"I didn’t know whether to laugh or scream."

Siege and Storm- Chapter 15

Oh nein! Mal has issues! With consequences of his actions he should be grateful for, and his girl not sharing every waking thought with him, when her worst worries spring from his most hated topics- the Darkling and her role in politics.

And Alina once again feels responsible for his feelings.

Yeah, this would have a bit more weight, if Alina didn't do it only for appearances' sake. Or if she granted the position due to merit, not random pick of what she views as the lowest low. Or if she didn't continue speaking as if she were a narrator of wildlife documentary, describing a new species of animal that just appeared.

Not necessarily, but it's one of Alina's less far-fetched deductions.

Aleksander could've been aware of David's fascination with Morozova's work. He could've picked the most skilled in bonework or the one most experienced in forging amplifiers- they're supposed to be rare, so not many Fabricators will have that.

*mumbles* And somehow we're to believe this pragmatic man chose to follow Alina, because... ? She's the good one, or whatever?!

*chants* Double agent Kaminsky, double agent Kaminsky!

Alina: Why would you want to kill this man! How horrible! At least question him first!

She would make a delightful morally flexible character, if she were acknowledged as such, and embracing that quality.

Says who? Zoya?

He KeEpS mE So BuSy!

Saints, Alina, you can't believe everything people say about themselves!

Alina: I'm not sure my three months of training are enough, but I can do like two things with my powers, so let's focus on increasing them further AND on the mythical forbidden art that created my goal no. 1 in the first place. I bet nothing can go wrong...

Only signing? Not reading to get into picture? And who prepares them?!

Bureaucracy, baby!

Welcome to responsibility!

I would sympathize with Alina much more, if she showed genuine interest in those she doesn't know. If her motivation weren't merely "Do the opposite of (what I think) the Darkling did". I she truly believed in her own philosophy.

Shocking!

People forced to sit next to half-strangers they're not used to interact with, create unpleasant atmosphere!

My work experience considered- you're lucky there's no visible enmity- you could've made the wrong people sit next to each other and tableware could've ended up in wrong bodyparts.

Also: How is Nadia sitting next to Marie? I thought breaking up already existing friend groups was a point of this whole exercise.

They're not gifts, Nikolai. They're just your father's property, but let's remember the Darkling didn't wait for the Queen to request a specific one's service, and turned it into a gesture of his own thoughtfulness. Fuck his strategems!

Alina's misplaced sensibilities are incredibly frustrating.

She wants to lead Second Army, but not order them, not assign them tasks directly, because that would somehow make her a bad person, instead of efficient leader.

What if no one will volunteer? What if weak, incompetent Squallers will? You don't look at special assignment and think- Yeah, whoever wants to do it... You PICK the most capable person with both sufficient skills AND suitable personality.

Awwww!

Poor granny deserves an Oscar!

JUST FINISHED SHADOW AJD BONE SEASON 1 OMGGGG I HAVE THOUGHTS OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS BELOW

1. Please tell me Mal and Alina officially get together in season 2 cause they are so adorable

2. Jesper is a precious, badass absolute disaster of a bisexual and if something happens to him I will cry

3. Actually ditto for all the Crows but especially Inej

4. Nina is a badass I can't wait to see more of her in season 2 I loved her relationship with Matthias apart from not really being able to get past the whole "captor/captive" dynamic that bits definitely weird

5. I find it incredibly funny that the way the most feared Grisha in all of Ravka "dies" is getting chomped by a volcra that felt very anticlimactic.

6. The twist that everyone saw coming, he's alive! Cause we need a big bad for season 2! Also he can do funky stuff with the Fold now ooo

7. Also Kirigan and Alina are connected now?? I really hope that plays in at some point in s2 cause that's a really interesting idea

8. Are we gonna find out about the other amplifier creatures or is the big horn deer our limit??

9. Genya was my favourite character until she betrayed Alina and honestly she still kinda is we support women's rights and women's wrongs here /hj

10. What happened to Bahgra? She just disappeared off the face of the earth after like episode 4 or smth and I really liked her 😭😭

im sorry but this is the funniest scene in the whole show. mal looking like he woke up from the worst nap ever, alina acting like she didn't just do the ONE thing she promised not to do and nina doing kaz's bombastic sideeye because that was not natural
