Spoiler alert for ruin and rising by Leigh bardugo!!!

I love the way Leigh bardugo was able to change my mind about mal by the end of ruin of rising but I just can't stop thinking about the alternative ending. I just can't stop picturing aleksander in place of mal. Leigh could have given the darkling the redemption, I feel, he deserves.

Just like how alina loses her powers, Alek could have lost his powers too. Making Alek a normal person without any powers would have been an interesting twist. The og ending of mal and alina taking over the orphanage could have been Alek and alina taking over the orphanage. They could have lived a normal life without any worries about people trying to kill them, without any politics and stress. Alina could have made him a better human.

I know he manipulated alina, hurt or even killed a lot of people but imagine yourself in his place. Imagine going through everything he went. I highly doubt you would have been able to trust people and have faith in others. At the end of the day he was just a lost lonely soul seeking someone like him. Alek could have changed if given a chance. He didn't even get a chance. I know it's her characters and she gets to decide what happens with them but it's just that I can't stop thinking about this!

He deserved better !!!!!!

"But perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it."

friendly reminder that the god of mischief, Loki Laufeyson SMILED WHEN MOBIUS TOLD HIM THAT HE COULD BE WHOEVER HE WANTED, EVEN SOMEONE GOOD.

Thish ish kinda cute-

"But I seem to be a victim of my own wishes where you are concerned."

Leigh Bardugo - Ruin and Rising

Nina here gives me posh French lady undercover spy vibes-

The trope where a character has lots of scars and is given the opportunity to heal them but while the healer is doing their thing the character looks at a particular scar and goes "No, not this one." because it reminds them of something they survived will ALWAYS, ALWAYS SERVE😭

Every muscle in Chaol’s body locked up as he discovered Aelin now standing at Nesryn’s side. Of course. Of course she’d tracked them here.

Frankly, she didn’t deserve a word out of him, but when she’d hunted him down an hour ago, interrupting a meeting that was so secret that they’d disclosed the location to the rebel leaders only an hour before.

Chaol made it a block before Aelin silently dropped down beside him. He didn’t flinch. “I should have known better.” “You really should have.”

“Again,” Chaol said, “why are you here?” She’d just … snuck up on them. With far too much ease.

Please this is hilarious lmao

Okay so I know how Darklina stans say Taylor wrote 'my tears ricochet' for them, but 'hoax' gives me Darklina vibes too~

"My twisted knife,my sleepless night" and "Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in" and "You knew it still hurts underneath my scars" and "My win-less fight, this has frozen my ground" and "You knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score?"

"YOU LIKE HER, DOES SHE LIKE YOUUU???? BOTH OF ARE SWOONING OVER EACH OTHER -_- "

mobius my man you're making your feelings prettyyy obvious here ngl

This hits different after Row :'')
