In your recent post about the Darklina ship, you mentioned that you felt that the characters in the Shadow and Bone trilogy fell flat. I feel like in the years between Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows Leigh's writing really improved. Do you think that the ships and characters in Six of Crows also fell flat or do you like them better?
hello anon! I’m glad you brought this up because I 100% agree! I guess part of the reason why shadow and bone fell so flat to me is because I read six of crows before lol. I remember reading six of crows (the first grishaverse book I read) and being absolutely amazed by the writing, the plot, the characters. I was and still am in love with the way she writes now, especially in six of crows. And then I read shadow and bone, and... well, I expected a little too much. Which is completely okay! I agree, anon, Leigh Bardugo’s writing has improved so much and I love it. The characters in six of crows are complex and so easy to fall in love with. And I’m pretty much a sucker for kanej :) I’m just so soft for the way Inej makes Kaz want to be a better person 🥺. I’m not sure I would credit that to her improving her writing though? Since I’ve pretty much been a nikolai stan since day one (other than his one-sided relationship with alina, but i mean, i understand it).

darklina
hehe i actually reblogged a post a couple of weeks ago, so if you saw that you probably know my thoughts on darklina... anyway
Tumblr media
I just really, really dislike this ship. The only way I could ever be okay with it is if we threw canon completely out the window and created a completely new darkling character that’s cardan greenbriar-esque (love him)- aka, acts like a violent, dangerous person BUT is actually a soft teddy bear in love with a girl who he would do anything for and releases poor mortals secretly so they can escape their horrible lives under his torturous brother. I feel the need to point out that this is NOT the darkling- i mean, it’s actually kind of the opposite. He acted like a soft teddy bear (well, not really, more like a nice, unassuming dude), but is actually a violent dangerous person who did so many bad things I can’t even count them.
Firstly, he’s just a horrible person. Like, the worst. He hurts people and kills people without remorse, even the ones closest to him. I mean, just look at his mother, look at nikolai, look at alina.
And then to go a step further and romanticize alina and the darkling’s relationship? That relationship was twisted I mean he emotionally, physically, and mentally abused her throughout all three books, and if zoya thinks he’s horrible, I have to think he’s horrible.
I guess I should also say I don’t ship mal and alina- I don’t really ship anyone with anyone, since all the characters (minus nikolai and zoya at the end!) fell a little flat to me. That being said, compared to the Darkling, the guy seems alright. Sure, mal might be super annoying and stupid at times, but at least he didn’t, oh i don’t know, completely ruin Alina’s whole freaking life and murder a bunch of people?? Anyway I just think that darklina is a super toxic ship and I hope they don’t romanticize it in the upcoming show.
I guess I would be open to a redemption arc, but this guy is gonna have to do a whole lot to repent for his sins.
King of Scars spoilers below (for anyone who hasn’t read it yet)
Of course, the darkling’s storyline isn’t over thanks to the wonderful ending of King of Scars, so maybe Leigh Bardugo will give him a redemption arc. It would take a whole lot though bc literally no one will trust him after what he’s done... and also if he does get a redemption arc, I’d rather him not drag alina into the mess. She’s living her peaceful life somewhere in the woods (I think lol it’s been some time since I’ve last read the series).
Anyway, this is getting terribly long so I’ll just end this here lol basically, darklina is definitely a notp for me

so i just saw your malec quote post and I was wondering if you could bless us with more of your favorites??
oh gosh I have so many and I probably forgot half of them
“He [Magnus] had been through a hundred heartbreaks, but he found himself afraid when he thought of Alexander Lightwood breaking his heart. He did not know how this boy with the messy black hair and the worried blue eyes, with his steady hands and rare sweet smile that was less rare in Magnus’s presence, had acquired such power over him.” --“What To Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything” from The Bane Chronicles
“‘So I’m your first ever Shadowhunter, huh?’ Alec said when they separated at last. ‘You’re my first so many things, Alec Lightwood,’ Magnus said.” -- City of Heavenly Fire
And this one from before Alec and Magnus had even met, when Maryse and Robert were still in the Circle:
“‘I am fighting for a better world for myself and my son,’ said the woman called Maryse. ‘I have no interest in the world you want,’ Magnus told her. ‘Or in your doubtless repellent brat, I might add.’ --“The Last Stand of the New York Institute” from The Bane Chronicles
like the irony, lol... in like two decades you won’t think of him as repellant, magnus
“‘Hold on to me,’ Alec said, and Magnus gave him the sort of smile that made Alec feel like someone had taken an apple corer to his heart and tried to dig out the center. ‘I always do, Alexander,’ he said. ‘I always do.’”  -- City of Heavenly Fire
“Speaking of hope, did you see the shot Alec got off with his bow? That’s my boyfriend.” -- Magnus Bane, City of Lost Souls
“Magnus raised his head and looked up and over at Alec; it was a look that made Clary flush and glance away. There was so much love in it, mixed with exasperation and pride and despair. It was an unguarded look, and it felt wrong to see it.” -- City of Heavenly Fire
“‘All I did was think about being worthy of coming home to you,’ said Alec. ‘It was nothing much.’ There was silence. Alec turned, a little concerned, to find Magnus staring at him. That surprised look was on his face again, and there was a softness along with it that was rare for Magnus. ‘What?’ said Alec. ‘Nothing, you stealth romance attacker,’ Magnus said. ‘How do you always know what to say?’” -- “The Land I Lost” from Ghosts of the Shadow Market
In case people are wondering why there are none from the dark artifices, I swear I can’t remember a single detail of that series lol. Also this really makes me want to make a compilation of magnus bane quotes bc anything he says is absolutely golden
anyway, consider yourself blessed, anon (or anyone who reads this)! feel free to add your own favorites :)

“Underneath he was wearing a tunic shirt shimmering with gold thread, and loose ratty gray sweatpants. ‘Are those sweatpants mine?’ ‘Yes,’ said Magnus. ‘I missed you.’ ‘Oh,’ said Alec.”

@tyrianlynch​ a literal masterpiece of a trc prompt hidden in the tags:
Tumblr media
3am
Gansey: you know what I never understood?
Gansey: Genies. They tell you to wish for anything you want and then they add some terrible twist
Gansey: Like you wish to jump high, so he turns you into a frog
Gansey: What- why? Who gains from this? The genie? Where’s the benefit?
Ronan: the whole world would benefit if YOU were turned into a frog
Gansey:
Gansey: so you know a genie?
