I agree, their chemistry is soooo 🤩but he loves what she represent and Also her power. He's kind of toxic. I hope he is going to love her in the next seasons
Perhaps if he had trusted her, it would have been different. They had the same goal, but the Darkling preferred to lie, manipulate and make her a tool in his hands. I really love them, their conflict is wonderful
I mean, it's everything that makes sense to him... decades and decades that's what he had to do. They didn't have enough time for him to muster up the courage to trust her completely, which is why it's so especially tragic to me. (basically I agree with you. Not enough time for enough trust for the truth to divulge itself). Especially after she learns, sort of, the truth, and how that goes south and she doesn't consider the multifaceted nature of it all.
I actually see it the other way around. Perhaps if she had trusted him more instead of just running away after learning the truth, he wouldn't have resorted to such drastic measures. But then if he had told her the whole truth from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened. That's what makes their relationship so interesting though, it's complicated and unpredictable.
They didn't have the same goal though. The whole time he planned to use the fold as a weapon whereas she wanted to destroy it. He would've loved for her to be by his side, their power ruling all, but he was mostly fixated on her power and the fact that it wasn't his. She never would've agreed to let him use the fold to rule over everything. She always would've wanted it destroyed which is why they never could've been a couple together, even though their chemistry is very very good.
I am really hoping for the show to go deeper into their conflict and Kirigan in general. Not just the typical hero vs villain, it is so oversaturated. This show is admittedly quite shallow and I doubt they will do anything surprising... The actor that plays Kirigan clearly added more layers to the shallow villain, you can see subtle facial expressions during his interactions with Alina. I remain hopeful for a deeper dive into his motivations and behavior, a gradual development to an anti-hero perhaps? We'll see!
I feel like she would've fought by his side if it turned out that Grisha would be hunted again if they destroyed the Fold, but Aleksander was too afraid to trust anyone after years of being on his own, its sad really🥺
Tell me whatever you want, BUT even tho he is the bad guy, they are the PERFECT COUPLE... I can't handle it. So much chemistry, I would DIE if they have any more scenes like this in season 2
@@malm.257 literally finished the books the day the show came out and omg I was even more in love with the darkling after that. His character has so many depths that he is so interesting. His death was so sad even though I knew it was gonna happen. I think he wasn’t ready to die but he knew he must so he gave up and I think that was what was so sad.
@@Gabby_beyer45 please read "demon in the woods", it's a short telling showing aleksander's past, you are gonna start loving him even more, this short story makes you understand what he has been through so mucj
The Darkling was so broken in my opinion. He has lived for hundreds of years, has been betrayed probaly for a million times. If he had trusted Alina more, and told her his plans she maybe even agreed to it but he manipulated her instead ... such a complex character I jut can’t hate him!
I agree he never trusted Alina he never lied to her just missed some key aspects. Also yes he was also told by his mother his whole like he had no equal and no one would ever except him. That he shouldn’t rely on others and he only had himself, that he couldn’t trust anyone and that no one would never nit be afraid of his power. His mother broke him more then anyone else did. She created the evil that lived inside him for many reasons. After his life of getting told this he turned against ravka cause he wanted them to like him, if there is any character to blame it’s Baghra
@@Gabby_beyer45 wow! I never looked at it this way but it makes so much sense!! Also Baghra was the one who told Alina the truth but it was only her side of the truth. The darkling may had experienced the whole thing differently, but we only heard his mother’s side of the story, and in the books we don’t even know where Baghra was during the making of the fold. Damn she is manipulative af.
@@zsofiakaplar1354 she was just as bad as her son if not worse she expected Alina to sit around and let him take it over got so mad when she didn’t, I give her a little credit for killing her self to save Alina but at the same side she added to the fire because the darkling still loved her it was his mother and he probably blamed Alina for her death. And yes we only heard Baghras side of the fold not the darkling sit might have been an accident at first and she just doesn’t want to admit that she helped create it, she was just as bad as her son in many ways
@@Gabby_beyer45 yeah her sacrifice was kind of a redemption but in the end I don’t think it helped Alina as much as she wanted to. So many people blame The Darkling for all of it and say things like Baghra is the kind of wise old master to Alina and compare her to Yoda in SW (which I don’t see why). Also most people overlook the fact that she basically abused Alina during her training. She gave her tasks that hurt her physically and mentally and hit her multiple times. So it wouldn’t even suprise me if it turned out that she abused his son when he was younger, which would explain why he is also abusive and manipulative. At the end of the day she helped to create the person that The Darkling become. He is definetly not a good guy, but with a mother like Baghra it doesn’t suprise me at all.
@@zsofiakaplar1354 I agree with you there isn’t a doughy in my mind that says she wasn’t abusive to the darkling she shaped a major part of the person he was and I think a lot of it her fault. During Alina training she just hit her every time she did something wring which maybe did something to others people but not her. The person who taught her how to fight was the one that made her run in till she couldn’t walk or fight in till she couldn’t stand
It’s not too late for you. Alina might be right, but he hadn’t fought his way back from death for the sake of being saved. - Rule of Wolves, Leigh Bardugo
after finishing the triology I've listened this song for weeks, thinking about them. never gonna be okay about how the books ended. after so many years of loneliness, alexander deserved much more better. and alina... my girl deserved someone who is capable of accepting her with all she has. with grisha powers and that inner strength. mal wasn't right for her, even though they have made his charachter arc completely different in the show, books are still here. Darklina is perfect with all the chemistry and opposites attract power they have. thank you for this video, it is utterly gorgeous.
I agree Mel would have never excepted her even though he was the third one. He was scared of her in most scenes an donkey stood by her because he did love her and I hate that he did, Alina needed someone like the darkling, he would balance her out and never be scared of her, and he deserved someone like Alina after all he want threw in his life.
i just hope that maybe, just maybe, we will possibly get a better ending to the show than we did in the books 🥺 i feel like as fans, we deserves to see different versions of one story. maybe this our time to get exactly that. a story where the Darkling and Alina balance each other and become equals, something we didn’t get in the book cause we all know that Mal was scared of her and her powers. it honestly baffles me how fans think Mal wasn’t afraid of her. it makes sense though, the Darkling understood what it meant having a similar type of power that Alina has and Mal clearly didn’t!! (if you’re a Malina stan, please don’t come for me. if you have your own reasons for liking them together then you do you ;)
@@sanelahusejnovic8879 I am just hoping that netflıx will realise what they can give us, their chemistry and what it means to let alina have her powers and accept who she is. books were not enough in so many points and now they have every chance to change it
I like to think the very first episode we saw aleksander's back and alina looking back into the ship that their eyes met. That there connection to balance the world because of their affinities called to each other. That you could see in her face a flicker of curiosity and familiarity. Like calls to like. And that itself was such a powerful part of the cinematography. Words are skin deep. Each look, touch, and breathe they take towards each other tell such a complex story that needs to be really delved into.
@@eliasveturius5343 I really want to see what their relationship become. Is it going to be hate and love ? Is there going to be a love triangle ? Or is he just going to try to kill her or control her again ? I guess we'll see
@@aude-mariesambain3823 Well if they will gonna go after the books plot we will probably see Darkling trying to manipulate her. But I think that if they put these series together and changed some things, they can change something in Darkling s personality too.
@@eliasveturius5343 yes and Ben Barnes is more known than the rest of the cast and i mean that in a good way, he has more popularity, killing him off off too early in season 2 will make it a bad idea, the chemistry between him and Alina is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That's the success to a show.
All he wants was protect to grishas. Yeah, he lied. But everybody lies. Instead of run away, she should have talked to him. I think she is the only one in the world who convince to the Darkling. But she prefered to run away from him and she made him her villain. Those all things could have been different. See how he is looking at her. His eyes have so many feelings for her. Ah, Alina! How fool you are! What will become then Darkling died? Will the world get better? Or the grishas and other humans will fight? I think the second one will. Ahhhhh
@@nahimiYT right?! Think about it. In the books, alina is 17 i think. and the darkling is an ancient grandpa. He was using alina for his own gain. Manipulating her and taking advantage of her immaturity and ignorance. Love that song btw
It will fucking break my heart if we don't get a season 2 of this. It is too good and the entire cast is brilliant. Ben draws you in, never have I understood the saying that the dark side can be seducing until right now. Holy hell I'd pretty much... yeah.
Sure she would had a different perception of Kirigan and his motives if he had told her everything about HIS BACKSTORY. Not only the part that Bragha explained to her. I mean of course Alina wouldn't accept to be part of his plan knowing she was betrayed and lied to. It's so sad to see that she think he's ONLY A MONSTER, not knowing what he has BEEN THROUGH FOR HUNDRED YEARS. #darklina
well said...i hope before they kill him off, they're able to completely show the viewers around and give a feel of what it is like being in his head...going thru centuries of loneliness, loss and pain
The air was ashy, breathing was becoming inexorably difficult. My lungs were filling with dirt and the noises all around me sounded muffed from the explosions. My sight was becoming blurred and everything looked incredibly slow as if I were looking through a window at someone else’s life. I looked around me: the Crows were holding themselves together, Inej standing in front of Kaz, her eyes wide with surprise and fear. Kaz was on his back, I couldn’t tell if he was injured from here. Jesper was kneeling next to him trying to say something in his ear but he didn’t seem to be paying attention. All his focus seemed to be on the scene before him: Aleksander was in a cloud of night trying to fight off the king’s army on one side and rogue soldiers from Fjerda on the other. He was on his knees, a streak of pain colouring his face, blood rippling from his torso, ruining his uniform and painting the dirt on the ground. My hearing was starting to come back slowly, I turned to my right were few meters away was his majesty’s army. The General was shouting at me, it took a few seconds to register what he was saying - kill him! - his voice scary as he growled at me like a mad dog. I looked into his eyes and I saw it: just pure hate, for who I was, for my abilities. Hate for something I didn’t choose, hate because I was different from them, more powerful. I never given them any reason to be afraid of me, till a few months ago I didn’t even know what I was. But none of it seemed to matter, they still hated me just like they hated Aleksander and I hadn’t even striked back at them. In my mind came back the memories of Aleksander’s past, not the story they taught in their books about the Black Heretic but what had really happened. - I didn’t know what to do… I was just a boy back then trying to learn to control my power - his gaze was fixed on a distant point in the room but I knew he was actually lost in thought - Me and my mother spent months at a time running and hiding, until one day the guards captured us. I was threatened that they would kill my mother if I didn’t do what the king asked, he wanted me to fight for him. He wanted me to round up others like me and win a war for him and we did. You know how history says that I became greedy and insatiable with power? Do you know what had actually happened? The same night we won all my people were sleeping in the barracks and he sent soldiers for a coup: they killed everyone inside. I wasn’t there, I went to break my mother free of the dungeons but I heard it: high pitched screams like the crackling of fire. By the time we had come out the barracks were burning to ash. I spent the next twenty years running away and hiding my people - I looked at him, he seemed suddenly so young and so old at the same time. The weight of his words and the memories were showing on his face giving away a truer idea of his real age. But his eyes when he looked at me… he seemed what I would have imagined a frightened ten-year-old Aleksander to look like. A confused child whose life had been stolen from him, a child who was victim of circumstances he didn’t choose. I remembered when he brought me to the fountain saying how he had always made a wish that he could be anyone else, he hadn’t lied about that. Mal shook me out of my thoughts, I turned to him. He was covered in dirt and was pointing his finger towards were I knew Aleksander was struggling. I turned my gaze and saw him fighting to not fall on the ground. One hand was keeping his weight from collapsing, the other was erecting a wall of shadow trying to keep off spears and bullets. As if he felt my eyes on him he turned his head and looked at me and I saw it all over again: a scared boy, confused as to why he had been hunted down his entire life just for being different. I looked over the army again and I rose to my feet. Mal tried to grab my arm but I shook him off - Alina, what are you - I didn’t give him time to finish - I am going to help him - Mal’s gaze looked as confused as if I were speaking some ancient language he could not understand. - What do you think will happen once I help them kill him? What do you think they will do to me? - I pointed a finger at the army with rage. - I am the same thing as he is to them: a threat, an annoyance, a bug on their shoulder jeopardizing their power. The only reason I am still breathing right now is because they think they need me to kill Aleksander. As soon as he drops to the ground they will turn against me as quickly as they once considered me an ally. I will need to spend the rest of my existence running and hiding, fighting for my life. Fighting to not be killed or captured and sold off. And Mal, eternity is a very long time to be afraid - I didn’t wait for his reply, I didn’t even look back at him. I didn’t want to look or I might have changed my mind. I started running towards Aleksander. (Would anyone read it if I wrote an AU ending for Shadow and Bone?)
I know (even though I haven't read the books yet) that Aleksander is the villian and that him and Alina won't end up together (and neither should they, if he treats her badly) but I do ship them.... And I think the reason is the incredible chemistry that the two of them have!!! I mean I adore Ben! And seriously he and Jessie are fire together!
This song is LITERALLY PERFECT for them. How he fooled her, how she fell in love with him when she didn't know who he was, how she tried to help him but it turned out to be a mistake trusting him and how he was both paradise and death at different points of the story. And how there is no time to die, because they both have goals that are not yet fulfilled. And they literally cannot die, so there is no time for them to die of old age. So yeah good choice. And the video is absolutely beautiful!
That was heartbreaking! I wish they give us Darklina endgame, but life is unfair, at my almost 30 i should get used to it (i'm too old for this, i know,))))))
I agree about what Ben said about the darkling loving Alina he said in the ying yang symbol (sorry if I spelt it wrong) there is a spot of white and black on each side and he said the darkness is the darkling and the white is Alina so the darkling felt a small amount of hope that came wither her. He grabbed on to the hope in a way that maybe he wasn’t prepared to deal with. I personally think he wasn’t ready to deal with it. He might have lived 500 years but he finally found a person thought could be equal to him. His mother told him no one would ever and here is someone that did. He jumped at her and maybe he hurt himself in the end along with her, I believe he did love her but in a way that didn’t make it seem like love, he wanted her to rule with him side by side. He was excited at the fact he found someone equal
I don’t excuse his actions forgot to add that. He did terrible things and everyone should say he did. But you can still like certain aspect of a person
I think the darkling is even more hurt when Alina is hurt but his looked that everyone have saw was a tough guy who leads the army and he could not show his weakness
I finally read the first book and have bought the final two. Now im going to watch the show... I couldn't help but ship them in the first book. The show looks really good! >.> I don't know how i will feel about him by the end but damn it I like him right now lol
She seemed more heartbroken than angry because he could trust her. She was sympathetic to his cause. He got used to manipulating people and in this situation it was a terrible mistake. He didn't have to isolate her. If he didn't lie and so, she would accept him bc she loves him too.

I feel like they’re right people wrong life time. You can genuinely see that Alina would’ve truly fallen for him and same goes for Aleksander. They’re equals and could’ve been magic. (I haven’t read the books so don’t come at me 😭🤚🏻)
No one that has read the books is gonna come for you because the best part of the books IS Darklina. Even when they're enemies, their dynamic is just the most interesting part of it (and Nikolai). And you are right, but it's the tragedy of them that makes them so compelling, the reason why most of us could never actually care about her and Mal (he literally has no personality whatsoever in the books and he's kind of a douche to Alina in multiple occasions, but they kinda erased most of his flaws on the show, which made him even more one dimensional, he's just the good guy.)
Yes she even says in the tv series " we could've had this, all of this", she says like before she was betrayed she considered a future with him, a future for them

This was amazing. I love the Darkling and I love them together.
That one dislike is from Baghra
The "you are not alone" line really tore open past wounds for me😭Give them the happy ending that reylo didn't get plz Netflix
Maybe we should make some petition for Darklina in season 2 ? 🤔
we should...fans should show some power...no point of fighting with Malina fans , better to show your strength instead...Twitter is the way
All he wants was protect to grishas. Yeah, he lied. But everybody lies. Instead of run away, she should have talked to him. I think she is the only one in the world who convince to the Darkling. But she prefered to run away from him and she made him her villain. Those all things could have been different. See how he is looking at her. His eyes have so many feelings for her. Ah, Alina! How fool you are! What will become then Darkling died? Will the world get better? Or the grishas and other humans will fight? I think the second one will. Ahhhhh
I agree 😔
Billie Eilish + Darklina = 😌😭
I was listening to "your power" as I read your comment... This song is crazy fitting for their relationship
@@nahimiYT right?! Think about it. In the books, alina is 17 i think. and the darkling is an ancient grandpa. He was using alina for his own gain. Manipulating her and taking advantage of her immaturity and ignorance. Love that song btw
the editing... the song... everything is on point! truly stunning
The only dislike is by Mal, I'm sure about it
It will fucking break my heart if we don't get a season 2 of this. It is too good and the entire cast is brilliant. Ben draws you in, never have I understood the saying that the dark side can be seducing until right now. Holy hell I'd pretty much... yeah.
Sure she would had a different perception of Kirigan and his motives if he had told her everything about HIS BACKSTORY. Not only the part that Bragha explained to her. I mean of course Alina wouldn't accept to be part of his plan knowing she was betrayed and lied to. It's so sad to see that she think he's ONLY A MONSTER, not knowing what he has BEEN THROUGH FOR HUNDRED YEARS.
#darklina
well said...i hope before they kill him off, they're able to completely show the viewers around and give a feel of what it is like being in his head...going thru centuries of loneliness, loss and pain
After I read the demon in the wood I feel so sad for him. So many betrayals broke him and turned him into Darkling
they did change my world
this song fits perfectly for these two!!!
The air was ashy, breathing was becoming inexorably difficult. My lungs were filling with dirt and the noises all around me sounded muffed from the explosions. My sight was becoming blurred and everything looked incredibly slow as if I were looking through a window at someone else’s life. I looked around me: the Crows were holding themselves together, Inej standing in front of Kaz, her eyes wide with surprise and fear. Kaz was on his back, I couldn’t tell if he was injured from here. Jesper was kneeling next to him trying to say something in his ear but he didn’t seem to be paying attention. All his focus seemed to be on the scene before him: Aleksander was in a cloud of night trying to fight off the king’s army on one side and rogue soldiers from Fjerda on the other. He was on his knees, a streak of pain colouring his face, blood rippling from his torso, ruining his uniform and painting the dirt on the ground.
My hearing was starting to come back slowly, I turned to my right were few meters away was his majesty’s army. The General was shouting at me, it took a few seconds to register what he was saying - kill him! - his voice scary as he growled at me like a mad dog. I looked into his eyes and I saw it: just pure hate, for who I was, for my abilities. Hate for something I didn’t choose, hate because I was different from them, more powerful. I never given them any reason to be afraid of me, till a few months ago I didn’t even know what I was. But none of it seemed to matter, they still hated me just like they hated Aleksander and I hadn’t even striked back at them. In my mind came back the memories of Aleksander’s past, not the story they taught in their books about the Black Heretic but what had really happened. - I didn’t know what to do… I was just a boy back then trying to learn to control my power - his gaze was fixed on a distant point in the room but I knew he was actually lost in thought - Me and my mother spent months at a time running and hiding, until one day the guards captured us. I was threatened that they would kill my mother if I didn’t do what the king asked, he wanted me to fight for him. He wanted me to round up others like me and win a war for him and we did. You know how history says that I became greedy and insatiable with power? Do you know what had actually happened? The same night we won all my people were sleeping in the barracks and he sent soldiers for a coup: they killed everyone inside. I wasn’t there, I went to break my mother free of the dungeons but I heard it: high pitched screams like the crackling of fire. By the time we had come out the barracks were burning to ash. I spent the next twenty years running away and hiding my people - I looked at him, he seemed suddenly so young and so old at the same time. The weight of his words and the memories were showing on his face giving away a truer idea of his real age. But his eyes when he looked at me… he seemed what I would have imagined a frightened ten-year-old Aleksander to look like. A confused child whose life had been stolen from him, a child who was victim of circumstances he didn’t choose. I remembered when he brought me to the fountain saying how he had always made a wish that he could be anyone else, he hadn’t lied about that.
Mal shook me out of my thoughts, I turned to him. He was covered in dirt and was pointing his finger towards were I knew Aleksander was struggling. I turned my gaze and saw him fighting to not fall on the ground. One hand was keeping his weight from collapsing, the other was erecting a wall of shadow trying to keep off spears and bullets. As if he felt my eyes on him he turned his head and looked at me and I saw it all over again: a scared boy, confused as to why he had been hunted down his entire life just for being different. I looked over the army again and I rose to my feet. Mal tried to grab my arm but I shook him off - Alina, what are you - I didn’t give him time to finish - I am going to help him - Mal’s gaze looked as confused as if I were speaking some ancient language he could not understand. - What do you think will happen once I help them kill him? What do you think they will do to me? - I pointed a finger at the army with rage. - I am the same thing as he is to them: a threat, an annoyance, a bug on their shoulder jeopardizing their power. The only reason I am still breathing right now is because they think they need me to kill Aleksander. As soon as he drops to the ground they will turn against me as quickly as they once considered me an ally. I will need to spend the rest of my existence running and hiding, fighting for my life. Fighting to not be killed or captured and sold off. And Mal, eternity is a very long time to be afraid - I didn’t wait for his reply, I didn’t even look back at him. I didn’t want to look or I might have changed my mind. I started running towards Aleksander.
(Would anyone read it if I wrote an AU ending for Shadow and Bone?)
Yesssssssss
Omg yasssss
That is a work of art
@@RandomUser931 hiiii it's me your bestie from school!!!
Was it written? Because this was amazing!
I know (even though I haven't read the books yet) that Aleksander is the villian and that him and Alina won't end up together (and neither should they, if he treats her badly) but I do ship them.... And I think the reason is the incredible chemistry that the two of them have!!! I mean I adore Ben! And seriously he and Jessie are fire together!
And maybe....just maybe there is a real life reason for that.....hmmmm.
Literal chills, you portrayed them so beautifully!
This song fits them so well omfg
Oh i hope so freaking much that they make them be endgame in the show?
sweet summer child....
Nooo way
It’s not like that in the books and i don’t know I really hate him for what he does plus he’s so oooooold
He’s a perfect manipulator
@@vigo823 Зай писать тут подобные комментарии некорректно поэтому иди воняй в другом месте)
This song is LITERALLY PERFECT for them. How he fooled her, how she fell in love with him when she didn't know who he was, how she tried to help him but it turned out to be a mistake trusting him and how he was both paradise and death at different points of the story. And how there is no time to die, because they both have goals that are not yet fulfilled. And they literally cannot die, so there is no time for them to die of old age. So yeah good choice. And the video is absolutely beautiful!
this song is just so so perfect for the darkling
This is the best darklina edit ever!!! The song fits perfectly and i am LIVING for it.
This is a masterpiece 🧎♀️
I AM lITERALLY SOBBING IN MY ROOM
DARKLINA OTP💕🥺 *"FAINTS"*
That was heartbreaking! I wish they give us Darklina endgame, but life is unfair, at my almost 30 i should get used to it (i'm too old for this, i know,))))))
Manifesting them going off book source material so these two can have a run back. Need more Darklina.
Fool me once, fool me twice - are you death or paradise? This song is so perfect for them tbh
The best edit of darklina i've ever seen (and there was a lot of them XD) 😍❤️
god i really hope they somehow alter the ending so that they end up together
I agree about what Ben said about the darkling loving Alina he said in the ying yang symbol (sorry if I spelt it wrong) there is a spot of white and black on each side and he said the darkness is the darkling and the white is Alina so the darkling felt a small amount of hope that came wither her. He grabbed on to the hope in a way that maybe he wasn’t prepared to deal with. I personally think he wasn’t ready to deal with it. He might have lived 500 years but he finally found a person thought could be equal to him. His mother told him no one would ever and here is someone that did. He jumped at her and maybe he hurt himself in the end along with her, I believe he did love her but in a way that didn’t make it seem like love, he wanted her to rule with him side by side. He was excited at the fact he found someone equal
I don’t excuse his actions forgot to add that. He did terrible things and everyone should say he did. But you can still like certain aspect of a person
The scenes suit so good to the lyrics
both edit and the song are perfect
☺️✨
THEY DESERVE BETTER!!!!!!
This song fits so perfectly for them, this edit is insane love it
This look they give to each other @ 3:11 is just "I BURN FOR YOU" ❤
This gave me chills omg
Best video of this two so far! Congrats! ❤️
This song is theirs, the translation perfectly matches With their history, this couple should have been real
I think the darkling is even more hurt when Alina is hurt but his looked that everyone have saw was a tough guy who leads the army and he could not show his weakness
this is a masterpiece
I finally read the first book and have bought the final two. Now im going to watch the show... I couldn't help but ship them in the first book. The show looks really good! >.> I don't know how i will feel about him by the end but damn it I like him right now lol
You could've made average fanmade video. Instead, you made this...🖤
I want a Darkling for Christmas
What a fantastic edit ❤️ you have a new subscriber!
omg, thank you!!
this is so perfect
This video is well-made! I love it❤️
Omg, this edit is so beautiful and your channel is so underrated 💖💙💜💕👑 Just subscribed!
it's so nice to hear, thank you 💛
i love them it's the toxic in me... this song fits them perfectly
Perfect!
im so obsessed with this omg
They are made for each other
this is so good
You’re not alone -alexsander
You’re not alone -Alina
🥺😩 HOW CAN YOU TELL ME THEY’RE NOT MEANT TO BE
This song fits them so well what
She seemed more heartbroken than angry because he could trust her. She was sympathetic to his cause. He got used to manipulating people and in this situation it was a terrible mistake. He didn't have to isolate her. If he didn't lie and so, she would accept him bc she loves him too.
It's wonderful! Perfect! You're very talanted. I'm waiting for a next video
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This is really professional video. This is georgeous ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
thank you so much ✨
That one dislike is from Mal
i ship them so bad. hopefully we see more of them on season 2.
O relacionamento deles indo por água a baixo foi só um sonho, eu me recuso acreditar nisso. PQ EU SHIPPEI O TEMPO TODO QUE ODI9
I'm in love, this video is wonderful
Beautiful video
This is SO beautiful 😭❤
Didnt think it could hurt more ,;::: now that its adapted onscreen,,, 🥺💔
I know he's evil and manipulative and whatever BUT HE LOOKS AT HER WITH SUCH AWE EVEN WHEN SHES NOT LOOKING YOU CANNOT TELL ME HE DOESNT LOVE HER
i mean come on the way this man looks at her. there is no way he doesn’t like her.
they and this song 😳 daaamn
#DARKLINAAAA!!! 🤡👁👄👁👌👌😍

This edit is a masterpiece. I'll beat someone if they say the other.
I love this!!!
How did you get the clips of Shadow And Bone?
I am sure she would have made him a better man if she stayed with him.
The opposite of darkness is sunlight.
One cannot exist without the other, but they aren't good for each other.
Кто-то скажет, может, фентези, мол, устарели, ну, может для тех, кто разучился думать, чувствовать, любить, кто превратился в подобие машин, возможно, для тех, для кого нет эмоций, чувств, а может они просто умело это скрывают) и поэтому стараются осквернить и обесценить вещи, которые не пытаются понять, а может делают вид , что не понимают, или это давно забытое и вызывающее червячок внутри зашевелиться, так вот, благодаря этому червячку вы ещё живы)
I feel like they’re right people wrong life time. You can genuinely see that Alina would’ve truly fallen for him and same goes for Aleksander. They’re equals and could’ve been magic. (I haven’t read the books so don’t come at me 😭🤚🏻)
I've read the books and I agree with you 100%. She should've given him another chance to redeem himself. I'll forever be bitter over this ship 😭
No one that has read the books is gonna come for you because the best part of the books IS Darklina. Even when they're enemies, their dynamic is just the most interesting part of it (and Nikolai). And you are right, but it's the tragedy of them that makes them so compelling, the reason why most of us could never actually care about her and Mal (he literally has no personality whatsoever in the books and he's kind of a douche to Alina in multiple occasions, but they kinda erased most of his flaws on the show, which made him even more one dimensional, he's just the good guy.)
Yes she even says in the tv series " we could've had this, all of this", she says like before she was betrayed she considered a future with him, a future for them
comfort couple
I don't know why but this couple is delena energie
I need a book with the main character is like the Darkling and the MC still chooses him even if he is a evil!!!!! GIVE ME RECS PLEASE!!!
Oh yes me too
Me too!
Well, I was watching and thinking they reminded me of something...Then, it clicked: Feyre & Rhys, from ACOTAR. It's a book series.
@@Gigi-ud4mz ohhh yeeees. Sadly I also red the
books, but @Jacky you will love them.
