The Darkling & Alina | You're My Lost Cause (S2)

There was a moment when you might have earned her love, instead of claiming her power.
I still haven't escaped my curse of not being able to do a darklina vid without book quotes help
But still, this is 95% show based, I'm gonna go back to do some more stuff with them (mostly AUs) once I edited other parts of the show (nikolina, wesper, helnik, kanej etc. anyone?👀)
Dedykowane Tosi, jako spóźniony prezent urodzinowy, mam nadzieję, że ci się spodoba💖

His love will haunt her in such a beautifully sad way. If only she tried to understand him. "You live in a single moment. I live in a thousand." The best line in the show imo

[@irrumnaaz]

Oh man this is just making me cry! Why'd it have to end like this for him? 😭

[@tiffanycummings2079]

She should’ve never killed him. He wanted to stand by her side and he was even willing to take all the hate for her because he knew it would’ve been a heavy burden for her and that’s how I realized he actually does love her.

[@Mcherri]

@@tiffanycummings2079 I know despite how he was now she will walk in his shoes the world will soon hate her for the dark power she can wield just like him.

[@tiffanycummings2079]

@@Mcherri 💯 and he warned her tho but she just couldn’t see it at the time. She will soon come to realise just as Kaz Brekker I believe already realises this.

[@nyushav9600]

Yes 😭

[@HeartPhantom]

OH MY GOD?! I AM?? YELLING? I HAD LIKE 10 DIFFERENT MELTDOWNS OH MY GOD. THE PARALLELS? THE VOICE OVERS. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HAS ME ON THE FLOOR.

[@moonreverie]

I'm only getting started😏

[@arezoohivehchi5988]

She should've given him a chance. I hope she becomes like him in the next season and understand how it feels to be darkling

[@betatest5789]

He truly did love her, it wasnt pretend

[@vanessaprincesssa]

YESSSSS that is what I’VE BEEN SAYINGGGGG all along - like BAGHRA WAS WRONG and she RUSHED telling Alina TOO SOON!

[@MegaQuistis]

​@@vanessaprincesssaIn my opinion, Baghra betrayed her son. As far as I know she wasn't a saint and on TV they basically made her Gandalf... Generally everyone was toned down here and only the Darkling was shown as a one dimensional villain which he wasn't. He was always right.

[@vanessaprincesssa]

@@MegaQuistis I absolutely agree with every single word you said, thank you bestie. Every one was Mary Sue on the TV show, except the Darkling, he was Mr Bad Guy (trademark) 😆 It was dumb as hell

[@irrumnaaz]

Genuinely I'm so upset. Like really, I watched the episode last night and bawled my eyes out for two hrs, and still on the verge of tears. Like I watched this show for the Darkling, he's such a great villian, and now he's gone like that. Really don't know how I'm going to get over this. When he thought of his moment of peace and it was her I'm like ALINA GIRL COME ON!! 😩 I am so, so upset.😞

[@moonreverie]

I knowwww I wish they didn't reduce alina to just girlbossing this season and actually made her consider that maybe aleksander was in fact right (at least when it comes to the concept) and accepted that he actually has suffered A LOT, the story of the shu saint is literally his reality for centuries, give the man a break

[@irrumnaaz]

​@@moonreverieI know 😩 I don't even feel like finishing the books at this point. Soo done 😞

[@moonreverie]

@@irrumnaaz the death scene itself might be better in the books but generally....I low-key hated most of siege and storm and ruin and rising - there are way better written books out there to enjoy🤧

[@Mcherri]

@@moonreverie I know now she will walk in his shoes as being hated I reckon she will probably come to terms that maybe he was right for a lot of it as he said taking down the fold won’t do much maybe at first it would but that will change.

[@ajtopaz]

oh, you and me both alina in this season is just so bitch face selfish righteous in denial 🙄🙄🙄

[@TheSongIsEnding]

This is officially one of my favourite Darklina vids now, absolutely STUNNING work

[@moonreverie]

thank you!🥺🤍

[@SaulaDemily011]

He was so alone in this season. Tell me He will somehow come back ?! 😭 They need to be together !

[@moonreverie]

Even ivan wasn't there for him just some random people😭

[@jagos2641]

I guess he will come back because he comes back in the books

[@moonreverie]

@@jagos2641 if we get a s3 ofc, netflix cancels a lot of shows recently

[@mercedesgomez4430]

In the books he resurrects in the last book of the Grishaverse "Rule of Wolves". I don't tell you how he ends up because I don't want to ruin the finale plus in the serie a lot of things change so there is no point in telling you.

[@user-bk3cn3dm1g]

Wonderful! I cant say really how much i love this edit about Alexander. This character and his deep and painful beautiful story is so gorgeous! I wish Darkling rest in peace!

[@moonreverie]

I wish they included demon in the woods flashbacks in s2 tbh, sounds like a missed opportunity

[@lkdilk6689]

Im sorry what is this? OMG i lost every words and cry all over again🥹 all those parrallels, their scene, song and ur manip i swear everything in this vid is JUST PERFECT. Seriously u captured every their heartbreaking, deep and dark emotional story so well. +) I never expected this season is gonna be good for darklina but i also didnt see this rushed trash story coming? Where are thier complex feelings and connection for each other (and most importantly tether scene?😂) I cant say i love the books but at least in the books they do really have feelings for each other not just all hatred. I mean this season is somehow hilarious at some point and I got so upset about the way they paint darkling as just some plain villain. I dont think he is a good person but also he is not just a monster. He was a victim too and yet they just did this shit to him🤬 He deserved better and darklina deserved more! But ur vid really does justice for them. Im so sure this is wayyyyyyyy better than watching show lol Thank you sooo much for ur service 🫡

[@moonreverie]

The way I agree 100% with what you just said aaaahhh 1) darklina was bad this season like, where is my book!darklina?? Where is alina's conflicting feelings? Where are the iconic tether scenes we know? THEY TOOK AWAY THE NAME REVEAL SCENE AND GAVE US NOTHING IN RETURN THATS CALLED ROBBERY + don't get me started on whatever that death and funeral pyre scene was... 2) while aleksander is a bad person and the villain he isn't A BORING ONE DIMENSIONAL CARTOON VILLAIN, he has a lot of trauma, a right cause to fight for and is right in a lot of things 3) thank you so much for your comment🤧🌘🤍🤍🤍

[@marrificent]

I'M CRYING THE SONG, text, transitions, these parallels AAAAHHH, that's kills me, amazing work 💔

[@nomournersnofunerals]

as you know I had an hard time processing the second season of shadow and bone, and making anything related to it. But this, this is art. I just could felt your love for these two characters (butchered by the show) and how much they meant for you. This video is so angsty yet so peaceful, it's stunning 0:13 - 0:17 the lyrics and scene 🥺 0:20 - 0:27 THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, I feel this parallel truly underlines their relationship 0:30 - 0:34 I wish we had that scene in the show ç_ç (also, the "you're not alone quote" 😭) 0.37 - 0:40 THIS 0:50 - 0:53 'CAUSE SHE IS HIS SUN 0:54 - 1:01 WHAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN!!! 1:02 - 1:10 OUCH MY HEART 1:19 - 1:32 thinking about the show ending this parallel truly hurt me 1:41 - 1:47 him and her 😭💖 2:23 beautiful, beautiful, beautiful 2:28 NO ANNA PLS STOP I'M IN PAIN 2:30 - 2:34 I wasn't ready for this 😭 One fo the few things I'm happy season 2 gave us are your edits, they're stunning and I'm so happy you decided to share them with us 💖

OOPS

[@RenataOliveira-ip6qh]

So he dies? That’s it? They’re not be a endgame?

[@moonreverie]

He dies in the show like he does in the books (except in the latter he is resurrected in the nikolai duology, but alina and the darkling never become a thing unfortunately), so they aren't endgame💔

[@ullamorozova]

Sadly. Netflix could have fixed it or at least given us more of the complex hate/love tether scenes, but the writers literally told Jessie that they didn’t want any romance for them - even though there’s romance between them in the books
