“I want to kiss you,” Nikolai said. “But I won’t. Not until you’re thinking of me instead of trying to forget him.”

I really think Mal Oretsev is the worst endgame romantic interest in existence.

Really.

There are many canonical ships I disagree with, but Malina ? This is the worst of all for me.

Alina had so much potential, and it was all wasted on a stupid tracker ; When she could have had the Darkling or Nikolai !

As much as I will always wonder what could be wrong in Alina's head to prefer her childhood friend to these two, and also what could have been going on in Leigh Bardugo's head when she wrote the character of Mal and the Malina relationship.

Like... she didn't notice that the character and the relationship were catastrophic ? Is that the height of romance for her ?

It sucks...

nikolai, grinning at alina: hey, pretty baby

mal, indignant: hey!

nikolai, eyes wide: oh, sorry

*turning to mal, grinning the exact same way*

nikolai, winking at mal: hey, handsome

mal, cheeks going red:

I'm past the stage of shipping Alina with Nikolai but can we talk about that scene in Ruin and Rising when Nikolai still offered Alina to be his queen knowing she already lost her powers. I think that's so pure and I love Nikolai more for that. I love how their relationship developed throughout the series.

He leaned back. “We were friends, weren’t we? Not just allies?”

“Don’t be an ass, Nikolai. We are friends.”

Rereading Ruin and Rising and wow Nikolai and Alina have insane chemistry. I feel like I wrote something similar about siege and storm but their banter, conversations, humour etc... It's all so good. I hope the show goes into that a bit more.

i think what makes fake relationship/marriage of convinience to lovers so appealing is the fact that when the people in the relationship begin to genuinely care for one another, it is a confirmation that they are loved not because of what they can give or how useful would they be to their partner. they are loved simply for being them.

moments like:

character a: there are no people looking at us, you don't have to do this

character b: im doing this for you.

character a: i have nothing to offer you. i will be a liability.

character b: stay.

and maybe the scared-of intimacy-and commitments part of me just feels more reassured with this trope because there is no actual commitment for these characters to make. just a role to fulfill for mutual benefit. a partnership that is built through respect and trust. and an arrangement to test the waters if they can work to be something more. but when things get real, it hits hard because we see the characters do things for each other beyond duty, responsibility, and obligation.

wouldn't it be nice to know that you are loved simply because they love you? that even if you have nothing to give, you would be loved and chosen over and over again.
