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?

Genya: Why is Zoya crying on the floor? Nikolai: She took a "what famous Grisha are you`?" quiz. Genya: And? Nikolai, grinning: She got Aleksander.

[boilingcoldtea]

Genya: behind every evil bi person there is more evil more bi person

Genya: points at Zoya, behind which is Nikolai, behind which is Darkling

David, nodding: you’re so wise, my ruby

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!!!

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

[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.

Nikolai: You started a cult.

The Darkling: "Cult" is a very negative word. We prefer to call it an "alternative spiritual community."

Nikolai: Nope. You definitely started a cult.

I hate the Darkling because he's literally abusive and manipulative.

That's not how you use "literally" in a sentence, but nvm that.

I've seen dozens of variations of this statement during some five-ish years in the fandom, often immediately followed by the abusive ex myth (I believe isn't a valid replacement of a good ol' fact-checking.).

One would think people might be truly concerned about characters' unacceptable behaviour towards others, yet the same blogs hating on the Darkling rarely bother with other unsavoury characters.

If you're looking for an abusive character, why don't you focus on the real (successful) stars like Malyen, Baghra or Jarl Brum?

The Darkling is so manipulative majority of characters view him as Satan reborn by default. Without personal experience. And abusive? At least he has a purpose other than making himself feel better or out of spite screw up the only offspring he didn't dump after birth. He doesn't use his (doubtful) influence to ignite hatred towards others. His "abuse" is an unfortunate side-effect of his socio-political efforts. Omelette, eggs and such.

Talking about Aleksander Morozova, especially if you dare to use his real name, seems to be considered an indicator of your own moral corruption and incorrectness of your other opinions. No matter how many quotes you use, how many detailed parallels, how many thoughts you manage to put into wider context.

The Shadow Guy's evil and wrong, and so are his whores. Duh!

[loserkaleidoscope]

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)

my shifting journey <3

Hi besties!

I mentioned in my intro that my shifting journey is a bit more complicated than most people experience. I just want to explain my journey so far. If you're curious, keep reading!

TLDR: I have shifted, but I've never experienced my shifts as they're happening. My mind and spirit team blocked me from fully experiencing it as I wasn't ready - but I have tons of memories from my times shifting!

‿୨♡୧‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿୨♡୧‿

2020 I first heard about shifting in early November. I actually have a TikTok draft from my very first shifting attempt - November 17, 2020. I was incredibly misguided and ill-informed about shifting at the time. My first script was for a Hogwarts DR. At the time, I thought shifting was just another term for lucid dreaming, so I thought I would be going to the exact plot of the movies / books without any adjustments. I saw myself as a fourth year Slytherin (ew considering I was 20 at the time and fourth years are normally 14-15). Thankfully, I had a very incorrect understanding of shifting, so I never shifted to that DR.

2021 In the beginning of 2021, I started sharing my shifting journey on TikTok and met a lot of really lovely people! I had a much better understanding of the concept of shifting, so I scripted new DRs (some of which I still use to this day) and started truly trying to shift. I spent that year learning a lot about different spiritual beliefs regarding shifting, some scientific knowledge that applies to shifting, and my own personal feelings and beliefs. I still didn't shift this year, but I was starting to feel much more optimistic and confident in my ability to shift.

2022 This was by far the most eventful year of my shifting journey thus far. In 2022, I started channeling, started doing tarot readings, and had a circle of friends who were helping me through a lot of my doubts and questions. My memory is terrible, so I'm not sure exactly what month, but I also started fully shifting this year! However, my brain and my spirit team weren't confident that I was fully ready for the experience. So I was shifting multiple times a week to several different DRs, but I would wake up the morning after a shift with only a vague recollection of what had happened. It wasn't until August that I put the pieces together and realized that I had been shifting. At the time, I was channeling my DR's Colin Bridgerton and my DR's Aleksander Morozova, and they both confirmed my experience as well. I also had tarot readings and channelings done by my friends at the time that confirmed what I already knew - I was shifting but not fully experiencing it. The end of 2022 was incredibly challenging for me personally, so that's when I started losing my drive for shifting.

2023 I was still fairly committed to shifting for most of this year. I would make attempts multiple times a week, I was still channeling some, and shifting was still the most important thing in my life. However, towards the middle of the year, CR things came up, I started doubting my abilities, and shifting fell to the wayside. I was still posting on TikTok and I have always believed in shifting, but my desire to make concentrated attempts was practically gone.

2024 I didn't try to shift very often last year. I tried to get back into posting from January to April, but in April, several of my videos went viral. This led to an influx of hate comments, anti-shifters, and generally a lot of bad attention. This caused me to stop posting and honestly to stop thinking about shifting much at all. As I said before, I've always believed in shifting, but it wasn't until December that I decided to jump back in fully.

Going Forward I am fully committed to relearning and recommitting to shifting this year! I plan to start from my basic beliefs and try different methods as soon as I feel fully confident again. In the meantime, I'm excited to talk about my DRs, meet more shifters, and learn as much as I can.

The Darkling: i’m going to give you some advice.

Alina: please don't.

The Darkling: too bad. i'm stuck here with my thoughts and you're the only one who talks to me.

[greensaplinggrace]

does anybody else think about how all of the darkling’s survival techniques were taught to him by a woman experienced at surviving in a man’s world?
