Honestly? Netflix should pay me for my quality promotion work I do here.

[moonbeam-darling]

Netflix canceling Shadow and Bone season 3 and not doing a Six of Crows spin-off has got to be one of their dumbest decisions in the past 4 years. It is one of their most popular tv shows and was ranked 1st for weeks after season 1 and 2 dropped around the world. At this point, Netflix is just asking to lose everything because they have continuously canceled the most popular TV shows and try to replace them with really shitty ones.

But, I am so grateful to Leigh Bardugo, all the directors, producers, writers, costume designers, set crew, and literally every single person involved for bringing it all to life and putting their entire beings into making it as perfect as it is.

And of course I will always forever love every single actor for making all my favorite characters walk right off the pages and bring tears to my eyes.

"I present Nikolai Lantsov" // inspired.

I love that Katniss and Peeta clearly didn’t have kids to have a happy ending to the story. They had kids because it was a choice and because they felt safe enough to do it. I also love the fact that even though they do have a happy ending it still isn’t happily ever after. It’s clear in the epilogue they both struggle on a regular basis. It definitely makes the point that in life you can’t just get married, have kids, and live happily ever after. You will still struggle with things and work on yourself and strive for contentment and consistency. The epilogue is just chefs kiss because it is so real and honest.

"Siege and Storm is boring, nothing happened there.", "I only remember Nikolai showing up". LIES. That's propaganda, actually. That's Grishaverse fans not wanting to reread the trilogy and especially that book because they've crafted a fanfic in their heads they're trying to pass as canon with encouragement from the author, actually.

Because rereading Siege and Storm would raise quite a few unsavory questions. For example:

Why is Mal drinking, gambling and fighting Grisha 24/7 instead of performing his duty as Alina's captain of the guard? (And don't give me "he was a stressed boy" bullshit, it was war, everyone was stressed. And everyone was coddling Mal. He was going hunting with nobles, living in luxury and insulting the prince).

Why did Mal fail his duty as Alina's protector and fell asleep on his watch, drunk, and didn't notice someone going in and out Alina's chamber?

Why did Alina run away in her pajamas aimlessly in the city, and when the crowd of worshippers started tearing her apart alive, she let them. Why did she attempt suicide? (Hint: she and Mal had a big fight earlier because Mal was being a drunk shithead. Alina still blamed herself).

Why did Mal slut-shame Alina one second and virgin-shame her the next? All while bragging about being with many women and kissing Zoya.

Why did the Darkling not manipulate Alina even though he visited her a lot through the tether? Why did he settle for petty little smirks and winks and silently kept her company through the long nights? Why did he admit he was lonely and stayed with her because she was lonely too? Where was loverboy Mal?

Why were the Bataar twins (especially Tolya) acting so weird towards Alina? Why were they brainwashed worshipers and viewed her only as a saint? Why is Tolya on his knees, shivering when Alina just pats his shoulder?

Oh, Nikolai is just an ambitious, conniving cunt who wants the throne, not a selfless fairytale prince? And he's only an improvement from his father and brother because the bar is so low it's in the seventh circle of hell? (Still the best character in that book).

Why is everyone so okay with murdering the Darkling's Grisha as if they aren't the same Grisha who they lived and fought alongside for years? Why is no one protesting that while the Lantsov prince is eager to engage in a civil war because he has big guns from his pirate privateer adventures , it's the oppressed minority (Grisha) who are dying the most?

Why isn't Alina more concerned that everyone turned on Grisha the second the times of trouble started, as if everyone was merely expecting an excuse? An absence of strong leader, so they could start sham trials and execute Grisha left and right.

shadow and bone proves that as long as you treat the source material and the characters with respect, you don't have to make everything "book accurate"

Alina and Mal get attacked by volcra, and her Sun Summoner powers finally show up (for the Litjoy Shadow and Bone box set)

i just got 2 new piercings & the biggest pain is making sure you don’t sleep on them! i agree you were prob just putting too much pressure on it while you slept. but in general my piercer said to use a saline spray 2-3 times a day to keep the area clean; if there’s any gunk around the piercing use some gauze (not cotton pads, bc the fibers could get caught around the piercing) soaked in saline to clean it; & having warm water run over it in the shower can be soothing. & total healing time for lobes can be 3+ months so don’t change the earring before then ✨

thank u bestie i do hope in a couple months i’ll know relief.

also finished white lotus s2 today. jaw DROPPED when i saw him fucking that old man. still love him tho i think he’s done nothing wrong and in fact deserves the world. the conversation he has with portia abt the world being a great place and us being lucky to be here has been bouncing around my brain all day and i Will steal it

shadow and bone: good and bad, saving the world, sacrifice and the power of listening to the guy’s mother bc she might say some legit things.

six of crows: yeah so we’re basically doing it for the money and we think we just saved the world
