I read all the Books

You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

ALINA STARKOV + Traditionally Masculine Symbology

sister post to this poll about who would survive in the wilderness

a) the cornucopia exists so they can grab weapons/materials. similarly, sponsors exist to give benefits. in both cases, you have to detail how the character appeals to sponsors/survives the cornucopia.

b) they can bring one other character with them to survival, but only if you detail who it is, how it happens, how they convince everyone it's allowed, and what sacrifices they make in regard to resources/killing/morals.

c) murder is in fact encouraged, so what you can't rely on as a crutch is hiding or avoiding conflict unless you can make a convincing enough argument for it.

d) elaborate scenarios are welcome! go wild and clown on this post all you want!

I think the darkling would base line kill everyone and be like it’s okay Alina. It’s just you and me. Alina stabs him

The darkling who's worn black and black exclusively for hundreds of years: please put some gold in my kefta it's my wife's colour and I miss her :(

I love Shadow and Bone so much because every man in this show is trying to be a cool badass but they can’t hide they are all simps for their partners.

I still find it hilarious that the Crows well-orchestrated kidnapping plan was foiled because the Darkling got horny and gave Alina flowers - only for their plan to inadvertently succeed, actually, because of an old lady hiding out in the wall

Let’s be real it ain’t enemies to lovers unless the villain is an overpowered ruler of darkness who is willing to give the world to the humble protector of the light

ALINA STARKOV and ALEKSANDER MOROZOVA SHADOW AND BONE — 2x08: “No Funerals” (2023)

This is what Alina actually looks like to Aleksander when she's angry and threatening him.

I’m the Sun Summoner. It gets dark when I say it does. SHADOW AND BONE (2021–)

“My Alina” + “Little Saint”

- The problem about wanting , is that it makes you weak -

what do you mean this scene wasn't in Rule of Wolves
