Okayyyy hear me out

These are Nikolai’s rules, but the Darkling seems to follow them all without talking about them

1) The less you say the more your words will carry- Aleks doesn’t talk much, he only ever has real conversations with Alina

2) Don’t argue, never deign to deny- he lets every rumour add to his reputation

3) Weakness is a guise- he pretends to be weaker than he is to stay close to the king for all those centuries

4) Use whatever or whoever is in front of you- isn’t that basically what he did with Genya?

5) Being a leader means that someone is always watching you- cold, unreadable and emotionless unless he’s only with Alina (and sometimes not even then)

6) Get them to follow the little orders and they’ll follow the big ones- we see the start of this with Alina when she refuses to wear black and then wears his kefta; she becomes dependent on his visits later

7) It’s okay to flout expectations, but never to disappoint them- he is strict with his soldiers to ensure their safety, but he also expects only the best of himself as their leader

Nikolai and Darkles are two sides of the same coin; bent a long time ago to alter them in opposite ways.

Welcome to my aogg/awae sideblog ✨

If @fntasy-violence follows you that’s me!

Here is a little bit of info about myself:

I grew up watching the aogg (1985) movies and my 6th grade English teacher introduced us to awae (when it first premiered) after reading a shortened version of Anne of Green Gables in class. I’m going on a trip to PEI this summer which has restarted my obsession with Anne 👒

I have yet to read the aogg series, but it’s definitely something I want to start soon (and maybe I’ll share my thoughts/reaction here)

Anyways I decided to start this sideblog to not overrun my main @fntasy-violence or atla/tlok sideblog @sugarqueen-katara so hi <3

TIMMY REVIEW:

THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by MATT HAIG

MY RATING:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?:

I would most definitely recommend this book for anyone is and/or isn't struggling with themselves as a way to show you, your right track in life and what you should look for.

MY OVERALL OPINION:

I saw this book while looking in the bookstore and it caught my eye in a way I didn't think it would, and it lived up far beyond my expectations and I fell in love.

It goes through the life some have either gone through or are going through and touches on heavy subjects only few can take to read. It's not a book I would take lightly, which I did until I started reading this novel, but it teaches the best lesson you could learn in life: 'the purpose of life is life itself'
