"You need me." "You need me."
“Promise me, Nikolai, that you will survive this battle. One of us has to.”
Nikolai: Why are you so mean?
Alina: Because I’m small and small people are closer to hell.
Nikolai: *Gulps*
*(also sighs in relief because it means he’s further from hell)*
alina: “you’re amazing, you’re handsome, you’re smart, you’re kind, you can have everything in this world, the person you'll end up marrying is gonna be very lucky—”
nikolai: “then be lucky”
Nikolai and Alina bonding over their shared imposter syndrome means everything to me actually.
“You just ship Nikolina because you like Nikolai and you self-insert yourself to Alina” WRONG if anything I ‘self-insert’ myself to Nikolai because that man ain’t letting goooo
“It’s not too late. You could stay. You could come back with me to the Grand Palace.”
“Teach, help me rebuild the Second Army, rusticate by the lake?”
“You could stay with me. I still need a Queen.”
Begging her to be his ally, his friend, his wife, his Queen, and in the last minute before her departure, he settled with friends because being her friend is at least better than being nothing at all.
And the fact that he still can’t get over her even years after the rejection(s).
(Not to mention making Jessie Mei Li playing her omg. That’s like the most remarkable woman of course I’m shooting my shot(s) man.)
i’ve been thinking/that’s dangerous (nikolina)
I.
alina: [serious, a little tentative] “so, i’ve been thinking”
nikolai: [definitely teasing, quietly supporting] “that’s dangerous”
-
II.
nikolai: [scheming, secretly trusting bcs well, it’s alina and he trusts her] “so, i’ve been thinking”
alina: [deadpan, a little grumpy bcs it IS going to be extravagant] “that’s dangerous”
alina: “i swear on my life”
nikolai: “girl you suicidal swear on something else”
alina: “on your life”
nikolai: “i’m suicidal too”
Beneath my hand, his heart beat - steady and human.
I'm so sorry, Nikolai
nikolai and alina are so powerful together omg both are piners, both are hopeless romantics, both are people pleasers, both hold love deeper than mariana trench despite their conditions, both sunshines.
[on second thought i think nikolai is a sunshine forced to be midnight rain while alina is a midnight rain forced to be sunshine but point still stands they are kind of like two sides of the same coin.]
It's Sobachka's turn!
Nikolai is my other half's other fave character, other than Aleksandr -- and honestly, a far better third part of a love triangle with Darklina imo. Darknikolina can be fun <3 Anyhoo, some of these have a Nikolina-y flavour, but in the wry sort of way that my Alina muse relates to him :)
More Darklina memes soon -- promise!
Tired of the "not everything is about romance" or "platonic relationships are important too" arguments because yes, platonic relationships are important, but stop forcing people to just like platonic relationships and don't like romance.
You want platonic relationships? Then you write fics or draw fanarts of the platonic relationships you like. But if someone decides to ship two characters because they like their chemistry and want them together together, let them do it. Just because you are tired of romance doesn't mean everyone has to be. And you can't force them to be tired of it.
never seen a ship name as pretty as nikolai and alina bc wdym their name when fused becomes nikolina? like it’s just so pretty. and they both only lose one alphabet from their name on that fusion, both being the alphabet “a.” oh and when you fuse their surnames, it becomes either lantkov or starsov and it still sounds similar to their own surnames and idk but ARGHHH
