Going into this season I thought we'd not even get crumbs... I was incredibly wrong, lol. You have taken the beautiful ingredients we were handed on a silver platter and have turned it into a feast!!! I love everything about this video, starting with the song choice. Now comes my rambling breakdown: 0:00 - 0:07 HOW DARE YOU! Starting off with that sets the tone so well... It's like being pushed off a cliff, into icy water, and each time I re-watch I need to take a minute because we really are the ones winning after how this season ended. 0:13 - 0:17 First of all, Nikolai smirking makes my heart stop. He's simultaneously smug, hopeful, and tense, and I love him so much. Then, we have Alina who looks so serious and worried, but also like she's about to confess her feelings to her crush, and- these two make me unwell. I can't handle the level of fluff that radiates from their scenes. Jessie and Patrick should be banned from working together because my brain turns to mush whenever they are in close proximity to one another. That you follow this by her being given the Lantsov emerald is evil and brilliant and I love you! 0:21 Is such a beautiful shot; I want it framed. 0:25 Only Nikolai would get punched and then immediately flirt with the girl who hit him. Man is such a disaster and I love how you highlight this lmao. (Also, who are you kidding Alina, we can all see you are into him - even Mal notices going off the sour expression he has whenever Nik shows up.) Nikolai and Alina's relationship is just them flirting while insisting they're only platonic, and I'm here throwing popcorn at the screen like: "sounds fake, kiss already." 0:33 - 0:37 That glimpse of Alina's puppy eyes being followed by examples of her being by his side kills me. They are too sweet. It's illegal. The handholding... My Darcy and Elizabeth loving heart is living for the similarities. They are so tender with one another- 0:49 - 0:54 Patrick knew exactly what he was doing by playing Nikolai's last scene with Alina straight. He gave Nik such zest and charm in all his other scenes, and while its still there, the sombreness of his performance gives the scene such a lovely contrast. You can feel how genuine Nikolai is being in that moment, and the cut to MORE handholding makes me smile like an absolute idiot. Her quoting him kills me, and then the compass bit revives me. 1:07 makes me wish for a Nikolina fight, but that's just because I'm mean and I thrive off chaos lol. 1:11 They're such a pretty couple- 1:21 - 1:28 The parallels of her giving him back the ring, and then the compass. So beautiful, and so sad. Poor Nik looks like he's being made to swallow poison. This man is so in love; him and Aleksander should make a club (Mal's not invited). 1:30 Following that, Nik really took one look Alina using her sun powers and went: "mark me down as scared and horny" and I love him for it. 1:35 NOT HER ASKING HIM TO SURVIVE... I'm okay, I am fine, this moment does not at all make me feel unwell. 1:36 - 1:41 Listen, hugging is right up there with handholding. It's so soft, and tender, and these two really did get ALL the relationship building/ foundation laying time put behind them this season didn't they? 1:42 Dark Nikolina when? Listen, they are cute as they are, but the only thing better than Alina getting a corruption arc is if Nikolai is right there next to her. 1:45 Nik is so pretty here. I love the dishevelled pining look. This comment ended up WAY longer than I intended, so for that I apologize. However, it must be said, this video is gorgeous, this ship is winning, and I am loving every second of it. Taking a page from AO3: All the kudos to you! 🖤
SDHJKFHSJFH I DID NOT EXPECT THIS LONG MASTERPIECE OF A COMMENT OMG ahhhh thank you!! hozier's songs are just ✨the best 0:00 listen A WIN IS A WIN 0:13 NIKOLAI HAS MY WHOLE HEART IDC and tbh if we were banning actors who have amazing chemistry we would have like...20mins of this show help fjshhfs 0:21 i love shots from the back SO MUCH, or side profiles 👌 0:25 I mean, nikolai could have chemistry WITH A TREE and still kill it THEY ARE BOTH SO IN DENIAL IM DYING 0:49 have i ever told you i just lovelovelove hand shots / hugs🤧 1:07 sjdfshggh angst is my thing usually actually lmaooo both in vidding and reading 1:11 😭😭😭 1:21 MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS COMMENT THE CLUB PART I- 1:30 me @ alina, always 1:35 it made me feel ✨things✨ 1:42 well....I did start a darkolina au a few days ago... 1:45 WHY DO ALL SAB CHARACTERS LOOK SO HOT WITH DISHEVELLED HAIR LIKE????

@@moonreverie Aleks and Nikolai having a "simps for Alina Starkov" club is excluded from canon only because the possibilities that stem from them getting along are too powerful. Change my mind lol. It is I - on ao3 that is - I (unimaginatively) use my name literally everywhere! Thanks for replying. Just going to reiterate one last that your editing talent is mind-boggling and I am in love with this video. (The use of one of Hozier's songs just makes it better on each re-watch.) 🖤
AHHHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH 😭😭 it captures them this season so perfectly and all their potential ahgsjdffjasdfsfdgdfgd their chemistry feels so natural AHHHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU FOR THE DEDICATION 🤍🤍 OUR KING AND QUEEN OF RAVKA 😏
God I keep coming back to this edit! Sunlight is really one of their theme songs 😭😭 I still can’t get over how natural and perfect their chemistry is. Welp, at least they’re endgame in the show (technically 🤭🤭)
ahhhh I'm so happy you like it so much!! I honestly didn't think nikolina would be one of the best aspects of s2 so I was so pleasantly surprised🤧 and YES NIKOLINA ENDGAME as it should have happened🤌
WITH HOZIER SONG??? YOUR MIND???? It's amazing. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking I can't. I have to write a happy fanfic about them now to counterpart this. It's so beautifully done, thank you!!!!
I have just rewatched Shadow and bone, and it hit me that every time I listen to “Sunlight” I think of them and this edit😭😭 and I’m not complaining!! This is amazing and I absolutely adore them!
@@moonreverie thank you!! and no, I’m not gonna sue you 🤭 if there is an opposite to suing, like idk making your life better (?) I would be doing it 🤩🤩
Okay, but I never actually thought to ship them, I loved them as friends in the books, but the show actually made me feel like they could work so well? They have a lot of potential, and you really captured it 💖 The song is so well picked, it truly make them shine, especially with your editing skills ✨ 0:02 - 0:06 yasss babes, slay 0:15 - 0:20 💖 0:27 - 0:32 hahahahah they are incredible! 0:49 - 0:50 THESE SCENESSSS ç_ç 0:58 - 1:00 yoru edit ✨ 1:21 - 1:24 OUCH 😭 (your mind) 1:36 - 1:41 I KNOW they have the best hugs you made me ship them even more, I hate (I love) you for this 😭💖
@@Haru-uj7hk nothings wrong with the writers, they just choose what they think fits best, no need to hate on them for that 😬 even if I personally think Alina and Mal are kinda weird as a couple, it also makes sense
Hello there. I have a question, what is the transition at around 00:12 called? Is it already in sony vegas or do you have to get it another way? I've been looking for it for ages and I just can't find it. Great video btw and have a nice day :)

Can’t believe she’ll end up with Mal
The wasted potential here😭
omg are you kidding me 😭 I haven’t read the books fuckkkkkk 😭😭😭😭
Atleast we get Zoyalai for Nikolai, even if Alina's endgame is cry worthy.
Just like Hermione and Ron, same feels. What's wrong with these writers?
@@Haru-uj7hk nothings wrong with the writers, they just choose what they think fits best, no need to hate on them for that 😬 even if I personally think Alina and Mal are kinda weird as a couple, it also makes sense
