This song makes me think of Alina...
This song makes me think of Alina and the Darkling.
Медляк (Melod y)
В этот серый скучный вечер (On this gray, dreary evening)
Я тебя случайно встретил (I came across you by chance)
Я позвал тебя с собою (I invited you with me)
И назвал своей судьбою (And called our destiny)
У тебя глаза как море (You have eyes like the sea)
Словно ночь твои ресницы (Like the night, your lashes)
Твои руки словно крылья (Your hands are like wings)
Крылья одинокой птицы (The wings of a lonely bird)
Сегодня в белом танце кружимся (Today, ladies choose, we’ll dance together)
Наверно мы с тобой подружимся (We’re certain to meet each other)
И ночью мы вдвоем останемся (And tonight we’ll be together)
А утром навсегда расстанемся (Then in the morning, part forever)
Среди серых стен молчанья (Sitting silent, surrounded by walls)
Я тебя нашла случайно (I found you by chance)
Позвала тебя с собою (Invited you with me)
Назвала своей судьбою (Called our destiny)
У тебя глаза как небо (You have eyes like the sky)
Словно ночь твои ресницы (Like the night, your lashes)
Твои руки словно крылья (Your hands are like wings)
Крылья одинокой птицы (The wings of a lonely bird)
Сегодня в белом танце кружимся (Today, ladies choose, we’ll dance together)
Наверно мы с тобой подружимся (We’re certain to meet each other)
И ночью мы вдвоем останемся (And tonight we’ll be together)
А утром навсегда расстанемся (Then in the morning, part forever)

How many abs will be revealed in Siege and Storm? I'm not asking whose, 'cause that will be asking for spoilers, but how many (the quantity) will be revealed/uncovered? It is perfectly okay with me if it's more than one. ; )
Do you mean how many abs from a single set of abs will be revealed? Or how many sets of abs total? #seriousdiscourse

If Westeros had a picture book to teach preschoolers...
If Westeros had a picture book to teach preschoolers the house sigils and words, Eric Carle would write and illustrate it. Inspired by Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
LOL. “War trout” is being added to the list of insults. Many thanks to Morgan Fahey for the link.
I was also wondering if you watch or have seen American Horror Story? If you do, what do you think about Tate?
I confess! I’ve never seen it. Should I watch? I’m thinking this Tate sounds intriguing.
Whats some of your favorite music/bands? Do you have any Shadow and Bone playlists? And lastly, did Captain Automatic ever write/record any Shadow and Bone inspired songs? Sorry to bug you, just in a Shadow and Bone-ish mood. :)
I like that mood!
I’m very fickle about music. Right now, Belle Brigade, Generationals, Florence + the Machine, and Bass Nectar are all on heavy rotation.
I did two posts with Shadow and Bone playlists. This one has lyrics and I talk a bit about what each song meant to me.
This one has a few additional songs for the Darkling, Alina, and Mal.
I’ve had readers introduce me to songs that they felt fit the characters (Gravity, Mountain Sound, Wide Awake, Already Over), and I loooove seeing the character fan mixes. I’ve downloaded tons of the music readers have suggested and they’re all on my Grisha walk-around-and-think-about-the-story playlists.
I do have a new song that my friend Aaron and I have been working on. I feel a little shy about putting it out there, but I think I’ll get around to it one of these days :)
I absolutely LOVE what you wrote about your definition of bad boy. I completely agree!!!! They are so much more interesting when they are power thirsty, have agendas, and bad (not in the moody kind of way of course). I know that you are a fan of GoT and I
Jaime. Oh Jaime. Do you know what GRRM did with Jaime was what convinced me he was a dang genius? Jaime is an (attempted) child killer, but I ended up rooting for him just the same. I love his character and his arc. Jaime/Brienne is one of my favorite ships (along with Gendry/Arya—yeah, yeah, age difference, blahblah), though I also just love the friendship they develop.

I don't have a question, I just wanted to say I saw your most recent answer that mentioned Darkness from Legend and flipped my shit!! One of my all time favorite movies/villains!!
Okay? It’s a VERY flawed film. I know this. It doesn’t know if it’s a kid’s film or an epic saga or a romance or what the heck. Also, Tom Cruise crouching in a tunic? Hilarious.
But… it’s also gorgeous. (Has anyone ever rocked fairytale woods as well?) And remember “the dance” when Lily transforms? Sighhhhh.
How I feel when I get a shout from someone with a username like thenorthremembers or aryatheawesome
Actually, it’s more like this…
but it’s REALLY hard to find happy GoT gifs.
