THE ARCHIVES - PROLOGUE

July 2nd 1916

Jean Farley’s B5 brown ankle boots clattered down the marble corridor of the Archives. Tapestries depicting the stories of great heritage warriors and soldiers- battling and fighting illustrated monsters to protect their sacred Earth - blurred past as she kept up her fast stride to the atrium of the underground structure. For Centuries, the Archives had thrived in its duty to protect the humans of the world. Collecting and protecting magical and legendary artefacts and books and weapons that could perish the world in the wrong hands. For hundreds of years, the Heritages (the people of the Archives, gifted with a power that ran down in families) had laid down their lives to protect and save the Earth from unearthly creatures. And now the only thing threatening the Earth: the people on it.

Shadow and bone rant because I have serious concerns for the people under the tumblr tag.. spoilers

I’m the first one to defend a villain, especially if it’s Ben Barnes, they tend to be more interesting characters with a personality.But you can not defend the darkling.

Everything the darkling did, tv show and book from scene one was manipulation to get what he wanted (expand the fold). He’s not the first villain to use romance to get what he wants and normally I love that trope IF it involves a morally grey character. Not a straight up evil character.

The darkling does so many things to claim Alina as he feels entitled to he as they’re both summoners. Starting with the kefta colours, knowing how she felt about it, he still pushed her to wear the black kefta and not the blue (she does end up with the black kefta but it’s her choice to wear it).

Multiple darkling stans find the scene where he tricks Mal into telling him alinas favourite flowers and then uses this information to ‘woo’ her, cute and iconic. It’s not cute or iconic. It’s basic manipulation.

Then he actually collars her! Like mutilates her body with the stag antlers against her will all so he can have control over her and her powers. When she calls him out on it, he still tries to manipulate her, telling her lies and lies and repeating how much lonely they both were, and how much they depend on each other, right up until the last ten minutes when his true plans are revealed.

He spends 8 episodes and a full book telling Alina how they are equal and they can rule together. And then proves they aren’t by stripping her of her will and putting her in impossible situations and forcing her to make impossible decisions and then blaming her for everything that was going wrong.

The tiny backstory we had was supposed to make us feel sorry for the darkling and give us the reason why he did what he did. And yeh it gave him a reason to create the fold - you could justify that. But you can’t justify what he did the Alina and genya and zoya and Mal.

Edited:::

@grishaverse-oddity made a great comment under the post that NEEDS to be mentioned:

“And the whole scene with Zoya and the Darkling in his room, where they explicitly state that he groomed her since she arrived in the Little Palace and used her as stress relief, in the books they only ever hint at it not flat out state it”

Would yall read this book??

When Abel Sawyer is framed for murder by Chicago’s biggest gang, Gods Among Kings, bartenders at a dive bar for drop outs and misfits are thrown into a world of depts, crime, violence, passion, and hitmen as they fight to prove the innocence of their friend. But the more secrets they reveal, the more lies are created. They soon come to realise that enemies can be friends, friends can be family, and family can be enemies…

Or

New girl meets Peeky Blinders in a story where the main characters are Chaotic Gen Z and start a fight with a deadly gang because they’ve got nothing to loose..

“I’m a Law dropout living off shared tips and black coffee, with anxiety levels higher than my student loans. You’ve threatened the life of the guy who pays me, and the lives of those I care for in this damned world. Fire at will.”
