“not everything is gay 🙄” um it is TO ME piss off
rich, can't-see-his-privilege, upper class but also a little rebellious city boy x countryside scholarship student, rough around the edges and completely devoted to his best friend
is now my favorite ship trope
"I present Nikolai Lantsov" // inspired.
BONUS:
just got a comment, and I blocked the person bc i dont feel like dealing with "the darkling's sooo great!!! best guy in the world hes never manipulated anyonee!! and mal sucks and should die forever" type things right now, but I will say the comment had a "well if the Darkling's bad because of that then Nikolai is too!! and so is his boyfriend Mal!" and im sure it was a typo but i like to imagine that that person's stance is "Mal and Nikolai are both bad and awful but also they are together. Evil Horrible Couple."
like okay sure I guess???
Zoya: “This is my husband, Nikolai.”
Nikolai: “Hello!”
Zoya: “And this is his boyfriend, Mal.”
Mal: “Hi.”
Zoya: “And this is his wife, Alina.”
Alina: “Nice to meet you.”
Zoya: “And this is Alina and I’s girlfriend, Genya.”
Genya: “Hi!”
Zoya: “And this is Genya’s husband, David.”
David: “How do you do?”
Nina: “Guys I was only gone for one year! What the fuck happened?!”
Entitled chauvinistic swine
Reading Malyen's simple-minded, dim POV reminds me of that one dream I saw through the eyes of such a prick, he pissed me off into realization I'm not him, then I forced myself to wake up.
Yeah, let's shoot something!
Violence is always the answer!
(How manly!)
What an entitled idiot riddled with hero complex ten times over.
"He" obviously cut Alina for his own enjoyment, no other purpose whatsoever, than to make poor, poor Alina bleed!
I'm sure the gash was so gruesome she almost died right there on the spot. A fountain of red and boom- the Sun Summoner is just a corpse kept around by the eeevhul Darkling for his dubious practices!
(Yay! Necrophilia! Must run in the family... *glares at the ending of R&R*)
How many times have I failed to stop him? Where was this protective instinct when he let Alina get beaten up in his stead?! I'm sure it developed with age...
Me, me, me...
I felt sure there would be a letter waiting for me... sent to an unmarked location in the middle of the wasteland by borders?
Hopeful? Why not, but sure?!
Your personal correspondence doesn't matter, honey. You're a soldier serving a country at war.
On WHOSE authority?!
Who are you to even ask you bare-assed nobody?!
I was talking to one of the Grisha... They're just a faceless, interchangeable mass to him. I'm surprised he "remembers" the name.
I asked if she'd had any real news... As if they were a hive mind. Not separate people with different purpose, stationed in different places.
I'm also curious if this is really what she said or what he did. The request doesn't quite fit the answer. Gods, what an idiot! Approaching a high-ranking officer from completely different branch of the army to pass his personal message on... What does he think she is?! His private postwoman?!
He can't even muster "a friend" or "a girl I grew up with". Nope. His unrequited feelings so difficult to swallow he forgets how to speak.
This is just pathetic. As if the whole world were his own private one-man show.
The oh-so-resigned act is also quite something to behold. *dripping with sarcasm*
LOL
Yeah, sure... we'll see plenty of that.
Again- WHERE?!
Repeating it won't make it so.
THE DRAAAMA!!!
Don't forget to mention you wouldn't hesitate to DIE for her IN THE MOST DRAMATIC WAY POSSIBLE.
I don't think I've read anything like this before... *glimpses above*
What exactly does he think he'd find in Grand Palace? He keeps forgetting Alina's Grisha now, so she wouldn't be there.
How selfless...
Look Alina, what I'm willing to brave FOR YOU!!!
Call me a good boy!
I'm glad I won't be going alone. Yeah, I'm sure you would've been...
I can hardly picture three men dragging a living wild animal over enemy borders, I'm sure Mal would manage by himself. How valiant!
Funny how he believes Alina's the Darkling's prisoner submitted to his twisted sadistic desires, yet upon hearing a speculation the Stag might be intended for Alina, he rushes to obtain it.
You bigoted halfwit, if the Darkling truly somehow tortured Alina, he wouldn't use the animal for anything good, would he?! (I'd pay for an AU, where he'd Cassie Boyle'd* Alina to conquer the Fold.) But hey, to figure that out, Mal would have to use his brain and avoid showing off.
*
He also writes shitty poetry?!
Like Nikolai?!
OMG, I might even start to see the common ground for that ship to work!
One thing needs to be said- no matter how excruciating to read, the letter certainly reads like something that shitstain would write and how would he think of himself. If this was supposed to be a torn hero, congrats on another total failure.
i’ve decided it. malkolai and zoyalina are now canon, thank you !
