Other times he seems like a cranky old man who just wants to be left alone to feed the birds. Sometimes he acts like an emotionally-constipated, dramatic-ass pasty white boy. I personally cannot figure out whether he actually likes Alina or whether his concern was feigned, I just alternate between the two, I guess. In the books, however, the Darking can be interpreted in so many different ways, which is probably why he is so controversial. When the casting was announced, the first thing I thought of was Ben Barnes as a half-duck, half-person, waddling around lmao. “Darkling” just makes me think of duckling. I actually really liked the fact that the Darkling was given General Kirigan as an alternate name. Ben Barnes portrays him as someone who can actually lead armies and someone you shouldn’t mess with. So let me just start off by saying that Show!Darkling was actually scary, like convincingly scary to some extent. Sending love to all the Darkling stans, you guys don’t have to justify why you like him, fiction is meant to be enjoyed <3. This is probably going to get a lot of downvotes, but just to be clear: This isn’t meant to mock or invalidate any Darkling stans, this is just my personal opinion, meant to be humorous. Okay, so I know there’s been a lot of tense discussion about the Darkling recently, but this is just a light-hearted post about how I personally saw the Darkling while reading the books, please don’t come after me.
