maybe you could be monsters together.

this modern au is for all the darkolinas out there.

tbqh, this may be one of the most self-indulgent vids i've ever done and i'm not entirely sure the plot other than it ran away from me with its own vibes. and OF COURSE i threw in ulla morozova because why not. truly i am here for darkolina and the morozova family all day every day.

every time i remember s2 ended with dark!alina and dark!nikolai.... chefs kiss. it nearly makes up for the fact nikolai and aleksander share only one canon scene together where one is on the pyre. almost.

also apparently? i have never posted a full darkolina vid to this channel? im so sorry tbh know i scream about it on twitter an embarrassing amount. truly, if there is a s3, this is what i'd be looking forward to the most.

dedicated to my fellow darkolina truthers, @dominoesrising and ofc @Bellsilili, who is my fellow unhinged darkolina half. it's been wild.

ps. this song use was heavily inspired by this gorgeous cara mason video (lots my beloved): youtu.be/ZBwlEHe_s9I and the witcher voiceover was inspired by this gorgeous work youtu.be/fs4x46Ip7DI !

pss. i was further inspired by the chaos that is ben, paddy and jessie and their reaction of the finale together & subsequent costume fitting bts. "you're the darkling now, i pass the torch" everything tbh
