Baghra: My son is evil, manipulative, and cares about no one but himself. Do not trust him.
Her son when it’s just the 2 of them:
The point here being: yes, Aleksander is the villain. That was made abundantly clear in the show. But the show creators, I gather, wanted to bring a bit more humanity to him, and I think they did a good job with that, because... who is this speech FOR? WHO IS HE TRYING TO MANIPULATE WITH THIS SPEECH?
#shadow and bone#the darkling#basically im saying that i cant see who hes trying to manipulate here#so i take this as a honest conversation#and that tells me that he isnt 100% selfish or lost to humanity that he is redeemable#because by his own admission: he doesn't matter as much as someone else#if it's JUST about controlling the fold why wouldnt he also matter?#its about saving all the Grisha#I dont condone his behaviour btw just he is an intriguing character#darklina#also what im saying is maybe baghra is not as altruistic as she acted#she was gonna murder mal - do we know she wasnt trying to lay a trap for alina too? who went a diff direction than what Baghra suggested#even her son was like if you put her in harms way because he thinks she could have#in sum: Darkling not all bad Baghra not all good#anti baghra#i guess but not really but for the tagging purposes
