Oh my! I have been in a toxic relationship and the chemistry between us is... we are drawn to each other like magnets. Unfortunately I had to end it because he suffers from NPD or BPD caused by childhood trauma, but denies having a problem and refuses to see a therapist in a very verbally abusive manner. His behaviour was destroying my mental and emotional health. Even if we know we are not O.K. for each other everytime we meet the pull between us is there, so yeah... there can be a lot of chemistry between two people who shouldn't be together. Actually Aleksander reminds me of him through his behaviour.
@@fatematabassumelma9997 OMG, I was just watching a video with Draco and Hermione and in the comment section people were kind of sad that they were not an actual thing and some were mentioning the chemistry in toxic relationships... and than Hermione answered a thread on this actual topic. 😵
When he asked her 'Are you sure?'...I DIED😍😍😍 Sometimes good boys don't even care if you are ready or not, while Darkling....like bish, how are we supposed to hate you when you act like this???
Listen if they didn’t want us to want them together, they shouldn’t have 1. cast Ben Barnes and 2. made him ask for consent because that sealed it for me 1 year edit: coming back here to remind all the new people in this thread that it’s okay to love him. He’s fake. All of them are fictional. You’re allowed to love the villain. If you come here and say “well he manipulated this person” or “he murdered that person” I’m just gonna ask you to remember that NONE of this is real. It’s not that deep. Let people love or ship whoever they want and you are more than encouraged to do the same.
Darklina has the POTENTIAL to give us a proper lovers to enemies to lovers/enemies to lovers story. They can be the 🔥BADASS COUPLE🔥 ! I know the darkling is very bad and toxic and manipulative,basically THE VILLAIN and shipping darklina is like morally wrong but you know what- it’s fictional,COMPLETELY FICTIONAL! So I ship them because I feel like they belong to each other and have this bond like no other. I shipped them in the books too and in the show I know they hurried up because there was less time/were less episodes but still loved them and I cannot deny their BEAUTIFUL chemistry 😭.. Also they are interesting and fun to watch. Netflix NEEDS TO CHANGE THE ENDING AND THE ENDGAME like they already changed SO MUCH OF THE THINGS so like please 🥺🌘☀️🖤
OMG, someone who shares my ship 😍😍😍😍 let's let this ship sail! They are like, really, really perfect! Even in the book, I had shipped her with Aleksander, now with series it made me ship them more. How I wish they do end up together, like...UGH! Can they just end up together, please???? the way he looks at her, you can tell how he feels about her.
Alina and the Darkling belong together. Light and dark. Like Yin and Yang. Two pieces of each other. And I believe that them being together can actually bring peace and harmony.
If we’re being honest she’s LITERALLY the light to his darkness like soulmates🙄 anyways Aleksander isn’t the bad guy. He created the fold so that everyone would fear or treat grisha as equals and stop slaughtering them. So if we’re being honest he is the good guy, he just did it a different way
I thought that too, I don't see him as villain, because he cares so much for his people and want them to be respected and safe. but also he can be greedy for power and have wrong way to do things.
i never shipped it in the books but as the actors played them both so much and the chemistry between them is so noticeable idk anymore i might actually ship it now
Nadine1983 it’s so disappointing. This ending is so childish😂 In real life, they would be lovers with a very toxic relationship. But she would never marry Mal
Sorry but anyone who read the books can't ship malina. Mal has never understand her and her powers, he wasn't her equal in anyway. Darklina would be the perfect endgame.
It's funny how Alina blames her friends' death on the Darkling. SHE burned those maps so SHE would not be separated from Mal. It was HER actions that led to her friends dying. The show should have focused on her feeling at least guilty over the incident, showing that she can be selfish too.
I just wanted to tell you that Jesus is someone who loves you so much. Jesus is Someone who knew you before you were even in your mom’s womb. He died for you, faced ultimate punishment all for you. All so you can be forgiven for your sin and be freed from hell, a terrible place that only tortures.We weren’t meant to go to hell first, it was meant for the devil and demons, but us humans with our sin fell inside when we died. We all deserve go to there, but you can be saved from there and you are be able to go to heaven, isn’t that beautiful ❤️. You are wonderfully and fearfully made and so loved. I just wanted you to know this because He has saved me and i know you can be saved too❤️ please at least consider coming to Him, it’s so worth it. I could be right, and you could miss out on the most amazing and loving Person ever. I love Jesus because of who He is and how loving He is towards us humans who will never deserve this type of unconditional love. If you have religious trauma, please know that people poorly represent God, God is Someone who will never give up on you, and would send His own Son to die just for you so you can exp erience an enternity with Him and love Him. People may mess up, but God will never. Read the Bible and know God for your own self
@@xoliyah6553 not just that it looks as if alina is very fickle as well........the way she has a change of heart as far as mal was concerned just because he couldn't come for her when she was in the palace and she started flirting with the heretic almost too soon for somebody who had feelings for her old friend.
tbh ben was everyone crush if they just saw him for the first time. im first time saw him on narnia and dude, im still 6 grade that time and im crush so bad on him. who could not crush to him?
I only except Alexsander and Alina. That is all. Their chemistry is literally jumping out at you in their scenes. Beautifully done, songs, editing, scenes and coloring! 😍 He’s clearly in love with her. She’s in love with him too. Netflix do you hear us? #darklina stop.the.madness
Let’s fight for the real victory-chemistry off hook bc pretty sure Ben Barnes might have fallen in love with Jessie mei LI (and I don’t like that phrase, but can’t escape it). Ben and Jessie irl, who cares about darklina!
I just want her to say "I love you Mal.... like a brother" and just end that whole ship because it's hurting me how bland their chemistry is, and how the story is trying so hard to make it work.
She is gold digger why everyone be like ohh I love them both are so toxic Alina just happy with every man and forget about all just one thing whole series cast
Just saw an interview that Jessica aka alina was fan of Ben when he was Prince caspian hahahaha. Damn, hahaha. Her younger self would have explode hahaha
The air was ashy, breathing was becoming inexorably difficult. My lungs were filling with dirt and the noises all around me sounded muffed from the explosions. My sight was becoming blurred and everything looked incredibly slow as if I were looking through a window at someone else’s life. I looked around me: the Crows were holding themselves together, Inej standing in front of Kaz, her eyes wide with surprise and fear. Kaz was on his back, I couldn’t tell if he was injured from here. Jesper was kneeling next to him trying to say something in his ear but he didn’t seem to be paying attention. All his focus seemed to be on the scene before him: Aleksander was in a cloud of night trying to fight off the king’s army on one side and rogue soldiers from Fjerda on the other. He was on his knees, a streak of pain colouring his face, blood rippling from his torso, ruining his uniform and painting the dirt on the ground. My hearing was starting to come back slowly, I turned to my right were few meters away was his majesty’s army. The General was shouting at me, it took a few seconds to register what he was saying - kill him! - his voice scary as he growled at me like a mad dog. I looked into his eyes and I saw it: just pure hate, for who I was, for my abilities. Hate for something I didn’t choose, hate because I was different from them, more powerful. I never given them any reason to be afraid of me, till a few months ago I didn’t even know what I was. But none of it seemed to matter, they still hated me just like they hated Aleksander and I hadn’t even striked back at them. In my mind came back the memories of Aleksander’s past, not the story they taught in their books about the Black Heretic but what had really happened. - I didn’t know what to do… I was just a boy back then trying to learn to control my power - his gaze was fixed on a distant point in the room but I knew he was actually lost in thought - Me and my mother spent months at a time running and hiding, until one day the guards captured us. I was threatened that they would kill my mother if I didn’t do what the king asked, he wanted me to fight for him. He wanted me to round up others like me and win a war for him and we did. You know how history says that I became greedy and insatiable with power? Do you know what had actually happened? The same night we won all my people were sleeping in the barracks and he sent soldiers for a coup: they killed everyone inside. I wasn’t there, I went to break my mother free of the dungeons but I heard it: high pitched screams like the crackling of fire. By the time we had come out the barracks were burning to ash. I spent the next twenty years running away and hiding my people - I looked at him, he seemed suddenly so young and so old at the same time. The weight of his words and the memories were showing on his face giving away a truer idea of his real age. But his eyes when he looked at me… he seemed what I would have imagined a frightened ten-year-old Aleksander to look like. A confused child whose life had been stolen from him, a child who was victim of circumstances he didn’t choose. I remembered when he brought me to the fountain saying how he had always made a wish that he could be anyone else, he hadn’t lied about that. Mal shook me out of my thoughts, I turned to him. He was covered in dirt and was pointing his finger towards were I knew Aleksander was struggling. I turned my gaze and saw him fighting to not fall on the ground. One hand was keeping his weight from collapsing, the other was erecting a wall of shadow trying to keep off spears and bullets. As if he felt my eyes on him he turned his head and looked at me and I saw it all over again: a scared boy, confused as to why he had been hunted down his entire life just for being different. I looked over the army again and I rose to my feet. Mal tried to grab my arm but I shook him off - Alina, what are you - I didn’t give him time to finish - I am going to help him - Mal’s gaze looked as confused as if I were speaking some ancient language he could not understand. - What do you think will happen once I help them kill him? What do you think they will do to me? - I pointed a finger at the army with rage. - I am the same thing as he is to them: a threat, an annoyance, a bug on their shoulder jeopardizing their power. The only reason I am still breathing right now is because they think they need me to kill Aleksander. As soon as he drops to the ground they will turn against me as quickly as they once considered me an ally. I will need to spend the rest of my existence running and hiding, fighting for my life. Fighting to not be killed or captured and sold off. And Mal, eternity is a very long time to be afraid - I didn’t wait for his reply, I didn’t even look back at him. I didn’t want to look or I might have changed my mind. I started running towards Aleksander. (Would anyone read it if I wrote an AU ending for Shadow and Bone?)
After reading the books, I think that Alina felt something very strong for the darkling, but she never allowed herself to feel it... I think it could have been love, AN EPIC AND ENORMOUS LOVE, but Baghra tells her that the darkling is the black heretic and that he is going to make her his slave and Alina simply believes her, she doesn't talk to him, she doesn't question what she says... and on the other hand there is Mal, who DOESN'T GET AWAY FROM ALINA AT ANY TIME AND MANIPULATES HER ABOUT WHAT HE LOVES HER AND THAT SHE IS LEAVING HIM BEHIND, when in fact HE NEVER SEEN HER AS A WOMAN AND HE SLEEP WITH EVERYONE, including Zoya... if the darkling had the opportunity to be with Alina, they would have ended up together, he would have redeemed himself. Because it He couldn't control what he felt for her, he even hated to feel that way, because it distracts him, makes him want something more than carrying out his plans. For The Darkling Alina is unique and always will be, and so, it's just ridiculous that she stayed with Mal, and that in addition to being with him she had to lose her powers... I really HATED the ending.
Mal is toxic in a way that a lot of people can relate too irl (me included) unlike the darkling who is just a fictional character so his toxicity doesn't bother me at all.
This two have to much chemistry... I mean nobody is entirely good or bad and as I see it for the darkling is just Alina because it's meant to be... She'd be the light when he can't handle his shadow... It just makes sense
Despite of his bad intentions for the kingdom he loves her in a way and you can see that when she rejects him!!! He rejects the other lady advances as well!!!
Since Alina was the only one equal to the darkling. He had a connection with her. He obviously loved her power cause it made him unstoppable. But he did have feelings for her ..... The darkling wanted Alina to help with his plan and become evil ....... But Alina declined and then they both turned bitter enemies 😭😭😭
I’m just gonna pretend they ended up together!! I mean their chemistry is fire!! I don’t even care if he’s evil. They would be a powerful couple and I live for it!! P.S. Ben Barnes is my crush since Narnia so that’s all I need to say.
No this is an endgame couple we all know it. It shows from the start ,we darklina shippers don't need to fear you can also see the tension ,sparks and chemistry between them. HOPE NETFLIX MAKES THEM ENDGAME PLEASE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I shipped them so much because they are almost like one another. But the fact that he was only using her for power is just so frustrating😫. I still ship them though✋🏻
To be honest, I shipped these two from the first scene they appeared together(the tent scene). I was getting literal butterflies whenever they were together. Then when they kissed, I melted. I love their chemistry so much. But unfortunately he is not the right man for her because of how he worships power above all else. While Mal would give anything even his own life for Alina. That's why while rewatching this show, I shipped Mal and Alina(Malina). Because Mal is her soulmate. Sure he might be a mortal and her childhood friend but one thing is for sure, he would never break her trust ( in the show).

10:49-10:55 fine. Make me your villain. I love how is he saying this.. Anyway, am I the only one, who thinks Alina and Darkling would get back together forever? I think he is more handsome than that Mal kid.
Alina and the dark one, that was a couple. They had everything, chemistry, the tension that there was every time they saw each other. Mal was like the little brother, but this pair were fire.
I‘m in love with them!!! There’s so much chemistry between them and I literally get butterflies when I see them together but they’re also toxic af like hoooowwww They deserved so much better 🥲
I've read the books and oml I ship Alina and the darkling so bad especially when he asks her to say his name once more there chemistry in that scene in the book had so much tension, I think Mal should've had more character development, I understand why she gets with Mal. You know because the way the author wrote the book was as though the darkling was beyond saving when I think he could've had redemption for sure you can see him change a bit more in the book. He had more character development than any other character I feel like. In the books Mal is so judgmental and a bit inconsiderate of Alinas feelings but I do believe Mal and Alina are soul mates I just wish there could've been more character development, Mal and Alina had chemistry but it was more of the innocent type while the darkling and Alina had more SEXUAL chemistry you know?
I finished this wonderful series last night, and I would like the second season already. I understood that Alexander is the "enemy" of history, but there is also a reason in all this, they made him bad, my hope is that alina will become the light for him, since he is the darkness. I honestly can't see her in a romance with her best friend. indeed, i really hope that the love story between her and alexader continues, i hope that the love he feels for her is true. I don’t know on the books how continues the story between them.. I never read it
Mal and Alina are probably meant to be together but if darkling wants or feels love, he would have fighted fate for alina. Ever since I read the book, I hated that Darkling wasn't going to end up with Alina, I am okay if Alina turns a villain only if she ends up with darkling.
THIS IS SO ME, I'LL TAKE ANYTHING AS LONG AS THEY'RE ENDGAME PLS 😭😭😭, but given that Netflix can change the movie ending different from the book ending is something we can do, just like how they change other movie endings because the fans like that ending more
@@asaltybitch3168 why does none of the stories give lead characters to the villain? Darling makes the perfect lead although he's the antagonist. It would have been perfect to see him rule along with alina. Alina choosing mal is like choosing the light instead of darkness, instead they could have showed that alina trying darkling by loving him or showing him the right path. But instead she has to run away with mal🥺
@@debaratibasu28 i'm sorry but i don't want another childhood bestfriends lovers type anymore 😭, i want something new, Darkling and Alina's chemistry is POWERFUL, credits to the actors for that, they did a great job on portraying their characters, but i do agree with u, all i want is their endgame 😭
They’re perfect for each other, the ying and yang, and being honest he is not the villain, he only want the grisha can live in peace, he was betrayed, and I’m sure he loves her more than Mal, nobody is perfect people!!!. Perfect relationship only exist in the books, everybody can do wrong. That doesn’t mean we don’t deserve love or redemption. Is ok to love the villain
The unfortunate thing about this Darkling character in the series is that he is vulnerable, soft, less vile that the books and is played by *Ben Barnes* The writers really went right for our hearts with a sharp knife with this one
My two cents on Darklina: they are one and the same person. Alina is purity, innocence, everything that is good in someone, whilst the darkling is revenge and pain and all other negative traits. It’s like a reversed mirror when they look at each other and slowly embrace the opposites traits of the other self. Which would explain the romance. As the storyline progresses there is a battle between light and darkness. The darker side is more prevalent, hence why Alina’s corrupted with the dark power and also has the dark cut. Moral of the story you have to embrace both the good and evil side of yourself to create a balance.
She is the light to his darkness... Personally, they are my young adult fantasy genre version of Fifty Shades of Grey (minus the BDSM part of course lol). The Darkling and Alina both remind me so much of Christian and Anastasia... both character couples have similarities in their storyline arc of journey. To those who are fans of both stories of these characters would hopefully understand me somehow. I just hope the Darkling gets his character redemption arc just like what Christian had and hopefully he'll get his sweet dramatic and romantic ending with Alina. #LotsOfHopefulThere #DarklinaShouldBeEndgame #StarcrossedLovers 🌚🖤🌞=🌘❤
i love how we know he's the villain, every thing he said to her makes sense after knowing his truth, she's probably going to hate him for a very long time, she's got mal now BUT WE STILL KEEP SHIPPING darlina knowing we'll get hurt. honestly I don't want either of kirigan or mal to get hurt or alina to be hurt picking between them ya know A STORY IS A STORY
I’m sorry but is it JUST me that don’t get how he is the bad bad guy. I mean sure he created the fold, but he didn’t directly mean to do it. They (Grisha) is threatened, and the people he kills want to kill her, him and other like them. Since when wasn’t it ok to protect one self? I mean he holds promises, see her as a goddess, is like a key to her being more powerful etc 💁🏼♀️
I have come to the conclusion that I will forgive their lack of future in the series and films if they date and marry in real life :D That chemistry needs to get realised in some dimension, be it fiction or real life.
Mal and Alina have a potential of having an endgame which is where they are taking us now but if you look at it, how long exactly will it last remember the conversation between Mal and Darkling, he said both him and Alina are Immortal so he holds on Patience, Mal may have her now but it doesn't mean he's forever it's only season 1 Besides the chemistry between Alina and Darkling is thick, am refraining from using strong, her being his light alot can Emerge from there, she doesn't know why he's doing this, they wanted to make him slave and killed his first love, the healer, that angered him and ever since his been clouded by loneliness and anger, the strong urge to be expected the way he is along with every Grisha, look at how he protects his people and bring them back together, Yes his crazy/ toxic for power but he thinks it's the only way. Somehow Alina being more powerful than him he thinks when all is over he will be the slave again and be treated differently only because his the darkness ( let's be real and see his point of view people will always choose light over darkness) Alina has potential to Change his point of view, make him see reason All in all the world must understand not always your guy best friend must end up I love with you come ON, sometimes all it is Friendship will all the support and love Chemistry, fire, understanding, overwhelming love, acceptance, love frees us from hate, greed, guilt . Darkling must be given second chance besides him being HOT STIFF in His OWN WAY😊😊😊
Guys I'm scared I came here again after watching every possible video related to S&B and I feel like they're going to give us MALINA. Like I know Darkling is not that ideal but its high time to explore a challenging relationship and explore that dynamic, instead of taking the same out route of Good VS Bad people.
