The Darkling - Blog Posts

🖤🖤🖤🖤

get you a man who despite his literal decades of practice repressing and hiding his emotions to survive physically cannot hide how smitten he is with you

Wishing all of you a tender forehead kiss from a strong but intimacy-starved man who is scared of the feelings you are awakening in him but is already in too deep to know how to stop.

is your comfort character also a sad pretty boy with trauma and questionable morals or are you normal

I love this chapter art

A thing I really loved about Dorian was that he understood. He understood, and told Chaol that he can't "pick and choose which parts of her [Aelin] to love." And I just get this. *moving from ToG to Shadow and Bone... But Mal... MAL. He only loves Alina when she wasn't being herself. When Alina had to suppress her powers, when Alina played nice. And because of Mal, Alina was SICK for like 7 years. But The Darkling... he understood, like Dorian. He did love Alina, I think, and he loved her wholly. Alina tried to deny it, the connection and the similarities with him, but Alina was really just holding back for Mal once again.

thank you for attending my tedtalk and ship Darklina

When someone asks who my bf is

Well, that kind of depends... some times it's Rhysand, other times it's Rowan. And then every other Monday is one of the Herondales. Oh no, Lightwoods are on Mondays, Herondales are on Tuesdays. And occasionally, Aleksander Morozova, he usually goes by The Darkling. Either Daniel Altan Wing or Four once a month... and Maxon too if he has the time.

Am I the only person that ships The Darkling with Alina?

Who would win in a fight?

An eternal being who has spent decades coalescing power, manipulating kings, learning the deepest of darkest of Big Magyck

or

One rowdy orphan who cut his teeth on bigots, terminator’d his way through several grievous wounds to get to his love, and has a gun

🌟Sankta Alina🌟

kaz brekker is an age regressor and i will never change my opinion on this

(the darkling is also definitely an age regressor)

was innocently scrolling and came across a darklina post and when I tell u it was a jumpscare - like I forgot they existed omfg

Okay, so my opinion is in Kaz brekker vs darkling, Kaz will win. ALWAYS!

i’m reading tags under my kaz vs. the darkling set and GOD guys you’re all just hilarious 

in conclusion:

ladies and gentlemen, I offer you an exclusive peek inside nikolai lantsov's head

i am in severe distress. i am vibing. i am king of the world. i am bored. i am lost at sea. i am making coffee. i am foraging in the forest. i am making tea. i am chasing pigeons. i am napping in a chair

ALEKSANDER & ALINA ▸ Shadow & Bone, 1.2

SHADOW AND BONE — 2x05: Despise Your Heart (2023)

!Shadow and Bone (Netflix Show) Spoiler!

Inej throwing her knife at the Darkling has the same energy as Emma throwing hers at Sebastian in City of Heavenly Fire

I mean u r not wrong 😂😂😂😂

The Darkling (to Alina): Lift up your sleeve.

Me (who he's not even talking to): *shrugs and tosses off whole shirt* Well you see this isn't really like my choice but ok since I mean you did ask me to do it.

Don't lie we both know you'd shuck off your shirt if he said so. Darkling supremacy>>>

Painting winter forests is just as difficult as painting buildings in three point perspective, I found out. Guess I'll take a break from this one for a while and work a while on Alagadda until all those edges and angles make me yearn for trees, water and dead bodies again.

I am really happy about how it's turning out and I can't wait to finish it, but if I paint another tree I'll kill myself.

In a moment of boredom and art block I decided to read "The demon in the wood" by Leigh Bardugo and now child!Aleksander lives rent free in my poor brain. And now I am searching references for "sliced corpses". Not creepy at all.
