I need you to share your fave Darklina quotes 🥺🥺🥺🥵🥵🥵
Oh man Hayf what a fun ask 🥲
Okay but I have so many:
"I had a taste for you, once." - Because of the sexiness, the unexpectedness, the way that Alina messes with him.
"They were all my monsters, all of them. And he was my monster, too." - It's the acceptance of their connection, the way she knows deep down she wants him in spite of everything he's done and everything he is. It's the toxic, manipulative, and extremely hot kiss they share right after this 🥵
"The problem with wanting is that it makes us weak." - She is his weakness and we love to see it!!! The romance the yearning the bitterness inherent in the fact that he wants to use her power and betray her, but he caught feelings!!!!!
"Why won't you leave me alone?"
"Then I'd be alone, too." - ouch.gif 🥺
"I've seen what you truly are, and I've never turned away. I never will." - I'm sorry, but it's the way that Aleksander--who is emotionally repressed as all hell and allergic to commitment and loyalty after centuries of betrayals--says "I love you." It's doubly significant since at this point in the story she feels rejected by Mal because of her powers.
"Aleksander," I whispered. A boy's name, given up. Almost forgotten. - Mainly because I love pain. And also because THIS is the way Alina says "I love you" to the man who she could never admit to loving after everything he'd done. But who she knew had goodness in him. She knew what his name meant. The intimacy and trust involved in sharing it with her. What it meant to him for her to say it. So she honored him when no one else could or would. The last thing Alina Starkov says in the Grisha Trilogy is HIS name and no one can take that away from me 😭😭😭
