Thinking about Ragnor's last words "I will make a house for you in the Vale of your fathers. It will be beside my own. Join me there when you die. But I am no builder. So take your time. We will wait."

All im saying is that the golden son beginning quartet squad of Darrow, Victra, Tactus and Roque would be enough to send anyone into a coma. I hate Nero but him employing THAT specific amalgamation of people was lunatic behavior like the chaotic chemistry between those four has GOT to be studied. Can u imagine being on a ship with them at the academy? Id rip my fucking ears out dear god (i love all four they are peak).

[ouroborosesque]

something about augustus condemning eo to death with the phrase "hang the rusty bitch lest she continue to howl" and then darrow's freedom fighters being known as howlers… yeah i think abt that a lot

[duckiedaledeservedbetter]

My favorite genre is ensemble cast in a small town solving mysteries/fighting bad guys and navigating complex family/romantic relationships, with a healthy dose of the supernatural and a heavy sprinkle of unavoidable, profound tragedy. Yes please give me a group of weirdo kids or teens caught in the middle of a homicide investigation. Please, let every single character be funny and sad. Give me a sheriff. And a frazzled mother-figure. And an edgy high-schooler with too much eyeliner and daddy issues. Heck, a himbo, too. And the deepest, most profound friendships. Give me a baller soundtrack. Throw "I know the end" in there. Go crazy with it, add a moody cover of an 80s song. I want drama, I want comedy, I want Vibes, I want complicated relationships. I want kids riding bikes down decrepit suburban streets and fighting monsters with garden tools. I want nasty outdated high-schools that house half the narrative of the story. I want them to be doomed from the start. I wanna bawl my eyes out about it.

my controversial shadow & bone (show) opinions

Please dont hate me, I just have lots of thoughts on season 2 okay

Im sorry no shade to the actor but Patrick Gibson is not my Nikolai and he never will be. He delivers the lines from the books well enough but he looks like somebody's dad. He looks like he's forty. And his eyes dont glitter. He does not look like a puppy. He's not pretty enough. Idk it just didn't work for me.

Speaking of! I will die mad that Nikolai and Sturmhond look literally exactly the same. Like what. No. Why. Come on.

I dont like Ben Barnes. I liked him when he was prince Caspian but I dont like him as the Darkling. Some of his moments in season two were really well-acted, but again, he's too old and he just doesn't do it for me.

Book alina = loml. Show alina = annoying.

Basically I think the casting director fell flat for pretty much every character in the shadow & bone portion of the show. They went off with the crows though. Freddy carter and jack Wolfe and Danielle Galligan? Chefs kiss.

Pekka Rollins is hot.

I saw someone say that season 2 was like they took the second two grisha books and both the crows books and put them in a blender and I could not agree more. Im hoping there was some clever purpose behind the way they structured season 2 but honestly? It was a m e s s . Not that I didn't enjoy it. But still. Wtf.

THE DARKLINGS DEATH WAS SO BAD. okay so they mostly stuck to the book BUT it was over too fast and they skipped some of the best lines and honestly it didn't hit the way the book did. Don't let me be alone????

ALSO why do we not call him the Darkling? Like why not? He is the Darkling. Wtf is Kirigan? Sorry that's the Darkling. Calling him Aleksander from the beginning kinda screwed one of the most emotional points of his story.

I dont like Tamar. I love book Tamar but I dont like show Tamar. No I will not elaborate.

The little "shadow & bone" graphics at the start of every episode were tacky as fuck.

They showed too much of Kaz's backstory too soon.

Mal leaving alina in the end? Yes please give this couple some depth.

Mal becoming sturmhond? No thank you.

Also I didn't like how they skipped over so much of Mal's character in the show. What about his asshole arc? We had to read hundreds of pages of him being a massive jerk to Alina about her powers, her bond with the Darkling, her desire to save ravka, etc etc. Mal is a jerk but the show said no no he's nice he's sweet.

Totally random but I wish they weren't all British.

GIVE ME DARKLINA YOU COWARDS. Okay so y'all darklina bitches know what I'm talking about - why did they change that scene??? Darklina should've been endgame imo.

And one noncontroversial opinion: tolya is the best part of the books and the best part of the show can I get a amen

[thefartheststars]

I just read Wicked Saints and Malachiasz Czechowicz is the unequivocal love of my life and I will literally riot if he doesn’t get a happy ending.

[king-of-ashes-and-monsters]

Malachiasz Czechowicz is the living embodiment of a key smash

[shewholovesvillains]

Nadya lapteva is a monster-fucker and tbh good for her.

[your-void-senpai]

[ourlovewassummer-deactivated202]

so nobody is talking about the the fact that malachiasz has sketches of nadya in his spell book? and he snatched his book from her cuz he was all shy about it?? I mean- him? malachiasz? the black vulture? literally BLUSHING???? BECAUSE HE WAS DRAWING HER????? GOT EMBARRASSED??? y'all I need therapy, this man is too much

[king-of-ashes-and-monsters]

So much of the Maladya ship is really just:

•them kissing on bloody altars/against walls

• Malachiasz being a little eldritch terror and Nadya being like so sorry scuse me please don't shoot him that is unfortunately my eldritch terror

• Them threatening to kill each other

• Malachiasz telling Nadya that she's

powerful whenever she starts to question herself

• Towy dzmiyka and just other pet names that begin with little

• Malachiasz being so cute and concerned considering he has poisoned iron claws and bleeding eyes/teeth where they don't belong

• Malachiasz is either super soft or super creepy there's rarely any middle ground

• Knives

• One of them is usually bleeding

•yearning so much yearning

You can tell that six of crows book fans have issues because I can guarantee that when Kaz broke that inferni's arm we were all just like

THAT'S DIRTYHANDS BABY! THAT'S HOW WE HANDLE SHIT IN THE STREETS OF KETTERDAM!

[christophernolan]

There was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken.

"You and I are going to change the world"

I love the darkling but what a BITCH I cannot believe he used that line on both Zoya and Alina

I'm MAD

[cardans-tail]

No fear

The writers of the tgv Netflix show making Darkles completely evil with no personality and having nothing but lust for Alina

One fear

[alinasaleks]

just because we like the villain in the book doesn’t mean we like villains in real life calm down becky

saints get bedhead, too  decided to do a warmup sketch of my problematic fave couple lol
