the girlies are craving some muzan, have there been any updates on chapter 2? no rush ofc <3

Be rest assured that it’s coming along well! I do believe I’m getting to the climax of this chapter, but you never know when I might spontaneously decide to add another 2000 words ;3

I hope the Muzan girlies are pleased!

“how to be a ghost in your own skin: watch the one you love slowly forget about you, until you are no more than a distant memory”

“The villains were always ugly in books and movies. Necessarily so, it seemed. Because if they were attractive—if their looks matched their charm and their cunning—they wouldn’t only be dangerous. They would be irresistible.”

— Horrorscape, Nenia Campbell

“I lie awake at night, dreaming of all the things I want to do to your body, of leaving marks on your skin so that everyone knows that you are mine. And only mine. (…) But you fight yourself even as you fight me, and I love that, too. I love watching you squirm, because it gives me some idea of how you’ll look when I’m inside you. I want to be your last thought at night, and your first taste at dawn. I want to teach you, own you, control you.”

Them: you can't even cOMPARE kaz to the darkling!!11 the darkling is pURE eViL and kaz is just a traumatized 17 year old child!!! the darkling traffics teenage girls and kaz is a feminist icon uwu

Leigh Bardugo: I think the Darkling is a much more noble character than Kaz. The Darkling may have lost the thread in terms of his humanity and the cost of human life, but he has, ostensibly, noble goals. He’s a patriot, he believes in protecting his people, he’s trying to build a future for the Grisha that isn’t one of persecution. There are a lot of ways to defend the Darkling that don’t work for Kaz, who is very much out for himself, and out for revenge. And revenge is not necessarily a noble goal. It’s something you sympathize with, but it’s not something that is bigger than him. [x]

Kinda sad we didn't get the

"Murderer! Monster!"

"All of those things."

reading people's bizarre takes on the R&R ending like "alina losing her powers good, actually" or "you guys are just self-inserting" or "if you didn't like this ending, you just read the books wrong" like.......you know it's okay to disagree with the author, right? you can see what they were trying to go for and still see that they failed fantastically for a number of reasons. just because it's canon doesn't mean it's automatically Good™ and Right™
