meet me in the meadow

I can’t believe Shadow and Bone comes out tomorrow (!!) I’ve been internally screaming all week. Anyway here are my (finally) finished portraits of Alina, Inej, Genya and Nina. I can’t wait to see these characters and this world come to life on screen.

Do you think the world cares if you do your best?

Reunion - inspired by a scene in Shadow and Bone of Mal and Alina

-

Who’s excited for the show coming out tomorrow bc I am surely pumped asf XD

Made something super dramatic. I actually haven’t reread the scene that inspired this since like 2015 so whether it’s at all accurate to the book is debatable but oh well

**potential spoilers for Ruin and Rising!!**

Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo cover redesign! Finally, the suite is complete❤️ Thank you to everyone who followed along, but fear not, the boys are coming ✨✨

“And you might make me a monster.”

Evil!Alina when?? Honestly, the way I’ve been hunting for a good corruption arc all my life and been left wanting

Behold, a villainous Alina who lost everything in the pursuit of power, who has nothing left of those she loved save for the trophies upon her hand…

I initially used blue because it was cold and matched her blue summoning class, but the red was such a mood that I had to try it at least.

Loosely inspired by Ruin and Rising! That book is both my most loved and most hated grisha trilogy book, because it has my favorite moments AND my least favorite moments in the whole series. Certainly doesn’t help that some scenes hit ya like a truck

King of Scars <|3

Hello!

Yesterday I decided to take part to the “If Shadow and Bone were a musical…” thing.

So I wrote a song called “The Villain” (you know who this is about)

If you’re curious, go check it! It’s on TikTokandInstagram.
(Feel free to duet it if you like!)

“He would not beg Zoya to stay. It was not in his nature to plead with anyone, and that was not the pact they shared. They did not look to each other for comfort. They kept each other marching. They kept each other strong”

Leigh Bardugo’s King of Scars

Modern Alina Starkov ☀️

From The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo

I know we all want them to stick to the books as much as possible with the show but if I have to see “I am become a blade” in the show I think I might have to jump off a bridge :)

“I’ve seen what you truly are,“ said the Darkling, "and I’ve never turned away. I never will”.

Zoya: Here is my wall of inspirational women.

Genya: Is that a picture of you?

Zoya: I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself.

If villain bad then why Ben Barnes

What book universe do you talk about way too much?? Anyone else currently obsessed with Shadow and Bone?

“I just know there’s no way to live without pain - no matter how long or short your life is. People let you down. You get hurt and do damage in return.”

- Mal Oretsev, Ruin and Rising (The Grisha Trilogy)

hyper-fixated-princess:

I basically started watching Shadow and Bone because Ben Barnes is the love of my life and I like fantasy so it looked like a cool show… And like??? It’s the best fucking thing I’ve seen in a VERY long time???

I was expecting a nice fun show to watch during the week… BITCH, I ate it up in 2 days, I have two new favorite ships, I know the names of the entire cast and if I don’t read the books soon I think I might die. I’m obsessed and I Iove it.

Look what just arrived in the mail!! I can’t wait to start reading (and Six of Crows is on the way too)

It’s 2022 and you’re arguing over ships I am going to SCREAM

(Alina is now up on Redbubble!!)

Shadow & Bone

waitimsupoestoputsomethinghere:

Last night I was thinking about the darkling, like we all do before we go to sleep, and I accidentally called him the duckling. So now when ever I read a scene with him or about him i just think they are talking too or about a black duck.

sorry, not sorry.

Recognize that neck anywhere

So… trailer soon? Source

This fandom goes from a circus of clowns to a coven of victorian maidens, head over heels for the neck of a gentleman, in no time… And I live for this!

That’s us. A bunch of clowns waiting for the show…

she deserves the world <3
