Calling a canon bisexual woman a lesbian becuase she has a female love interest or is in a wlw relationship is bisexual erasure and biphobic!!!!

Same thing goes for bisexual men and mlm relationships!!!!!

REBLOG THIS VERSION TOO YOU COWARDS

Same thing for bisexual people in m/f relationships that people call straight.

Now reblog this cowards

the ending of ruin & rising is staggeringly staggeringly good. it is the only conclusion that could ever happen from the story leigh was trying to tell. and if you don’t see that, if you still believe there was an ending which didn’t result in alina losing her powers, then we read entirely different books.

the whole central theme of the trilogy is that of power corruption, and how even if it is sought after with good intention, “absolute power corrupts absolutely”. no grisha is meant to have more than one amplifier. it is a level of power a human cannot withstand. by seeking out a third amplifier, alina has so so much power that it’s completely unbearable. she describes herself like an exploding sun. it has bent the laws and rules of the world, and so to balance itself out again, that power leaves alina and redistributes itself amongst hundreds of others. this is also why alina was always going to end up with mal, there was never any debate there, because he is the only person who actually challenges her on whether she should be seeking out this level of power and twisting the laws of reality in quite the way she does

alina keeping hold of that much power would not be a badass ‘girlboss’ moment. the whole point leigh is making is that all actions have consequences, and a price has to be paid for that level of power. it isn’t misogynistic for alina to lose her powers. it’s realistic. it is the only possible conclusion to the story leigh has been telling all along, and the only way you can’t see that is if you have been playing a self-insert game with alina instead of actually grasping the story leigh is telling. alina’s story is a line between wanting that power, and wanting the peaceful life of love and calm. but the more she seeks the amplifiers, the more it eats away at her mind, the more she has to anchor herself time and time again to remember who she truly is, and the culmination of all of this is she loses her powers. having our heroes pay real prices for actions they make, and facing consequences, is not being misogynistic and it’s not being ‘against power’. it’s about reality, it’s about balance. the introduction of merzost by leigh should be an obvious sign of this point she is making, that power corrupts! power is not necessarily bad, but becoming entirely power hungry does corrupt you, and there are very real consequences for it.

and at the end of the story… alina is happy. she ends the trilogy happy. it is bittersweet. but she has the life she actually wanted all along. and it’s also important to bear in mind that mal’s ending is just as bittersweet. he too has the life he wanted all along, with alina. but, like alina, he has lost his powers too - and arguably for mal, this is even worse, because he has had these tracking abilities for his whole life. both of them paid the price for in alina’s case taking more power than one person can physically have, and in mal’s case enabling that power to be taken. once again, that theme of ‘everything has a cost’ comes back - just as power can be sought, but it has a cost, so alina and mal have the life they wanted and chose. but that too came at a cost.

if your complaint of the ending of ruin & rising is that you think it’s sad alina lost her powers (which, same! we all do! it doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense for her to lose them) and that she should have kept her powers and ended up alone, then we read entirely different books and you self-inserted too much. the framing of the grisha trilogy is crystal clear. it is a story of power and power corruption, framed by the unbreakable love between alina and mal. that is the story leigh bardugo told. if you didn’t see it that way, that’s on you.

Okay! I don’t care how much hate I get for this

dr*mione shippers are so wild.... i remember once i read this anti ron/dramione essay where they basically said, "anything good ron has done doesn't really count because that's how the author wrote him. she chose to make him offer himself to be tortured in hermione's place. he was written that way therefore you cannot compare him to draco"

like ??? that's how books are written ??? the author writes the characters in a certain way because of themes, established characterizations and their narrative purpose? also, you hypocrites can't have your cake and eat it too. if you believe that ron's good actions don't matter then why you gotta hold his jealousy and bad behaviour against him too? guess what: jkr made him do that too because she's the one who controls these characters. y'all can continue saying dumb shit but at least be consistent about it! like.... are dr*mione shippers under the impression that these characters have powers of their own BUT "poor baby draco was clearly being forced by the evil author to be mean to hermione when he should've OBVIOUSLY been having intellectual discussions with her, and draco was totally breaking from the inside when hermione was being tortured because of non-existent subtext, but let's find a way to downplay ron's love for hermione by saying that ron screaming for her in the cellar doesn't mean anything since he had a lot of experience screaming at her" ??? (yes, that's a legitimate argument. or was it a harmione shipper who said that? sorry, can't keep track.)

i could somewhat understand when my friend rejected canon because she hadn't read the books or seen the films but only read dramione fanfiction, so of course she wouldn't want to read the books since it would ruin an existing piece of fiction which has brought her happiness and given her the romance she wants to read. but you guys???? you claim to have read the books and have literature degrees and still come up with crap like this???

and speaking of "don't compare draco to ron" Y'ALL ARE THE ONES DOING THAT. you people are the ones writing crap about how your crackship is more valid because "RON MADE HERMIONE CRY" or "RON WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HER FRIEND." readers finishing the books for the first time disliked draco for being a bully who is horrible to other students and teachers. nobody disliked him for not being good enough for hermione because a) obviously and b) he didn't have to because that's not his story. the "ron rules and draco drools" essays (sadly) have no choice but to be written to ADDRESS your arguments, and call out the dramione crowd who have the nerve to write posts defending their mediocre fave (draco) at the expense of the superior in every way character (ron) for a boring ship that should've died the moment draco wished for hermione's death (dr*mione)

anyways i don't talk about it a lot anymore because i'm not as traumatized by dr*mione as my 14-year-old self was. however, dramione is and always will be trash and the rabid shippers and their brain cell burning arguments are 999999% responsible for this
