Hear me out: the hot tall dark and mysterious vampire/immortal/other kind of mystical creature boyfriend will always be supperior to the boring basic “normal joe” bf, (no matter how toxic their relationship with the mc is). At least the toxicity is usually rooted in the fictional aspect of their relationship, (like their age gap, or idk killing somebody close to the mc). But the “normal joe”s are always just controlling and jealous in a very “every other guy you find on tinder” kinda way.

I really think Mal Oretsev is the worst endgame romantic interest in existence.

Really.

There are many canonical ships I disagree with, but Malina ? This is the worst of all for me.

Alina had so much potential, and it was all wasted on a stupid tracker ; When she could have had the Darkling or Nikolai !

As much as I will always wonder what could be wrong in Alina's head to prefer her childhood friend to these two, and also what could have been going on in Leigh Bardugo's head when she wrote the character of Mal and the Malina relationship.

Like... she didn't notice that the character and the relationship were catastrophic ? Is that the height of romance for her ?

It sucks...

nostalgic for the early years of the grisha fandom where all the ships got along because we were united by our mutual hatred of mal

Does Alina mean "small" or Alina mean "protector"?

While analyzing the meaning of the name Alina, I suddenly realized that the main character is connected to both Mal and the Darkling.

Her name can mean “small”, and if we translate the abbreviated name Mal from Russian literally, it will mean “small” (and his name can also mean “evil”, “bad” and “cattle”, but this is a topic for a separate post).

But at the same time, the name Alina can mean “protector.” Do you know who else’s real name means “protector”? Alexander! And this is a real irony, because whenever Alina followed the path of Alexander, she really became a protector, and when she followed Mal, she actually became small. In other words, being with Mal for Alina means being a weak child and a smaller version of herself, and being with Alexander means being strong and protecting others. It’s a pity that Alina never realized this (or rather, the author did not allow her to realize it)😔

I don't think Leigh Bardugo intended the characters' names to be that meaningful (otherwise she wouldn't have left Alina with Mal), but it's an interesting detail that perfectly describes Malina and Darklina relationship.

They honestly murdered Nikolai’s character. This character is being the only monarch who cares about his country and his people. The whole reason he created Sturmhond, the whole reason he’s a privateer, the whole reason he works for the Darkling and kidnappings Alina. This entire character is based on his love for his country and him doing anything he can to make it better for his people. It’s the whole reason I fell in love with his character, I love that he was an inventor and a strategist prince with military experience, everything you look for in a leader. And now you’re telling me that he has to be convinced to save Ravka?! It was Alina in the books who need to be convinced to save the country. Don’t ruin his entire character just to make Alina look better. No matter what you do you won’t make me like her and now they made me hate the only protagonist I liked. Fuck you.

He was the perfect balance between Alina and the Darkling. And the only hero I liked. He should be the one ruling Ravka not Zoya, he was the perfect man for it, I can’t believe LB threw away his life goal, the everything he worked for away just to have Zoya “can’t control her anger” Nazyalensky on the throne, it’s fucking ridiculous. Like Nikolai had a whole plan for democracy.

Love how Aleksander just always says “the tracker” in such disdain, like he’s just disgusted by the mere thought of Mal!

Relatable king!

"Just fyi, Mal sucks and I'm just sooooo much prettier!"

"Not today Sasha!"

lol at lb being a heathcliff anti as if mal and alina's relationship isn't just a piss poor version of catherine & heathcliff's all consuming love

#she aimed for devoted orphans against the world #and instead got 'insecure girl makes herself ill for her chad bff whilst he's busy chasing tail'#this is antithesis of catherine who actually grew sick when she was AWAY from heathcliff #because he was her soul. the one person whom she could be her true unabashed self around #wouldn't you like that alina? wouldn't it be wonderful to not have to repress yourself to the point of illness around the person you love?#then theres mal with 'sorry i didn't see u before (too busy fucking girls hotter than u) but i see u now (that you're wanted by other men)'#tragic really. thoughts and prayers for alina's self worth.#granted heathcliff can be hard to stomach but at least he's written with sincerity. unlike mal.#anti malina #anti mal oretsev #anti leigh bardugo

List of things that would have made more sense if they were the third amplifier instead of Malyen "master of blades" Oretsev:

The Darkling

Baghra

Nikolai (or someone from the Lantsov lineage)

Any Grisha lol (Bonus points if they are Fjerdan or Shu)

Oncat

An actual firebird

Ilya Morozova's grave

#I'm sorry but worst storyline of the saga #like seriously #Why if you are going to resurrect him later for WHY #Also the thematics are not there sis #If she had to sacrifice what she cared most well then fine #And then she looses it all like it's so backwards #Leigh go back to your room #shadow and bone #anti leigh bardugo #the grisha trilogy #ruin and rising #alina starkov #anti mal oretsev

Mal after seeing Alina for the first time in 2-3 months happy, healthy, strong: "oH mY gOd WhaT ArE YoU WeArInG?? YoU BeLoNG tO HiM NoW?? I CaN SeE YoU'Re HavInG a GoOd TIme hERe!!"😑😠

The Darkling after Alina ditched him twice, tried to kill him twice, the second time by using merzost and throwing a chapel on his face: "Here take this throne beside me, be my Tsarina. You were so hot that night.😩🔥 Also *takes out engagement ring* will you marry me?"🥺🖤❤️

Why I didn't like the ending of R&R. Part 1. The broken logic of the world

So, as the title suggests, I read TGT and I didn't like the ending. And in this post I will try to explain why I personally (like, probably, many others) was disappointed by this ending. Let's break it down point by point, sit down, this is going to be a long post. Be careful, there is a lot of irony, sarcasm and Russian phraseological units here.

№1 Third amplifier violated the logic of the world in the most blatant way. Three times.

Not that this is something new, because the author violates the logic of his own world in literally every book, but here it is most striking (I have not read beyond Six of Crows, so correct me if there are even more outrageous violations of the lore).

First of all, the Mal amplifier is bullshit. He touched other Grisha more than once, and damn it, he slept with Zoya, if he was an amplifier he should have been revealed as such long ago. And even if we assume that, they say, he is all so unique and intended exclusively for Alina, it still does not make sense, because they also touched each other many times both before Alina was revealed as the Sun Summoner, and after. She should have understood long ago. So this is piano in the bushes (Deus ex machina) number one.

Secondly, transferring Alina’s powers to other people is complete nonsense. If her powers were taken away, then she should have died, and not just become an ordinary otkazat'sya. We have been told more than once that the power of the Grisha is their integral part, which nourishes them and, if it is not used, the Grisha begins to get sick, and subsequently may even die. So I’ll ask again: WHY IS ALINA ALIVE? I NEED ANSWERS, LEIGH!

But as if this wasn't enough, the powers of the Sun Summoner were ✨magically transferred✨ to a bunch of ordinary people. How? These people, apparently, either acquired an additional gene for themselves, or grew a new organ… Yeah, of course, I readily believe it🙄. Insanity is getting stronger, in general.

And third, the apogee of delirium - the resurrection of Mal. So, if I understand correctly, he came back from the dead because he died as an amplifier. Yeah, great, but I just have one question (actually more than one, but let’s put that aside, it’s ✨magic✨ after all): why didn’t the Darkling resurrect with him? He is also an amplifier, and even from the same bloodline, why did he remain dead? It's not even a piano made of bushes anymore, it's a whole FUCKING ORGAN! But that's not even the worst, I'll save the worst for last.

To be continued in Part 2…
