Jacks Not Only Managed To Fuck Up His Future But Also His Past

Jacks not only managed to fuck up his future but also his past

people who hate darklina dni like this post ain't for you but one thing that i am toying like a cat with yarn is the fact that Sankta Neyar has portend Alina's continued longevity as a life filled with suffering and loss. the question of what will happen to her as she outlives her own myth, in kaz's words 'usefulness', and becomes the most powerful grisha in the world who isn't bound to any man's law?

what will happen when the ravkans who love her turn on her? when ravkan royalty protect her only because she protects them? the only natural reaction to that kind of power is fear. she doomed herself into being an enforcer to an antiquated social system and maintainer of the status quo. her consolidated power can now be used as a tyrannical force for good. the existential angst being overburdened by freedom. perpetual violence as a means of survival. Alina unmaking the Darkling's image of her and creating her own, haunted by the ghosts of a failed revolution.

Wait that would mean he’s the youngest sibling, idk why felt the end to me mention it as I realized

It was never elaborated on in the show so i must mention it here. Aleksander has siblings. I think most of the people in this fandom know this anyway but this is for those who don’t.

Baghra didn’t just happen to have one child who inherited her powers off the bat. She had been trying to have a child for one, maybe two, reasons, and they were that she was 1. bored 2. wanted a child with her powers so she could basically control them too.

She had many kids who didn’t have her powers, and abandoned them, until she had Aleksander, who she kept (and very obviously abused.)

I see posts saying how she’s such a girlboss and a good mother for some reason, but a woman who abandons all the children who aren’t useful to her, and manipulates and abuses the one that is, is neither of those things.

Can’t believe people on Twitter hate Fruzsi (the tide maker on Darkling’s side) couldn’t be me

"It hurts, Jacks."

"I know, love. I'm going to take you somewhere safe."

"I know, love."

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that the one and only time he calls her "love" is in the presence of the TRUTH STONE. You know, the stone that compels him to only speak the TRUTH.

Look I know Jacks is like this morally grey character that's borderline villainous and on top of that he's a Fate, but I still get so shocked whenever I realise how manipulative he is
