I have lied and I have betrayed and I have triumphed. If only there was someone to congratulate me.

Jude and Cardan - The Cruel Prince

I love the vibe of this Alternate Jude card from the Enemies & Lovers game.

I firmly believe that Jurdan parenting is basically the bad cop/good cop dynamic when your baby does something wrong. You agree with me so much that I don't even need to tell you who would be the bad, nor who would be the good.

Random person: Where is your husband?

Taryn: Oh, he went to live with his mother since he missed her dearly.

Random person: Isn't his mother dead?

Taryn: He's a loving son.

Random person: ...

Sorry, but you can't tell me that Cardan "I support women's rights and wrongs" Greenbriar wouldn't be friends with Nesta Archeron.

Cardan, who bullied and harassed his crush because he didn't know how to handle his feelings, who never received an ounce of genuine affection from his family and was severely neglected since he was a baby, going as far to endure brutal punishments from his brother for not "fulfilling the expectations". Cardan, who grew up to believe he was incapable and unworthy of love, drowning himself in alcohol and sex because it allowed to shut his mind off and forget himself.

The same Cardan who wields words like beautifully sharpened weapons, using sarcasm like it's a second skin, who fell in love with the girl who kidnapped, humiliated, manipulated, betrayed and used him for her best interests, only to admire her even more for it instead of feeling intimidated by her. The Cardan who, at first, could only express his love by being crude and mean because he was never taught any other way.

Cardan would take a look at Nesta and find his own twisted reflection on her. And he'll also enjoy her personality, joining her into throwing shade at the IC and supporting her.

Add Jude Duarte to the mix and trust me, they would've made an unstoppable and terrifying trio. Jude is all for power and ambition but she's also compassionate and selfless. You best believe she'll encourage Nesta to make use of her powers and not let anyone step on her.

Basically it would be like this:

Nesta: *explaining her life and what goes on with the Inner Circle*

Jude: Kill them all.

Nesta: No way, I can't do that.

Jude: Fine, I'll kill them.

And also:

Nesta: *glaring at/insulting someone*

Cardan: So, why do we hate this person? I just need the context to mock them properly.

❄️❄️Sad Suren quotes❄️❄️

"Please let me stay. I'll be good. I am sorry, sorry, sorry for whatever I did, but you can't let them take me. Mommy. Mommy. Mommy. I love you, please, Mommy." - The Stolen Heir, page 7

"I make a fist of the hand that is not touching Oak, sinking my ragged nails into the pad of my thumb to keep my expression neutral. The pain works, clearing my head. Do not scream, I tell myself. Do not bite anyone. Do not cry." - The Stolen Heir, page 110

"I do not want you here. Those are the words I ought to have said, but couldn't, because they would be a lie." - The Stolen Heir, page 154

"Everything died in the Ice Citadel, but hope died first." - The Stolen Heir, page 212

"I know every corner that a child could hide in, every place she could be dragged from." - The Stolen Heir, page 245

"I think of the Thistlewitch's words. Nix Naught Nothing. That's what you are. That's what I would be. I would be consigning everything I've been, all that I've learned and done to meaninglessness. I would be accepting that I don't matter." - The Stolen Heir, page 309

"As I move, I have a strange dissonance of memory. I am walking through these halls as a child. I am walking through my unparents' house at night, moving like a ghost. That's what I've been for years. An unsister. An undaughter. An unperson. A girl with a hole for a life. How appropriate to have my tongue cut out, when silence has been my refuge and my cage." - The Stolen Heir, page 322

'"You should have been like us," says Lady Nore, her posture rigid. The words come easily, as though she has been thinking on them for a long time. "and instead, you are like them. To look at you is to see something so flawed it ought to be put out of its misery. Better to be dead, child, than to live as you do. Better to drown you like some runt of a litter." I taste tears in the back of my throat. Not because I want her to love me, but because her words echo the worst thoughts of my heart.' - The Stolen Heir, page 329

"When I was here as a child, I was afraid all the time. I will not give in to that fear now." - The Stolen Heir, page 332

Jude and Cardan - The Cruel Prince

Madoc and Cardan being forced to bond for Jude’s sake-

What if Madoc wasn’t banished and to try to win Jude over Cardan tried to spend time with Madoc

At first they try to bond with their interest

They try reading club since they both have an interest in reading

It turns to a fierce debate where blows are dealt

Then they try other interest

Madoc hated parties Cardan’s not interested in war

They eventually try a mortal hobby of fishing

It is awkward as hell
