FLUFF PLS. Sickening fluff, tooth rotting, cavity creating fluff. Sweeter than our Doctor's macarons and Dawnbreaker's chocolates. MC returns feelings for all and is the girl we know and love. Zayne is actually able to have a happy ever after in at least one lifetime sheesh.

-----------------------

Doctor Zayne, what if you discover a cure for MC's protocore syndrome? This also coincides with a promotion where she's based in the office, instead of on the field. So the two main dangers of her life are either eliminated or drastically reduced. She returns your feelings

Dawnbreaker, what if you meet MC in your world? She completely understands and sympathises with you. She loves you and is able to pursue a relationship with you. Your dreams of the Doctor and his MC remain dreams but you have your own MC (adapted to your timeline) too. She's healthy and safe, no major issues with her health or longevity. Or yours either.

Foreseer, what if Astra gets laid once in his life and stops trying to make you an incel like him? Idk, for some reason he got curious what would happen if he actually left you and MC alone for just one life. One Jasmine in particular fully blooms, a sign of his blessing. She's cured of her Cryoriasis. You're free to stay or leave the Tower, truly up to you both. You're allowed to feel the touch (and way more) of the woman you love because Astra dgaf anymore. You can also keep your job because be fr who else is qualified for this position??? So all you need to do is deliver a prophecy once a century and the rest of your time is yours.

(Don't mind my last ask, I'll always be a Happy! Zayne/Zayne Fluff connoisseur)

I would ask her to marry me and move in together. I don't think I could be happier. I hope she's happy with this life, too, and doesn't mind the lack of action. I'll make sure to compensate that by taking her out for hiking dates often. I could certainly get used to the peace.

Could something like that really happen? I worry I would become... Clingy. I hope she doesn't mind. I want to spend as much time as I can with her, do everything together, be happy... Finally.

I would spend the rest of my life devoted to her instead. Free of worries, with nothing to hold me back, no unseen fear looming above us, I could feel the warmth again. Her warmth. Do the bare minimum to please Astra, spending the rest of my time doing whatever she feels like doing. Truly a blessing.

So Shadow and Bone season 2....oh where to start. There was a lot to love of course, I loved seeing all my favs back, and the additions to the cast were nice. Of the new people, I particularly liked Tolya, Tamar, and even Nikolai at times. Overall I thought the writers did a good job of mixing Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising, and it flowed much better when they were combined. Now that’s about all the praise I have for the writers if I’m being honest lmao. 

For me it’s just so hard to look past some of the negatives so I’ll start there. My two biggest gripes are 

1. How much they pulled from Crooked Kingdom 

2. How rushed Wesper was 

Ohhhh the writers had it out for me fr. Crooked kingdom is perhaps one, if not my favorite, book of all time, and I will never forgive the writers for how much they massacred my precious child. They pulled sooo much of it for a single episode and plot point they had for Pekka, and it made me so angry. There was no build up or anything, and it was at times like that that made me wish they had kept the crows out of the show entirely, because then they couldn’t have messed up their plot this bad. Anyway once I finally got past that disaster I was met with something equally as heartbreaking. Wesper. Oh dear lord. Since Jesper is my favorite character (and more on him later cause wew), obviously Wesper is my favorite ship. I loved how it was a slow burn, and that all just got thrown away here. Don’t get me wrong I loved seeing them happy and together, of course I did they’re my favs, but it just felt off. It was too quick, and we really didn’t get any of that longing or wondering that was so key to their relationship before. They were quite literally just reduced to a hookup and some throw away lines and that just made me so mad. To be honest I think pacing was a problem for the whole season overall, they were trying to fit too many stories and too many characters and it just made everything feel far too fast paced. 

Anyway that being said, on to some more positive notes. Most of the very clear changes from the (S&B) books were really good. I liked that Siege and Storm was acknowledged for it’s important parts but otherwise skipped since it wasn’t that vital. I loved how Alina kept her powers in the end and will now help rule Ravka, and that Mal is off being the new Sturmhond. I loved the twins and they felt straight from the books, Nikolai was a little off but by the end I was chill with him. Most of the characters were pretty good, but I’ll dive into all of them in a second. My biggest compliment is how Kaz felt more Kaz this season, and he was finally his ruthless self. Most of the completely brand new story lines I was just ok with, but the hunt in Shu Han for the blade that ended up belonging and being made by the saint was so cool, I loved that addition and that the weapon actually worked. I also kinda loved that they immediately thought of the crows when they needed something stolen lmao, but I’m not sure how I feel about the fact that supposedly Nikolai hired all of them in the first place smh. 

So for my last little section here I thought I would just discuss the characters and what I liked and didn’t like about them this season, that and where the writers went wrong with them. 

Shadow and Bone Characters: 

Alina: I really enjoyed Alina this season, as I said before I loved that she kept her powers and that now she will be helping rule Ravka. It feels very on brand for her and I like the change. I thought there were some points where she suffered from mc dumbness syndrome, but it was very far and few in between so I’ll let that go. Overall she was good and I don’t have much else to say. 

Darling: Glad he’s gone lmao. My only real complaint is I felt like they really made him a s 2d villain this season, whereas last season he felt more complex. I guess it’s cause he got less screen time and you know what I’m ok with that. 

Mal: I was the biggest mal defender last season since he was so much better than the book, but oh boy I had my work cut out for me with that ending lmao. I thought he was good, and added a lot more emotional depth to his character which is good. The ending was cruel but fitting, and since they clearly want to continue with the Shadow and Bone storyline I wonder where it will take him. 

Nikolai: Ngl I was a big show!Nikolai hater all the way up until the season aired. From the few clips we got of him they just didn’t feel very Nikolai yk. Anyway needless to say he grew on me, not all the way, but enough. I thought he played a much better prince rather than privateer, but I loved how many quotes he had from the books. 

Tolya: I didn’t expect this, but he was actually one of my favs of the season. In the book I didn’t care for him all that much but in the show he was so much more interesting. I loved how they kept in his poetry, I liked how playful they made him. Anytime he was on screen I was having a really good time. He didn’t have too much emotional depth, but that didn’t bother me. Unexpected but welcome fav. 

Tamar: Yeah I really loved the twins this season. She was just as snarky as I wanted, and just like Tolya, I really loved it whenever she was on screen, even if it wasn’t much. She was just fun, and my only complaint is I wish we saw more of her, and more of her relationship with Nadia ugh we were robbed. 

Genya: I really enjoyed her, and I liked how they didn’t shy away from her storyline as a whole. I thought her relationship with David was very cute, but lord just let my girl be happy. Overall she was really good and I don’t have any complaints. 

David: Let’s all pretend the ending didn’t happen cause I’m still mad wtf. Anyway I loved him a lot this season, I love how awkward and blunt he is, and since he was one of my favorite characters in the book of course I loved seeing him on screen. His relationship with Genya was so sweet and they actually mean everything to me. 

Zoya: I found myself liking her a lot more in the shows than I did in the original trilogy. She was sassy, and snarky, and someone I would roll my eyes too, but for once it was in a good way. She didn’t get that much screen time, but I liked when she was there and I was chill with her. 

Six of Crows characters: (oh boy): Just as a foreword, I felt like the crows suffered this season because half of them felt like they were just there to be a part of a ship (Inej, Wylan, and Matthias), while the other half got to be their own person (Kaz and Jesper) and Nina was somewhere in between. 

Kaz: Starting off on a good note oh my god Kaz was so Kaz this season, Freddy is iconic. Last season he kept getting beat up for no reason, and this season he was doing the beating oml (Freddy is an icon). I loved how they dove into his flashbacks and they took the time to flesh out his trauma and how that affected his relationship with the rest of the crows. To me, he had the best characterization of any of the crows, and I loved getting to see him finally be dirtyhands. He was ruthless, and exciting to watch, I’m glad they at least got one of the crows right. 

Inej: I will never forgive the crimes these writers committed against Inej dear god. My biggest complaint is how they didn’t talk or even acknowledge her past and her trauma. She deserved much better, and by doing this, it makes her seem like a villain with kanej. Suddenly it’s not two very hurt and wounded people meeting in the middle, it’s just poor Kaz and uncaring Inej, and I hate that. It’s not that her past it too “graphic” for the show cause they should it with Genya, and it just makes me sad. It felt like she was just an accessory to Kaz, instead of her own person who deserved her own arc.  

Jesper: Oh where to start, well first off you already heard my gripes about Wesper, so I just wanted to talk about Jesper because they messed him up to lmao. One of Jesper’s biggest hurdles in the duology is learning to accept his powers, and even by the end of Crooked Kingdom he still isn’t at the point quite yet, and that’s ok. It was such a beautiful aspect of his story, and it makes it all the more upsetting that they basically gave him a single episode arc and suddenly he was over it and proud to be a grisha in the show. He deserved more than that, and also how is he so good with his powers in the show? He’s not trained at all smh. Anyway, another thing I was upset about was how his addiction and adhd were completely brushed under the rug this season. It’s like he was only allowed to have one problem. Now all that being said I loved the flashback with his mother omg, and Kit is truly the perfect Jesper, even with a dicey script and story he was perfect. 

Wylan: I feel like they did a pretty decent job with Wylan, the whole problem was that he wasn’t given enough solo time to really flesh out all the good stuff. He suffered more from all the Wesper screen time. The few time they dabbled into his past were great, and I loved every detail, even if it wasn’t much. Jack was so good with the tender moments, and I agree with everyone when they said he’s the real life Wylan. Without his ship I just really don’t have much to say about him, and I feel like that’s kinda sad. He deserves to be his own character, and while I know he’s past isn’t super relevant yet, he should’ve had more growth and time on his own. 

Nina: Nina was kinda similar to Wylan in the sense that we didn’t get much, but the few things we did get were great and I wish I got to see her develop more. Frankly I feel like she got the least about of screen time besides Matthias, who hardly counts, and I can’t help but feel it’s cause she couldn’t be in a relationship. These writers really make it feel like characters are nothing more than their relationships, and that makes me sad. 

Matthias: This mf had a cameo ever episode in which all he did was have a wet dream about Nina, and tbh that’s so real. Can’t mess up a character if they don’t touch them I suppose. Yeah I really don’t have much to say, I’m just excited about his dynamic with the crows cause that always made me laugh. 

So yeah overall, a lot of complaints, but I just want to add that I don’t hate this show. I hate how everyone is saying if you were disappointed in the season that means you’re praying on it’s downfall, which I’m not. I think enjoying something and still having critical opinions can and should co-exist. While it’s not exactly what I wanted or needed, and while I think it fundamentally messed up so many things from the book, I did enjoy it once I finally separated it from the source material. Of course I want to see the ice court heist, but I hope the writers will learn from the backlash that the source material is important and should be prioritized more.
