#16 because Alina

Siege and Storm- Chapter 16 (Leigh Bardugo)

... there was something comforting in the control... Geez, Alina, really? Perhaps it's that... control?

What about attempting to learn it without crutches? So you don't have to rely on extra items you'd need to keep on you?!

Alina is like a child, who just got her first bike with training wheels, immediately after that a motorcycle, and now she's looking for a racing car.

No wonder once she gets it, it turns into a nasty crash.

my brain can never fucking decide what extreme i want to think with because for months ive been thinking "even if my writing is amateurish and messy rn because im literally a teenager/young adult, its on a different standard to the tiktok writing styleTM so at least i have that" and suddenly since last night all i can think is "My Writing Is No Better Than A TikTokian I Should Never Write Again"

[lovphobic]

last rb one telling feature about the type of book youre reading is. how old is the protagonist. and that usuallg explains Everything from why youre mad at the protag for making stupid choices to why the book just isnt gripping to you

[enpassants]

i just love rescoring programs and getting angry at how vastly i differ from the judges

[carriehobbs]

teen alina is also very fun to write because she is so incredibly sixteen, so when she encounters a problem she handles it in the most sixteen-year-old way possible

[spideymichelle]

me explaining through my tears that zoya's and the darkling's dynamic goes way deeper (in the books) and it says a lot about zoya's relationship with authority and power but also safety as a whole because of the (almost) parental nature of their relationship like the darkling is already playing favorites with her by the time she is 13

they are close enough for him to pick her over a lot of the older grisha's at the little palace for the possibility of getting an amplifier something we know is so special and not something just anyone could have yet he gave zoya that opportunity and when she felt like she failed him for protecting and releasing the cubs it broke her in a million pieces because she doesn't want to disappoint him

the darkling represented grisha's as a whole. he was their leader, their protector in a world that hates them and wants them eradicated, for a power they were born with. it is the way the little palace was meant to be a sanctuary for grisha's to feel safe, a place where zoya felt safe, yet it was the darkling was the first to completely destroy it and kill any grisha that wasn't on his side he was their biggest protector and he killed them in cold blood like that absolute betrayal

it wasn't just about her losing her aunt, he took away her home, the home she made with her aunt and lada and the one she made at the little palace the friends she made he took everything from her because she believed him when he said they would change the world together like she put so much trust in him, she gave him her power and he broke it so easily that wound just festered on because the darkling betrayed her just like her mother did in the past

and it just parallels the darkling with her mother so well because as a young child just wanted to make her mother happy which meant getting the highest grades, eating only half her meals so her mother could eat the rest, and stealing fruit from the duke's garden so her mother could eat them something she could get severely punished for by the duke zoya a young commoner girl who is from suli descent like she could have died but her mother never stopped her from taking them again and again and didn't her mother truly never saw her other than a pretty face that she could capitalize out of

zoya didn't make a sound on her wedding, didn't cry a single tear on her wedding, and never spoke out because she couldn't bear making her mother angry until the only person who ever spoke up for her was her aunt who almost beat to death for speaking up for her and even then could only be spent little over 2 months with her (mostly on the streets) before being separated for the next 7 years when she first goes back when she is 16. (they did write to each other)

the only adult that "cares" for her was the darkling he had continuous access to her, to groom her, to make her his perfect little girl. she is so desperate to impress him, to be around him, to be noticed, and worst of all he does. he gives her privileges, the important missions and she gets to ride his coach with him like he makes it known and clear that she is special, unlike her mother he gives her the attention she wants. but it doesn't really mean anything to him

he has no issue switching her out with alina sending her faraway as a punishment just like her mother had no issue selling her to a man old enough to have grandchildren of her age

zoya being stuck in a vicious cycle of being abused by people who should be protecting her

and it just speaks volumes that is zoya is the one who advocates for the darkling's victims because if she doesn't speak for alina, genya, liliyana and baghra who will

it speaks to her relationship with nina, her worries, her concerns about her, i wonder if all she sees is a beautiful and powerful girl with a deep love for her country with no support, no family i wonder if she sees herself so desperately trying to prove herself to the world

basically zoya co-wrote would've, could've, should've

*will be edited after i had a good night of rest and crack open the books again

Something I hate about the Grishaverse community is the DARKLING AND ALINA SHIPS.

Can I jsut remind you that man is 100+ while in the books she's 16 and tvshow she's 19 THAT MAN IS A GROOMER.

Your meant to hate the darkling bcuz of all the shitty things he's done but also because of how he grooms and treats Alina he groome her to be his perfect sun summoner and romanticized the idea of her not being her as an actual person but as an object.

AND YALL ARE ENJOYING IT AND ENCOURAGING IT LIKE NO ITS DISGUSTING YOUR MISSING THE POINT.

Wembley First Year Anniversary Post – 16|12|2023 (written: 16|12|2024)

—

London, 16th of December 2023. The day has come.

The day I was looking forward the most to during my stay abroad. Goddamn, that was a disaster, mentally draining even. I got up at 8AM because I wanted to go to the pop-up store. But I felt like shit. My back hurt like hell, my limbs sore. I didn't know I had Covid but hell, if I knew, I would say "Fuck it!" and still go. Because... This stay abroad was hell. I felt like being in a hole and Sleep Token... I needed them to say the least. To get comforted by their presence and music.

I won't recapitulate everything. But I can say this:

I was one of the first 100 people with Philipp, one of my dearest uni friends (who I could convince getting a ticket with my presale account information) queuing up and waiting for Alina, the person who ordered me a ticket, even though she didn't know me. All she knew was, that I was German, like her. And as she came to the pop-up store as well, it felt like....I belonged there. Behind us, Amy, from Ireland, a treasure of a person.

And as we stood there, I was texting with Alex ( @fivewholeminutes ) who gave me updates of the queue. With her, a propeller hat and a sign, asking the boys if they could give her a pick or a drumstick "for a friend". The friend that she knew for only 3 months, that she met a day before Wembley. Hi, that was me.

As I stood there, with Philipp and Alina, my back killed me even more. The pain was unbearable. But if you know me well and see me, I am like a little owl, looking around, to make sure how my surrounding situation looks like. Because big crowds, people I don't know... they scare me.

And as I looked on my right side, I stared into a camera. I started smiling and the person took it down. The person was no one else but Adam, and as he took the camera down, he smiled at me and gestured to not tell anyone he was here. I nodded and he rushed off. "What are you doing?" Philipp asked me in confusion but I just shook it off and smiled.

After 90 minutes of waiting we were allowed to finally go inside. To my surprise, the pop-up was just a tiny corner, located inside a bar in Camden Town. And it was stressful. Because of the little space with too many people inside. I got myself the limited T-Shirt for £30, not getting the coin (which I truly regret). But in the end I spent more than £200 lol.

And in the evening, being at the arena, it just felt like home... I hoped that III would come back. I didn't see the posts of him, or the new masks that were made by Lani. I didn't know anything.

Lets just skip Health (even though they were incredible, fuck, I love them)...

As Vessel came onto the stage, the melody of Chokehold buzzing in my ears, my back still killing me, I felt the tears streaming down. I was here, united with the boys.

And before the second part started, I could spot a red spot, moving and dancing around like a goofball. And then I realized that he was back. III was back. And I glanced over to IV and II, admiring them as well, I noticed that something was different. From the very distance it was hard to say but... I saw the new masks. Wow.

The ritual went on, I got to hear Dark Signs live for the first time, the growlings of IV during Vore made me sob as well. Everything was just... perfect.

But after quite a while, it was dark. And silent. I started to worry. The boys were not on stage. Where are they? It doesn't take that long, when they take a little break.

And then the lights went on again. The crowd cheered, but.... nothing. A little while later, Sam and Vessel came onto the stage. I was scared. Was it Ves who wanted to say something to us? Since it was Wembley? Did he need Sam as his emotional support? What was it? Were they about to cancel the rest of the ritual?

"Hey guys. How is it going?" Sam spoke, my hands, recording, slightly shaking.

"So... Vessel can't sing but you guys can." Sam continued. Telling us, while the poor soul of Vessel was standing next to him, wiggling nervously, he was sick and couldn't sing because he was not well. Fucking hell. At this time I wanted to run down and just scream it would be alright. That Vessel was loved. I could see from the distance he was tense. Nervous. Anxious. After Sam was done, he hugged Vessel tightly. And damn, Vessel needed this.

As they walked off the stage again, I heard someone saying "What is that kind of fucking bullshit?" That guy was bothering me ever since he said it. And trust me when I say he made it worse.

But I wanted to do my personal best. For Vessel. For the boys in general. My body hurt, I had an entire emotional rollercoaster going on inside me. But they needed us, they needed me. As much as I needed them.

And ... The Summoning came up. The lights were incredible. We sang it. We sang this song for Vessel. Next to Granite and The Love You Want. And seeing Vessel singing the last notes of TLYW with us and then breaking down, sobbing... Holy shit. It killed me.

But second mental kill was Atlantic. I recorded everything. And... I lost my words for a while. I sang... with him, and broke down into tears. Of sadness that was consuming me. The desperate signs of me missing someone I loved so much, breaking down with Vessel together... but... after Atlantic he went on with Nazareth (Vessel, excuse me!? Are you kidding me!?). Dude, I was shocked. Don't get me wrong but... that was the biggest twist ever. That is all I can and will say.

The lightshow was insane as always. The dancers during TLYW, and Rain... wow.

Oh Ascensionism, my beloved. It was so beautiful... but this one guy ruined everything. He never stood up... but then he did, during Ascensionism... and before that he was complaining that he "didn't sign up for a karaoke event".

Fucking bullocks.

Take Me Back To Eden... it was beautiful. Vessel, on his knees, singing his lungs out as much as he could.

And after I thought it was over when they finished The Offering... Vessel came back. Standing at his piano.

And it felt like he wanted to give us something.

For the first time being... I looked at him, nervous.

But all he did was sobbing and choking out two single words...

"Thank you... Thank you." And he started playing the notes for Blood Sport.

Blood Sport. A song I always am crying to.

But... Vessel. Hearing his words without a voice changer, expressing his gratitude for everyone. His second one was barely hearable because he was crying a lot.

Gosh. What a moment.

I sang along, with him, tears in my eyes, sobbing, shaking.

And breaking down when it was over. When everyone came to do their goodbye, it was hard to let them go. I didn't know what to do. Instead, I sat down, my body aching in pain and crying a lot. Feeling the sadness washing over me, the gratitude I have for the boys, every emotion flodded me.

And all I can say...

Wembley was amazing. Vessel and the boys did everything to make this night unforgettable.

Even though I cried, yelled, screamed, laughed and was in pain...

This collective had my back. As they always do.

Thanks to them I got new friends. My second home.

Thank you guys for being here.

And thank you Sleep Token, thank you Vessel, II, III and IV for everything.

I will join you, no matter what will happen next.

Until our paths meet again.

You are so loved.

Thank you to everyone who read this.

I will add some extra links to another post of Wembley here. It will contain some pictures and videos from this night.

Special thanks to @fivewholeminutes and @thevenomousseprent ... two Tumblr cuties that I got the honor to meet and spend time with for the first time ever. I love you. So much.

Off-Tumblr people but worth mentioning: Thank you to Alina who bought the tickets. You are a gem. And thank you Philipp for doing this by being so casual about it (and also buying the groceries for me on Monday before you flew back home).

Have a lovely Wembley anniversary day everyone.

Love, Lia.

Re-watching S&B again and Alina was given zero exploration as a character because they were so busy rushing through the plot and everything about her felt extremely hollow which is truly such a shame because the show has not given Alina the level of nuance and intelligence she has as a character in the books.

The thing about Alina choosing to lead and accept Nikolai’s proposal at the end of Season 2 without any sort of question is not only that it was so uncharacteristic of her but it removes the nuance of those choices. Alina’s ending on R&R has more weight when you know how Alina viewed life in court, how she knew that people were using her as a pawn for their agenda and she was the only one not making choices for herself. Nikolai wanted her as a queen to strength his claim to the throne and unify the second army. The Darkling wanted her power. The Apparant wanted her to be a Saint. A lot of her circle of friends extended some level of expectations towards her as well.

At the end of the season, Alina feels like a fanfic version, very watered down and like they tried too hard to make her so “female heroin” but forgot the aspect of her that was conflicted, not the nuanced Alina from the books. They didn’t give her the time to show that she was in fact someone that was aware of how those choices would impact her life and her desire to be seem as more than just someone that fulfills a role or duty. It removes the depth of contemplating those choices because being a savior, a queen, a saint, was something thrown on her and while she loved her power it was also difficult for her. Alina’s dilemma over her situation deserved exploration instead of his hollowed version. They could’ve at least make it more nuanced, make a point that Alina was choosing this for Ravka, because she thought it was her responsibility to the people, not for herself.

There’s are actual book quotes from Alina (*BOOK SPOILERS):

ー Siege and Storm (Chapter 21).

ー Ruin and Rising (Chapter 8).

ー Siege and Storm (Chapter 21).

ー Siege and Storm (Chapter 23).

ー Ruin and Rising (Chapter 7).

ー Ruin and Rising (Chapter 16).

ー Ruin and Rising (Chapter 10).

ー Ruin and Rising (Chapter 18).

ー Ruin and Rising (Chapter 18).

Alina knew she would have to marry Nikolai if she wanted to achieve some level of peace for Ravka but she also viewed it as a way to amend for the things she thought were her fault. It was never a dream for her. It was a constant source of anxiety. Alina was a tormented girl that wanted peace and she was aware her visibility would never allow her that. And, an important thing the show skipped is that Alina was suicidal and she constantly contemplated death as the only alternative for her pain mostly because of her powers and their effect on her.

Yeah, I know the show is changing things up but denying Alina the exploration of her own thoughts and why being the sun summoner, a queen or a saint was an added pressured to her existence that goes beyond Darkling or the fold is basically ignoring her as a character. Ignoring Alina’s Santakhood was erasing a core element of her persona. Ignoring Alina’s distaste for the royal court was also refusing to give Alina some depth. Alina had layers. She was seduced by power just as much as she was disgusted by it. She was seduced by a glamorous life just as much as she knew it was all pretenses. And at the end, choosing to step away from that was her choice. Faking her death, creating her own matyrhood was her own choice, marrying Mal and leaving the palace was her own choice. Alina’s ending is supposed to be bittersweet but it was her own desire, not someone else's. She wasn’t made to chose this for a sense of responsibility or duty. Alina not having her powers was the only way she could’ve archived the peace she desperately longed for.

I do like the idea of this version exploring her in a position of power and how would that be for her but it’s the fact they just turned her into whatever that was at the end, the typical “I get to be a queen in pretty dresses and Nikolai is flirting with me” version that goes so far from who Alina is. Her not being able to express her fears over being a queen or such an influencial figure made her arc feel empty. It feels like they just forced her into a figure of “empowerment” because this fandom has convinced themselves that Alina wanting to live a peaceful and domestic life — after not being able to chose her own destiny for the whole trilogy, somehow regresses feminism.

I really hope Season 3 (if it happens) turns this around and committs to give Alina her depth and the exploration she deserves because I do not stand for this girlbossification of Alina. Luckily, I still have the books. If Alina is going to have powers in this show version, let it be her own powers and not someone else's because Alina being an extension of Darkling with his dark powers was one of her biggest fears. They aren’t even allowing her agency on her own.

[radio-ghost-cooks]

ghost on the mercs: Engie! :]

headcanon that involves the both of them:

they're brothers and twins! but not each other's twin.

i'll explain more in their sections lmao

BLU Engie

Maynard

him and his twin, Zed, are RED Engie's younger brothers!

he's older than Zed by 16 seconds

(yeag they're Emesis Blue references lowkey)

dating the BLU Medic/Fritz

doesn't like the cold, but likes comfy fluffy winter clothes

always told he was mature for his age

his buildings are really durable, but have really shitty targeting

prefers making nests because of it

moves his nests as BLU advances though, especially when there's a payload

genuinely pretty laid-back

that being said, not afraid to beat the shit out of his brother in a match

actually learned to play ukulele before acoustic guitar

always tells his teammates where his teleporters lead

he loves his level one sentries sm <3

obsessed with ghosts

actually a decently good artist

does all the decals on his buildings himself

beats video game levels for Scout when he gives up

fully aware of what Fritz does with his innards while being operated on, oddly fond of it

fixes the dents in Soldier/Solly's helmet after fights

the only person Heavy/Ivan trusts to work on Alina (his minigun)

RED Engie

Dell

in love with the BLU Spy/Jacques, but it's very "forbidden love" and it's driving him crazy

he's the oldest of all of his siblings, clocking in at a whopping nine seconds older than his twin brother Riley

he's the only one missing a hand! the others wear a single glove so he won't feel self-concious abt it

they halfway made up a language with each other

every fifth word out of his mouth when talking to Riley sounds like complete nonsense to everyone else, even Maynard and Zed

has a herding dog named Daisy Bell

thinks of Pyro like a little cousin

helped Pierre make half of his sappers

ADORES bullfrogs

keeps a pet bullfrog in his workshop

big on platonic physical affection

mystified by Maynard's ability to draw things that aren't blueprints

always kind of wondered if he'd make a good architectural engineer

100% ranch/farm boy

owns one of those stetson-shaped hard hats

will rage about how easily horses break if given the opportunity

the only other person on RED who can stomach BONK!

side effect of college.

only drinks the raspberry flavor though

the human equivalent of a potato (put him in any conditions and he'll be just fine)

[stromuprisahat]

"Guys, meet my totally normal girlfriend, who's NOT marrying a prince..."

Siege and Storm- Chapter 16

Malyen's possible ulterior motives (Wanting the small, inconsequential "just Alina".) aside- I don't this is the best time to humanize her in people's eyes.

Alina needs to establish herself as a worthy player, a force to follow... introducing her as "daughter, sister, friend", especially when she's Grisha, means making her ordinary, a girl sticking her nose where it doesn't belong, and as a consequence admitting she bleeds too.

Half a page ago Malyen admits plenty of nobles want Grisha dead, and that they see Alina as one as powerful as the Darkling. Now her guard's telling them she's just a girl...

When you have to agree with a classist snobbish leech...

Yeah, because Alina isn't driven by ambition, but her traitorous pussy heart could point in a charming man's direction. Unlike Nikolai, Vasily is repulsive to her, and she doesn't like him at all.

See? Whore!

She remembers other man's kiss without appropriate feeling of disgust!

[doodle-do-wop]

Lowkey you aren’t a good person

I was gonna ignore this because I highkey don't give a fuck babes✌️🤪😂😂😂😂 Do you see any flying monkeys carrying my fucks to give because I sure don't. Elphaba do you see the monkeys?!🙊

like Okay???? whatever??? say this off of anon so I can ignore you better

I'm not for everyone babes and I don't promote myself to be but also like you're just some sleemo wearing sunglasses with zero guts to say it to my face like a real person. If you're gonna make a statement, stand on business don't crawl to my ask box you roach

I don't have to 'prove' that I'm a good person to pests. Cause unlike you who spends time on anon saying nonsense I've got friends I adore and can brainrot with while showing them this lame anon ask and laughing. I'm living my best life, you're gathering dust in an inbox, we are not the same

lmao like what were you even expecting? Omggggg!!! 🤩🤩🤩✨thx for noticing XD, 💖i like, would've never guessed ✌️🤪😘

get outta here dog

what gave it away?:

Do you have a dnd character or any other oc I could try to draw? (with any additional information as well bc I’ve been getting so invested in all my friends’ oc lore lmao.) I’ve been trying to draw more recently and I’ve just started collecting other’s ocs apparently. For definitely completely non nefarious purposes >:) /j

BOY DO I !!! also I saw the dnd character drawing you did for Soop it was so cool, like genuinely!!!!! I have 2 dnd characters (and one oc but I want to focus on the dnd characters!!)

---SOOP NO READING THIS ONE SPOILERS FOR THE CAMPAIGN The first one is for an active campaign, her name is Alina (cant remember if she has a last name.) Her story is basically, she was abandoned at this wizard/scholar/tower thing and was looked after by like the teachers and who ever. but when she turned 16, she was ousted from the tower because, unknown to her until the moment she was ousted was that she was believed to be the child of a prophecy (THE prophecy, but Ill get back to that). When she was 16 somehow it was revealed she was not the child of the prophecy, Oh also I forgot to mention she's a half elf sorcerer, but she thinks shes a full elf sorcerer. The reasons this is is because she was abandoned by her parents at the school tower thingy *because* her father believes that her mother slept with a human and i.e half elf. Her parents are these really rich nobles. We met them in session 2 of our campaign, and thats when she realised they were her parents because before that she had no clue. After being ousted ffrom the tower shes just been roming the country, until she eventual stumbles upon the other memebrs of our party where they reluctantly work together, first because they were hired for a mission by the barkeep, and now because theres something more sinister afoot with politicians nad shit. Theres more to be explored, but we havent played too much of it but im so so excited too . (The reasons soops not allowed to read it is because it has secrets that she doesnt know). Oh yeah The propechy is like a propechy about waro r somehting and my character was supposed to be the key to stopping it but no longer because they are no longer the propechy child. at the time of the story they are 18. They are heavily inspired by Aelwin Abernathy from D20's Bad Kids campaign (cannot remember what its called) For drawing them, heres a refrence! (i drew this >:DD)

---Soop you can read now. My next character is one for the campaign soop is dming!! It hasnt started yet but im really excited! My character is a tabaxi rogue. They're 19 if I remember correctly. Their lore is more dependent on the worl around them. Basically they were apart of the religion blah blah blah in the religion there was this guy (woman) called the Head Scholar, whose like the pope. They were an apprentice under the Head Scholar and basically the head scholar was/is experimenting on how to cure this disease/make spirits so they killed and revived my character! and a bunch of other people, but after my character was killed and revived they ran away. This was when they were 16. I think? And they also had a found family (that they found after running away) that were taken/killed by the Head Scholar as a way to get my character back. Their name is Tabi, with no last name. Since the campaign hasnt started yet they havent met the rest of the party. THey dont stay in one area too long as they are being sort of chased by the Head Scholar, more details to be added when the campaign starts/if Soop tells me more stuff. Refrence for them under neath, wich i also drew!

You can pick either you want!! Thanks so much for asking me I love talking about these two. I will trust you when you say no nefarious purposes/lh. >:DD
