||@im-evaporating's writing and reading blog||
-I love to read (mostly fiction)
-I'm a writer, but you could never tell because I never write
-aspiring author(fiction)
-fanfiction writer
-I like writing essays
-my favourite characters are, most of the time, hated by the fandom or controversial, so take what that says about me
I love yapping and providing unpopular opinions : D
girl hates booktok famous books
girl's feed gets taken over by edits of a tv adaptation of a booktok famous book
girl tries reading the book and is cringed out by the blurb
girl decides to watch the show
girl likes the show
girl thinks that you should not judge a book by the cover, and that includes the blurb
girl reads a few pages and likes it
the most unrealistic part of project hail mary is all the world leaders agreeing on anything at all or even caring about impending doom in 30 years
the way the books just go on and on and on about how unbelievable attractive Mal is, you'd think they'd remember to give him the pretty priviledge he canonically has in the show too instead of handing it over to The Darkling....
"Handing it over to the Darkling" as if his beauty wasn't so canonically unearthly. Believe me, this side of the fandom deserved more than Ben Barnes, actually.
Alina constantly talked about the Darkling being beautiful and described his eyes/hair/jawline in very flattering terms throughout the series.
Book!Mal, however, didn't give off any lively and sociable vibes to me. He only gave off the stench of unwashed socks. I always wrote the talks of his alleged hotness off to Alina being delulu. Which is canonically not a stretch in the slightest.
I'm sorry it might be my wording but In no way did I say that the darkling wasnt attractive in the books what. I am on this side of the fandom too.
By handing it over I just meant that they gave him Mal's canonical share of pretty privilege as well because Mal looks very normal in the show and the Darkling outmatches literally everyone else. My bad on the lack of clarification.
I'm just on book 2 so that could be it but up until now he is canonically lively and sociable though. In the military he had good friends and everyone liked him. He was on good terms with the people on the ship they went to Novyi Zem with. He made friends during the time they were at Novyi Zem. He took half a day before he got friendly with Nikolai. Idk looking at Alina who was right there, that sounds pretty sociable to me.
Also he's been evidently proved to be attractive so many times through the books. Alina wasn’t just going "oh he's so hot" girl was whining about how people wanted to get close to her just to get to Mal, A chick at Novyi Zem catcalled him while his girl was literally right there, and Tamar literally told Alina that Mal is hot during the first convo they had. Mal is very conventionally attractive in the books and if you think that's Alina's delulu then she's also delulu about the Darkling being hot and that seems very unlikely.
the way the books just go on and on and on about how unbelievable attractive Mal is, you'd think they'd remember to give him the pretty priviledge he canonically has in the show too instead of handing it over to The Darkling....
me: spiraling into existential dread, convinced I'm just wasting oxygen.
also me, the second I find a book that hijacks my entire brain chemistry: oh so this is what I'm supposed to feel alive for? maybe life is worth living if it means I get to feel this unhinged about fictional people
Men are such simple creatures lol
What even is this parallel omg😭😭😭😭 Mal darling why would you say you want to marry Alina after Ana Kuya calls a wife the equivalent of a donkey😀
This is so sad what. Even though Mal obv isnt like that man, Alina still has to carry the huuugee burden of her powers alone while It's easy for Mal since he's naturally capable. Poor alina :(
i always thought it was like a playful thing yk like Mal calling alina a donkey idk as a joke😭😭😭
It's like really cute but considering their circumstances and the symbolism at this point in time it made me go :(
Meme idea: the Darkling's motives captioned "close enough, welcome back Eren Yeager."
LMAOOO OMG YOURE RIGHT AIFKMKEF
I started Siege and Storm :D THEY GET CAUGHT HALFWAY THROUGH THE FIRST CHAPTER.
W H A T. They had like 3 chapters in the first book before shit went down in the first book. Which is understandable considering its the first book but..they could've just. idk. had one chapter of quiet.😭😭
Also Alina seems miserable. Girlie is giving me villain origin story vibes. If this was not a YA I'd think that Alina is having the biggest hero to villain arc. She thinks exactly like the Darkling.
andandand Mal and Alina in love :DDD SOOO CUTEEE. The first book started with Alina watching Mal go after another girl and the second book starts with Mal turning down a hoe to turn a corner and kiss her. They've grown :333
And wtf is going on with the darkling. What are those things. His men scared of him...is he turning them into Volcra? Girl I love him (read Demon in the woods too, will yap about it) but. uh. what. It's so sad to see what's become of him. You can even understand and rationalize his motives but his ways are so evil and cruel. He was always going to become irredeemable.
i love your analysis sm makes me want to reread the books but ah my ass is so lazy
yesyes darkling does become irredeemable but you can always always rationalize him, i esp love like the final big fight with himm
Why do people hate Mal :(
Really good question, I would also like to know this
For what it's worth, Mal is one of my favourites and I'm very happy when he's on page : D
I couldn't help but imagine Portia as Genya while reading shadow and bone. They're very similar in behaviour, she's the countess's servant too except her countess is good and nice and she is loyal to her. She even has russian descent too, probably. I can't help but imagine Genya in her face in my head.
guess who finished the first book :333
There was sm murder near the end, I could barely process it. I HATED the Darkling when he killed the whole fucking village and tried to leave Mal to die. He's so so so horrible but so well written I can't help but love him.
I felt so sad when Alina was forced to kill all those people. Poor baby. She was so helpless when Mal was dying. I was a bit annoyed at her until that chapter but in the end she's just a 17 year old orphan who never belonged. She's changed so much and gone through so much in the book.
It's very eery to think of the way she is slowly becoming more and more like the Darkling. He knew what he was talking about. He's lived enough to know her fate.
And Malina omg. The things they've done for each other??? I am not normal about them. From what I've gathered from random scrolls in pinterest and tumblr, people hate them together :(( Well. When was I on the more popular side of fandoms anyway. It's an integral part of my existence. They are beautiful. They are NOTHING without each other. I love codependency. I live for codependency.
also what I've gathered is that Mal is supposedly bland. wdym bro I think he's so fucking cool. He's accomplished what even Baghra, an woman who's lived for many many centuries didn't think was possible. I know damn well there's more to his talent than just talent. He's abandoned a very good life just for Alina. He nearly died for Alina. He's funny and traumatized and skilled at what he does and he loves his girl to death. What else do people even want. Guilt of mass murder like a certain someone?
for some reason, i feel like i responded to this? idk what happened man im sure i responded to this, sorry
yeah anyways so. Yeah, Darkling and Alina are similar in a way they'll never be able to get rid off lol
and right?? i liked mal's character but i think people feel head over heels for Darkling to notice lol.
they are beautiful yes.
look im trying very hard not to spoil stuff for you even though i want to lool
Why do people hate Mal :(
I read the big reveal last night..well. Wow. He's evil folks. I knew this was what was coming up but wow. He's been alive for hundreds of years. He's a manipulative liar.
The volcra being people was...disturbing. Wow.
But you know what? I don’t even think the darkling is wrong to want to overthrow the idiot king. Just the world conquering part is concerning.
And...the age gap between him and Alina made them nearly hooking up a litttleee...you know...problematic.
honestly, if a character is immortal/alive for hundreds of years, in my head, i just assume that if the character is like old enough its good enough
that being said i dont remember alina's age though
btw, the third duology in this world is king of scars and rule of wolves. which is about the idiot king. well, you'll know what i mean one day. those books, while maybe the least fav of mine in this world, were reallly nice too
That's what I think so too but like he was basically kind of grooming her (into eventually being a slave) with his affections so. Y'know.
She's 17
Why were they the least favourite
fair, but i lowkey also think Darkling did really like Alina because well. think about it, this guy has be been alive for hundreds of years. And Alina is the one who is the most similar to him, yk?
yes still manipulative obv, im not denying that, but maybe it was the only way he remembered to show love lol
or im just projecting very hard
Well that is true, I think the reason the Darkling got so pissed at himself for wanting her is because he didn't want to get feelings involved, didn't want to see her as anything but an extension of his power, but he started and he hated that that.
i feel like we should never write a story together btw
LMAOOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN
i think we bounce off of each other far too nicely. I think if we wrote a book together it'd end the world our powers would be unstoppable together
girl all I'm hearing is that we need to write a book together
angst.
so much angst
Hurt no comfort
Slow burn
