Fic | Unmaking the Heart of the World

Chapter Eighteen

Time Loop AU

Pairings: Darklina, Nikolina, Zoyalina

Post R&R, S&B redux, grief, angst, canon typical Darkling tantrums ✨

In one timeline Alina marries Nikolai and becomes queen of Ravka, but in another, she’s only just been brought to the Little Palace following the discovery of her powers.

#hi I’m back after like six months #darklina #alarkling #they literally start making out after this fight so.

trying to come to terms with the fact that I will be watching kaz’s backstory. the singularly most traumatizing backstory i’ve come across in any form of media or content (and it’s not even close). with my own eyes. in just three days. and then live the rest of my life with those images in my head.

#I can’t stop thinking about this #we are so fucked it’s not funny #kaz brekker #shadow and bone #six of crows #shadow and bone season 2 #sab netflix #like my head is already a goddamn mess #what will the addition of these images do to me #I’m living in fear over here #like I already have a therapist but y’all can start paying for it after this

i actually can’t go anywhere online rn i keep seeing people saying the same old shit.

“if the darkling is supposed to be evil, why is he hot”

“if we were supposed to hate him, why cast ben barnes?”

“it’s so much better alina is powerful! the book ending made me ill”

as if the darkling being attractive wasn’t part of the point. as if him being good looking wasn’t how he got away with grooming countless young girls to try take their power.

alina losing her powers was the consequence she was warned about! but her power was then split between everyone and now more and more sun summoners exist, she got to stay away from positions of power that made her miserable and she got to start a new life with mal. one full of peace and love.

idk who that is in the ending but it isn’t alina starkov

#shadow bone #shadow and bone s2 #shadow and bone spoilers #i’m so mad #i hate the ending so much #and don’t get me started on mal being sturmhond #or inej leaving #or inej and TOLYA #that ending was so ass #i hate it so much #it’s just the same shit with these people #i can’t do it #i’m sorry

“Alina Starkov is a lesbian with comphet issues,” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos and tells me to get off stage.

“No, she’s right,” someone says from the back of the room.

We all turn to look at them. It’s Zoya Nazyalensky, who just got back from topping Alina.

something I just love about the Helnik dream sequences in season two is that the first thing Matthias sees in his dreams of Nina is her cupping his cheek with her hand, and how that’s like the one piece of physical touch from his dreams that he actually knows what it feels like because she did it in 1x08 so that familiarity is probably why he dreams of it first 😭

#sorry I started my next rewatch (this is my third run through of the season now lmao I’m so ill) #and I just couldn’t help but notice how it starts off with that very tame little cheek touch #and then watching the scenes from season 1 you really notice how that cheek touch was the closest they got to being together and intimate #like… #they ruined my life #shadow & bone #shadow and bone #sab s2 #helnik #matthias helvar #nina zenik

So unpopular opinion but Cameron and Kuwei do deserve some (NOT ALL) of the hate they get. It’s fine if you don’t agree but I will elaborate. Do I think that they should get hate for having a crush or wanting to be liked by their teachers and peers? No. Do I think they should get shit on for being teenagers and making mistakes? No. Do I think that they should however get some shit for ruining an Innocent teachers life and career to impress a school or SA’ing a crush. Yes I do. And they probably should.

Been rereading Six of Crows and it just makes the whole crows’ storylines from S&B season 2 so much worse. Kaz’ motivation for taking the heist is to use his share of the money to become powerful enough to destroy Pekka…but he already did that. (Not to mention his seeming goodwill and patriotism in the Ice Heist introduction at the end that completely goes against his entire character.) Inej’s motivation (maybe not at first but later) is to use her money for a crew to hunt slavers…but she already did that. A big part of Jesper’s growth throughout the duology is accepting that he is Grisha…but he already did that. A big part of Wylan’s storyline is proving himself to Jesper and the crows…but he already did that. Nina has a whole thing about not being properly trained, but in the show she is. Even Matthias already “fought” the wolves…except he didn’t. I feel like everything they did with the crows this season undermines so much of their actual storyline and I want to have hope in this spinoff (if we ever get it), but I have no idea how they’re going to do it when they already used so much for the show

#six of crows #shadow and bone #shadow and bone spoilers #what i loved so much about their storyline in season 1 is none of it contradicted their book storylines #and they just threw all of that away in season 2 #i want this spinoff so much #but as Im reading the book I’m realizing how much they would have to change #i did enjoy the show (minus the Pekka storyline) #and i loved what they did with wesper tbh #which I think they can work with later #and they can work around the damage they did to the other ships #but so much of their growth happened too soon #kaz getting his revenge was supposed to be the start of his ability to heal #but he already got that and still isn’t so what else does he need to do??? #and what are their plans with Pekka being in prison? #i Didn’t read S&B so I can’t speak to the damage did there (though I am sympathetic) #but i just don’t know what to exepect from this spinoff anymore

I will always be a little mad - at both Leigh Bardugo and the showrunner for Shadow and Bone - that they introduced the most interesting concept and then just dropped it never to be heard from again.

What the fuck happened to the Council of Tides. Where are they. Were they just too cool for you???? Why must you tempt me with this fire concept and then never mention it again? Why????? Explain.

#I’m so upsetty spaghetti about this #like the one really cool thing and everyone involved is just like…nah let’s focus on uninteresting stuff instead #idk something about advanced submarines I don’t even remember what happens in kos #six of crows #shadow and bone #I’m salty this morning. #also just started ck reread so they’re leaning heavily on that to foreshadow their role in the ending #before they DISAPPEAR FOREVER

Me: Starts new book

Me: I should reread Six of Crows

#six of crows #soc #crooked kingdom #shadow and bone #to be fair to myself #I’m not really into the book I started #I started it a month ago and haven’t picked it back up

@nefarioushan

As per your request, sans Zoya and Alina because my hands are cramping from drawing and also I cannot draw for shit- I will however make a different Alina & Zoya artwork and tag you in it! Not exactly what you asked for but it is sadly what you shall receive:

#shadow and bone season 2 #malyen oretsev #nikolai lantsov #archie renaux #paddy gibson #sturmblade #I’m starting a new hashtag & ship name: strumblade

[margoshansons]

Gotta admit…the writing has fucking PLUNGED this season even in the first episode

Miss Bardugo how could you let this get to film?

#shadow and bone spoilers #sab spoilers #the one liners alone made me CRINGE #‘I’m back and I made some friends’ who are you Tony stark? #also fuck it I know we support adaptations in this house but what made me love Nikolai was his quick turn AGAINST the Darkling in sas #like the Darkling charters the ship and Nikolai is like ‘cool I am going to backstab you tho’ and honestly I fell in love right there #I just don’t get it cause they did so good with the changes in s1 #but here I just— #and don’t even get me STARTED on the crows #shadow and bone

I’ll be starting to post my Crooked Kingdom rereads soon! The first one will be up sometime this week. I will not be posting them everyday once I start however, because some of these chapters are beasts. Like they are just so long, especially reading on my phone. I also have a lot of thoughts and want to include so many quotes that the rereads themselves are ridiculously long so I’ll be needing time to edit them and cut them down. I’m hoping to drop at least one a week so fingers crossed that works out

#I’m excited to start though!! #I’ve made my own little divider things? I’m not sure how to explain them but you’ll see #I think they’re cute #six of crows #shadow and bone #grishaverse #crooked kingdom #CK #books #kazscrows #kazscrowsreadsck
