The Darkling & Alina | Paint it Black

[@nyxldx]

[GUNSHOT] [CAR CRASH] [BOOM] [PEOPLE SCREAMING] [SIRENS] [GLASS BREAKS] [DISTANT YELLING] [EXPLOSION] [HELICOPTERS AND NEWS TRUCKS] "...WE’RE REPORTING LIVE FROM THE SCENE-" [AMBULANCE SIRENS] "MY LEG... MY LEG!" ANNA? aNnA? -*taking you by the shoulders* _Anna!_ how dare you call this masterpiece of an edit "half-baked". Ik perfectionists are harsh and into self-flagellation but pookie, I need you to put that whip down! This edit.... where to even start. The texts ARE gorgeous. Shut up, they are. As a member of "can't make them look presentable for the life of me, so let's skip them" club, you always, _always_ know how to do them justice. You don't need to do something fancy or extra, the beauty is also in its simplicity! The manip is perfect, idk what you're smocking to make you think otherwise. But I had my eyes GLUED on screen rewatching this edit over and over and they look amazing to me! Now, as beautiful as the editing is, it's not just two hot ppl on screen, are they? Nope, it's it girl, babygirl, angel face Alina getting the ending we all have been wanting since the early book years with _the_ most perfect Darkling fancast 😌 "You did it, you created the fold. You killed my friends" "Semantics." SEE HOW YOU EVEN NAILED DOWN GIS PERSONALITY?! The 3 P's: pretty, powerful, petty. the ditw reference 🤬😩🤡💔💀 *insert coriolanus snow screaming clip* "aRE yOu TrYiNg tO KiLl mE?!" The way you absolutely nailed, delivered, ate left no crumb so many book references and creating the beautiful world of grishaverse- I-I hope you know you're legally bound to _never_ delete this edit for no reason whatsoever. Otherwise you'll be dealing with a lawsuit for further emotional damage. ily this is everything I wanted darklina to be. If I ever get my ass to write any of the fics I hd in mind your edits are gonna be what I'll watch over and over for further inspo points. Have fun in your vocations ♥️ (and sorry if you find any typos. I just woke up)

[@moonreverie]

omg help sof skksjsjdkdjdjdjd thank you so much for your long comment 🥺 I'm so glad you liked it❤❤ and I hope you manage to finish your fanfiction or else I'm at your door!!

[@HeartPhantom]

the aesthetics and darkling aesthetics?! IM EATING IT UP!!! also the baghra scene oh my god

[@sanayairani3175]

EVERYBODY FELT FOR MANNY JACINTO0...I hope we will see him again as an interresting character like Qimir

[@moonreverie]

yesss!!!! I think 'balestra' looks interesting and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the acolyte s2🤞👀

[@newtsbeastx]

MANNY JACINTO AS THE DARKLING FANCAST???? BROOO WE REALLY WON

[@moonreverie]

HE IS PERFECT FOR HIM😭🤌

[@Bellsilili]

THE PRISONER VOICEOVER i knew it was coming but i screamed

[@ItsJessEdits]

STOP I ACTUALLY LOVE HIM AS THE DARKLING. i love ben barnes, but I think i was hoping for an actor that hadn't really shined yet to a large audience like that. I think this actor is so unique and intriguing - love this take on him as the darkling!

[@moonreverie]

yessss!!! manny feels like the perfect darkling😩 especially qimir's dialogue is so him coded!! I was screaming my way through the acolyte ksskhdkdid

[@HeartPhantom]

God It is a masterpiece ❤ Omg Tbh this is such an unexpected combo but ur manip just do it perfectly and he rlly looks like the Darkling? (Like i know him long before the series Acolyte comes out for the series the good place so to me i thought he is always gonna be that silly Jianyu but wow u just did really convince me to try this show. Lol Why he looks soooo hot😂😂) And lastly i have to tell u that i will always love Darklina edit from u with all my heart. Dark!Alina + Book!darklina vibe is the best taste ever and definitely total ur brand. Always thank u for blessing us with ur brilliant works 💕💕
