#reason 368264737 why the darkling sucks

[grishaverse-chaos]

oooh sab meta!! the colours of ravka are blue and gold, which are also the colours that alina initially wears as a sun summoner. however, the darkling insists that she wear HIS colour, which is black. even though he claims to want to serve ravka, and he claims he wants alina to do the same, he's actually acting in his own self-interest, and wants alina to serve HIM - the colours symbolise her allegiance on more than one level

#reason 368264737 why the darkling sucks #this might not have been intentional on leigh's part but i thought it added an extra dimension to the thing about alina's kefta #if blue + gold represents ravka as well as her position as the sun summoner! #shadow and bone meta #grishaverse #alina starkov #mayhem.txt #anti darkling #anti darklina #<- tagging for people who have those filtered #like obviously her wearing black is a way for him to have control over her - #but if blue + gold represents ravka then that makes the conflict more interesting #mayhem grishaverse originals
