Yeah Jesus suffered but not as much as Gone fans who do enjoy the Monster trilogy

#'it was weird' AND??????? weren't the original books? #the characters were cool the concept was weird as hell but fun the story was engaging the ending gave me several existential crises... #whats not to love #gone series #the monster trilogy #my post

I know you didn't finish it, but what did you think of the sequel series characters? And what did you expect the sequels to be like when they were announced? I thought they'd be a toned down exploration of the characters trauma, I was not expecting them to be so intense lol

hi, anon!

i really enjoyed dekka as a protagonist! it was really fun seeing her shine! this might be a given since she has a whole series worth of books that give her presence and depth, but she felt a lot more interesting and her struggles a lot more urgent than any of the other new characters.

cruz! i liked cruz. i think she was one of the only new characters that really stuck out to me. her gender identity crisis felt, to me at least, written tastefully and sensitively, and i really think mg excelled at writing a character whose insecurities (and not only those gender-related) were palpable. her latching onto shade, who in contrast has such a strongly defined sense of self, felt very understandable. i think it would've been interesting to see how she developed if the rest of the first book didn't fall so flat for me.

shade! oh, boy. i really wanted to like shade, but her character never quite clicked for me. she was a genius and sometimes calculating like astrid (which i like!), but she seemed to lack her compassion and morality. i never quite understood why she was so desperate to get into the supernatural nitty-gritty knowing how much grief and trauma the fayz caused so many kids her age. i mean, her mom died and that's awful, but i never really understood her motivations exactly. her actions never seemed to gel with her genius characterization--they just seemed sort of reckless and hard to justify. the original series had the benefit of the characters being dropped into the fayz and having to sort out the answers themselves, deprived of food and shelter and parental authority, and having to survive all by themselves. but shade wants to endanger herself and eat radioactive rock, despite living in the normal world where she's taken care of because...her mom died? i just can't sympathize i'm sorry. her character flopped for me :/ but maybe she gets better in the other books? i just wasn't convinced of her genius because what genius would get themselves willingly wrapped up in the fayz after what all those other kids went through? it's especially frustrating since we get dekka's pov and know, intimately, the trauma she's still suffering. idk shade makes me mad i just don't understand her

malik! we don't get much of malik in the first book, but he seems cool. i like him.

armo! again, not too much of him, but he also seems cool!

vincent vu! ableist characterization aside, i gotta admit, i really liked vincent vu. idk.

drake-lite guy who was the villain but died: i really liked his backstory about being in the fayz but being a totally ordinary nobody who wanted to be a comedian. that's such an interesting idea!

Grand Admiral Vanto and Grand Admiral Faro

Nothing unusual - just Eli and Karyn as Grand Admirals of the Imperial Fleet…. ….Hmmm, then who is Thrawn in this situation? Commander-in-Chief? "Heir to the Empire"?

Hera: children you have not found the love of your life if you didn’t find them in the trash!

*Sabine and Ezra both look at Kanan*

Kanan: why do you assume that I was in the trash?!

Leia: no she’s got a point

Ezra: does this mean I can space Kallus cuz Zeb didn’t find him in the trash!

Kallus: Bridger I swear

Zeb: kid….Kallus was the trash

Vaughn Morozov

A hc of what I imagine him to be like.

Vaughn Morozov, the Pakhan's heir. The Gentleman of the Bratva. The Manipulator. The Mastermind.

He isnt necessarily silent and quiet but he doesn't talk much, either. He got the manners, the charm and the etiquette of what one would call the ideal man. He has the looks, the body, the height, the hair and the money. But above all he is responsible and a smart man.

He knows when and how to use his charm especially in terms of business to either get the deal done or to deceit. He knows and plans things so effortlessly well, its almost flawless. He is also 10 steps ahead of everyone. He is analytical and calculative. A Mastermind. He rules the game, the world and the people, and he would do it so easily that they won't even realise it.

He isnt known as the gentleman for no reason. He is respectful and straightforward. Unlike most of the ruthless men in the Bratva, who springs to brutal actions almost immediately, he is calm. He resorts to let the mind games play, he likes messing up the mentality of the people, because he understands that mental pain is possibly more cruel and painful than physical pain. He resorts to quietly finishing the job because he isnt a fan of showcasing his work to the people.

He is so eloquent with his words and works. He dont need to talk much to get people to his side. He is a man of his words but mostly a man of actions. He won't hesitate to strike when nobody is looking, he won't hesitate to manipulate and make things work out on his favour.

He is a smart man, he knows what strings to pull, what steps to take. And it all comes from being a logical thinker, it comes from having parents who are one of the most important figures in the Bratva, he knows he needs to be well aware of his surroundings in case trouble strikes. It comes from seeing situations through every looking glass. It comes from being a great born-leader.

He likes to keep the side of his street clean and that's very hard to maintain especially being in the mafia. But nobody knows what happens to people who has crossed him or his loved ones. You just know they have suffered gravely. He keeps his business private. Those who needs to know will know and that's it.

He drives. Really, really well. The Mercesdes-Benz, his parents got him for his 18th birthday is one of his prized possessions. He dont ask for much from his parents, he rarely does. Mostly because they have provided him with all that he needed. And it's because he doesn't want to leech off people, he doesn't want to ask things from anyone when he knows he is equally capable of being able to do things for himself.

When he is in the UK, he rides his bike, going for joy rides with them. Though he maybe the youngest, he is undoubtedly a brilliant and mature one. Sophisticated and intimidating, Vaughn enjoys his chase. But he also let's down his guard and takes in the fresh air of youth, he knows how to enjoy his life while learning not to be vulnerable in the eyes of the people.

He can cook, clean, fend for himself. He is self-sufficient and has learned from a young age that there is no other way to success other than hard work along with smart work.

He likes to read. He like to solve puzzles, play chess, watch crime documentaries and just solve anything that needs to be solved. Maybe that's boring for most but that's how he keeps his brain to actively work and think strategically.

He is also athletic, joining the school's sports team to keep himself physically fit. He may not be the best at it but he is above average, he plays football, basketball, tennis. Exceptionally great at ice hockey (according to my headcannon.)

Because he likes to keep himself updated with the people around him and the world, he knows many things about people. If he wants he can extract informations that people have tried their best to hide too.

He might even enlist in the military, just like his mom and dad and climb ranks, but he might not stay long to accomplish that, maybe for 2 or 3 years. Because he has other responsibilities. But he will be there for the experience and knowledge.

He is academically thriving as well. Taking up computer science, physics or any of the challenging STEM subjects, because like mentioned above he likes to keep his brain to actively work to find solutions.

He is without a doubt a great son and a great friend. He won't say it out loud but he will, for sure, be their for people who needs him. Be it for advise or just be there for them. He is a great companion to his dad, helping him with works, though his father never asks him to burden himself with such works at a young age. He is a great son to his mom, driving her to places, going shopping for anything, helping his mom around the house though they have people for that.

He is the type of son, whose parents need not worry about him doing the wrong thing or being in thr wrong place. They only worry about him over working himself. He likes to be in his best behaviour, be the best in what he do.

Overall, Vaughn Morozov, is an almost perfect man, who obviously has his flaws but doesn't shy away from correcting himself and move forward to be better and stronger.

He made a cameo and im intrigued by him. But honestly, as much as I want to read about him judging by how RK has disappointed some(most) of her characters in their own books, I'm afraid she might do the same to Vaughn too. So in a way, it's better to leave him as he is, but at the same time he seems to be a character full of potential, to me at least.

Anyways, thank you for reading my previous post.

Hope you enjoy this as well.

Once upon a time, there was a girl cold as winter, greedy as a king, lonely as an orphan. She was a liar, a thief, and a wicked maid, who stole from the family that took her in and threw her lady mistress to the wolves. She did what it took to survive, and would not martyr herself for anyone.

Joker: "You see in their last moments, people show you who they really are."

Meanwhile the Darkling in his last moments:

"Blue sky" = he marvelled at the beauty of the world around him. Reminding us of the fact that he loved everything bright. ("Blue like the True Sea")

"Alina"..."Alina" = calling the girl that he loved at his side, searching for her arm to hold it cause he needed comfort and her company.

"Someone to mourn me" = he could scowl at her, spit on her or ignore her. But no. Even though she stabbed him he stroked her tears away, smiled at her and found solace in the fact that someone loves him and mourns his demise.

"No grave. For them to desecrate" = he doesn't want his body to be defiled. If he goes down, he wants to rest in peace at last. After so many years of war and conflict.

"Once more. Speak my name once more" = he wanted to hear his name from her lips. I bet he loved the sound of it whenever she said it (🥲). He wanted to hear the name that was tattooed on his heart and hidden from all. One more time before the end.

"Don't let me be alone" = he desired her presence at his side until the end. He didn't want to venture into the dark alone. The dark that frightened him so much when he was little. But also all his life was alone but for a mother who verbally and emotionally abused him. He came to fear loneliness and we can see that in this line too.

So yes, in his last moments he was Aleksander. A boy broken and damaged. Not a villain. Just a lonely boy. That's what he truly was.

Pls tell me I’m not the only one but I’ve read so many aftg fanfiction that I don’t know what is canon anymore, so I find myself surprised every time I open this app and see someone posting things about the book that I was convinced were hc.

Awtwb is the gift that keeps on giving cuz it really assured us that Baz would be like "I deeply regret the harm I caused when I was blinded by the recklessness and immaturity of my teenage angst. I cannot go on without righting my wrongs" and Simon would just go "yeah but you looked very hot doing all that babe ily"
