She raised her arms. "I'm sorry", she said, "if you succeed, there will be no end to the suffering you unleash."
The boys gaze was steady, his chin jutting up stubbornly, as if he'd known this moment would come. The right thing to do was obvious. Kill this boy quickly, painlessly. Destroy the lab and everything in it. Eradicate the secret of jurda Parem. If you wanted to kill a vine, you didn't just keep cutting it back. You tore it from the ground by the roots. And yet her hands were shaking. Wasn't this the way drüskelle thought? Destroy the threat, wipe it out, no matter that the person in front of you was innocent.
"Nina", Matthias said softly, "he's just a kid. He's one of us."
One of us. A boy not much younger than she was, caught up in a war he hadn't chosen for himself. A survivor.

Depression? I don't know her. Could a depressed person do *this*?
I loved the Shadow and Bone Netflix adaptation so much I had to go and make a cosplay of everyone's favourite heartrender, our queen Nina Zenik 👑

little shrine for my favourite grishaverse artists because every time i see their art on my feed it makes my day brighter and i think they deserve to have their talents recognised (feel free to add more!)
@polartss : one of my personal favourites. she has such a unique style that you can recognize at a single glance, also she draws the perfect kaz and the perfect inej and god knows how much i love those two (i have the kanej bathroom scene in my room and it makes me so happy just to look at it)
@itsiparwing : everything that she draws leaves me mesmerized. her style is kind of a book-illustration, cartoonish style and every single time she posts a new piece i have to stare at it for hours. also @/netflix if your nikolai doesn't look like meg's nikolai then you're doing it wrong
@/linasketchess : her style is super soft, both in the lines and the palettes she uses. she drew my absolute favourite kanej fanart that i also have on my wall and it makes me happy every time i see it
@eerna : (i'm not sure about their pronouns so i'm just gonna use they/them for the moment) their drawings are spectacular. they make comic strips of scene from the books which i adore, also their inej looks straight out of the books, and i also love all of their helnik drawings (personal favourite here)
@/jaded.draws : jade is amazing, and not just because of her art (which is also amazing). i love the way she portrays zoya following non-western beauty standards, also she's made a zoya×genya art that i think everyone should see at least once in their lives. she also does some amazing zoya cosplays
@chemdoodles : (again i'm not sure about their pronouns so i'm gonna use they/them) their drawings just make me happy. they're so cute and pretty and soft and here are my two favourites
@/qorndoq : her style is just so soothing to look at. i don't know if this sentence makes sense but it's the best way i can put it, the lines and the colours are always so soft. also she did a mesmerizing zoyalai piece set in the hollywood golden age

Ep 3 or the one about Why Racism Commentary In Fantasy Needs More Depth and Nuance Than Whatever I Just Watched:
GRISHA
Daisy Head as Genya Safin LOML I already know she'll be my favourite actress in the cast. Her line delivery has me completely hooked "have you ever bathed?" So true queen drag her. Once again, after Archie and Kit, another natural.
The funny thing about Jessie Mei Li being absolutely modelesque and beautiful is that Genya's tailoring had basically no effect except removing a few visible wounds. In the book alina was a bag of bones with ratty hair and an emaciated figure so tailoring was a big deal for her. It's kind of like clearing up Jennifer Lawrence pretending she's an underfed coal miner's daughter or dolling up Emma Watson and acting like she's suddenly pretty in the Yule Ball.
"We should start by making her eyes less Shu" WHEN I SEE ERIC ON THE STREET IT'S A BEATING ON SIGHT I literally DON'T care what "own voices experience" they were trying to portray like dafuq are you doing with this storyline ohmygod stop
Tumblr media
Book Ravka aesthetics my beloved. The show version looks so???? film set??? Artificial??? Like actors in costume?? Why why it seems that way but there's a distinguished "British people cosplaying" vibes from the palace scenes. Also Bad CGI returns as our recurring guest star
Once again, the queen asking Alina to speak in Shu to entertain them was a writing choice, as was making the Darkling continuously be the anti racist advocate who sticks up for Alina.
Book Zoya my beloved.........not very Clearly South Asian And Not White Passing Suli Zoya Nazyalensky being The One in a Sea of White People to tell Half Shu Alina Starkov she's a Half Breed.
Tumblr media
They cut out Zoya beating up alina real bad in botkin's training because that would be terrible ig but omg we love to see her be a canonical racist? 😍/s
NADIA IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SHE HAS A WEE LITTLE CRUSHIE ON ZOYA OMG OMG OMG (brings me back to my Tamar/Zoya shipping days)
Baghra is aight. Not the vibes I would go for but ok.
The Apparat and Bonesmith scene was kind of cool ngl and I like that they are expanding more upon animal amplifier lore.
More letters, more m*lina montages. When does this end.
CROWS
Helnik introduction and I'm reminded once again that a fat person wasn't cast as Nina. But the actress has screen presence and charisma ig.
Jesper is the clown friend on this show... that's the narrative they've chosen... it's cool for them, i don't respect it tho.
Something something train in the fold something something Jesper being a clown friend something something weird comic relief goat something something shots copied from Stranger Things-
Every episode they introduce at least One Thing that Fills My Heart with a Specific Dread of Bad Direction and Matthias Helvar being a famous and esteemed Drüskelle instead of just a young recruit is the one for this ep. Except for......zoya calling alina a half breed. obviously.
