You're telling me that in the grishaverse, durast (Materialki in general) are seen as weak when they got the most badass power (excuse me, small science) i've ever seen? What the absolute fuck.
They can change the structures of metals, core clothes, plants, textiles, etc. We saw in the show that Sankta Neyar control the iron in people's bodies. Aditi Hilli could extract poison from someone. These are things commonly seen that only the Corporalki can do. But Nah, just durast alone studying their power can wipe others off the map with a flick of their wrist. Unlike some others, they are always gonna have material available for them to use. Metal is everywhere, chemicals are everywhere (Alkemi are not commonly seen but based on their general description they are more powerful than what people think.)
Essentially, my main point is that Jesper, untrained, could literally move bullets. David was always trained in a specific way (what the little palace teaches him) but oooooh boy, imagine if he just stepped a little out of line and learned more? They both would be absolutely powerful. They were side characters because the plot deemed them to be, otherwise they'd be pretty damn unstoppable.
Anyway my main point is that I need more Jesper and/or David fics and just fics of Durast and Alkemi in general because if I was a grisha? Id want to be a durast.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Please feel free to make fics (pretty pls đ)
Why is everyone talking about soc3 my anxiety CANNOT- "what if leigh pulls a no mourners, too many funerals and kaz is the only one left" or "what if kaz sacrifices himself for the others" or "what if wesper get separated" or "what if nina turns bad" or- Y'ALL NEED TO STOP MANIFESTING THIS SHITđđđ
You've heard of kanej death trope but what about WESPER DEATH TROPE- Wylan dies BEFORE JESPER because he's not grisha,, but that would still be a peaceful death-
But what if he dies in a heist that he didn't wanna go on, but he went for Jesper, and got shot. There's blood everywhere and even Kaz is beginning to panic. Jesper keeps trying to use his powers to get the bullet out but he's not skilled enough to. So Wylan dies in his arms, Inej cries and prays and wishes Nina were there to save him, Kaz blinks back tears and thinks "I never thought I'd have to bury one of my own". Jesper blames himself forever and distances himself from kaz. The crows fall apart.
Many years later Kanej have a kid and name him wylan.
SOMEONE PUT THIS INTO BETTER WORDS-
âMost of us can hide our greatest hurts and longings. Itâs how we survive each day. We pretend the pain isnât there, that we are made of scars instead of wounds."
âMost women suffer thorns for the sake of the flowers. But we who would wield power adorn ourselves in flowers to hide the sting of our thorns.â
~Leigh Bardugo, King of Scars
Donât we all? Who didnât want to think fate had a plan for him, that his hurts and failures had just been the prologue to a grander tale? To a monk becoming a holy warrior. To a bastard becoming a king.
Nikolai had been told hope was dangerous, had been warned of it many times. But heâd never believed that. Hope was the wind that came from nowhere to fill your sails and carry you home.
~Nikolai Lantsov, King of Scars.
The Darkling- *diabolical plan for world domination* *tortures Genya* *burns down Alina's only home* *kills all her friends* *tries to make her his puppet* *tries to kill Mal* *your power is mine* *kills Ana Kuya*
Alina-đđđ€đđ
The Darkling- why, oh why do you not love meeee!?!?
âI ⊠I donât understand half of what goes on around me. I donât get jokes or sunsets or poetry, but I know metal.â His fingers flexed unconsciously as if he were physically grasping for words. âBeauty was your armor. Fragile stuff, all show. But whatâs inside you? Thatâs steel. Itâs brave and unbreakable. And it doesnât need fixing.â
~Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising
Many boys will bring you flowers. But some day you'll meet a boy who'll learn your favourite flower, your favourite song, your favourite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.
~Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows.
"Kaz is... I don't know, like no one I've ever known. He surprises me." "Yes, like a hive of bees in your dresser drawer." Jesper laughed. "Just like that."
"So what are we doing here?" asked Inej. "Jesper turned back to the sea, feeling his cheeks heat. " Hoping for honey, I guess. And praying not to get stung." Inej bumped her shoulder against his. "Then at least we're both the same kind of stupid."
"I don't know what your excuse is Wraith, I'm the one who can never walk away from a bad hand." She looped her arm in his. "That makes you a rotten gambler. But an excellent friend." "You're too good for him you know." "I know. So are you."

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