Gotta Love How Darlington Went From Being Called The Golden Boy Of Lethe To Gentleman Demon To Alex's

He was both:)

is hell bent darlington going to be a pathetic wet meow meow boy or is he going to be a fucked up demon that has done everything and anything he could to survive or will it be a secret third thing (both)

i have this silent awe and appreciation for experience and wisdom that comes with time. when monotony and redundancy turn into a craft, when the amateur turns into an expert, when it becomes effortless to others. but there is practice hidden underneath it all. years of it. it is how my father can measure distances without any instruments because he has been an engineer for so long and his kids watch him do it in awe. it is how i know just the correct amount of milk and sugar when i make coffee for the people i love and they think it to be alchemy. it is the combination of efficiency and knowledge that only time can bring. gifted talents are great, but a time-honed talent is labor and repetition. you claim it as your own because time has made it yours, time has etched it like a schoolkid etches their initials on the desk over a period of time

Me:

Not to be vague but not again please

I think You're Losing Me doesn't need to resonate only in a romantic-relationship type of way. The bridge particularly encapsulates perfectly how much it hurts when you are the type of person who is used to chasing after the people you love, albeit a partner, a friend, or a family member. The hard part is when you realize that it's only been you working all along for the relationship and they don't care enough to chase after you at all or even meet you halfway. You get tired and you realize that you need to give up because begging cannot make a person care. You realize you've been holding your broken heart together by sheer hope that they might see how much you've been hurting for them to see you.

The Darkling, cruel and terrible villain, smiling at the camera while Alina, his sun wife and queen of Ravka, take pictures of him and his buddy.

leigh bardugo was insane for writing “This was Darlington—scholar, snob, and pain in the ass. No mystery there. But she’d held his soul inside her. She could still taste him on her tongue.” and then proceeded to treat ninth house like her least favourite child

THIS. IS. BEAUTIFUL.

saw a photo of this sculpture and instantly thought of the manuscript party in ninth house by @lbardugo so… did this little 2hr drawing. feeling absolutely bananagrams. 

Is it weird that his furious expression makes it even hotter for me? Do I have issues? (Don't answer that)

Truly. Bless this show.
