The Darkling - Tumblr Posts
Thinking about how 17 year old Kaz Brekker could determine that Sturmhond was the King of Ravka within two minutes of meeting him, yet the Darkling (thousand year old immortal) could not discern that even after TWO WEEKS on a ship with him. Not to mention that Kaz had never even seen Nikolai’s face and the Darkling had literally met him before?!?

summary: He leaned closer to you, his lips mere millimeters from yours. “You’re mine, y/n, mine. And nobody’s else’s.”
A sweet giggle left your mouth at something the inferni in front of you said; a dumb, yet entertaining story that you’d been listening to for fifteen minutes straight. Truth be told, you didn’t have the slightest idea of who the man in front of you was, but he surely made your evening a little bit more pleasant, after Aleksander had to go to some kind of “top secret Grisha meeting” and left you alone in the ballroom.
He was supposed to accompany you and make this a great night for both of you, yet, as he always said, “duty called” and he needed to leave. Therefore, you’d made yourself busy talking to people you barely knew, completely oblivious to the fact that your lover had already entered the scene; his eyes staring daggers at you and your new acquaintance, and his hands clutching a glass of wine so tightly, that he almost crushed it.
His jaw clenched and he was sure he’d explode if he stood there for a minute longer, so with a steady pace, he marched over to where you stood; his head high and a confident expression on his face.
“Hello, y/n,” he spoke sedately and coolly, no anger laced in his voice, but as your eyes locked on his, you saw a burning fire of fury in them. “Having fun, I see”
You were about to respond when you felt his hand on your shoulder; not a harsh grip, yet it radiated undoubted power as he pulled you closer to him. The inferni politely averted his gaze, looking in another direction in fear of disrespecting the dark general as Aleksander turned to whisper to you; his teeth grazing your ear.
“You’ve been a very naughty girl tonight, y/n.”
You would’ve lied if you said his words didn’t affect you; actually, his actions shouldn’t have made the wetness between your legs grow as much as it did. Almost in a trance, you let him grab your hand, leading you away from the party; his destination undoubtedly his chambers.
He paid none of the other people any attention, solely focused on opening the door to his room and pushing you inside, before locking the door. It didn’t take him long to grab you by your wrists and push you against a wall, his visibly erected cock lightly pressing against your inner thigh.
“What was that, huh? You thought you could just flirt with a random stranger while I was gone? You thought it was cute to act like a little slut all night?” he leaned closer to you, his lips mere millimeters from yours. “You’re mine, y/n, mine. And nobody’s else’s.”
Before you got the chance to reply, he crashed his lips onto yours, kissing you hungrily and his hands moved to your shoulders. He pushed you in the direction of his bed, biting your lower lip in the process and earning a small moan from you. With a rough movement, he tore off your dress and ripped off one of the straps.
Not that you cared. How could you, when his dark eyes were staring at you with so much passion, his hands working to undress you completely. When you were naked, vulnerable in front of him, he pushed you down on the bed, crawling on top of you with almost a mocking smile, his eyes scanning your body hungrily.
Slowly, Aleksander put his hand up to cup your cheek, tilting his head to the side with a pout. “So beautiful,” he whispered, yet again not failing to make your pussy throb with excitement.
You gasped as the heat of his finger was replaced with cold from his ring touching you, and he smirked at your reaction, dragging the ring painfully slow over your sensitive skin, bringing it down to your neck and pressing down slightly. A hiss left your mouth at the sensation and you closed your eyes, ravishing at the moment.
“Oh, Aleksander,” You breathed when the ring moved downwards, a stripe of coldness on your naked body as his hand made its way down to your breasts, the coolness of his ring mixed with his soft touch making your eyes roll to the back of your head.
He smirked at your reactions to his touch and he ran the ring over your nipples, slowly and calmly, yet making your breath shaky. You felt the strong throbbing between your legs grow by the second, becoming almost unbearable. As you pressed your legs together, Aleksander sent you a smile, bringing the metal ring lower and lower, until he arrived at your lower stomach.
With his hand steady, he moved the ring to your inner thigh, sending a shiver through your body and you left out a shaky breath, grabbing the sheets beside you. The chilling metal was now touching your clit and when he drew a line with it, ever so slightly touching your wetness, you let out an unholy sound; your hips bucked upwards to meet the ring and you yet again moaned at the friction.
“Aleksander, please”
“Please what? Tell me what you want, my star” his tone was confident, mocking, almost, as he spoke.
“Please touch me” you begged him, sending him the most desperate look you could muster, and he smiled at the power you were granting him.
With a chuckle, he pried your legs open, his head centimeters from where you wanted him most. His eyes looked up at you hungrily, before he dived between your legs, his tongue licking a stripe up your cunt. You gasped loudly at the feeling, your hands easily finding their way to his hair and pulling him closer.
You felt his tongue enter you slowly, causing your back to arch and a moan leaving your mouth. It felt like heaven, his mouth working wonders on your pussy, tongue entering and exiting your cunt at a steady pace. Aleksander knew exactly what place to touch, where to be gentle, where to go harsh. His fingers rubbed circles on your clit while he licked you; bringing you closer to the edge with every move.
You were so close; your cunt clenching around his tongue as he touched you, your legs starting to shake, and a feeling of hot ecstasy spreading itself throughout your body. It felt like pure bliss, and you were ready to reach your high, but suddenly Aleksander’s touch disappeared, leaving you hot, bothered, and confused.
“Wha-“
“Patience, my beautiful star,” He spoke with a smile. “Have patience”
You watched him from below as he took off his shirt, then his trousers and underwear, admiring his toned chest and hard member that he stroked a couple of times, before hovering over you again and pressing a chaste kiss to your lips. You could taste yourself on his tongue; a mixture of delight and titillation filled your senses.
“Turn around,” Aleksander mumbled between kisses, and you obeyed, breaking the kiss and rolling onto your stomach.
Aleksander’s strong hands grasped your hips, pulling them upwards so you were on all fours and you let out a moan when he pressed his hard cock against your butt. Satisfied with your reaction, he let his hand roughly come in contact with your ass, the spank causing immense rapture to surge through your veins.
You opened your mouth to say something, but before you could utter a word, Aleksander pushed into you from behind, his grip on your hips tightening and sensing waves of pain mixed with bliss throughout your whole body. His ring, which was on his right hand, would probably leave marks on your skin, but truth be told, you didn’t really mind.
He pounded into you at a fast pace, his cock stretching your walls and hitting your favorite spot with each thrust. It was pure euphoria that you felt in that moment, heaven at its finest. As you closed your eyes in pleasure, ravishing in the feeling of him filling you up, Aleksander grabbed a fistful of your hair, pulling your head back and adding onto your enjoyment.
“Look at you, my star” he breathed as he thrust into you harder. “Taking m’cock so well”
His words worked like an amplifier, strengthening your pleasure as well as his and you clenched around his cock, earning a loud groan from him. His metal ring dug harder into your flesh, maybe even cutting through your skin, but all you felt was unexplainable amounts of ecstasy running through your veins.
With a rough thrust, he pushed you over the edge, finally allowing you to reach your orgasm. A loud moan escaped your mouth as you and Aleksander came at the same time, his seed filling up and his thrusts became sloppier and softer. The bliss of reaching your high washed over you in a wave, causing your whole body to shake.
He pulled out of you, exhausted and panting, just like you, and the two of you collapsed on the bed, falling onto the expensive sheets. Your hot body shivered when Aleksander’s ring yet again came in contact with your skin, this time caressing your lips as he lay on your left, his eyes gazing deeply into yours.
“You’re mine, darling,” he mumbled. “Remember that.”

The darkling is so ffs tom riddle coded.
Hey, you! Yes, you! Are you a fan of Our Flag Means Death who's disappointed that the show was cancelled? Good news, we can help each other! I'll sign your petition and spread it around if you do the same with mine! Shadow and Bone was just as unjustly cancelled as Our Flag Means Death, and nothing unites fans more than the cancellation of their favourite shows. So what are you waiting for? Sign the petition, share it, and I will do the same!
His looks? Stunning? His voice? Hot. His moral compass? Questionable. Don't bother telling me who he is, I probably know who you're thinking about and honestly? Same.
Monster from Epic the Musical gives me Darkling vibes and I don't really know how to explain it.
Something I spend a lot of time thinking about is that no one in the Shadow and Bone fandom seems capable of comprehending that Baghra was an abusive piece of shit and The Darkling was even more so.
I've seen people talk about how Baghra's terrible parenting had a profound effect on The Darkling. I've heard people say that The Darkling was a terrible person and completely irredemable. Although I've never seen both statements mentioned relative to each other, both are equally true.
I've also seen people use Baghra's abuse to try and absolve The Darkling of responsibility. These people make it seem like it was inevitable that he groomed Alina, killed and tortured hundreds, orchestrated the conditions that led to Genya's abuse, and did countless other terible things. It was not.
Baghra absolutely abused Alexandr. She absolutely was a terrible person. But she didn't make her son do anything. Every choice The Darkling made was his own.
Also, the people who talk about Baghra's cruelty only ever mention Alexandr. They never mention the countless other children she physically and verbally abused.
None of those children grew up to be war criminals, though they were victims just as much as Alexandr. Being abused doesn't make you make you abuse other people. It's your choices that do.
At the end of the day, Baghra Morozova was a terrible, horrible, abusive piece of shit. But The Darkling was worse than her in every way.
I’m germaphobic but if Ben Barnes spit on me, I would be okay with it.
I swear to god, as soon as I’m finished with Stranger Things finale, I’m canceling my Netflix account.
Your honor I love him
Fair warning any and all post I make for the foreseeable future will be either Captain America and The Winter Soldier(White Wolf), or Shadow and Bone/Six of crows related
Being bi while watching shadow and bone is really annoying because at first you're like

SHADOW AND BONE
kaz during his confrontation with the darkling
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”
the feminine urge to fall in love with the villain.
He was tied to kill her and she him. The enchanting lady of Drăculea and the charming gentleman of Van Helsing. “Be seeing you, blood sucker.” -Alexander Van Helsing-
tbh, I'm kinda scared right now because the darkling looks like a taylor swift fan
