Zoya, Do You Know Why The Darkling Lost The Civil War? How Alina Stopped Him?

“Zoya, do you know why the Darkling lost the civil war? How Alina stopped him?”

Zoya pinched the bridge of her nose. “No. I wish I did.”

“Because he always fought alone. He let his power isolate him.”

I’m sorry - HE let HIS POWER isolate him?????

no no no no no, did we forget everything we’ve learned about Aleksander? AGAIN? ARE THERE SOME GROUPS OF MEN IN BLACK ROAMING AROUND RAVKA, JUST CLICKING PEOPLES MEMORIES AWAY????

He was alone, because everyone he let close betrayed him. 

Baghra was his abusive, manipulative mother who didn’t give two shits about anyone but herself. 

Alina, trusting the word of Baghra, deserted her post and betrayed Aleksander, nearly causing the doom of all Ravka.

Zoya and Genya are also deserters, and betrayed their General.

He couldn’t exactly say ‘hi so I am 500+ years old, I made the Fold when I had a mental breakdown, I’m also a Morozova u know, like the Ilya, Baghra is too, we’re amplifiers, like super powerful ones, and yeah I am super powerful but don’t be scared, I trust you will not give this very sensitive info to any of my enemies haha’ COULD HE?

about me

you can call me bee, or if it makes you more comfortable you could also call me eny (although i prefer bee :)).

as you have seen in my profile, i am from germany! which means i am aware of the image people have of germans in consideration of our history etc. and i am going to say this right away, if one of you starts bullying me because of my heritage you can kindly FUCK OFF and i will block you! in other words, if you have nothing nice to share; don't talk or write to me.

i am a cancer and a INFJ-T. my pronounces are she/her. i am a cis female, plus-size (chubby?) and bi.

please don’t expect me to be online and post all the time (you might have already noticed that by now). mostly because school keeps me extremely busy all the time, to the point of almost no free time.

i am currently 18 years old and in august i will be starting my last year in school (13 grade).

i am such a sucker for fictional characters, may it be 2d boys (and girls) or fictional book characters. but especially morally grey characters steal my heart, like how can they not. that’s why this blog is only going to be about fictional characters (some exceptions may appear though, depending on my mood).

some of my favorite characters anime/manga (there’s more):

aib: chishiya, mira

jjk: toge inumaki

bnha: dabi, shoto, shigaraki, tamaki

tokyo revengers: mitsuya, mikey, sanzu, ran, wakasa

some of my favorite book characters:

cardan greenbriar

aleksander morozova

“We would need an extraordinarily powerful Fabrikator to bring forth the thornwood the way that Elizaveta did.” The Darkling smiled. “Does this mean you have not mastered all Juris setout to teach you?” Zoya felt the dam containing her rage give way. She lunged toward theDarkling as Nikolai seized her arms to hold her back. “You do not speak his name. Say his name again and I’ll cut the tongue from your mouth and wear it as a brooch.”

… why is Zoya so angry that he speaks about Juris tho. I think if the old lizard would mind, he would say so. They [Sasha and Juris] knew each other most likely for years. 

Takemichi bicon he left his wife (Hinata) for his malewife (Mikey)

Playlist

Dark Blood and Light Masterlist

Throughout this story I am going to add a few new songs, so do not be surprised if the Spotify playlist will gain a few more. As a fun fact, I actually listened to these songs while reading the actual books (not in the same order, but still every time I listend to them I can’t help but associate them with the shadow and bone books). I hope you enjoy them as well, maybe you’ll listen to them as well while reading the other books.

One song that I couldn’t find on Spotify is „Paint it Black“ a cover by Ciara, but I highly recommend listening to it while reading shadow and bone (especially in the first book)

If you want me to write down all the songs, because you do not have Spotify, you can write me and I will do it as fast as possible.

Once King Nikolai is deposed, Vadik Demidov will be crowned and we will petition—”

“Demidov will be a Fjerdan puppet.”

“What do we care for politics of that kind?”

“You’ll care when they stack Grisha on the pyre.”

“Grisha?”

Aleksander had to work to hide his anger. “Was not the Darkling a Grisha?”

“He was a Saint. There is a difference. What has come over you, Yuri?”

Aleksander smiled, regrouping. “Forgive me. I only meant that we may still find new followers among the Grisha.”

Chernov clapped him on the back. “A worthy goal once the war is over.” 

He contemplated tearing Chernov’s arm from its socket.

Sasha has a patience of a goddamn Saint.
