are u a cult or not confirm / deny 🤔🤔🤔

hi anon! we’re just a group of grishaverse fans who, while not necessarily supporting some of the darkling’s problematic actions, banded together because of some of our mutual opinions about the pros/cons of alarkling and tgt/soc/kos.

so no, we are not a cult explicitly dedicated to worshipping the darkling as the cult of the starless saint is in the books, but we do offer members a safe place to rant and talk about alina/the darkling/alarkling without being attacked for their opinions.

not all of us are defined alarkling shippers (although some are, ofc). in fact, one of our mods prefers alina to be alone and not with anyone. however, we named ourselves cultofthestarless because it seems even the people who slightly like the darkling or alarkling are attacked by the fandom. i (the moderator mentioned above), if given an ask “malina or darklina,” would choose neither. however, this grishaverse discord chat gives me a place to talk about my opinions without having to monitor every single word i type because of potential backlash.

if you do define “cult” as a system of devotion towards a particular topic, then we are technically a “cult” for grishaverse books.

Anyone find cults intriguing? ⁣ I love reading about cults & wondering how people get sucked into them. & then I realised, I would probably be one of those people if The Darkling was real haha #cultofthestarless ⁣ How gorgeous is this Cult of the Starless mug!! 😍😍 Thanks to @jessjadedesigns for the amazing design 😘😘 ⁣ ⇩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 16: 𝘐 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴—𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦. #wickwednesday #ausbookishphotochallenge ⁣ ⇧⠀⠀ ⁣ ⁣ #bookstagram #ausbookishfeatures #ausyabloggers #readersofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #booklove #allthebooks #justread #australiaisreading #bookishlove #bookcommunity #fortheloveofbooks #nightowlreaders #aussiebookstagrammer #cosyreads #alwaysreading #bibliofeature #bookaestetics . https://www.instagram.com/p/CFMbHS2gsMn/?igshid=13lyqu7vldw5w
