Can you find the lie?

Nikolai Lantsov is broken and corrupted, Nikolai Lantsov is brighter than the sun could ever hope to be, and Nikolai Lantsov is naïve.

Ilya Morozova fully made amplifiers that should be worn together, knowing very well that someone would have to kill his daughter or her children and descendants down the line, and i don't think i shall know peace after this. He punished Baghra for it, then exiled her, a child, only to then turn around and make his dead daughter a weapon. Not even in death did they get compassion from their father, i--

#the intergenerational trauma #this fucking family #Baghra is bad and then you meet HER parent and it's like #she did her best #i have just realized this and the firebird as a human is just wild to me #leigh bardugo has mad genius vibes i congratulate her on this it's just such simple villainy #would love to know what she had in mind while writing the morozovs i just want to know #ilya morozova #baghra morozova #aleksander morozova #the darkling #baghra #grishaverse #shadow and bone #shadow and bone season 2 #also i wonder if mal's ancestors knew they were descendants of morozov #or if this is a thing in the grishaverse whether more saints have known descendants #sankt ilya in chains

Why do people call darkling sasha?

His birth name is revealed to be "Aleksander" in R&R (and it's also used in the show).

"Sasha" is a common slavic nickname for Aleksander. Trust me, I don't get why that's the short version/nickname either.

And people who like the Darkling call him Aleksander or even Sasha to counter all the dehumanizing of him the books love doing.

#grishaverse #grishaverse meta #the darkling #aleksander morozova #also anyone who knows even a little bit of any slavic language hates his last name #like ma'am #that's a woman's name #if I saw 'Sasha Morozova' somewhere I'd think that's a woman #because Sasha is gender neutral #but slavic last names are not #it should be morozov #Baghra is Morozova #but Ilya and Aleksander are not #LB didn't do her research part whatever

The mystery of names (and their correct spelling). Part 2. Aleksander Morozova

I'm back with a new analysis. In the last analysis, I promised to analyze the Morozovs. Let's start with Aleksander. And the correct spelling of his name in Russian is Aleksandr Morozov. Everything is simple with the surname: Morozova is the feminine form of the surname. The name is more complicated, as far as I understand, the correct spelling of the name in English is Alexander with an “x” and not “ks”, while in Russian it is written “ks”, but without the second letter “e”. Why Leigh Bardugo wrote this name the way she did is personally unclear to me🤨. Okay, we’ve sorted out the correct spelling, let’s move on to the meaning of the name.

Aleksandr (abbreviated as Sasha, Sashka, Sashen'ka, Sashechka, Sanya, Sashok, Sanyok, San'ka and these are the first that came to my mind, there are a lot of options😁)

I think I won’t surprise anyone by saying that the name comes from the Greek words “alekso” - “to protect” and “andros” - “man” in the sense of “human”, and means protector of people. Therefore, without further ado, let's move on to the surname.

Morozov

Morozov is one of the most common Russian surnames; moreover, it ranks 9th in the list of all-Russian surnames. Like the Starkov surname, there are several versions of the origin of the surname: 1) Origin from the name According to one version, the surname Morozov came from the name Moroz. "Moroz" is a weather phenomenon meaning extreme cold. In ancient times, names that denoted certain natural phenomena could become the basis for the formation of surnames. Thus, a person nicknamed “Moroz” could give rise to the Morozov surname. P.S. The most famous person named Moroz is the Russian equivalent of Santa Claus - Ded Moroz or Moroz Ivanovich, so perhaps Sashka is a descendant of the Russian Santa😂 2) Origin from occupation There is also a version that the surname Morozov came from the ancestors’ occupation of this type of activity associated with the frosty season. For example, they might have been involved in the production and sale of ice cream, ice products, or working in ice caves. 3) Symbolic meaning The surname Morozov can carry a symbolic meaning, indicating strength and perseverance. Moroz is a natural phenomenon that can overcome obstacles and remain unshakable. Therefore, the Morozov surname can be associated with a family possessing such qualities. 4) Relief features of the area It can also be assumed that the surname Morozov is associated with the relief features of the area where the ancestors of this family lived. It may have been a place with a cold climate or glaciers, which ultimately influenced the choice of surname. Regardless of origin, the surname Morozov attracts attention with its mystical and mysterious connotations.

The names of Ilya and Baghra deserve a separate analysis, so the next post will be about them. See you later😘

Were Morozova's amplifiers partly created with Merzost ?

That's what made them into amplifiers. I guess...

“They called him [Morozov(a)] the Bonesmith.”

... “Because of the amplifiers he discovered?”

David looked up, surprised. “He didn’t find them. He made them.”

... “Merzost?”

He nodded. So that was why David had looked at Morozova’s collar when Zoya asked if any Grisha had ever had such power. Morozova had been playing with the same forces as the Darkling. Magic. Abomination.

“How?” I asked.

“No one knows,” David said, glancing over his shoulder again. “After the Black Heretic was killed in the accident that created the Fold, his son came out of hiding to take control of the Second Army. He had all of Morozova’s journals destroyed.”

...

“They documented Morozova’s experiments with amplifiers. The Black Heretic was trying to re-create those experiments when something went wrong.”

The hair rose on my arms. “And the result was the Fold.”

S&S Ch 16

Then his work on the amplifiers had begun, and even I could see the change. The text got denser, messier. The margins were full of diagrams and crazed arrows that referred back to earlier passages. Worse were the descriptions of experiments he’d performed on animals, the illustrations of his dissections. They turned my stomach and made me think Morozova had deserved whatever early martyrdom he’d received. He’d killed animals and then brought them back to life, sometimes repeatedly, delving deeper into merzost, creation, the power of life over death, trying to find a way to create amplifiers that might be used together. It was forbidden power, but I knew its temptation, and I shuddered to think that pursuing it might have driven him mad.

R&R Ch 4

But the animals already existed. Were they immortal? Did they have some special powers before? Did they gain any after? How intelligent are they?

The trouble is all I could find about them in trilogy is that one paragraph in third book, the rest is barely mentioned legends, Alina's deductions and Baghra's words. Neither of them's overly trustworthy or objective.

I'd love to know more. I want details. I wanna read Ilya's words and I want to know Aleksander's true intentions. I want to witness their experience.

grishaverse had truly dodged the bullet because fabricator!nikolai would have been 1000x times worse than ilya morozov. like full-on mad scientist vibes.

Genya should have been the Grisha avatar. In R&R: “…a girl somewhere between Corporalki and Fabrikator”. She’s already blurred the line between two orders, what’s another? + Ilya Morozov being a Fabrikator that can heal, that points to powerful Tailor

That would have been awesome! And it would have been some neat foreshadowing from the previous series. I figure Leigh wanted to do something related to Nikolai and give him a love interest but Genya was already happy with David and they lived happily ever after :)))))

I do like Zoya and probably would have liked her whole avatar plotline, but I think it was just too rushed because it was only 2 books and 3/4 the narrative had to be shared with other characters :/

Okay, so I've skimmed through the first few chapters of Czech Shadow and Bone and it's... not bad. The translation I mean.

The terminology is a little cringe at first, but okay once you get used to seeing it.

My biggest complaint, honestly, is that the translators didn't play more with the formal/informal you thing. The book uses pretty much exclusively informal, which sucks, because it's such a wasted opportunity.

There is so much you can show about the relationship between two characters just by which "you" they use in what settings. It's about respect or lack there-of. It's about how close you are, how well you know each other, what your social status is. What the situation is.

I mean, Alina being informal with everyone is 10/10 bratty little shit of a teenager energy, but also like... IDK, you'd think someone raised in an institution would actually try to keep to the rules.

You don't call wizard-generals that can cut people in half with magic "ty", especially not when you've known him for like 2 days and you've spoken like 3 sentences to each other.

But also, I feel like the czech actually shows the vibe of the scene so much better. "parádní zklamání" vs "big disappointment", "Na mě se dívej" vs "Look at me", "Svlékněte jí násilím, pokud to bude potřeba" vs "Hold her down if you have to", "To není můj obor" vs "It isn't one of my specialties".

But the biggest win: They fixed the fucking surnames. And they didn't even the do the weird russian female surname thing they sometimes do. Ilya is Morozov and Alina is Starková. Nature is healing.
