WAIT MALINA I SEE THE POTENTIAL... also i love alina i am already self projecting myself onto her she is important to me

okay i don't know how to picture alina in my head... i think i'm going to reference her off of jessie because she's wasian and it'll be easier to self project :D

the darkling is scary i do Not like him

um alina is under the darkling's "protection"?....

i just keep thinking about jessie rn bc her playing alina is probably the best thing that's happened in a while

i just met genya

nvm i guess she's just doing her job IDK WHY I'M OVERANALYZING THIS

just hit the 100 page mark and so much is going on... alina is going to meet the king and the darkling is gonna walk with her

waiti just want to give alina a hug this is so sweet i love her

nvm i like genya she's very bold and spoken i respect that

THEY JUST MENTIONED SULI I MISS MY BEST GIRL INEJ

the darkling saying "ur the first glimmer of hope i've had in a long time" to alina... okay that was cute ngl

the lack of mal rn is making me want to ship darklina

"i missed the familiar smell of inks and papers. mostly, i missed mal." OKAY BACK TO THE MALINA AGENDA

"where are you mal? i whispered. but there was no one there to answer."

i think im ordering s&s :D

the darkling just laughed

“Because this was meant to be. The stag was meant for you, Alina. I can feel it.” He looked at me. His hair was still a mess, and in the bright morning sunlight, he looked more handsome and more human than I’d ever seen him. “I guess I’m asking you to trust me,” he said.

"He laughed again, and I felt a pleased flush creep up my cheeks. Then his expression became serious. “I’ve been waiting for you a long time, Alina,” he said. “You and I are going to change the world.”
so do i ship darklina or....

listen i want to ship malina but not mal ignoring her and moving on..... like my baby alina deserves better

okay so i'm about halfway into the book and honestly i like it a lot there's not too much action like the story is still building but it's not horrible yk? i feel very content with it

the darkling and alina are always going on walks together

IM SORRY the darkling and alina are cute atm

DARKLINA KISS WOAH WOAH PAUSE

i feel like the darkling is kind of manipulative especially bc he’s saying to alina like ur the answer and stuff like that... idk it feels very wrong and strangekind of like giving her false hope or smth

another darklina kiss... it feels wrong alina i’m so sorry bb but u shouldn’t be pushing down the questionable things the darkling did for one kiss

OKAY WHAT mal came back and it was miscommunication but like what is up with himhe’s so different and is acting so cold to alina... good bye
