SHADOW & BONE - CHAPTER 5

“Well,” I said, “there was an old serf who worked on the estate …”

“Go on,” he said. “Tell me.”

“He … he said that Darklings are born without souls. That only something truly evil could have created the Shadow Fold.” I glanced at his cold face and added hastily, “But Ana Kuya sent him packing and told us it was all peasant superstition.”

The Darkling sighed. “I doubt that serf is the only one who believes that.”

I said nothing. Not everyone thought like Eva or the old serf, but I’d been in the First Army long enough to know that most ordinary soldiers didn’t trust Grisha and felt no allegiance to the Darkling.

Because it's happened to me a billion times with other fandoms containing queer ships - if I were an outsider to the SoC fandom and just caught glimpses of fan works/posts, I'd have to wonder if Jesper and Wylan were actually canonically together or if fans just made it up so hard they tricked me into thinking it's real. like ok are these little crime guys actually in love this time or are we feeling left out again.

#then you consume the media and you're like wait they're not actually together. the gays got scammed again #like whatever they got going on in the supernatural fandom...they had teen me thinking those bitches were gay married for years #anyway i haven't watched supernatural. all i know is that they never got gay married they went to hell instead #actually i think soc was the first book i read with an actually relevant queer romance in it so that's epic of them methinks #i was like oh! the author actually Wrote Gay People Falling in Love! #i was an sjm fan at the time so this floored me. yikes #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #wesper #i don't think i've ever tagged a ship name before. but we're talking about it rn so #six of crows #soc #tgt #six of crows memes #soc shitpost

Nikolina Appreciation Week 2023 ♛ Day 2: Favourite AU - Sankta Alina & Sankt Nikolai

Ever since their first fateful meeting, Sankta Alina and Sankt Nikolai were drawn to each other's courage, kindness, and shared sense of purpose. Over time, their devout friendship blossomed into a deep and abiding love.

Their true test came when the Shadow Fold, began to spread across Ravka, threatening to engulf the entire land in eternal darkness. Along the way, despite enduring many perils, Sankta Alina and Sankt Nikolai never lost faith in each other or the sight of their duty. In the end, they succeeded in destroying the Shadow Fold and saving Ravka.

Alas, their victory came at a great cost. Both Sankta Alina and Sankt Nikolai were mortally wounded in the final battle but even as their bodies failed them, their spirits remained unbroken. Their love and legacy endured even beyond death. They have become revered as the patron saints of Ravka and protectors of its people.

you must read the familiar! It has so many darklina moments

Okay guys look. Others have sent me messages as well to read "the Familiar" or "Hell Bent" because it has heavy Alarkling moments and vibes etc.

But the truth is that I'm not interested. And not because I don't like Alarkling but because I'm not interested to read anything that Bardugo has written. At least for now.

I don't find her a good author because she has no idea how to build and expand a fictional world and she's too lazy to study politics, war, strategy and court life. Also, instead of developing characters for the better, she destroys them.

Sure "Demon in the Wood" and "Language of Thorns" are two of my favorite books that I own which speaks volumes about how she's only capable of writing short stories.

Anyway, I've already set my eyes to buy "A Clockwork Orange" or another book by Edgar Allan Poe. Pieces of work that won't disappoint me.

#Leigh is the woman that created one of my most favorite characters ever #but that doesn't mean that I will kiss her ass or get excited and promote every time she publish a book #TGT is beloved to me because when you close your brain to its stupidity is a fine way to get your mind off from the reality #but that's it #leigh bardugo #grishaverse #shadow and bone #anon asks #the familiar #alarkling

I think that if CC and HB desperately needed to have some kind of plot twist in TGT, instead of it being the whole "it was a random eviller makar the whole time!" thing, they should have decided that Constantine actually didn't give his soul to Call at all

#lee rambles on and on #i'm personally against any sort of twist happening in the last book of the series but at least this plays into the themes #magisterium #tgt

i'm rereading shadow and bone after a while and obviously it was written before six of crows but i think i remember more of the soc setting so it's just so funny to read about the scary, mysterious corporalki who think they're better than anyone else (and they have anatomy rooms! with only skylights for light sources!!) and i'm like, that's my girl nina <3 or the materialki being characterized as serious, asocial nerds when jesper is RIGHT THERE.

it's also interesting to compare to the netflix series -- they left a lot of the intricacies out of the little palace, i think because there was already so much plot going on. but the hierarchy between the orders of grisha is a lot more understated in the series (to the extent where i forgot it was a thing while watching, and was really surprised in s2 when alina wants change the colours) and genya is treated with a lot more respect by the other grisha than in the books. other small but funny things is that fedyor + ivan are basically swapped in terms of appearances compared to the books (fedyor is described as "fair-haired", "lanky", and with "a long, melancholy face"; ivan is described as "taller, broader, with wavy brown hair and sun-bronzed skin") and that baghra is actually introduced as having "coal-black hair untouched by grey" although i vaguely remember her hair turning grey later on?

i miss my boy mal (sab series mal my beloved) though :(

I’m honestly kind of excited by how bad sab season two is rumored to be! like maybe this season will actually be fun to watch instead of boring

#shadow and bone #grishaverse #i ramble sometimes #sab #I’m still like shaking in my boots over how the fuck they’re going to possibly cram together the last two tgt books #and ALSO soc prequel stuff where they introduce wylan but don’t actually get to the ice court heist??? #what the fuck are you doing

Suli! Mal wasn’t even confirmed in the show…
