It genuinely frustrates me when people ship character’s with their abuser.

Particularly when the character’s entire storyline is about escaping an abusive relationship.

Particularly when the abusive relationship was founded on grooming.

Particular when the ship only exists because the reader thinks the abuser is hot, and is using the protagonist as a self-insert.

I don’t attack people over what they ship, I never have and I never will, you can ship those kind of fictional ships if you want, no, seriously, go ahead, I won’t stop or judge you, but I am asking you to be aware. Be aware that they’re unhealthy. Be aware that the ship you like was never going to be “endgame” by the author. Be aware that you have no right to bully or belittle anyone who doesn’t ship what you ship, particularly if it’s abusive. Just be aware. That’s all.

Another day of me thinking that when Aleksander said "Will you have it, Alina?" he probably meant "Will you have my heart?"

I actually like it when ships hurt each other in long lasting and unforgiveable ways. I like it when they leave vicious, glaring scars. I like when they leave traumas. I like when they stab each other and torture each other and ruin each other’s lives and violate every inch of each other’s values. and I like it when they fucking kill each other permanently dead.

Netflix canceling Shadow and Bone season 3 and not doing a Six of Crows spin-off has got to be one of their dumbest decisions in the past 4 years. It is one of their most popular tv shows and was ranked 1st for weeks after season 1 and 2 dropped around the world. At this point, Netflix is just asking to lose everything because they have continuously canceled the most popular TV shows and try to replace them with really shitty ones.

But, I am so grateful to Leigh Bardugo, all the directors, producers, writers, costume designers, set crew, and literally every single person involved for bringing it all to life and putting their entire beings into making it as perfect as it is.

And of course I will always forever love every single actor for making all my favorite characters walk right off the pages and bring tears to my eyes.

Why do you not like Ben Barnes as The Darkling?

For two main reasons:

It was pure fan service which I hate. Like the same way you see Timothée Chalamet being casted everywhere or being fancasted for every potential role, they put Ben on this role to attract audiences. It was pure marketing and it was obvious that they never thought: "Does that role suit him? Does he look like the Darkling? Can his acting persuade others that he is the Darkling?" (I say "no" to every question)

The role didn't suit him for me. He physically didn't look anything like him and his demeanor or acting reminded me nothing like him.

And generally I didn't like the show version because:

He was too emotional. Literally he was getting teared up every five minutes. When the creators said "We want to make him human" they meant "We'll only make him too human" and that kind of acting took away the gravity from important scenes (like the name reveal scene or his death). For the audience it was just another emotional scene but for the readers those scenes in the books were special and utterly heartbreaking because they could glimpse his human side that apparently still existed inside of him.

He was too much of a simp. Book!Darkling always had pride and even though indirectly he tried to beg for her help and understanding, he never threw himself at her feet (the only times he kinda did was in his emotionally vulnerable moments which were rare but precious). Show!Darkling was well... Wasted but not with the cutie meaning of the word. It became his whole personality.

(actually the name reveal scene doesn't even exist in the series)

#Ben also liked a post where someone called the Palestinians “collateral damage” so that made me despise him as a person too #but that's not the main reason I didn't like him as the Darkling #in my opinion this role just wasn't for him #shadow and bone #the darkling #aleksander morozova #grishaverse #anti ben barnes
