SEXYBACK | alina & nikolai & the darkling

maybe you could be monsters together.
*
this modern au is for all the darkolinas out there.
tbqh, this may be one of the most self-indulgent vids i've ever done and i'm not entirely sure the plot other than it ran away from me with its own vibes. and OF COURSE i threw in ulla morozova because why not. truly i am here for darkolina and the morozova family all day every day.
every time i remember s2 ended with dark!alina and dark!nikolai.... chefs kiss. it nearly makes up for the fact nikolai and aleksander share only one canon scene together where one is on the pyre. almost.
also apparently? i have never posted a full darkolina vid to this channel? im so sorry tbh know i scream about it on twitter an embarrassing amount. truly, if there is a s3, this is what i'd be looking forward to the most.
dedicated to my fellow darkolina truthers, ‪@dominoesrising‬ and ofc ‪@Bellsilili‬, who is my fellow unhinged darkolina half. it's been wild.
ps. this song use was heavily inspired by this gorgeous cara mason video (lots my beloved): • Cara Mason | Sexyback and the witcher voiceover was inspired by this gorgeous work • Hufflepuff House • The... !
pss. i was further inspired by the chaos that is ben, paddy and jessie and their reaction of the finale together & subsequent costume fitting bts. "you're the darkling now, i pass the torch" everything tbh

[@HeartPhantom]

aw shucks THANK YOU! i finally vidded nikolai! WHICH I MEAN, IS AN AU, BUT LISTEN

[@CrAZychicke]

This modern au killed me. Favourite part was the whole aesthetic, 'we can be monsters together' and the stuff blowing up in the bg with both BB and Nic walking forwards. I was also like 'why is Leta/Selina in this' but didn't mind one bit because it added to the vibe (I realise now she's an OC). I'm also used to BB being surrounded my marauders/hp fancast so amazing edit! Mostly watch the show through edits so sorry if I missed something...

[@HeartPhantom]

Aw shucks thank you!! And Leta/Selina is a fancast for Ulla who is canonically the darkling's half sister! Love her. Thanks for the comment! ❤️

[@CrAZychicke]

@@HeartPhantom ohhh thanks for the info! that makes sense :P

[@tibbygreene]

Another breathtaking video. I love the manipulation at 1:04. Let your imagination take over and we will be entitled to nuggets like this. I will see her and see her again often. Thanks for Ulla, who I was hoping to see in season 2 (even in flashback). I like the union of these 4 there. Thanks and bravo once again. Encore une vidéo à couper le souffle. J'adore la manipulation à 1:04. Laisse bien ton imagination prendre le dessus et nous aurons droit à des pépites de la sorte. Je vais la voir et la revoir souvent. Merci pour Ulla, que j'espérais voir dans la saison 2 (même en flashback). J'aime l'union de ces 4 là. Merci et encore bravo.

[@HeartPhantom]

aw shucks, thanks! glad you liked it!!!! ❤️
