HOLY SHIT, IT WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE
MAKE A WISH
the first post ever on tumblr
I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE A REMAKE OF SOME SORT HOLY FUCK
WHO THE FUCK KEEPS BRINGING THIS BACK
reblog this because it shows up every blue moon
I FOUND IT ✊
I WAS SO SCARED IT WOULDNT BE THE ORIGINAL
Who first posted this?
At least he acknowledged they are adorable.
Sadly that's how people who have problematic ships always work, they'll do all the mental gymnastics necessary to defend their ship even though in reality they know that ship is toxic. I'm looking forward to enjoying the show but I'm going to hate all the discourse, thank fuck for the unfollow and block options.
it's so funny to me how they will go out of their way to defend this stupid ship by coming up with the most random shit ever just to deflect our attention from the actual problem. "leigh said that he's not her love intrest but that is morally wrong of her to say because they make out multiple times?? she's still attracted to him !!!111!!!" like babe what?? this is a seventeen year old teenager who's trapped in an abusive relationship to a point where she has to risk her own life n flee from him just so he won't be able to manipulate her any further and use her powers to commit a genocide. how is he in any way supposed to be her love intrest??😭😭
what english lessons did darklina stans miss when they discussed the difference between story and narrative? alina could have kissed him hundreds of times and leight would still be right about the fact that she never romanticized his actions because the narrative made clear that he's an abuser. periodt. to twist this situation into anything else just shows that u support abusive relationships and will give abusers the benefit of the doubt any time as long as the relationships they have appears to be romantic.
back with not one but two hot takes today! saw a post on my dash about midsommar & how it seems like a slightly fucked-up girl power movie on the surface to some people. but should be viewed more as a litmus test for how susceptible you are to cult indoctrination tactics disguised as #feminism or other progressive ideologies. (i really recommend reading the post as well as some of the reblogs!)
anyways. i noticed how much of this is applicable to darkling/darklina stans. because those who view the darkling’s lines as romantic are falling prey to the point: the darkling as a whole is engineered to seem romantic, but only at first. we’re supposed to go wary of him -> in awe of him -> idolizing him -> realizing something’s fishy abt him -> wary of him again -> denouncing him, but so many people got stuck on idolizing.
& it scares me the way that some of you defend him because it sounds so much like the way people discredit abuse survivors. pulling out unrelated strawmen like “he’s immortal” or “he’s literally not human”, as if that’s not part of this abusive power dynamic in the first place. “oh but it’s just fiction” is even worse, because if you can’t even recognize this textbook definition of abuse & exploitation, then how are you going to support and uplift abuse survivors in real life?
like, the darkling is a litmus test just like midsommar is. if you find his lines to be romantic—as they’re specifically engineered to seem romantic while creating an unhealthy power imbalance—then maybe you’re so easily susceptible to that rhetoric. or maybe you won’t fall for it yourself, but you still lack the critical thinking skills to recognize when it happens to someone else.
in fact, you’ll defend the abuser over the victim in real life, just like you do here on tumblr.
my hot take on mal and why hes wonderful and why malina is the proper coupling (and im gonna shit on darkling/darklina for a bit)
*these might not be new thoughts but i want to express my love for mal and malina (and i just finished the books like a few hours ago so my brain is on fire) there was so much mal slander on the malina tags and i wanted to throw in my 2 cents!!*
- mal literally had nobody. this kid is a literal orphan! i love that he figured out what to fight for and kept his head in the game. i am a sucker for characters who needs to fight to get anywhere in life. he was gifted the tracking skill and befriending alina and thats it. characters like him have grit and a personality that makes them tough and fearless and i am always going to root for their happy endings
- this poor man has to face these super powerful beings without powers. its hella intimidating to be just regular while being surrounded by folks who can blast light, manipulate winds and waters and fabricate things from nothing. he worked with what he got and that was tracking and being physically fit to fight and i fucken applaud that!!!
- he never got in alina's way. i think whats tragic is that he internalized how much of a "low born"/"nobody" he was and saw that alina was destined for so much more and he made sure he was useful at all times. at the beginning of seige and storm, it felt like mal was hindering alina because she couldnt use her powers and that made her feel like complete shit (i wasn't team mal at that moment but what else were they suppose to do. darkling was worse tbh!!)
- he's just a kid. hes struggling! i was sad when it was confirmed that he and zoya were a thing for a bit (and has been with other girls) but thats just being a teen in a war torn society (and also hyping him up to be desirable for the audience)
- even his maturity is very much in line with him being a kid and trying to navigate being a soldier and then having to shifting his entire purpose to aligning with just alina. he was suppose to just be a soldier, and die honorably depending whos attacking who. but he rejected his training/soldier mindset and found alina because he knew she needed him! he could have died soooo many times, he lost friends but he had to roll with the punches the entire time. and again, this man got nothing going for him! just his love for alina!
- i dont think YA books appreciate the boys without power; those who aren't royalty and aren't born with wealth and poise. mal had to learn to survive at an early age and that includes learning to be likeable and social, being a skilled soldier, and tracker (but that was a gift). i love that alina also started out in a shitty position but she also learned her power and voice.
- mal lets alina be herself! I love female protagonists who are ambitious and want to stay in power but for alina, i like that she wants the ordinary things. she wants a normal life that isn't full of explosion, talk of war or politics or grand dresses. mal let her be goofy and let her be childlike-- see their banter, see their mischiefs growing up. darkling and nikolai needed her to be a summonor/weapon and a queen/leader. they demanded her to use her powers and be a face that decorated their arms; they demanded her to be this surreal being that hordes of people will follow. she has to be regal; has to be poised and laugh and smile on command; be an intimidating figure especially in this war torn country.
- mal wanted alina because she's his best friend! thats it! my favorite moment (and ended up being the sad moment) was in ruin and rising when there was a meteor shower and nikolai found alina first and them walking together arm-in-arm to go see it. mal, with a big smile on his face, was rushing to her to tell her about the shower but stopped short when he saw them together. in that paragraph, alina talked about how mal always ran to her when something that made him happy happens (ugh my sappy heart!!!)
- grishas are the marginalized group and face horrendous torture and systematic prejudges and ravka should have been a place they could feel safe. i like that darkling was fighting for them...but it falls apart when it seems he was hell bent on making sure alina fall in line. he could be that radical; thats fine but he was so obsessed with alina; he was manipulative !!
- i know we're suppose to sympathize with him because he grew up filled with hatred from his mom, grew up in a society that hates people like him and at its core, hes just a lonely boy where nobody understands him because hes soooo powerful and can live 5ever and only alina could understand him because her power measures up to him. but heres the thing, just learn to be a good person wtf??? also he had his mom???? he had someone???? also learn to make friends?? mal fucken did it and he got nobody. learn to build ships??? like nikolai who is an outcast in his own family. (im harsh to characters that live forever and refuse to budge from their original notion about the world. because u spent all that time being alive and not do a thing about that??)
- darkling just latched onto alina for her power. and he is demanding her to be his partner without understanding her and what she needs. he flirts w her, seduces her and plays her so he can be the ultimate powerful figure to lead ravka--so his goal stopped being saving grisha and demanding things from people. ugh how can anybody ship darkling and alina???
- at no point would it feel balanced if alina and darkling were a thing because alina will constantly play catch up. she will always feel like she has to be an adult and has to be this face for the people to follow. she could live with him forever and what?? learn to love him??? i guess??? doing what?? controlling ravka forever???
- anyways i love mal. i dont think hes boring. while browsing the tag for s&b and malina, it was just filled with mal slander! and this is my response to some of the hate. he's literally trying his goddamn best; he literally has no power and has to learn to defend himself the best he can. he is the type of character that has to fight for his survival, fight for his worth and fight for his love!!!! whats not to like???
