I cried, literally the only people I cried for. They stole the show for me. I hated every single one of the heroes for what happened to them. They were just fitting for their freedoms and their right as people and they were murdered and looked at as the bad guys for. I knew they were done for when the crows showed up.

First Vs Second Army Speculation (Book Spoilers)

So I’ve been thinking about that clip that was released where you see grisha in cages and the Darkling announces he has returned in an extra dramatic way:

Obviously when first seeing the clip I wondered whether he was the one who put them in the cages or whether he is the one rescuing them. I actually think it it more likely the latter of the two. In the books there is a scene where Fedyor and other grisha show up at the dacha Alina is staying at and we are given a sense of what it has been like for the grisha in the aftermath of what happened in the fold at the end of book/season 1:

Fedyor had been serving near Sikursk on the south-eastern border. When word of the destruction of Novokribirsk reached the outpost, the King’s soldiers had turned on the Grisha, pulling them from their beds in the middle of the night and mounting sham trials to determine their loyalty. Fedyor had helped to lead an escape. “We could have killed them all,” he said. “Instead, we took our wounded and fled.”

Some Grisha hadn’t been so forgiving. There had been massacres at Chernast and Ulensk when the soldiers there had tried to attack members of the Second Army. Meanwhile, Mal and I had been aboard the Verrhader, sailing west, safe from the chaos we’d unleashed.

I can’t help but wonder if the scene above of Grisha in cages are those sham trails. That these Grisha were pulled from their beds in the middle of the night by the first army and locked up. The image is too dark to see whether or not the dead guys are first army or not but it looks like Aleksander shows up to save the Grisha. There is also that clip in the teaser that shows Genya in a cage:

which makes me think that she is one of the Grisha that is put on trail. But it also gave me another theory about the David and Genya hug. I don’t remember exactly when in the books David chooses to leave the darkling, but I’ve seen some posts that say they can see the darkling in the background of the Genya/David hug scene. So my theory is that the hug scene happens whilst Genya and David are still in service to the Darkling. Maybe David is the one that tells Aleksander that the first army have been imprisoning and attacking grisha and that they have captured Genya. Or it could be that instead of going to Alina and telling her about these attacks Fedyor in the show actually goes to Aleks and explains the situation , that they were attacked that he was able to escape and lead some of the others away but some were left behind and are still imprisoned. You know Aleksander isn’t going to stand for the first army attacking grisha because it’ll remind him way too much of his past when the king’s soldiers were hunting him and his people down and how they killed Luda. I think Aleksander will rescue Genya and the other grisha and bring her back to David where they’ll share a hug. I think it’ll be later in the season when David and Genya will then turn sides and join Alina instead but I think in that scene they are still loyal to Aleksander.

If my theory is right then it would seem like there is going to be alot more tension between the First and Second armies this season. We already saw some of that tension in season 1 with Mal and Alina mocking the grisha and saying that the grisha bully first army, but I feel like that dial is going to be turned up to 100 in season 2. Which to me makes Alina being shown in a First Army General’s uniform even odder. Like I keep telling myself to wait and see the context of it but I don’t know I just feel really eek about it. Especially as I saw a post showing a side by side of Alina and Zlatan:

Like this is the guy who tried to have Alina assassinated which got Marie killed in Alina’s place, who let Fjerdans kidnap and kill grisha and who was willing to kill an entire skiff full of people just so he could also kill Alina. He was clearly no friend of the grisha and so it is really off putting seeing Alina dressed the same as him. Then you have this situation of the first army attacking the grisha and it just makes alina being in this uniform even more yikes for me. I am really hoping that there is a good explanation in the show but even if it is a case of she has been made general of both the second and first army I still would have put her in a kefta, even if it was a kefta in the colours of the first army showing a melding of the two, if they wanted to go for the uniting both armies under one leader thing. But seeing her dressed just like Zlatan makes me feel really uncomfortable for some reason. Again could 100% be just me thinking too much about it but I don’t know, I just don’t like it.

All I can think about recently is that there are three main career options for Grishaverse main characters:

A) Child soldier

B) Criminal

C) ✨Both✨

#and none of them are a choice #it’s very dependent on who your government is #shoutout to Nina and Matthias for really exploring all options available to them #my poor babies #inspired by convo with my sister where she said why is everyone a child soldier and I said some of them are criminals too(!)#as a side note it’s very unclear whether Grisha in Ravka get paid to be in the second army #I’m pretty sure they don’t #like at least if you’re a criminal you can make some cash #not that I’m endorsing criminal activity obvs #but at least there’s marginally more choice as a criminal #it would appear at least marginally more autonomy #crooked kingdom #shadow and bone #the grishaverse #six of crows #grishaverse #leigh bardugo #grisha trilogy #seige and storm #ruin and rising #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #nina zenik #Matthias helvar #alina starkov #mal oretsev #genya safin #zoya nazyelensky

DMK's a better flyer than his counterpart, though even he has some limits

#dark meta knight #mir dragato #mir falspar #kirby right back at ya #post's art gallery #galaxy solider army #impressive considering Mir Falspar probably clocks in at over twice his weight #not so impressive if he drops him in the next five seconds (Mir Falspar isn't quite awake enough to notice)

Do you ever think about how Heartrenders are the only Grisha to wear kefta adorned with black?

What if it's meant to be an acknowledgement of Aleksander's paternity? Baghra refused to share any information about his father, but later she claims he was a powerful Heartrender. Sure, she could've lied, but she could've said the same to Aleksander too, when he got too annoying one day.

When Second Army was established, it was too late to even look for the man, so the Darkling honored him by sharing his own colour with his father's "kind".

I used to talk about this a lot but

IDW Prowl is probably one of the most complex characters in the comics and I absolutely hate it when hes reduced down to “the asshole character”

Cause like

Yeah sure hes got a bit of a stick up his ass

But I feel like people just end there analysis of him there

Has he committed a lot of war crimes and done unethical stuff

Yes

But so has literally EVERYONE else in this universe

Starscream is literally the pinnacle of war crimes

The comics make a point calling out even Optimus for his questionable actions and orders during the war with the Dinobots saying he makes them do the dirty work for him

Megatron literally commits genocide and yet his story ends with an alternate version of him going free and exploring the universe with the LL

The literal war lord was treated better and is looked upon more positively than Prowl and I think it just came down to how fucked Prowl got by the writers

Because while Megatrons redemption was all in your face and you got a shit ton of flashbacks that try to justify the eventual atrocities he would commit you don’t get that with Prowl

Even when Prowl is absolutely in the right you constantly have it disregarded by characters making jokes about him overreacting (being mad OP is sending the space tyrant away with free reign of his own ship isn’t overreacting btw-) and as such you start to think of him as a genuinely irrational character when hes not

Prowl is bad at keeping the relationships he forms yes

But he is not always at fault for that

While his relationship with CD ended poorly Chromedome is also shown to be kinda of a dick sometimes and commits his fair share of fucked up things such as when he literally ATTACKS PROWL AND FORCES HIS WAY INTO HIS MIND TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM THE CONSEQUENCE OF HIS ACTIONS WHEN PROWL THREATENS TO TELL REWIND ABOUT THE SHITTY STUFF HE DID IN HIS PAST

This leads to Prowls inevitable snowball out of control when this attack leads to an opening for Bombshell (I think its been a while since I read the comics) to use his tech to mind control him forcing him into combining with the contructicons

Something we learn is an immensely intimate thing with their minds being kinda melded

This was something Prowl did not want

And when all was said and done and he was calmed down he still had to live with that gesalt he was forced into with them following him around like fanboys

Nobody ever even really stopped to check in on him

And as such he understandable went a little bit insane

He had just faced an immensely traumatic invasion of his body and mind and on top of stress form feeling like everything was out of his control and like he couldn’t stop the bad things from happening alongside bitter emotions being brought back up with a return visit to Earth and reunion with spike AND the fact that he feels like Optimus doesn’t trust him and like hes just letting Starscream do whatever he want (something that understandably freaks him out seeing as how he spent 4 million years fighting Starscream) he just kinda snaps

He trys to destroy the space bridge so that no one else can leave or get through and so he can regain some semblance of control

Is it wrong

Yes

But he was not in a good state of mind and no one was helping him at all

And immediately following his arrest afterward Prowl is confronted by OP who is supposed to be his friend and when Prowl doesn’t say the right things to him to placate him Optimus’ response is to punch him out a window and beat the shit out of him

And not being given any room to breath this is immediately follow up my him getting kidnapped by Tarantulas who is very obviously an impactful and negative part of his past

Prowl just has bad event, one after the other, happen to him over and over again and not only does no one check up on him afterwards to see if hes okay but everyone actively makes fun of him for being understandable unstable

Prowl is a fucking tragedy and not many people seem to be able to see beyond what characters in the comics think of him

#IDW #Prowl #IDW prowl #Asher writing entire essays about the complex nature of a character most people hate-#I will defend IDW Prowl to my death #and I know a lot of people like to point fingers at him for war crimes and questionable actions #but like again almost everyone in IDW has commited a few war crimes #and he was literally the second in command of the entire army #of course he would have had to take on the brunt of the shitty questionable orders #I also think its weird that so many characters point out hes always the one ordering the shitty stuff but never wants to get his hands dirty #but then OP does the same thing and literally ONLY the dinobots point it out #optimus prime #megatron #lost light #taurantulas #starscream
