Alina: Aleksander, stop! This isn't you, you've gone mad with power!

The Darkling: Well, of course I have.

The Darkling: Have you ever tried going mad without power? It’s boring.

[thesuntomyshadows]

Y/N: You're right. I was jealous.

Aleksander: I know.

Y/N: It was foolish.

Aleksander: It was.

Y/N: Must you agree with me all of the time?

Fun Facts about the Grishaverse - Antis version

Did you know that the Darkling's true form is a smoke-worm? Yes, whenever the situations are not in favour of the Darkling. He sends out his almost invisible smoke-worms which then crawls into people's ears and reach their brains. The Darkling then plants his thoughts into the person and operate them like puppets.

Did you know you can play a variation of 'Six degrees of Kevin Bacon' with the Darkling too? Don't believe me? Pick any random Ravkan problem. Let me show you an example - 'The coffers are running dry in Ravka'. Easy - Tatiana loved the Darkling's fashion sense so much that she kept making gown after gown to capture his magic. She wanted to out-dazzle the Darkling. So she kept throwing parties to show off her newly crafted gowns but she always came second to the him. Fed up with failure, she kept trying till the coffers ran dry. She wanted to outdo the Darkling atleast once! See, got it in first degree itself.

Did you know the Darkling was secretly responsible for Vasily's horse addiction? - When Vasily was a child, he saw the Darkling pet a random horse once and Vasily was never the same again.

Did you know the Darkling can teleport? - Yes, it is a very lesser known fact, hidden between the lines of the Trilogy. In Shadow and Bone we can see the Darkling not being in the Little Palace but he was still able to manipulate Alina, Zoya, Genya and every woman in Ravka. It was all through his teleportation ability. Mind-blown right!

Did you know the illegal dog fighting ring in Ketterdam was linked to the Darkling? - The Darkling had kept his involvement hidden but Nina was able to unearth the truth by his slight oversight- a dog in the fighting ring was named 'Shadow'. There! you saw the connection right? So subtle that you almost missed it.

Did you how the animosity between the Darkling and Nikolai first started? - When Nikolai was a boy, the Darkling was working near the Fjerdan borders. But one night, Nikolai had a nightmare and dreamt of a shadowy presence under his bed, making him wake up in sweat and tears. That day he decided that the Darkling was not a friend of his and they split ways. They never met again till the day of the Spinning Wheel attack. (I have always wondered how their relationship would have turned out if Nikolai had not had that dream. *long, pondering sigh*)

Did you know that the Darkling was directly responsible for Pyotr/Aleksander III's incompetence? The Darkling sent one of his smoke-worms to make the head chef undercook the King's chicken. This caused Pyotr to have a salmonella infection which rotted his brain and turned him to be so incompetent ruler. It was one of the Darkling's earlier attempts at the throne.

Did you know that the Darkling was a time-traveler who loved wars? Yes! This is once again a lesser known fact. Ravka, Fjerda and Shu-Han were once peace-loving countries whose rulers were besties. They loved Grisha like crazy. They gave Grisha high positions in their courts and revered them. However, in the original timeline, this did not help the Darkling to become the most powerful man. He wanted to play the saviour so badly that he went back in time, destroyed the friendships, created the Grisha-otkazat'sya rift just so that he could become the most feared man in history! This was such a shocking discovery and I found in my 278th read. LB is such a genius!

These are some of the interesting facts I discovered. Share me yours!!!

[little-cereal-draws]

Nikolai: What do we call overthrowing the government? The Darkling: A hobby. Nikolai: The Darkling: Nikolai: The Darkling: That I do not engage in.

Six of crows/shadow and bone fanatics would any of you be interested in starting whole six of crows rp blogs kinda like the inheritance games one going around

[goblins-riddles-or-frocks]

What do you think of "with her he was human again"?

Makes me kind of insane!

I mean I read it as genuine, that’s literally his own thought in his own POV. There’s no one to put up a front for.

I think that line confirms both that he was genuinely emotionally compromised beyond a completely cold possessiveness/desire to subjugate her. But also is the first hint towards his incredibly grudging redemption in RoW because he’s acknowledging that feeling human is something he actually wants!

Complete antithesis to “the problem with wanting is that it makes us weak” in a very quiet and subtle way.

The Darkling: I want to feel human, one last time. What's more human than to die? Nikolai: Nikolai: *exhaling* Listen here you dramatic little shit-

(It's about sitting through a boring and nerve wrecking meeting; they had plenty of them in the last days)

Aleksander: So tell me a little about yourself.

Aiden: I'd rather not, I really like you.

grishaverse dream ahhh

so i had a dream last night, i was alina and me and vladim (for some reason) were sneak attacking the darkling. except we were at my house, the darkling was sitting at the outdoor table. so we begin our sneak attack, but he throws a spoon at me. Vladim drops dead in the pool and the earth starts to shake. I turn to him, wrath in my gaze

'what have you done??'

suddenly i'm transported to him, and i am held captive for a total of 23 days. Finally, the darkling goes to lead me out of the side gate and into the street, but i say,

'can i at least say goodbye?' (i'm not sure what to at this point but anyways) and i go over to the gate in my back fence that leads to the bush behind my house. I try to unlock it, but fumble before getting it, so the darkling knows what i'm doing. ivan appear out of no where and steps in front of me, but i push him into a muddy puddle that materialised out of no where as well. Then the darkling grabs me and i wake up

soooo anyways no one will probably read this but now i can remember it foreverrrr

How many horse riding do nots can you see committed in S & B gifs by @ladylrbloom

These are the main offenders for me.

Incorrect dismount both times. Can be Harmful to horse if boot were to knock it's head or scratch neck and it really breaks my heart because he dismounts perfectly here. Please note, he can even dismount correctly whilst wearing a great thumping cloak! Not sorry for complaining. Correct is sexy!

Kirigan, take notes from The Sun Summoner. This is the only way you should dismount your noble steed!

Neat, tidy, correct and considerate to the horse and doesn't make the riders or the riding teachers want to scream at the telly.

In Gif one I will say it's not to deduct points because there is a reason as to why he dismounts incorrectly, so I won't but for the rest Taking points off and giving all to Starkov.

Ps if there are horse related scnes in S & B you want to praise or complain about, please drop a note in.
