Leigh has this thing of pairing people with similar struggles

Inej-Kaz: PTSD that caused them issues with touching other people

Nina-Matthias: Being raised in a militarized emviroment

Jesper-Wylan: Learning disabilities combined with daddy issues

Zoya-Nikolai: Being too pretty (and there is the hidden vulnerability too but whatever)

Alina-Mal: Self steem and belonging issues

Marie-Sergei: the struggle of being the worst characters on the grishaverse and having the fandom deny it just because they are both death

#oh come on! did marie did anything else than dying and being unlikeable on the first book? #not show! marie #she deserved better #and sergei did the nik thing after being equality unsuferable and died #the reason he didn't make it into the show is because no actor deserved such a punishment to play sergei #netflix shadow and bone #six of crows #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #nina zenik #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #matthias helvar #zoya nazyalensky #alina starkov #malyen oretsev

Kaz's eyes narrowed. "Sturmhond."

"He knows me!" Sturmhond said delightedly. He nudged Genya with an elbow. "I told you I'm famous."

Zoya blew out an exasperated breath. "Thank you. He's going to be twice as insufferable now."

― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

In case you'd forgotten, this is canonically what Inej thinks about having to interact with the Grisha trilogy characters:

#been seeing too many 'they should be/are friends' posts lately #like they really have her leaving ketterdam on sturmhond's ship as if she would even step foot on it #also before anyone says anything i know she went to zoya's coronation but that was literally a one time thing because they were crowning a #half suli person as ruler #she doesn't like or fuck with these people #like she didn't even want to be in the same room as them #and we stan her for it #inej ghafa #six of crows #nina zenik #kanej #shadow and bone

The fact that Leigh Bardugo totally nerfed and butchered her most interesting characters (the Darkling, Nikolai) and gave happy endings to her most boring and annoying ones (Mal, Zoya) is the most bizarre and fucked up thing to do as an author.

I love when authors/writers take characters that the audience hates and then we get their perspective or the other characters get to know them better and suddenly we love this character and pause and go "how did this happen?"

hmmm something about dominik haunting the narrative in king of scars. everything nikolai does is at least a little bit for him. he learns about the life of average ravkan people by meeting dominik's family. he starts gaining influence in politics just so he can improve dominik's life. and then he promises dominik that he won't let ravka break him.

that promise fucking haunts him. it follows him wherever he goes. it's the driving force behind everything he does, every step he takes to heal the centuries-old wounds in ravka. it's what drives him to do better, be better.

dominik is always there, in the back of his mind: this country gets you in the end. always pushing him to do more, because he couldn't save dominik and so he has to save ravka (for dominik) (because he promised) (because he loved him)

#my spicy hot take is that nikolai's relationship with dominik actually affects the narrative of the duology more than - #- his relationship with zoya does #you could argue that *none* of the events of the duology would have happened without dominik's influence #and honestly zoyalai as a relationship doesn't really affect the narrative/plotline all that much #which is One of the problems i have with it being endgame #anyway yes i am writing an angsty nikolai backstory fic why do you ask? #it's mostly about how he reinvents himself at every minor inconvenience (but also how incredibly fucked up his childhood was) #and if i have the energy it might turn into a rewrite of the ending of rule of wolves #bc him giving up the throne just plays into that pattern of running away #so honestly i think it's not a great ending in terms of his arc and character development #this may just be a me thing idk but i just feel like he doesn't actually get that much development in the duology #bc there's this idea of him as being Perfect and Invulnerable and Not Affected By His Trauma #which. is not the case. #it's all very dear reader (taylor swift) imo #ANYWAY #mayhem.txt #mayhem grishaverse originals #nikolai lantsov #shadow and bone #king of scars #grishaverse

So Barbie was man hating but Animal should be taken as a movie

#samridhi speaks #the amount of abusive words and reviews that were hurled towards barbie and now some guy friends and other male reviewers make reels about #how animal should be seen as a movie #you know i was rooting for him because he was standing up for his sister yeah the method was violent but movies are exaggerating anyway #but then the affair with zoya him telling his brothers whatever that shaadi mein darr hona zaruri hai #nobody gives a fuck about how women got triggered about the cheating and the way he talks to his wife after screwing up his marriage #yeah a movie just a movie #barbie was terrifying for men right but for what making them realize that men aren't the centre attraction of a girl/woman's world and they #can just exist for themselves and celebrate their existence as women doing their own things behing happy #the director himself talks about that if you can't touch kiss slap your wife anywhere anytime i don't think there is any love emotion #existing #the fuck

[or-we-could-take-a-walk-together]

the king of scars duology was leigh bardugo’s answer to every darklina shipper/darkling fan justifying the darkling’s crimes. in kos+row they explicitly call out every single one of the darkling’s crimes, which is why i’ll always be a malina shipper (in canon ships at least, genyalina supremacy) because the other option is simply terrible. so please learn to separate an artist from his art, which in this case the artist is ben barnes, and the art is his portrayal of the darkling.

#‘but it’s ben barnes’ *shoots* #i’m so sorry but if you think that what the darkling did was a good thing please get tf away from me #don’t get me wrong i have tons of respect for ben barnes but not to the darkling. #fuck the darkling #the darkling #aleksander kirigan #aleksander morozova #baghra morozova #i love her #ben barnes #anti darkling #malina #mal oretsev #malyen oretsev #alina starvok #for once i don’t post about six of crows #shadow and bone #shadow and bone trilogy #siege and storm #zoya nazyalensky #nikolai lantsov #anti darklina

Mal: It´s true! i saw an unicorn back in Novyi Zem

Alina: Mal...we were starving, tired-

Nikolai: i want what you were smoking

Mal: I saw it! it was with that kid we meet

Zoya: you think unicorns are real? how old are you?

Mal: you are right! its impossible! thanks for telling me that Mrs Dragon Queen with her were demon husband, when are you writing to your zombie raising child? Because my former sunray wife that i was born to amplify would love to meet her and maybe visit my half siren long lost cousin! Maybe i should tell her that her brother is a tree now

Alina: "snikers" Baghra fucked a fish

Zoya: just because SOME crazy stuff exist doesn't mean everything will ,some things are fictional, like unicorns.

---

Wylan: Why do you never take off her hat?

Jesper: Molly is very attached to it, it makes her feel complete

Jesper whispering to the horse´s ear: its okay, he is trustworthy, the secret is safe with him
