no because why there're no words about aleksander actually creating a safe place for grisha and keeping them protected for the longest time and him experiencing trauma from being hunted and looked down not only by otkazat'sya but also grisha because shadow summoners are seen as abomination plus him being an amplifier? why there's only "survivor" added as if he's merely lived for 20 years having this lifestyle? why the "tyrant who tortures the ones who trust him the most" seem much more harsh and impactful than the previous survivor sentence? why "who trusts him the most" is about the protags™ who didn't lift their ass once to protect grishas and about the ones who we actually got the pov of? why not a word about grishas who he saved and cherished and who died not by druskelles, otkazat'sya or wasting sickness but by old age and natural death behind the safety of the little palace? lb should stop talking about him

also "if all would've been different" lmao grishas would've been hunted and prosecuted way more. someone else would step up for sure but when? centuries later?

✩🌑🦌Review: 

I’ve read this short story before, but seeing it adapted into a graphic novel really deepened my appreciation for it! Dani Pendergast does a phenomenal job depicting the Darkling in his youth. The illustrations paired with Leigh Bardugo’s text allow readers to get a glimpse into his past and how it informs the decisions he makes in the “Shadow and Bone” trilogy. This added layer of understanding only contributes to the complexity of his character and makes you question whether or not he is the villain everyone makes him out to be. I loved every single page and could not recommend this one enough!

~{ Heyyy you gremlins, I’m adding one of my other one of my favs into my growing collection of shit, Harpy’s!! I like them and think they’re neat so enjoy this }~

•Harpy•

Damien was being punished for being “Too rough” with criminals than what Father and the rest of the family thought was “Appropriate” so he was to be benched until further notice.

Damien was just doing what was needed and he was being punished for it so here he is walking around on the Wayne estate until he sees a bird a crow to be specific on the ground with one of its wings sticking up and obviously broken by the way it was bent.

So Damien walks over and assesses the damage as well as he can from next to the bird and it seems he has caught the bird’s attention as it looks to him as if it’s judging his soul and Damien can’t help but feel impressed.

After a minute or two the bird moves closer to Damien and Damien makes the move to pick it up and the crow allows him the honor of doing so.

As Damien picks up the crow he starts the walk back to the manner where he can set the wing straight and bandage it up, But Father most likely won’t let him take of the crow as he is “Grounded” as Father said but what Father doesn’t know won’t hurt him…

-•—••••••••••••••••—•-

After 3 to 4 weeks of taking care of the crow [And hiding the crow from the others in the manner] their wing has fully recovered [and Damian is still benched].

So well the others are out Damien picks up the crow and makes the walk back to where he first found the crow and sits on the ground with them still in his arms before he sets them down on the ground and unbandaging their wing.

After a minute or two of the crow flapping their wings to just move it, they take off flying and start to fly around Damien before flying into some woods on the edge of the Wayne estate and Damien follows them into the woods.

About 5 or so minutes later Damien follows the crow to a tall tree [How has this not been noticed before now?] with hundreds of other crows around it and the crow that he has been taking care of lands on the outstretched hand of a person with black crow feathers mixed in with the rest of their short mess black hair but what caught Damien’s attention the most were their large black wings on their back.

And when Damien makes a step closer to the tree he steps on a branch, and gaining the beings light surprised blue eyes at his presences.

Oh so this is what mother felt when she met father…

-•—••••••••••••••••—•-

So Danny has to leave his world because the GIW + his parents somehow [VLAD] got blood blossoms and started to use them in their weapons.

And it was BAD for Danny, he now has scars on his arms and legs from it and Jazz, Tucker, and Sam all told them to GTFO because they would rather have a far away brother/best friend than a fully dead one to Danny books it to the DC Universe where he ends up in Gotham and somehow gets taken in by the local crow population.

And this starts to change how Danny looks and acts due to spending so much time with the crows of Gotham.

So that’s how we ended up here.

-•—••••••••••••••••—•-

•Danny’s appearance•

Couldn’t find a drees I liked or that would actually work with his wings to I went “F*** this I’ll make the bitch” and now we have this

-•—••••••••••••••••—•-

~{ And that’s it! I hope you gremlins like it until next time byeeeeee }~
