[malinaa]

honestly now that malina is an interracial couple, it makes alina’s eventual soft ending more poignant bc woc have always been told to be strong and bear immense amounts of suffering and pain for the sake of their white counterparts’ problems like alina has to be the savior of all of ravka (a mostly white country except the grisha who get taken from everywhere) to fix the darkling’s problems. like when we go to the r&r arc, we’ll get to see her free from that burden. we get to see her living a soft, good life in the orphanage with her husband

#alina starkov #malina #shadow and bone #ruin and rising #grishaverse #the drive to want alina to keep her powers feels so out of character. she never wanted powers in the first place! from the orphanage #she’d rather choose mal than whatever the second army had to offer. after the darkling enslaved her her powers began to be more corrupt. #like u can’t take away the depravity of her powers away from the darkling bc at that point they’re intrinsically tied. she hates it! #alina only craves power bc it’s driven by greed! anyways the fact that some of y’all want a woc to keep girlbossing when she could just #Live Her Life makes me :/ #like whatever make ur aus but know they’re legitimately just self inserts for ur own power trip lmfao #tais toi lys #* #everyone in the tags...lads i hope u know im se asian 😭 yea they’re both asian n some form of white but the diff btwn se asian/e asian are #quite vast 😭 would y’all rather me call them an interethnic couple instead #like i can thats just not the point of the post
