previous anon again, I don't even remember what happened in nikolais book because it bored me to death and every character in it was insufferable and i never bothered with the sequel so what i truly think nikolais braincell or at least whichever one gave him his charm died in sab3 with the darkling

I really disliked the Nikolai duology because it kind of just felt super preachy in a way the original trilogy didn't? I mean, definitely there was some annoying stuff about "power corrupts" and "female ambition = evil" or "you should settle for a guy who takes 3 novels to finally see how amazing you are" or whatever, but you could possibly make a case for bad writing.

The duology is literally just Leigh being like "All the fans hated the ending and the canon romance. They clearly read the book wrong and now I need to make all my protagonists insufferable mouthpieces that tell the reader directly how to interpret other characters, events, and social issues because they're too dumb to have their own opinions on my work, obviously".

It kind of just...took her down a peg in terms of writing talent? Like, the original trilogy was pretty terribly written but then I was really impressed by how much she improved when I finished Six of Crows. But then the duology kind of backpedaled and revealed how really insecure she was about how fans reacted and interpreted the original trilogy? Anyway, the funny thing is that I wasn't really that much of a Darkling stan before but after reading Rule of Wolves, I was like "Damn, this nominal villain works way better as a tragic hero, actually". So her own frantic attempts to control the narrative directly influenced me radically re-interpreting her characters out of pure spite.

For all the CoS(Creatures of Sonaria) players out there.

THIS NEEDS TO STOP. I'm going to keep ranting until the kosing stops.

Yes, I know kosing(Killing On Sight) is a major thing that helps our community keep its balance on the food chain, but, STOP TARGETING PEOPLE WITH ADULT CREATURES!! Not only does it take up my time, but it also forces me to wait until the next day because of school, homework, sleep, AND spending time with family just to grow another creature that takes up two hours of my day! C'mon people! This is starting to get ridiculous. Semi-equatics can't go in the water, land animals can't even go on land without being attacked, flyers can on go on the ground for food and water not rest! I can't even hunt anymore without being called a koser! This is honestly getting annoying and I might just leave the community because of it.

Anyways, that was my rant! Please note this and STOP KOSING FOR YOUR 2 SUBS OR JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT!! Thank you everyone for reading my rant lol.

Isn’t the status of Grisha much worse after TGT. How are the Righteous Gang claiming to be victors/heroes who made others lives better. From my pov, grisha are much worse off while the otkazatsya are in status quo. Also what was wrong with the grisha coming to LP to live. From the books, it seems that none of them had any connection to their parents/relatives. If so that can also mean that their family did not care enough to reach out to them after they left.

Or did the Darkling ban all communications.

I’m sure the Righteous Gang think that all the cons of their dumb decisions are in fact the Darklings fault. You know because he did this or he did that. They do bot think for a single moment that he was the only one doing anything for them. While the soldat sol (shouldn’t they have been doing some charity work in name of their Saint?) and all other grisha did not lift a single finger to elevate the position of grisha in Ravka through ANY means.

Ironically, the Gang's decision to abolish Grisha draft should serve to further alienate Ravkan commoners and destabilize Nikolai's reign.

"... His serfs will get a taste of money and education and start thinking about building lives and businesses of their own instead of praying for their master’s patronage. ... "

King of Scars- Chapter 11

Nikolai had abolished the practice of separating Grisha from their parents. There was no mandatory draft to pull children from their homes.

Rule of Wolves- Chapter 9

The fact they aren't able to offer protection to any Grisha in Ravka, therefore hardly to children scattered all over the country, AND there's no system of home education, therefore these children might either hurt someone by accident or suffer from wasting sickness, aside...

This should be a gigantic legal issue.

(Although there's plenty of questions regarding servitude in general.)

Pre-KoS Grisha automatically became serfs. Their families were compensated financially.

Let's say Grisha are no longer required to move to Little Palace, otherwise everything stays the same. Are there lists of Grisha serfs to keep track of them? And how do they serve? Why should a family that keeps the amount of pairs of working hands get any money? Does it mean that a family of free- albeit poor- peasants, suddenly include a child serf with obligations of their own? Do these "free-range" serfs get personal assignments? That sounds like a whole lot of extra bureaucracy.

The other option is much more disasterous. If Grisha are no longer serfs, there's no reason to pay their families. They should be recorded the same way other free Ravkans are, and these records don't seem to be particularly meticulous:

Another [Ravkan Grisha] had been hidden in a root cellar when the Grisha Examiners arrived to test her. “My mother told them I’d been killed by the fever that had swept through our village the previous spring,” the Tidemaker said. “The neighbors cut my hair and passed me off as their dead otkazat’sya son until I was old enough to leave.”

Siege and Storm- Chapter 7

A year here, a year there... who'll know if the missing Grisha moved away, died or got kidnapped? But don't worry, the worst is yet to come- otkazat'sya (serfs). Why are Grisha freed as soon as three of theirs start whispering their advices into young King's ear (One of them rumoured to be his mistress to boot!), while common Ravkans keep bending their backs under nobility's jeweled slippers!

This is a starving, war-torn country, through which a wave of pogroms swept only a few years back! The hatred won't disappear only because a dead Saint allegedly appointed three of Grisha to what exactly? Represent? Or rule in the puppet-King's stead?

Sure, Nikolai's (strange, innovatory) reforms lead to more food for the poor... BUT- serfs are still property of their owners, unlike Grisha. West was somehow forced to remain with the East- feeding them, losing money to them. Nobles lost some privilages and whoever's not a complete baffoon will figure out they're losing power. Church should be pissed, because their leader got deposed, religious cult with Crown-appointed head took over and Nikolai cut their incomes too! Anyone even slightly distrustful towards Grisha- and that means all through Ravkan social strata- has every reason to believe they are running the country, which no longer means one black boogeyman, but a Suli whore with the King-killer.

_____

Members of Second Army weren't discouraged from staying in touch with their families, quite contrary. To make it more... well, to make it more KoS-ish, we get some specific data from Zoya:

She’d written every week to her aunt and every week received a long, newsy letter back with drawings of chickens in the corners and tales of the interesting traders who came through Novokribirsk.

King of Scars- Chapter 25

Ivan doesn't mention his family in present time, but I'd like to imagine he used to visit his widowed, almost childless mother until she died of old age.

_____

The only reason all those barely adult Grisha are even theoretically allowed to be teenagers, is that they're safe enough, thanks to Aleksander's work.

He was thirteen, but he’d had a hundred names, a new one for every town, camp, and city ... He would have lived next door to a garbage gully if it meant a roof over his head, hot meals, waking up in the same room every morning without his heart hammering as he tried to remember where he was. ... Grisha living in camps and broken-down mines, hiding out in tunnels. ... No safe place. No haven. There will be, he promised in the darkness, new words written upon his heart. I will make one.

Demon in the Wood

If Grisha are faring better at the beginning of Shadow and Bone, it's his doing:

... though it was smaller than the Grand Palace, the “Little” Palace was still huge. It rose from the trees surrounding it like something carved from an enchanted forest, a cluster of dark wood walls and golden domes. As we drew closer, I saw that every inch of it was covered in intricate carvings of birds and flowers, twisting vines, and magical beasts. ... We passed door after door, until finally we reached a chamber where another uniformed maid stood waiting by an open doorway. Dimly, I registered a large room, heavy golden curtains, a fire burning in a beautifully tiled grate, but all I really cared about was the huge canopied bed. “Can I get you anything? Something to eat?” asked the woman.

Shadow and Bone- Chapter 5

While I can "excuse" some of the "heroes"- victim of otkazat'sya brainwashing institution, unloved privilaged kid with saviour complex, bigoted religious fanatics due to questionable parenting, universal punching bag... LB's new best girl's somehow coming out of it as the worst one.

Just the fact Zoya was saved by the very law she didn't mind abolishing, going from starving asset of her own mother to well-fed, respected soldier, who knows what do sable and silks look like... what a horrible life to lead! Such deterioration! If only the Darkling didn't bother trying, she'd be free to scrape along as she pleases!

Centuries worth of Aleksander's efforts are the reason Zoya gets to whine about her suicidal aunt instead of being maritally raped by some ancient creep, or outright dead after getting pregnant way too young.

following up on my post from earlier, I'd like to remind all darkl!ng stans that Nikolai faced all the same problems as king (in the kos duology) that the darkl!ng did, as well as several other new problems (the demon, having to find a wife, etc) and committed ZERO mass murders. your fav could never

I just DNF’d king of scars 100 pages in..I wasn’t strong enough to finish it, hats of to you for even being able to get though it 🫡

I can't even remember which book in the duology I hated more (King of Scars or Rule of Wolves) but they were both insufferable. The only plus was the massive improvement to the writing style from the original trilogy.

Damn I never was an Aqua/Ruby shipper and I don't really care for shipping in OnK, but this is hilarious to me. I just love seeing all the antis coping hard rn and the mental gymnastic they have to do to avoid the incest. It's hilarious to think they got invested for 123 chapters and THIS happened lmao

Even if Aqua/Ruby isn't endgame, you will never take away what Ruby just said on this page. This manga will forever be tainted by the incest xD

I think it's really telling that the only ships I actively dislike and express disdain for in atla are 2 of the 3 canon ships

And sukka isn't one of them.

[stromuprisahat]

Liliyana, one hand pressed to her bleeding head, cried, “You cannot sell her off now! She’s Grisha. It’s against the law. She is the property of the king and will go to school to train.”

King of Scars- Chapter 25

I completely forgot it's clearly stated in books, that yes, indeed, GRISHA ARE SERFS.

So no, it's not just the Darkling whining to Alina to look more sympathetic. Once you're discovered, you don't belong to yourself, your life doesn't belong to you, you have no future outside of what the Crown deems appropriate.

Now how exactly does that work with Nikolai's reforms? Servitude isn't abolished yet, but Grisha draft is. Does that mean there are lists of Grisha outside of military service and Grisha get "appointed" elsewhere?! Are Grisha no longer serfs? Are they (on paper) free citizens now?

If so, the last two should earn them plenty more hatred from both "oridnary" otkazat'sya serfs, who weren't freed yet AND a lot of free otkazat'sya, whose jobs, land and living space will those Grisha now "take". Hell, look into history- any time a new group enters job market, there's a wave of resentment and fear that they'll steal work from locals.

If Nikolai truly freed Grisha before the rest of Ravkan serfs, his actions are counter-productive and likely to work against wide-spread acceptance.

[pinklotusemoji]

something that will always bug me about mai/ko shippers is the insistence that their ship is healthy

canonically, mai/ko is the stereotypical toxic teenage couple. only really together because they find each other attractive and they’re feeling lonely. throughout the series (and comics but i really don’t want to acknowledge that those exist) they have horrible communication issues that are never resolved. they don’t fundamentally understand each other and seemingly doesn’t even like main traits of the other person (ie zuko wanting mai to be more expressive and open, but that’s just not who she is)

they also have a huge gap in morality, which is a dealbreaker for most relationships. how could someone who is anti imperialist and fighting for peace be with someone, let alone rule a nation with them, who doesn’t give a shit about how their people are oppressing others?

and all of these things are just what i can think of off the top of my head on why mai/ko isn’t healthy. like at all.

but honestly? just because a ship is toxic doesn’t mean i don’t think people shouldn’t ship it. i understand liking those dynamics in fiction and wanting to explore it. a lot of my ships for other fandoms i know are problematic too! but the thing is is that i know that those ships are horrible for the characters, that it’s unhealthy and toxic and would never actually work out.

mai/ko shippers (at least most of them) don’t do that. they’re convinced that the ship is perfect and better bc it’s canon. and that just annoys me.

#i really wouldn’t have such a big problem with mai/ko if the fandom just said #it’s toxic but i still like the ship #then i would be like good for you! #they are two v attractive characters and shipping two hot people is fun #but like #be self aware pls #anti maiko #if this shows up in the mai/ko tag i am so sorry #atla #avatar
