In the books Jesper describes Wylan as looking like a lost prince who fell into the wrong story, so you saying that he looks like a fairytale character just shows how perfect Jack Wolfe's casting was!
No 'cause for real! I saw him and I was like, "He looks like an animated character straight from a game." He looks unreal and HIS VOICE?? Dude is a literal musical actor he's perfect
"Too bad for Alby then." PLEASE. This made me laugh out loud. Also, I will never forgive Nina for interrupting the Kanej moment in the tomb. Girl, let them stare into each others eyes in peace.
i feel so bad for genya, shes been through a lot and was hurt so much…. the royal family and kirigan and his shadows did so much damage to her i just want the best for her especially after all that happens in this season
show writers f-ed up and left a lot out. Genya deserved better, I know Leigh admitted to not re-reading her own works but I had hoped the show writers would have and could have neutrally pointed out all the politics and literal game of thrones things that happened with Genya. First, Darkling never gave genya to the king. He assigned Genya to the QUEEN. Genya even says this in s1 and in the books. Darkling made Genya become a spy for the Queen. She was meant to be in the Queen’s court and under the Queen’s protection. The queen is the one who demanded Genya stay at the Grand Palace to constantly fix her, and demanded Genya only tailor her. Queen Tatiana was a Fjerdan born nobility - she could have changed thr King’s mind on thr Grisha at any moment which is why a spy is essential. Again she was only suppose to be a spy for the Queen. When she tells him what the king did, he offers her a way out or a chance to get revenge. When she tells Nikolai what the king did, Nikolai offers the KING stay and face trial or take up the impossible to turn down deal where you get NO TRIAL, no accountability, live a “life of luxury” and safety, no more worries about ruling, and you can even go to the warm southern islands (chapter 11 R&R). Kings almost never face trial for their actions. SaB show writers didn’t bother bringing any of this up
Girl, you're getting swept away by the slow burn and missing what Kaz is saying... Focus! 😂 When Kaz says people don't know his real weakness, he's talking about Inej... He knows his feelings/worry for her makes him weak. It messes with his planning. That's how he knew how to exploit Pekka's love for his son. Kanej is the ship I'm staying on till my other ship sails (Nikolai and.........)
@@Awesomesauce1_8_6_4 Absolutely nobody 😂🤣😂 In fact, between Kaz's cheekbones and Nikolai finally having a face outside my books, I processed very little info on the first watch! 🫠🫣🥴
@@darylridingamotorcycle666 true true, he also said said he would wear the darkling's clothes because he thinks he looks great in black 😉 (i agree lolol)
I think they would probably hate each other because they have very different motivations. I mean, Kaz wants to destroy the people who hurt him and protect the people he cares for, and Kirigan doesn't really care for anyone, has no regard for human life, and is willing to sacrifice anyone to get what he wants. Besides, Kaz is a criminal mastermind despite having no powers, while Kirigan just uses brute force for everything
Kaz suffers from a condition called haphephobia - an intense fear of being touched/touching others. it stems from trauma he suffered in his childhood - the next episodes touch (no pun intended) a little more on that.
kanej is slow slow slow slow burn over two books, theyre both basically not really good with touch for their respective reasons, they want to touch each other but they cant and it makes it so angsty tense and interesting + the bond they have in general is amazing i love them so much
Kaz and Inje have some trauma so physical touch is hard, and also Kaz doesn't know how to deal with his feelings towards her so he's always trying to push her away.... as a Kinaj shipper I'm suffering!
Kirigan gave Genya to the Queen as a servant and then the king repeatedly r***d her. Kirigan didn't do anything to stop the king or protect her even though he claims he wants to protect the grisha. Thats is why Genya hates Kirigan and the king.
Then genya should hate Nikolai in the books. Nik does worse than nothing, he rewards the king with early retirement wherever he wanted to go even the southern colonies to live a life of luxury and get more girls
@@mggardiner4066 yeah, what the show writers forgot to mention was that she was assigned to the Queen to be a spy. That the queen was Fjerdan and needed to be watched closely to make sure she didn’t order anything against the Grisha.
@@ullamorozova somewhat true, but you also see that he is frustrated that he can't legally do more. He basically sets it up as banishment to be kind (more for his mother) but also as a way to force the Tsar out and so Genya doesn't have to deal with them or the risk to her. And he can threaten that violating that gives them more grounds to fully prosecute him if he comes back + it gives time to really get the court and legal system under his control so he could actually execute him or sentence him to harsh imprisonment without having a coup. Sadly nobles historically get cranky when people punish other nobles and rulers like you would ordinary people. A public trial would probably result in people targeting Genya sadly even though she is innocent in regards to seduction (it would also reveal she poisoned the Tsar) , and I think both she and Nikolia realize that
@@ullamorozova you'd think he could have sent an adult who volunteered though, or waited until she wasn't a tween before pressuring her into that. The least he could have done was make his Grisha treat her better
Kirigan gave Genya as a gift to the royal family and the King sexually abused her the entire time. Kirigan knew but did nothing because he needed Genya to be close to the family
Darkling made Genya become a spy for the Queen. She was meant to be in the Queen’s court and under the Queen’s protection. The queen is the one who demanded Genya stay at the Grand Palace to constantly fix her, and demanded Genya only tailor her. Queen Tatiana was a Fjerdan born nobility - she could have changed thr King’s mind on thr Grisha at any moment which is why a spy is essential. Again she was only suppose to be a spy for the Queen.

@@ullamorozova Ohhh sorry it's been a while since I read the books and I've forgotten a lot of things. I was mainly running with the show since Genya told him how he used her to satisfy a king. I knew the Darkling didn't give her to the king, just that the king obviously took advantage of her, so I said the royal family in general but now I know she was gifted specifically to the Queen, which is still messed up regardless
The cane actually is not part of kaz's backstory actually, he broke his leggi falling from a high and it never healed. The author of the books has a bone problem and she started using the cane when she was writing kaz character, so this was a way for her to confrot the news
i was rly into kirigan last season, this time he actually annoyed me! i was truly manipulated by the darkling 😭 i blame ben barnes for bein so fine it blinded me i didn’t care for mal at all last time, but i found myself liking him more this time around. however… i like alina and nikolai’s chemistry more sorry 🙏
@@ullamorozova I think they could have done better this season, but the book one did get very mustache twirly and over the top in the second 2 books. I respect that they brought his ruthlessness and selfishness as it developed as well as his struggle with his emotions, but I think they leaned too heavily into the illness thing and left out a bit about how the centuries have been pressing down on his mind
"Have you checked on Mal, because he's missing" funny story about this side plot lmao Watching people go into shadow and bone for kirigan and watching them slowly add kaz to the list is my favorite thing
So at first Alina and Kirigan didn't know the other one was alive. So they both thought they were dreaming. David explained there is leftover from the stag amplifier that connects them. Once Kirigan realized this he now purposely projects to where she is. Because he's projecting to her physical location and not in a dream his actions are tangible and real.
@@ullamorozova OMG when I saw that, I immediately leapt out of my chair and screamed. I LOVE tolya but i do NOT support the ship. But I know Inej wants a man who can be completely vulnerable with her and tolya might be that man!!! And they're going to be on that ship (literally) for quite awhile!! No matter what, I'm rooting for Kaz forever.
@@stormy6029uh hell no. Kaz and Inej are endgame. And just because they can't touch just yet doesn't mean that they can't heal in the future. Kaz has trauma related to touch and so does Inej. Besides a relationship doesn't have to be super physical to be valid as a relationship. Tolya and Inej literally just looked at eachother. They wouldn't be bothering with the whole Kanej slowburn if they were setting Inej and Tolya up.
it's like looking in a mirror. you and i are reaction twins. i had the very same feelings about kirigan, (giggle included) kanej, and mal. can't wait for part 2. and "the cut" is kirgan's signature move.
Oh my god! I love your reaction! Shipping just everyone and having a blast! You are Hilarious! 😆 Also bit of a clarification about our boy Kaz. He can't stand skin on skin contact, cause he was dumped with all the dead bodies when he was a kid. SO that's why he was all shaky when he helped Inej with her wounds and that's why he always wears gloves. Major PTSD. Poor boy. 🥲
I am more excited watching you watch this show than I was watching it myself for the first time, so thank you for that 😂❤ Also, that way you giggle every time the Darkling appears was so cute, and also same haha
I love how your reactions to Kirigan and Kanej were the same as mine😂. I didn't like the crows that much last season probably bc of Kirigan and Alina story (it was way more interesting to me) but now they are my favorite part of this season and show actually. Can't wait for the second part😁
Bin Bons and Kazzle Dazzle literally stole my heart the first season but gosh darn it I’m a sucker for musicians so I gotta say Wylan is up there in my top favs now. But frick- why is everyone in this show to attractive!?! Idk if you enjoy reading but you would like the books. The show and books are very different so don’t expect to be getting the same exact story but I definitely recommend checking them out! Six of Crows is the better series in my opinion and takes place after the events of Shadow and Bone but the whole universe is just awesome!
You're gonna stop coming for my man Mal! He *is* the moment. He *is* the prize. Okay?!? I love a supportive partner of a powerful person. Besides, Mal has been very useful throughout the series and a very stable partner for Alina (which, she needs during all of this chaos). Plus, he's HOT, HOT, HOTTTT. I won't lie, though, I was also sort of shipping Alina with Nikolai and ended up loving the sort of polyamorous relationship that the three of them have. - Also, I had the *exact same thoughts about Wylan!* From him looking like a mouse to him looking young. Thats quite hilarious. Its like you were in my mind for that part. Lol. - Part 2 is EVEN better and I'm hoping that you see who the superior ship is by the end. I can't waiiiittt for your reaction to that! Hahaha.
I love that when I first started watching this show I went in for Ben Barnes, then fell in love with the Crows and Malina and now hate Kirigan. I love my progression.
all these other shadow and bone reactors love mal (who i hate) and it is so good to see other opinions. it's like a breath of fresh air for us darkling lovers. never change!
Lakia I love you and your reactions so much ❤❤ you are so underrated and deserve way more subscribers!! Never stop reacting please. I also love how you're genuinely enjoy shadow and bone
potential spoiler warning here :D Kaz actually has haphephobia, the fear of touching or being touched by other people, hence why he reactedso strongly to the prison cart situation. in six of crows its actually a lot more intense
Yeah so darkles send genya to the king since she was a child and darkles knew what the king was doing to her but he still was letting her there because for the "greater good " or something
Nope. show writers f-ed up to make you hate him even more. He never gave genya to the king. He assigned Genya to the QUEEN. Genya even says this in s1 and in the books. Darkling made Genya become a spy for the Queen. She was meant to be in the Queen’s court and under the Queen’s protection.

that intro had me HOWLING omg 🤣 & yeah kirigan is officially named "shadow daddy" in my house lmaooo literally here for him & the crows. kaz holds my heart. & i'm definitely shipping alina & the captain, mal is unseasoned chicken.
explanation Genya you asked for: the darkling gave her when she was nine as a gift to the king. this was so she could spy for him but the king meanwhile groped her.
I totally agree with you about Mal and Alina, they just don’t have that SPARK! They just give off friend vibes to me! And I think it has to do with actor chemistry! They are both really good at acting, and it has nothing to do with their abilities as actors, it’s just that chemistry is either there with actors or it isn’t. And I don’t feel that chemistry between them. Rather than it coming naturally between them, it’s as if they have to work to get that romantic relationship aspect flowing.
Chemistry is 80% acting, imo. Sure, being on good terms with the other actor is a huge plus, but I've seen shows in which married couples act and it still feels like there's no chemistry. It's all about planning and calculating and sharing the same idea about how the fictional couple should be (and it's not just the actors, the writers and the director are also involved). Not saying Jessie and Archie are bad actors though. My take is that it's all on purpose, because of what we find out in the second half of the season. Maybe we're supposed to not ship the relationship at this point, so that they start over and make it better later...or she ends up with someone else.
I didn’t particularly like how they rushed into the Sea whip but took the rest of the season with the Firebird until it was convenient. I also felt like there was so many unnecessary scene cuts😂 like just as we made progress with plot A, the show cut it and took us to Plot B and vice versa. I needed balance😂😂
Yours is the first reaction of s2 that I'm watching BC as someone who read all the books I hate how this session is a frankenstein monster off all the books
You seem to like the feisty storylines.. White Collar and Leverage might be shows you'd like. (both very clever, with some comedy) Idk if you've seen them but they may be worth a go :)
@@bruh-ok5ks I mean I feel chemistry with them but that might just be me, I knew they were bland in the books, I have never read them but from what Ive heard. But I always liked them in the show.
Marina's love story isn't chaotic and dysfunctional enough for TV. I'm rooting for them, but that's purely because I can't have her close to Nikolai like that 👀🤷🏽♀️🫠
Grisha live a long life depending on the amount of power they have. Alina is one of the most powerful grisha alive right now so she's going to live for hundreds of years if not nearly a 1,000 years
I don't know about yall, but when I saw Tolya I was like.....Leewwiissss😍😍😍😍 I felt more chemistry between Nikolai and Alina, than with Mal😅 Bz Mal is so uninteresting, Lakia kept mispronouncing his name🤣🤣🤣
Also I think in the tv show they did the best they could to make the malina ship work and mal more likeable bc in the books I was not having any of it, he was just not the better ship, Nikolai and the darkling easily have better chemistry with Alina. Malina to me should be platonic not romantic
Finally someone understands that other than "the orphan best firiends turned crushes turn lovers because of destiny" plot it can't compare to a good enemies to lovers or light and darkness love plotline with complicated feelings. Ooh Darkina all the way. Although he would have to redeem himself he used her and too many other ppl but then again he's lived 100 of years and prolly tried everything good and just under the sun for peace between Grisha and Ravka
My opinion! After we know darklina isn’t endgame (😭😭😭) … I want Alina and Nikolai - the chemistry between them is good and even so much better than scenes between Mal and her! Mal and Alina have NO love chemistry. Friendship yeah ok… but not hot fire love! 🔥
You freaking out over everything is so relatable lmao. Tbh, I understand that Mal and Alina are *it* but I'm just not feeling it, not in the books and not in the show

Also bit of a clarification about our boy Kaz. He can't stand skin on skin contact, cause he was dumped with all the dead bodies when he was a kid. SO that's why he was all shaky when he helped Inej with her wounds and that's why he always wears gloves. Major PTSD. Poor boy. 🥲
Not Lakia forgetting Genya’s storyline in season one because she was too focused on the darkling lmao 😂 I get it
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO SEE IT SIS!!!!!!
whyyyyy have i been waiting for this video since season 2 came out tho?!? 💜💜
Lol it was just last week 😭
@@LakiaJaiTV giiiirl I know lmao but still 🤣😂
I am more excited watching you watch this show than I was watching it myself for the first time, so thank you for that 😂❤
Also, that way you giggle every time the Darkling appears was so cute, and also same haha
If not the Darkling though. I shall accept Nikolai he a good one too
The hight pitch of your laugh remember me the Gloria's laugh from Madagascar 2. Make me smile each time.
ive been waitinng AHHH also this szn is literally AMAZINGGGGGG LOVE YOUUUUU
🥰🥰
also i literally love you 10 times more for knowing nikolai from the darkest minds
I love this show so much. I got a new puppy last week and named him JESPER!!
ben barns os hard carrying. he said 'i'll be back for you' and i crumbled. alina could never be me
🎉🎉I was anxiously waiting for this!!❤❤❤❤
I love how your reactions to Kirigan and Kanej were the same as mine😂. I didn't like the crows that much last season probably bc of Kirigan and Alina story (it was way more interesting to me) but now they are my favorite part of this season and show actually. Can't wait for the second part😁
The moment I met Wylan, I knew he would be my favourite. Hahaha
I rate my ships based on chemistry too😅
if it's hot, it's hot. I don't make the rules
Bin Bons and Kazzle Dazzle literally stole my heart the first season but gosh darn it I’m a sucker for musicians so I gotta say Wylan is up there in my top favs now. But frick- why is everyone in this show to attractive!?!
Idk if you enjoy reading but you would like the books. The show and books are very different so don’t expect to be getting the same exact story but I definitely recommend checking them out! Six of Crows is the better series in my opinion and takes place after the events of Shadow and Bone but the whole universe is just awesome!
I got 16:10 into episode 1 and said i gotta come and see what Lakia thinkssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I NEED YOUR PART 2 REACTION NOW!!!!!
you and your malina opinions are literally me while watching.
YES! Finally (also the verse of the video 🫡🥹 needed that lol)
You're gonna stop coming for my man Mal! He *is* the moment. He *is* the prize. Okay?!? I love a supportive partner of a powerful person. Besides, Mal has been very useful throughout the series and a very stable partner for Alina (which, she needs during all of this chaos). Plus, he's HOT, HOT, HOTTTT. I won't lie, though, I was also sort of shipping Alina with Nikolai and ended up loving the sort of polyamorous relationship that the three of them have.
-
Also, I had the *exact same thoughts about Wylan!* From him looking like a mouse to him looking young. Thats quite hilarious. Its like you were in my mind for that part. Lol.
-
Part 2 is EVEN better and I'm hoping that you see who the superior ship is by the end. I can't waiiiittt for your reaction to that! Hahaha.
I love that when I first started watching this show I went in for Ben Barnes, then fell in love with the Crows and Malina and now hate Kirigan. I love my progression.
Yaaaaassss so good! You're hilarious love ur reactions
Thank you 🥰🥰
all these other shadow and bone reactors love mal (who i hate) and it is so good to see other opinions. it's like a breath of fresh air for us darkling lovers. never change!
same
Lakia I love you and your reactions so much ❤❤ you are so underrated and deserve way more subscribers!! Never stop reacting please. I also love how you're genuinely enjoy shadow and bone
potential spoiler warning here :D
Kaz actually has haphephobia, the fear of touching or being touched by other people, hence why he reactedso strongly to the prison cart situation. in six of crows its actually a lot more intense
ahhhh i love ur channel!!!
Thank you 🥰🥰
Yeah so darkles send genya to the king since she was a child and darkles knew what the king was doing to her but he still was letting her there because for the "greater good " or something
Nope. show writers f-ed up to make you hate him even more. He never gave genya to the king. He assigned Genya to the QUEEN. Genya even says this in s1 and in the books. Darkling made Genya become a spy for the Queen. She was meant to be in the Queen’s court and under the Queen’s protection. The queen is the one who demanded Genya stay at the Grand Palace to constantly fix her, and demanded Genya only tailor her. Queen Tatiana was a Fjerdan born nobility - she could have changed thr King’s mind on thr Grisha at any moment which is why a spy is essential. Again she was only suppose to be a spy for the Queen. When she tells him what the king did, he offers her a way out or a chance to get revenge. When she tells Nikolai what the king did, Nikolai offers the KING stay and face trial or take up the impossible to turn down deal where you get NO TRIAL, no accountability, live a “life of luxury” and safety, no more worries about ruling, and you can even go to the warm southern islands (chapter 11 R&R). Kings almost never face trial for their actions. SaB show writers didn’t bother bringing any of this up
I'm the same way watching this show LOL shipping everyone but mal and alina
that intro had me HOWLING omg 🤣 & yeah kirigan is officially named "shadow daddy" in my house lmaooo literally here for him & the crows. kaz holds my heart. & i'm definitely shipping alina & the captain, mal is unseasoned chicken.
you're so real for this reaction, and the comments about malina and darklina. darklina 100%
I was looking forward to your reactions to this! ♥ :D
I'm in love with the editing of this video!
This show makes me so happy my name is Alina bc Ben Barnes 😩
You so real for the thumbnail
Just FYI Mal is pronounced like the beginning of the word malignant. You say Mel like Melanie 😅
explanation Genya you asked for: the darkling gave her when she was nine as a gift to the king. this was so she could spy for him but the king meanwhile groped her.
4:19 literally was like whoooo are you?? If you’ve seen the OA, it’s Steve!
such an AMAZING cast this season. I just finished it and i need season 3 NEOWW.
I totally agree with you about Mal and Alina, they just don’t have that SPARK! They just give off friend vibes to me! And I think it has to do with actor chemistry! They are both really good at acting, and it has nothing to do with their abilities as actors, it’s just that chemistry is either there with actors or it isn’t. And I don’t feel that chemistry between them. Rather than it coming naturally between them, it’s as if they have to work to get that romantic relationship aspect flowing.
Chemistry is 80% acting, imo. Sure, being on good terms with the other actor is a huge plus, but I've seen shows in which married couples act and it still feels like there's no chemistry. It's all about planning and calculating and sharing the same idea about how the fictional couple should be (and it's not just the actors, the writers and the director are also involved). Not saying Jessie and Archie are bad actors though. My take is that it's all on purpose, because of what we find out in the second half of the season. Maybe we're supposed to not ship the relationship at this point, so that they start over and make it better later...or she ends up with someone else.
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!! HEYYY QUEEN!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Not Oli London agreeing with Alina and Nickolai ship 🤣🤣
I didn’t particularly like how they rushed into the Sea whip but took the rest of the season with the Firebird until it was convenient. I also felt like there was so many unnecessary scene cuts😂 like just as we made progress with plot A, the show cut it and took us to Plot B and vice versa. I needed balance😂😂
Omg girl I was waiting for u to post this
Yours is the first reaction of s2 that I'm watching BC as someone who read all the books I hate how this session is a frankenstein monster off all the books
I'VE BEEN WAITING
the simping over Kirigan is off the charts,
then again i gess im the same way with Wylan
You seem to like the feisty storylines.. White Collar and Leverage might be shows you'd like. (both very clever, with some comedy) Idk if you've seen them but they may be worth a go :)
I never realised people hated Malina to be honest, like they are adorable, I dont understand.
I don’t hate them lol I said they were cute 😅 I just don’t ship them
@@LakiaJaiTV That's fair enough ahaha i respect your honesty
they're just very bland unfortunately (book and show),, jessie and archie's non-existant chemistry is another factor
@@bruh-ok5ks I mean I feel chemistry with them but that might just be me, I knew they were bland in the books, I have never read them but from what Ive heard. But I always liked them in the show.
Marina's love story isn't chaotic and dysfunctional enough for TV. I'm rooting for them, but that's purely because I can't have her close to Nikolai like that 👀🤷🏽♀️🫠
Grisha live a long life depending on the amount of power they have. Alina is one of the most powerful grisha alive right now so she's going to live for hundreds of years if not nearly a 1,000 years
The cut is probably when kirigan uses his power to cut a person in two
You are me throughout this show!
this show has no right!! btw we love your channel! 😈💚
🫢🫢 thank you, omg I love y’all’s channel as well. ❤️❤️
I don't know about yall, but when I saw Tolya I was like.....Leewwiissss😍😍😍😍
I felt more chemistry between Nikolai and Alina, than with Mal😅
Bz Mal is so uninteresting, Lakia kept mispronouncing his name🤣🤣🤣
Also I think in the tv show they did the best they could to make the malina ship work and mal more likeable bc in the books I was not having any of it, he was just not the better ship, Nikolai and the darkling easily have better chemistry with Alina. Malina to me should be platonic not romantic
100% would have worked better as platonic friends. There was no chemistry there, sorry Archie
11:49 literally all of us
Hi! Question. How u get the footage like screen recording on Netflix? Bc Netflix always blocks it for me… many thanks :)
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
my name is Alina too and everytime ben barnes says "my alina" I be giggling and kicking my feet FR
SAME
Finally someone understands that other than "the orphan best firiends turned crushes turn lovers because of destiny" plot it can't compare to a good enemies to lovers or light and darkness love plotline with complicated feelings. Ooh Darkina all the way. Although he would have to redeem himself he used her and too many other ppl but then again he's lived 100 of years and prolly tried everything good and just under the sun for peace between Grisha and Ravka
each and every person in the cast is so hot, it's insane lmao
do any of y’all watch sanditon bc the prince at 45:51 is the duke on there !!!
best youtuber ever!!1
I'm glad not the only one who thinks Wayland is too young for jesper
Day one of asking lakia to make a commentary on Anne with an E ❤
Completely divert to nikolai alina so fast after seeing the PRIVATEER 🥴
i love nikolai and alina but i love nikolai and a certain other person way more so
You being delusional about there being hope for a romance between Kirigan and Alina now make me LAUGH 🤣😭
actors have the best chemistry MAlina feels like sibling even Nikolai and Alina has better chemistry
Mel and Alina didnt have that passion like Alina and Kirigan
I love this, but we need more outerbanks
My opinion! After we know darklina isn’t endgame (😭😭😭) … I want Alina and Nikolai - the chemistry between them is good and even so much better than scenes between Mal and her! Mal and Alina have NO love chemistry. Friendship yeah ok… but not hot fire love! 🔥
Ok but imagine how shook I am with that intro where there's a picture of Nikolai and Wylan next to each other and i was like: WAIT A DAMN MINUTE-
Hey where did you get the gojo poster in the background? Love your reactions btw! ❤❤❤❤
EMW Art
Nikolai and Tolya are my new crushes 😻
You freaking out over everything is so relatable lmao. Tbh, I understand that Mal and Alina are *it* but I'm just not feeling it, not in the books and not in the show
