well done for ruining the vid with that music...

They remind me of klaroline 😭

I was hoping it was a dark romance novel tbh. They were it for me

Well he broke his own heart by claiming Alina’s power instead of actually letting himself feel something for her. He could have had that, all of it. Like Alina said, but I think he ruined any chance of ever getting with her. I’m sure Alina would have a hard time trusting him again after killing innocent people and especially after abusing her power and taking it for himself.

It's so complicated that I don't know if at any point he had any genuine and real feelings for Alina.

like come on, i get it darkling used alina for his own benefit but would you really stop dead in your tracks, stare 'emotionlessly' at the person and is about to tear up upon hearing the words "she fled on her own", and then afterwards have hints of resignation in your tone, look down and ask "where is she." extra ( copied and pasted because its true ) The complexity of the situation is what makes The Darkling such a good character... Obviously you aren't supposed to like or excuse his actions towards Alina, it is horrible... But you do see his points and his reasoning, and guess what? They are good reasons... His goal is to gain control of the Fold so he can use it as a deterrent for any conflict against his country and specially his people (Grisha); we can of course say that this is violent, tyrannical and "wrong", but not from his perspective... He has lived for a very long time, watched and experienced the persecution towards the Grisha thru generations, never changing, never getting better no matter what he did... He tried hiding, didn't work, he tried being useful, helping the king at the time, fighting for him, the hatred towards Grisha was still there; he has tried every other solution that someone like Alina can possibly come up with as a 'better way', she (and the other characters) are young and naïve compared to what he has experienced... So from his POV when he says "Being the top dog and threatening them it's the only way to keep Grisha safe", he actually knows this to be true from experience, this is the only solution left; and is Alina or any of the other characters really qualified or knowledgeable enough to tell him otherwise? That it's also why he took control of Alina instead of telling her his plan and giving her a choice... He doesn't trust that she would understand the reasoning behind his plans and he is not willing to risk it; he has waited too long for this, he is not leaving anything to chance or to the whims of a person that doesn't understand the extent of the problem and hard choices that need to be made to fix it (This is all from his POV)... Yeah, it is fucked up what he is doing and you have to oppose it on principle; but when you think about it, see his experiences, watch it from his POV, etc. Did they really give him another choice but to say "fuck it, I'm taking over"?

I'm here after season 2 😩

If Aleksander had been brought up by parents who loved him, in a world where Shadow Summoners and Grisha were equal…. He would’ve been the sweetest boy in the world. Villains aren’t born. They’re made. Now go read Demon In The Woods by Leigh Bardugo.

2:44 He looks like he could play a Stark in Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon

Series/movie name pls

im team maeve BUT THEY WERE SO CUTE

No matter who feels what I'll always choose and support Mal. My boy literally died just so he could meet her and I hope the writers can show us with much more potential to the Maline ship in the future. Ik the bad guy obsession over Darking everyone has and I enjoy it and they have so much chemistry and fire but please I'm judging them based on how toxic they'll be together and he's manipulative and I don't want them😫🤚

If they want us to hate him why would they cast ben barnes the guy is one of the most gorgeous charming men ever

Como editaste la cancion ?

Incredible edit!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

she was just a sheltered girl who didnt understand the bigger politics of the world she thought it was cruel of him to control the shadow fold instead of destroy it. in all fairness to him he did hesitate to give her time to kill the stag and claim the power for herself when she failed to do so he realized she didnt have it in her to the right thing for her own people. she had no idea that sometimes you have to do something cruel to make a point. so he did what he had to. to have the power to reshape the shadow fold and force peace. what a disappointment alina is and in the end she loses her power.

bro my heart can't handle this rn

someone said he wasn't in love with Alina ? oh yes sure....🤣🤣🤣

Alina is a frustrating character. She was the reason her friends were killed, because she made the dumb decision to burn the maps so that they would be forced to cross the fold. Then she misunderstood her one and only best friend Mal. And she never tried to understand the Darkling either. She doesn’t deserve to be a main character.

where’s the project file?

Ese fue los últimos minuto que alina le miraba con admiración al general.😔😔

2:59 when kaz said she fled on her own, his face and heart literally drop. It also looks like he's starting to tear up, like he's about to start crying

"Don't recommend this channel."

Ben Barnes soo fantastic

I want them to end up together.Give him a redemption arc ,make him less toxic,anything. I don't care cus otherwise it would be such a waste.Its a crime against cinema.

Klaus Mikaelson ~ Aleksander 💘

Honestly if he would ask me to destroy the world with him I wouldn't even hesitate lol

If you live long enough it’s hard for the human heart not to harden and the soul not to darken.

Every scene you can just see the moment when his heart rips in half. And every scene it’s like a dagger being driven into mine, why u do this

I’m sad watching this. Poor Aleks. 💔

Ben Barnes really did a great job as Darkling. We can see emotions in his eyes. I have read books...but this was another level :)

this is exactly what my darklina obsessed heart needed.

I'm feeling so sad after watching this scene I don't know why I can't stop crying

Slm

F

Who is singing this?? It’s not Ed Sheehan

I’ve decided to hate him after the last episode to stop from simping even more but this-this broke me it’s so good I don’t know whether to curse or thank you. Either way amazing job I love it (I partially blame this video and partially blame my childhood crush on benbarnes and his amazing performance)

That's the most saddest "adorable" to exist in the history of adorables 😭

It’s so sad!!! Bc he’s so bad 😭😭😫😫 Alexsander you can have love and peace and trust, but you chose judgement and distrust. why do we let the darkness harden our hearts and choose unforgiveness and bitterness. Come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest. I am the light of the world he who follows me will not walk in darkness but have the Light of Life. Choose life, that you may Live. -jesus

they must be endgame!

And just like this I'm in love with Prince Caspian all over again! 💖

They could have been sooooo perfect totgether 😭

Is this the first time they kissed !

I'm telling you if the show continues with malina it'll be canceled they're so boring and nowhere near popular, if i think from a writer perspective i would make Darkling and Alina fall madly in love and end it with a tragedy of one having to kill the other but never hating each other and live in misery alone with no partner, it would make it a sad ending but a vey memorable one.

Even tho his the villain i want him to be end game, why do they make the hottest actors into the worst character witg the best acting and a sad backstory just to top it all and make me miserable, i just finished the first season and i'm depressed.

I always thought that BEN would have played an excellent Dracula. Especially when he was younger and had that long hair. Seriously he has the eyes, and make his hair grow out a bit. Whiten his skin and with his presence. We would have a winner! 🧐😎😊!

the way his heart broke when kaz said alina fled on her own 😩 the fossil went depressed

i will be so sad if they cut the darklina bond scenes from s2, that and nikolai are the only things that made s&s bearable ngl but the ending served hard

how do u do the text at the beginning?
