#bc it doesnt fit with their idea of him calling out corrupt systems. i hate to break it to you but he isnt your revolutionary!!

honestly the thing that pisses me off about darkl!ng fans is how they act like he's anti-monarchy!! he literally isn't lmao, he only dislikes the lantsovs because they're anti-grisha.

he never has anything to say about the actual concept of monarchy itself and yet people act like he's against the whole thing because it's a corrupt system

in fact, in the books, the position of darkl!ng is quite literally an inherited title that gives him control over the second army - I know they got rid of that in the show (they shouldn't have done that imo, because it highlights his greed and hypocrisy) but watching people act as if he's against the monarchy when he benefits from an inherited title is..... honestly hilarious tbh

#like i know it's not technically inherited bc he's immortal BUT he very much does benefit from it being inherited #and whose idea would that have been? HIS OWN. because he CREATED the second army #honestly from the pov of someone who doesn't know that he's immortal - it would have been a much better idea for it NOT to be inherited #but noooooo he just had to cling on to his power!! #watching people call out alina for sUpPoRtInG tHe CoRrUpT mOnArChY and acting as if the darkl!ng was any different ...... #if the lantsovs had gone along with the darkl!ng's plans for grisha then he would have been FINE with the system!! #he doesnt give a SHIT that monarchies are inherently corrupt #and even if ive forgotten an instance where he DOES criticize the monarchy as a system‚ he's a hypocrite! #he literally CREATED a pseudo-monarchy within the second army..... and his fans just IGNORE it #bc it doesnt fit with their idea of him calling out corrupt systems. i hate to break it to you but he isnt your revolutionary!! #he MAYBE cares about grisha but he did also kill thousands of grisha for not unquestioningly obeying him so he cant care that much #he cares about HIMSELF and what HE sees as the 'right thing to do' first and foremost #and he doesnt care who he hurts along the way #grishaverse #mayhem.txt #anti darkling #shadow and bone #mayhem grishaverse originals
