The Darkling Vs Sturmhond

No other way to describe it

Also this 😭😭

Morozova’s journals

Look, I understand Alina needed to learn about Morozova’s work in the name of The Plot™, but how likely is that someone as old and paranoid as the Darkling would just leave his journals lying around? Originals?

The show “fixed it” by making him give the journals to David to study. Which doesn’t change the fact they’re somehow easy to read.

If ~I~ were hundreds of y/o immortal with unique records of secret research, I’d destroy them after making a copy myself using:

cipher

foreign language

rare dialect

dead language

combiantion of everything above

But hey, it’s not like language doesn’t shift in some 500+ years… yet the greatest challenge was understanding Morozova’s train of thought… not the words alone…

MODERN SAB!AU: nikolai returns home after several years of military service and starts looking for a job. aleksander finds out about this and offers to become his personal bodyguard.

does anybody else think about how all of the darkling’s survival techniques were taught to him by a woman experienced at surviving in a man’s world?

I need these two:

to fuck in these particular outfits.

For ✨scientific✨ reasons.

Nikolai gets distracted

The fact that Zoya, Nina, Jesper and Tolya were able to walk around Shu Han without fearing capture is just ridiculous, like did they forget the part where Shu Han cuts up Grisha to experiment on them?

Grisha: “General, we have news of the Lantsov Prince”

The Darkling: “Good, good, what is it?”

Grisha: “He is throwing an engagement party”

The Darkling: “Now, of all times? Who is he marrying anyway?”

Grisha: “The Sun summoner, General”

The Darkling: “...”

Grisha: “Sir?”

The Darkling: “Leave”

Grisha: *excuses self*

The Darkling: “Fuck’s sake, Alina, I’ve already tried becoming consort to a Lantsov prince in the past it doesn’t solve anything.”

#i like to imagine he did try this angle already #and just no one bothered to read a history book#or perhaps someone scrapped it from the books because it was a shameful part of their history and now everyones forggoten
