Hello, there Grishaverse!❤️💜💙💛🖤🤍

You can call me Lila (short for Delilah) or Lav (short for Lavendar), she/her, lgbtqia+💕💜🩵, Chronic Illness/Disability advocate & fellow spoonie🥄🦓🦯+ CPTSD Zilennial (21+). Primarily English, but I speak some Czech (which helps in these books). My main page is: @lavendarneverlands + a few side blogs for favorite fandoms (like this)🌞🗡️🌙🪡📚🐦‍⬛🔪♥️🐺🎩🌻🐐🏴‍☠️👑⚡️🥀🐈

All are welcome here (like Kaz you don’t need a reason😂)! No mourners, no funerals. . . Always. . . #SaveShadowandBone #SaveSixofCrowsSpinoff #SoC3

I have read & loved each & every Grishaverse story: for more —

Shadow and bone (S&B), Siege & Storm (unpopular favorite from the trilogy) #S&S, & Ruin and Rising #R&R

Six of Crows (SoC) & Crooked Kingdom💔🖤

The King of Scars duology: (KoS) & Rule of Wolves (Row)

+ ALL Novela’s/Bonus Chapters: Lost Letters to Ravka, The Tailor, The Lives of Saints. The language of Thorns; Ayama & the Thorn Wood, The Too-Clever Fox, The Witch of Duva, Little Knife, The Soldier Prince, & When Water Sang Fire. & Demon in the Wood (regular, graphic novel, & audiobook; and a favorite)

And of course the Netflix Shadow & Bone TV show starring the phenomenal cast (I love you: Jessie Mei Li (the ADHD & representation we need), Ben Barnes (my childhood Prince Caspian crush has re-surfaced), Calahan Skogman (a true poet), Danielle Galligan, Amita Suman, Freddy Carter, Jack Wolfe (human sunshine), Kit Young, Daisy Head, Anna Leong Brophy, Sujaya Dasgupta, Archie Renaux, Julian Kostov) of course our Gothic Queen & Mother Leigh Bardugo, & the incredible crew who made it possible all the way to the score by Joseph Trapanese as they made it to near-perfection… and how could I not mention the true star MILO the GOAT… I am forever in denial about its cancellation #WeNeverStopFighting

⏰This blog does & will contain spoilers including the notes below🚨

Confession: I watched Season One of Shadow & Bone before reading the books (I didn’t know there were books until I finished it! Thus accidentally breaking my “books first” traditional rule). However, I actually think this improved my love of the books as I came in with the show version of Mal & (fan-cast come to life) chemistry of Ben Barnes as the Darkling (minus the spoiler of knowing his name was Alexsander & he was not to be trusted). The added diversity & “fixes” gave me a very different viewpoint & understanding heading in. And I pretty much binge read them (only disappointed in the lack of crows as I surprisingly avoided spoilers outside of the first book).

I of course love our sankta Alina Starkov, & despite popular opinion Mal Oretsev (Malina holds my heart). I enjoyed the ending to the 1st Trilogy, and the found family with Misha & my all time fav OnCat. — Hence the blog name & my favorite quote of the books & one of all time — “They had an ordinary life, full of ordinary things— if love can ever be called that.”

I did love Alexsander NOT the Darkling; though I did ship Darklina for a while; I blame Ben & Jessie😂 to be clear, however, I DO NOT CONDONE ANY OF THE ABUSE THE DARKLING CREATES

Genya Safin is very dear to me & her story/quotes meant a great deal to me. Daisy Head’s interview speech of “taking space” is one of my favorites. I will forever be a “David Lives” truther���😭

Inej Ghafa is also the same, her story, her character, her quotes, her ship… ALL. OF. IT. Amita & Freddy. Kaz Brekker… representation!!! Kanej… do I need to say more?

Nina Zenik is a queen, Helnik was an ALWAYS & it ALWAYS destroys me💔Matty, but I’m glad Hanina found a happy ending. Nina’s journey through grief came when I needed it most… she represents many things that were beautifully done.

Wylan Van Sunshine is bb & must be protected at all costs same with Jack (our lil wolf). Wesper will always be endgame. Jesper Fahey is a style icon & that word also applies to Kit.

Zoya Nazyalensky is a severely under appreciated character in my opinion, and one I am thankful to see as a heroine in fiction! Zoyalai is a favorite🎀 as is our Privateer Nikolai Lantsov + another style icon ;-) + (his & Mal’s TV bromance *chefs kiss*) — Speaking of show additives a moment for: Fedyor x Ivan👌👌😘😘🥹

I could go on for days… but for now I’ll just say any shop, character, fic, fanart, theory, quote, book talk, etc. is welcome & probably enjoyed! Please be kind! Please be healthy! And let’s have a great time appreciating a great fandom! Welcome!!!

I don’t remember my own story.

I may have slept in a hayloft or on a featherbed.

I may have eaten from silver dishes or stolen scraps from the kitchen.

I may have worn summer silks and jewels in my hair.

Or maybe I went barefoot and clawed in the dirt, searching for roots, for gold, for shelter. I can’t recall. There have been too many stories in between, miracles and martyrdoms, too much blood spilled, too much ink. There was a war. There were a thousand wars. I knew a killer. I knew a hero. They might have been the same man. I remember only how I fell into books, never to rise from their pages, how I was never truly awake until I began to dream of other worlds.

I wander now, lost among the shelves. My hand cramps around the pen. I gather dust. But someone has to set down the words, put them in the proper order. I am the library and the librarian, hoarding lives, a catalog for the faithful.

Erase my name. Indelible is a word for stories

"Hello everyone, we're back!" 

The cast of Shadow and Bone announcing the new cast members for season 2 (2/2)

[system-to-the-madness]

I know y'all have probably seen these pictures already, but it's been what... Six hours? And I'm still freaking out whenever I look at these. How did the casting directors get into my head, pull out how I imagine all the characters to look like and make them into actors? This is eerie!

But seriously: I'm so excited to see the new and shifting dynamics that will be brought to life for us on screen, and I hope the whole cast and crew, including, of course, all new members, have a wonderful time working on the new season. I'm so excited for the finished result, but my wish is mainly that everyone has a good time working together, has fun, enjoys the things they do, and hopefully find a spark of adventure even in the hard times of long night shoots, freezing winter sets and faulty technology (and whatever else makes life on set harder than necessary). That's my wish for the cast and crew.

I'm so excited: WE HAVE ALL SIX CROWS!

[nightmarewritings]

Wrote this after a great conversation with @nastyatticman and an idea he had inspired this, and it includes his incredibly cool OC, Sidney!

Basically, the plot is you’re Julian’s newest attempt at a partner-in-crime, and he decides to have you join him at a masquerade ball he’s throwing in his house and meet his friends. Of course, with Julian, there’s always a catch...

This fic is NOT WORKSAFE, though I don’t think there’s anything that really requires a trigger warning of any kind except maybe bondage? Pronouns are gender neutral. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy reading!

Julian’s Masquerade

The party was in full swing, Julian’s guests mingled beneath the fairy lights, illuminated only enough to be able to see each other's ornate costumes and masks. Though it was indoors, the space felt much larger with how he had redecorated it, the house no longer appeared to be a kitschy retro space, but instead an opulent place that suited the masquerade perfectly.

Even you had to admit it was impressive, though you were in no position to say so.

Julian, sporting an extravagantly decorated golden grinning devil mask and an equally stunning all black suit, held you tightly by his side, his muscular arm wrapped around your waist.

Underneath your black robe and golden angelic mask, one created specifically to compliment Julian’s mask, you were bound. Ropes entwined around your bare body in a shibari technique that left your arms completely tied, and in your mouth was a gag.

To all the guests, you simply looked just like any other party-goer. Julian and you alone were the only ones even remotely aware of your secret attire.

“You’re doing great, dollface. Keep it up just a few more hours.” Julian whispered in your ear, his hand rubbing almost reassuringly at your back. You tried to twist out of his grasp, but he was much stronger than you.

It wasn’t that you hated Julian, no, despite the whole ‘kidnapping and keeping you captive in his basement that was clearly used as a torture dungeon’ thing, you still couldn’t help but like him. He was a cocky asshole with clear murderous tendencies and a sadistic streak longer than he was tall, but he was hot. Even being tied up had not kept you from ogling him as he got ready for the party earlier that day. Still, he had promised it would be a party you would never forget, and you had begun to look forward to it.

But really, did he have to gag you too?

Though his face was covered, you were certain he had a smug look on his face, he so rarely seemed to be without one. You never knew quite what he was thinking, but luckily for you he had a big enough mouth that it was never long before he outright told you.

“Just think, all these guests, and not a fuckin’ one knows what you’re doing. They just think you’re shy, but we know better, don’t we?” Julian turned the dial on the little remote in his pocket and you practically jumped in the air. You had almost forgotten about that.

The vibrations were weak, only enough to remind you of its presence, but it had been days since Julian had last let you touch him, and you had been aching for him. It was just your unfortunate luck that your captor-turned-boyfriend also happened to be a massive tease.

Julian led you around the room, introducing you to his guests as best he could, he seemed as unaware of who was under which mask as you were, for the most part. You had never met his friends before, and was surprised to find he even had any after the way he went on and on about how lonely he had been.

One couple he introduced you to, two men with quite the height difference between them, he seemed positive he knew who they were, even despite the masks. “I helped hook them up. Didn’t I, Sidney?”

“Yeah, honestly Julian, you really did come through there.” The shorter one replied, and though you were certain he was playing it up a little to make his friend look better, it did sound as if there was some truth to the claim.

“Your companion, why aren’t they talking?” The taller one asked, his voice surprised you, it was almost childlike and the very picture of a posh British accent.

Julian laughed and grabbed your arm, pulling you to his side. “They’re just real fuckin’ shy, aren’t ya?”

You quickly nodded.

“Wait, is this the one you were telling us about? The one you’ve been working on?” Sidney asked, and you turned to look at Julian, his smug mask once again masking any expression he might have.

If you could have, you would have told him off for telling people about you.

“The one who hiccups when they-“ Brahms was thankfully cut off before he could finish that thought, and you were certain it had something to do with Sidney elbowing him roughly in the side.

You were certainly going to need to have a talk with Julian after the party.

“A-Anyway! I’ve still got a fuck ton of guests to introduce, so I’ll talk more later!” Julian placed his hands on your shoulders, steering you away, eager to end the conversation.

“Good luck with Julian! You might need it.” Sidney called out, and you weren’t sure if he was kidding or not.

The rest of the night felt like a blur, the vibrator between your legs was almost constantly in motion, never letting you relax. But every time it seemed as if you were close to the edge, it was shut off, denying you any release.

By the time Julian had sent most of the guests home, apart from a few he pointed towards the guest rooms, you were a mess. Soon, it was only you and Julian left in the dark living room standing in the conversation pit.

Julian unmasked, readjusting his glasses and slicking his hair back. He turned towards you and licked his lips.

“Let’s get that fuckin’ mask off you now, pumpkin. Show me that sexy face, yeah?” Julian muttered, carefully removing both your mask and gag. You were positively drenched in sweat.

You opened your mouth to speak, only for him to shush you.

“Wish you could see yourself, you’re looking wild. Fuck, if I had known you were like this under there, I would’ve bent you over in front of fuckin’ everybody. Bet you would’ve loved that, huh?”

You weren’t given the time to reply before he pushed you backwards, your body gently colliding with the soft pile of pillows on the couch. He climbed on top of you, remote secure in hand.

“You did a good job back there, I think it’s about time I gave you a reward, right, sunshine? I promised I’d make this a night you’ll never forget.”

You had no doubt he would keep that promise.

We eat and he tells me the news -

we have no sugar in the crow’s nest, captain.

Just as heart-stoppingly predictable,

the smell upset him, when the country was rid of blooms -

wings of bluebottles -stings of scorpions.

It is our primal sin to be entirely personal.
