pauper or prince, every man can be bought.
Scars made good reminders.

Okay but Anya Chalotra

character sheet. I changed the surname and also introducing her full name, both of which will make more sense culture-wise.
Me: *reads fan-fiction so I can feel the love and affection that I’m not getting*
Ummmm
