Lindsey really just always finds a way to insert herself into the conversation. Her ig activity lately and the stuff she just tweeted - it's all just either subtly protecting her bestie over at Head FIS or reminding people of how much she has suffered.

My family knows I have an obsession with Sun Wukong (The Monkey King) but they think it's Sun Wukong (The Great Sage Equal to Heaven From Actually Chinese Mythology) and don't know it's actually Sun Wukong (The Lego Monkey from Lego Monkie Kid) and at this point I'm too scared to correct them

The Hard Way
(aleksander morozova x fem!reader)
-
Imaginably so, it took someone of great significance in one way or another to catch the eye of the Black General. So that’s why it was such a shock to see such an ordinary person on his arm. 
At the time of your meeting, you had been working as one of the Royal Family’s seamstresses and you’d been tasked with making a very important coat for a very important gala for a very important general. His first impression of you was admittedly not the best, and neither was the second or third, and he was often found ranting to anyone who would listen about the petulant little seamstress that wouldn’t apologize for sticking him with a needle during fittings and would instead tell him to man up. This, he was not used to, and it stunned him a bit. Surely you knew who he was and you had to have known that he happened to command respect and attention with his position and power. And to be fair, you did. You knew very well who General Kirigan was and you knew very well that he was capable of some very unsavory things, but you simply did not care.
And that intrigued him. Very, very much. 
So much so that he began to seek you out even after you’d finished making the (very beautiful) coat for him, to converse with you. It started out as little arguments back and forth, and it grew into little stories about yourself and small fragments of his life and what bothered him on a daily basis, and nearly a year into your little friendship with the General, you knew that you’d fallen for him, and he was very aware of the fact that he’d also fallen for you. 
You were the first one to speak about your feelings for him, as he simply could not believe anyone could ever want to be around him with nothing to gain except for his favor and the gift of his presence, so when you told him one night after he’d returned from a two week long check in with the troops near The Fold, he could hardly believe you. But he had to, when it came down to it, because when did you ever really care that he was… Him? From there, the two of you only became closer, and eventually he had made it very well known to the King that you were no longer a seamstress for him and his family, but rather a permanent resident of The Little Palace.
Now nearly three years into your relationship, your presence- just as his- commanded respect. Everyone knew exactly who you were and exactly how you were to be treated. Like an absolute queen.
You now sat in your shared bedroom with only your underclothes and a black satin robe on, perched silently in the armchair in your bedroom, reading a book. Your reverie was soon broken by a knock on your door and you slowly tore your eyes away from your book and set it aside, pulling your robe tightly closed before you glanced up at the door.
“Please, come in.” you called and watched as the door swung open to reveal Genya, who walked inside with a large box and closed the door with her foot.
“He’s returned. The General. I figured you’d want to dress yourself and come greet him. He’s brought company.” she stated and laid the box down on the foot of your bed, “It’s nothing fancy. Just a new dress.” she added and motioned delicately to the box on your bed.
You gave the girl a grateful smile as you stood up and you gave her a nod, “Yes. the Sun Summoner. It’s all anyone has talked about for the past two days. Thank you for the dress, Genya.” you replied softly and walked towards the bed. You opened up the box to reveal that the dress was in fact, nothing fancy as Genya had promised and you held the simple silk gown up to examine it and you gave her a little nod, “It’s lovely. Thank you, again.” you said kindly and she gave you a little nod before slipping out of the bedroom.
Once she had gone, you hurriedly dressed yourself in the black dress that had been left for you and you sat down next to the door and in a rush, clumsily yanked on and laced up a pair of boots before you stood and crossed the room to yours and Aleksander’s wardrobe, grabbing out a cloak, not quite sure at this point whether it was his or yours, and you hardly had the mind to care. You simply wanted to see him after missing the man for nearly three weeks now. You ran back to the door and in passing, glanced into a hanging mirror and decided you looked presentable enough before you dashed out the door, fumbling while you ran to get the cloak on. You finished getting the cloak on- which you had quickly found was indeed one of his once you saw it pool on the floor beneath you- just in time to make your way out the doors and down to the courtyard to see your lover dismounting his horse and helping a girl climb off of the animal as well, who you rightfully assumed was the Sun Summoner.
You stood back for just a moment so he could collect his bearings, but the moment he looked up and your eyes met his, all bets were sorely off. You ran towards him as fast as your legs could take you through the gravel and he bent down just a bit to your level and opened up his arms widely. Once you reached him, you launched yourself into his embrace and wrapped your arms around his neck. He wasn’t usually one for displays of affection around everyone, but he’d happily indulge you in times like this when he’d been gone long enough for his absence to become an ache to the both of you. You could hear him inhale sharply as he buried his face in your hair, his arms winding around your waist as he drew you close to him.
“You’re wearing my cloak.” he commented, obviously amused by this.
You simply huffed out a ‘yes’ and closed your eyes as you hid your face against his neck, the ache of missing him in your chest melting into a warm feeling of relief and happiness. He was the first to pull away and you followed his lead and he simply motioned towards the girl at his side.
“This is Alina Starkov. She is the Sun Summoner. Alina, this is my y/n.” he introduced and you turned to the obviously very nervous girl and offered your hand to her.
“It’s such a pleasure to meet you. I assure you, you’re in good hands.” you said enthusiastically and motioned up towards your lover who simply took your hand and guided the two of you inside. He spoke to Alina as you walked, but you tuned the two of them out and laid your head against his arm as you walked inside with them. It wasn’t until it had been silent for a moment that you realized Alina had been directed in her own way. You looked up at Aleksander adoringly as the two of you walked and he let go of your hand, only to wrap his arm around your waist, drawing you into his side.
“You are staring at me.” he remarked, an amused smile forming on his lips.
“Well, I better not hear a hint of a complaint. I’ve missed you so much I haven’t known what to even do with myself. Most days I find myself unable to get out of bed and function like a person.” you admitted and he turned to you and swept you into his arms, carrying you the rest of the way to your bedroom, the ends of his enormous cloak that you wore dragging alongside the two of you.
“I am not complaining, my sweet love. I’m merely observing. And you know,” he began, opening up the door to your bedroom, “I have missed you as well.”
-
The weeks following Aleksander’s return were spent mainly in your bedroom or out in the courtyard walking, though the outdoor walks never lasted long as he worried about you catching a cold in the wintery weather and he’d always whisk you back inside before it had even been half an hour. His return had put you less on edge and you were finally able to fall back into your daily habits, and you really couldn’t complain about anything… except for the fact that Alina would follow your lover around like a lovestruck puppy every chance she had. You’d gone riding with them just the other day only to find yourself watching the Sun Summoner all but throw herself at Aleksander. Every time you were nearby, she’d make a point to grab his arm. Every time you’d grab his hand, she would try to lead him away or steal his attention. At first you didn’t want to believe it was on purpose, so you began to make a point of calling Aleksander “my love” and “lover” around her and everyone else, so there was no question about the two of you and your relationship status, but even then she would vie for his attention, and that’s when you realized: she was intentionally trying to show you up.
And when he’d told her his name? You’d let out an audible scoff and caught both of their eyes. Alina’s with a persistent determination and Aleksander’s with a look of confusion mixed with a warning. You decided to sit that ride out and rush back inside, tossing an excuse of ‘just tired‘ behind you as you made your way back into the Little Palace. 
You didn’t go on any more rides with them after that, and you kept your distance from Alina, as well.
It had gone on like this for weeks; at dinners, at trainings, when he was simply checking up on her, even when you were blatantly at his side with your hand possessively clasped within his own, she still made attempts to pull him away.
You’d been dreading the Winter Fete terribly, knowing what it would bring, and you were considering every possible way to find an excuse to get out of it, not wanting to watch Alina sidle up to Aleksander as if she was meant to be by his side. So now the week before the event, you sat in your bed midday, with your back up against the headboard with a book laying between your legs that you weren’t reading, rather you were sulking. The door opening made you shift your eyes upwards and they fell upon the form of Aleksander, who stood with a worried expression on his face.
“No one has seen you since breakfast. I grew worried. Are you sick?” he asked and closed the door behind him, approaching you gracefully. 
He knelt at your bedside and gazed up at you with those big eyes, so dark that often times, you could hardly find his pupil, “I’m not sick.” you replied with the same petulance that he’d become so fond of.
A chuckle made its way out of his mouth and he grabbed your book and set it aside, “Alright then. Why are you sulking in bed, my love?” he asked, as if he was speaking to an irritated child.
You glared down at him and he held his hands up in surrender, “Aleksander,” you began and then you sighed, “It’s stupid. It really is.” you finally said and then looked away from his eyes.
“It cannot be stupid if its’ got you hiding out. The Winter Fete is a week away. Normally before events like this, you’re out criticizing and directing the poor soul making your dress. Then you’re ranting to me about how you wish I’d let you make your own gowns instead.” he remarked and sat down on the bed next to your feet, “So what has you bothered, Pretty?” he asked and reached up to ever so gently take your chin between his fingers.
You studied his face for a moment before sighing and you rubbed your face, “It’s Alina. I know how childish this sounds but she’s always just… tossing herself into your arms every chance she gets, even in front of me! I’m not jealous, I refuse to be so juvenile but she doesn’t stop! It’s so-” you couldn’t even finish your sentence before his lips were capturing yours in a searing kiss. You kissed him back almost immediately, surprised by the sudden intensity of the kiss. When he finally pulled back to allow the two of you to breathe, he only chuckled and shook his head.
“Well, one thing is for certain: I definitely have not kissed Alina like that. Or at all. My love, worry not about her wants and behaviors, for I am yours and yours alone.” he promised and you looked up at him, giving him a bashful nod, “I have been putty in your little hands ever since you impaled my wrist with a sewing needle.” he teased and it was your turn to chuckle.
“I did not impale you, for one, and it is your own fault for moving when I specifically told you to hold still.” You remarked.
To this, he only replied with a hum as he leaned forward to attach his lips to your throat, “My mistake. I never meant to disobey the high and mighty dressmaker.” he teased, but you could barely form a reply as his lips trailed lower down the center of your throat and to the neckline of your dress, “Have I mentioned how much I love it when you wear black?” he asked and slid his hands behind your waist to begin to unlace your dress.
“I think you may have mentioned it a time or two before…” you replied breathlessly and sat up when he tugged you forward and he pulled your dress over your head in one graceful motion. He tossed the garment aside and pulled you away from the headboard to lay you out across the bed, and you reached up to push his heavy kefta off of his shoulders so that it fell onto the floor. Nothing but glances were exchanged between the two of you as he pushed your petticoat up around your waist and he leaned down to press sloppy kisses to your inner thighs, and you bit down on your bottom lip, a soft moan escaping your mouth. The sound egged Aleksander on and he made his way up your inner thighs and reached up with the intention to pull your underwear aside when a knock sounded at the door.
The sound didn’t bother Aleksander and he hooked his fingers in the waistband of your underwear and he gave them a sharp tug when the door swung open and a little laugh was heard, “Aleksander, Genya said you might be in here, but-” when her eyes landed upon you, her jaw dropped and Aleksander quickly moved his head out from between your thighs and he grabbed his kefta off of the floor and tossed it around you in a panic. He turned towards Alina who stood frozen in shock and he blinked a few times.
“Miss Starkov. I believe most people would apologize and leave the room by now.” he said calmly and her eyes darted between the two of you rapidly before her cheeks turned bright red and she blurted out a quiet apology and spun on her heel and left the room, the door slamming shut behind her. 
Aleksander turned back to you and then he clicked his tongue, “Well, that might have solved your problem for you. She quite literally saw my head between your thighs.” he stated with raised eyebrows and you scoffed and threw the kefta at him.
“Well, what are you doing up there?” you asked irritatedly, “get back between them.” you huffed, your cheeks nearly as pink as Alina’s had been, and he eagerly complied.
And he happened to be right. The incident did completely solve your Alina problem, because every time you saw her afterwards, she’d blush and scurry away. Almost every Grisha in the Little Palace had since heard about it, and when you saw Genya the day after, she only smirked at you and rolled her eyes, and from that afternoon forward, Aleksander didn’t seem to mind pulling you a little closer when the two of you were around staring eyes.

Would you want to change anything about Alina's arc or ending?
Other than getting rid of Mal? :p (And since I feel like I always have to note it – I'm discussing book!Alina here)
One of the things I thought was really interesting in canon was Alina's power-hungriness – it's a bit of an atypical storyline for that type of character in that genre, and I really liked it. What I didn't like about it was that it was pretty clear to me that it was the amplifier driving her hunger for power – we see it only once she has the first amplifier, and there's a whole 'I need to complete the set' feeling that does seem to be unrelated to who she as a person is ... except that the narrative punishes her for it anyway. I would have loved to see more of a genuine struggle with herself around her heretofore unrealized desire for power and what she was willing to sacrifice to get it, vs it being this external thing that was forced upon her. I went on a rant a bit ago about how there was a big missed opportunity for this with the stag, given the whole 'mercy' setup, and yeah. While I love her internal conflict, I wanted it to be around things that were more inherent to her, or things I cared more about (I did not care about Mal). More agency, and more consequences for the things she does. That's what I want for my girl!!
For the ending ... I mean. The ending felt to me like everything came out of nowhere. If there had been more about Alina not actually wanting power (the power she was punished for!!) and just wanting a quiet life, or if there had been some reasonable way that a heartrender could have brought Mal back to life, or even a way that she could have gotten Mal's power without his bones welded around her body, I would feel differently about it. These are common complaints though, so I don't want to belabor it. I think a tragedy would have been a fine ending – Mal dead, Aleks dead, Alina's powers gone – with a hint of starting to rebuild.

Hello to you, my good people of Tumblr!
This is a little get to know me post. I'm Priyasha, 14 turning 15 in two months, and I'm Indian from South Africa
I have just recently changed my blog up a bit regarding the theme and username. I am still the same aleks-kirigan I was, just a little more aesthetic.
I write for Draco Malfoy, Kaz Brekker, Aaron Warner, James Potter, Regulus Black, Aleksander Morozova and Mattheo Riddle (so far)
I'm OBSESSED with Sunseeker and Wolfstar at the moment, so if you need someone to rant to, I'm always available.
Also, if you're having a hard time, I'm always open for a chat. I know the world is a scary place, and we all need someone to talk to sometimes, whether we know them or not.
Thank you lovies! <3

I haven't read nikolai duology but I'm tempted to, after hearing that aleks comes back and has a pov. I do think it's cheap and a lot of things that happen in kos & row feel like the author is showing alina's entire journey a middle finger which is.....idk but why would any writer undermine their own character like that?
Anyway, sorry for the rant I just wanted to know about zoya and what to expect from her. I've heard she becomes a queen and much powerful than she was in the og trilogy and I just want to know HOW?? idc about the spoilers lol just that how did end the persecution of grisha in ravka and beyond?
Don’t.
If you like Sasha, just download it somewhere for free, or borrow the book in library and read his chapters in RoW plus Ch. 14, where he meets Alina.
The duology’s pure trash. LB treats the reader like an idiot. It feels like she heard people bitching about Alina’s shitty arc and passive personality and decided she hates her now, almost as much as the Darkling.
Zoya’s the result. Badass bitch™ in the way modern pop culture likes. She’s mean, but everyone adores her. She’s cruel, but her sad sobstory and rows of “unjustly murdered” friends excuse that. She’s retconned into occasionally Suli, so her status of POC makes her the Queen in metaphorical sense, her title of war hero (What for?!) the best person for mythical Avatar dragon-shapeshifting powers and all of it, plus the fact she’s female peasant in early-industrial patriarchy, makes her the Queen in literal sense. Don’t think about it too hard, your head would hurt very, very much.
Most of the problems is either solved magically in totally illogical way, or by the Darkling, who’s still irredeemable evil- never forget that! He’s not the only character done dirty, don’t worry. For example Nikolai’s personality’s taken away and replaced with his dick pointing at Zoya. That’s how she acquires the crown btw. He just hands it over, while incredibly unrealistic crowd cheers her name. That’s obviously the end of Grisha oppressssswhaaaat?! Totally unsuited overpowered Grisha on the throne. Everything’s fine now. Crops saved, skins cleared and sold to highest bidder etc. (Wanna buy a slave? voluntarily working, unpaid magic Small Science-user? You can replace firewood with them, once you don’t need them!)
Here’s another ask I got shortly after finishing those books, when my nightmarish memories were still fresh. Basically what’s wrong with it in a nutshell.

Personal opinion only.. But.. I don't think people who are super wealthy should be promoting their Friends/Family's GoFundMe's. Thomas makes around 300k (Rounding down for benefit of the doubt) a year from his main channel alone and he gets 220k from his Patreon yearly. Half a Million dollars a year and he promotes a friend's Top Surgery fund?
Markiplier did a similar thing when his niece passed away a few years ago and his brothers family wanted help to pay for funeral cost's and to help them have money while they grieved without having to worry about going to work. Mark set a 10k goal and the GoFundMe is still accepting donations to this day and has around 75k donated to it.
Now I know comparing Mark to Thomas isn't quite fair as Mark makes 36 Million a year. But the fact that they both have the means to comfortably afford to help someone yet they ask their communities to do it just rubs me the wrong way. I'm in no way saying this person doesn't deserve to get their Surgery. A lot of people in the Trans community are desperate for this and thousands will never get to have it done because they can't get the money for it.
I'm not speaking from a place of jealousy mind you as I am not Trans myself. I just think promoting one person's Fundraiser over everyone else's is kinda douchy of him. It's going to hit it's goal quite quickly and will go well past the asked for amount and I have a feeling the person it's for will raise the Donation amount even higher for "Other" reasons.
If it was a Fander who caught Thomas's attention and he shared more than one person's Fundraiser I would have 0 issues with this. But he isn't being fair.
God this turned into a nonsense rant. I apologize for that. I just get so much Anxiety when Influencers do shit like this.. 🐸
i am not trans so i can’t speak much when it comes to uncomfortable feelings due to this. however, i do think this situation is way more complicated than just Thomas having some responsibility to share either every gofundme he is sent or none, and to pay for his friend’s surgery himself.
my entire thoughts under the cut:
like. first of all. what Thomas does with his money is entirely up to him. we don’t know how much of what he earns from youtube and patreon and other sources actually goes to his pocket after paying for the crew, the writers, the office rent, the props, the equipment, etc. and after he has paid for those things destined to the youtube channel, whatever he has left for himself is his own money and he decides what to do with it.
also we don’t know Thomas nor Aleks personally, and we don’t know what their relationship is like. how can you be sure that Thomas didn’t offer to pay for the surgery and then Aleks rejected it? not everyone is willing to accept such big sums of money from a single person. or how can you be sure that Thomas isn’t paying already for something another person in his life needs, without being public about it? and therefore doesn’t have the money right now for this, too? how can you be sure what Thomas and Aleks have or haven’t discussed about this topic?
also it was Aleks who set up that gofundme. i would find it weird if Thomas was like “hey. i want to donate 10k to this thing, so i made this donation fund for you to help me.” then i would raise an eyebrow and think why don’t you just make the donation yourself. but this is a very different situation.
this is something very personal and exclusively between those two people and no one else. because the people donating are just donating, not paying in exchange for details about Aleks’ transition or any other personal information. and we can’t assume what is going on further than what they let us know. i think it’s unfair to assume the worst of someone we don’t know.
same goes for assuming Aleks is going to take advantage of the situation in some selfish way and pocket donation money that surpassed what he needed for his surgery. we don’t know why he chose the 10k goal, if he moves the goal up we won’t know his reasons, and we can’t assume they’re greedy or selfish. i can see how we can have a parasocial relationship with Thomas and pretend that we know he’s capable of donating a certain amount of money, but if that’s not a right thing to do, then it’s even less okay to make worse assumptions about Aleks, of whom we barely know the name and have seen his appearance in a couple pictures and videos. we know absolutely nothing about his personal life and financial decisions and it should stay that way.
also, Thomas signed up to be a comedian and artist on youtube, sharing every fund he comes across is not his responsibility. i personally think it’s perfectly understandable that he only shares donation funds when they’re for a friend of his. he knows where the money is going and it’s for a person close to him that he wants to support. being a public figure doesn’t mean you have to help everyone and it’s not immoral to have different standards for your friends and family than for your fans.
i understand that it’s hard to see someone else will probably get the money they need easily just because they happen to be friends with someone popular, specially when you are also in a situation where you could use that money. but that doesn’t mean the whole thing is wrong, or that the people involved are evil for having this advantage in a bad system. (i think the real issue here is the fact that anyone needs to set up a donation fund to pay for gender affirming surgery)
Thomas has a big privilege when it comes to money, among other things, he is aware of it and. i am not an authority on this because i’m clueless about many things, but. i personally think he’s doing a good job at being aware of his privilege and using it to uplift voices of others. he has chosen to use his position to uplift voices of diverse queer people, which is good. one can’t be an activist for every single problem ever. he has found his niche and that is creating art about being queer with queer people for other queer people. and i think that’s a good enough use of his money and time.
