Scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
#aliasedit#alias#nadia santos#julian sark#userthing#tvarchive#nadia x sark#nsplus#myedit#found my old notes from when i was first watching s4#and half of it is just me screaming about the nadia/sark parallels#which is valid af#they are. the same person in so many ways#the real two sides of the same coin#about that last gif: i prefer comparing sark and irina's relationship to nadia/roberto and nadia/elena#but also the irina/sloane parallel is definitely there too.#(my theory is that irina for sark is what roberto/elena/sloane rolled into one are for nadia. she's this for him and more.#the hero and the villain of his story. the savior and the arsonist.)#and i believe that sark and nadia's reasons for reconnecting with irina and sloane in s5 are similar#hence the scenes i chose for that gif#but what sold me the most on that parallel/connection is nadia and sloane in s3#where it seemed like he wanted to mold her into another version of himself. his successor.#brainwash her and turn her into another rambaldi follower. do everything so that she could be by his side#and he could have an access to her gift.#the show retconned their relationship later on but that was how it all began.#that was the truth of their dynamic. truth of how sloane saw her. as a tool who could be useful to him.#and it was FASCINATING. and it became even more so once i had sark and irina on my mind while watching all these scenes#where sloane goes on and on about how what he's doing is for nadia's best#'you sliced me loose and said it was creation. i could feel the knife.' !!
