Aspiring Blair Waldorf

a collection of stuff I find amusing in one place (basically a nikolai lantsov/grishaverse blog at the moment)

NIKOLAI NATION ARE WE READY!!!!!!

to potentially be disappointed if leigh gives us a title and cover not about nikolai lantsov the protagonist of the nikolai duology :))))))))))))))

[sturmhondstark]

ok but also why is leigh adding another perspective why cant it just be 500 pages of nikolai POV like that’s what we really want

[ionlylikemycat]

i want more firelord zuko content

i want zuko sneaks down into the capitol, not to spy, not to make a scene, just to be near his people and see for himself how the changes he makes in the palace are affecting his citizens

i want zuko who visits the same pub every time and maybe the old bartender who’s father used to work in the palace recognizes him and doesn’t say a word

or maybe it’s the soldier who’s face is young and his eyes weary who’d seen the young prince on a balcony once before but stays silent because he’s there to drink alone and forget and what does it matter if some royal is tucked in the corner

i want zuko who misses the anonymity he had before when he was the banished prince. who just wants a few nights without table manners and stuffy nobles in heavy robes talking circles around him

more firelord zuko who treats every member of his household staff with the utmost respect. at first they’re wary of him, he doesn’t hold it against them- azula and ozai are frightening people.

so he’s patient. kind. he learns everyone’s name, and as the months and years go on he asks more about their lives. he knows he could demand and they’d tell him anything he wants to know. but this is zuko, he wants people to feel safe in this place (a place that was so often unsafe for him, he wants to bring life back into the palace) so he goes slow, never pushes. if they mention a child he asks their names, remembers them; when one of his serving staff mentions his son is sick zuko insists he take time to be with his child. the man thinks he’s being fired until zuko says he always wished to have his parents when he was sick. the mans job would be waiting for him when his son is well

i just want more firelord zuko content. more of my boy caring for his people long after the war is over. helping an entire nation heal and find peace, as well as dealing with the geopolitical aftermath of being the aggressor for 100 years of conflict.

this baby inherits a fucked up nation, and turns it into a prosperous and lively nation. he brings art and culture and joy for joys sake back into the fire nation. i want to see more of that, of the amazing man zuko became.

fire lord zuko and nikolai lantsov king of ravka content let’s talk about that for a minute

[sturmhondstark]

“I lost someone I cared about. He didn’t die, he just went away. I only had a few days to get to know him, but he was smart and brave and funny…” “Who is this guy? Is he taller than me?”

Jamshid deserves a happy ending in The Empire of Gold, I love him so much

[astreiants-archive]

I’m sorry, but I can’t. Not anymore. I told you when you got married.

Expectation:

vs reality:

It turns out Muntadhir’s third combat skill is being brave and also really annoying.

[sturmhondstark]

nothing is funnier than muntadhir literally dying and using his final breaths to lie about the crazy wedding night he didn’t have JUST to spite an immortal being who could melt his bones how y’all sleeping on this KING

[sturmhondstark]

the tiny daevabad trilogy fandom gushing over dara even though he’s been horrible to nahri and completely sleeping on muntadhir and jamshid is giving me early s&b fandom energy when everyone loved mal and ignored nikolai who was the true star of the series i can’t do this again

[sturmhondstark]

still love dara as a character he’s so interesting and he’s so well done and complex but after KoC i don’t see a future for dara and nahri, too much has been done

[sturmhondstark]

When it comes to recovering from the untimely death of your older brother,  the scale starts with Nikolai Lantsov and ends with Kaz Brekker 

[whiterubys]
