How re-reading Siege and Storm ruined my memory of TGT!Nikolai

Nikolai may be cleverer and more open-minded himself, but he's no better than Alina.

He's not some long-awaited benevolent otkazat'sya setting to mend the bridges between his and Grisha, he merely ignores there are any issues to begin with.

Part of it could be excused by his sources- heavily bigoted Alina and her gang of spoiled Little Palace children, young and daring "rogues", who think in terms of "freedom" vs. "serving the Darkling"... but isn't he supposed to be perceptive?

Are there no snide remarks or open animosity in front of Grisha-loving tsarevich?! Is he simply waving them off as ordinary disdain for lower classes?

What about the pogroms? Is he naïve enough to believe such cruelty can be simply a backlash against a single deed of one (1) person? Why not react to it then? Why not bring it up, and insist on justice for the slaughtered? If only to "investigate unauthorized damage to the Crown's property"?!

(Hell, ~I~ could spin it, and I'm neither charming, nor likeable like him.)

Why is he ignoring that ALL Grisha- INCLUDING the Darkling- are legally no more than just that- items to do with however their owner- the King- pleases?!

Nikolai's blind spot regarding his family made him human. His blind spot regarding crimes of First Army makes him a hypocrite. He loves his (shitty) family. He needs First Army's support.

Between Dean and Sam: who prefers to be liked, and who prefers to be right?

there's def an argument to be made over different seasons and different ages, but generally i think there's an easy answer: dean prefers to be liked, and sam prefers to be right.

they're both pretty stubborn guys, but generally dean has the softer touch and sam has the desire to prove himself. sam also lacks dean's deep, inherent need to be loved-- he stands on his own just fine, thanks, except for when he's lying and actually needs a support beam-- but typically, if dean has his back, he's fine with making enemies and he's content not to go out of his way to get close to people. it's very sexy of him. one scene that comes to mind right now is him just hating that mandroid dude because he thinks he's stupid and ignorant, and when the guy says later in the episode that he hates him, sam's just like: "that's fair, idiot" hahaha

                                          ROYAL HOUSES                                                            of                           CROY, SOLETSKAYA & FILIPOVIC

                                  King Màtyàs Croÿ & Queen Ava Croÿ of Hungary

                                            ( Maxwell Caulfield & Donna Dixon )

Màtyàs is the first born of the late king of Hungary, he married the princess Ava of Croatia in their early twenties. The marriage while born out of love, proved to be convenient as it tied two minor royal houses of Europe together. 

                          Prince Benedek Croÿ & Princess Aniela Croÿ of Hungary

                                              ( Richard Burgi & Connie Nielsen )

Benedek is the second son of the late king of Hungary, his wife Aniela hails from Poland. The daughter of a Polish nobleman was perhaps just slightly below the prince’s stature but not a bad match at all. Aniela found her footing at the Hungarian court with ease. 

                  Queen Ivana Filipovic & Prince consort David Filipovic of Croatia

                                          ( Julianne Margulies & Denzel Washington )

Queen Ivana watched her sister move to a foreign country with an impossible language and an unfriendly atmosphere... then she started preparing for the time the Croatian crown would be placed on top of her head. She found love by accident as her path crossed with David’s, a young prince from Western Africa. Iris, who in the very beginning was the queen’s pride and joy, was born soon after the wedding.

                                    King Maksim Soletsky & Queen Gizella Soletskaya

                                        ( Mikael Persbrandt & Rebecca de Mornay )

Queen Gizella of Ukraine, formerly known as princess Gizella of Hungary. Gizella’s grandfather was the king of Hungary before her cousin Màtyàs inherited the throne. What she remembers from her youth are the hot summer evenings, the sharp smell of meat, and the seemingly endless meadows of Northern Hungary. 

In the small collage you can see Soletsmama in B&W, next to her picture Benedek! The two middle pictures of a woman are Ava, the small polaroid and right bottom pictures are of papa Croÿ, while the woman with the hairdo is once more Soletsmama.
