You must know yourself outside of work outside of friends and outside of your romantic relationship you must be able to sit with yourself

MI and CSK not playing a finals in an IPL match is enough confirmation for me to realise that we live in multiple parallel universes and the timeline has definitely shifted.

After reading The Stolen Heir and The Prisoner’s Throne, I am amazed at how others perceive Cardan and Jude’s relationship.

After being in Jude’s perspective for three books, as the reader it is so obvious how Jude displays her personality and how much she genuinely cares for Cardan. So, watching those same behaviors through the eyes of others was kinda funny. Just, the amount of times Oak was surprised when Jude did not attempt to murder Cardan, or the softness she displayed with was really funny. I as the reader know their relationship is in a place where they can make jokes, even bad ones, and not usually face negative repercussions for it, but others they LIVE with don’t know that because they don’t usually get to see that side of their relationship.

It is just so weird to think there is a whole perception of these two in universe that I cannot fathom. These two royal fools???? Not in love with each other??????? I am sorry, I do not compute. And yet, the rest of the world thinks it’s forced. They couldn’t be in Jude’s head to know that when she cut off Snake Cardan’s head, she was doing it from a place of unadulterated love. They can’t see how Cardan, in his own odd and not super effective way, would protect Jude from the things she was vulnerable to as a mortal. Everybody else sees a couple that cannot stand each other.

Personally, I think the juxtaposition between what we see as the audience and what the in universe world sees is so cool and Holly Black is so good for not making it a “everyone saw how in love they were and were chill for the rest of time”. They reserve that softness for each other only, and that is so sweet.

As I’m nearing another life changing event, I’m once again knee deep in my biggest desires and fears.

I haven’t craved being in love or having a person for about a year now but as I’m about to change my life all over again - I want to be in love, I want to be heartbroken, I want to hold hands and I want to miss someone so much my heart hurts and when I see them my whole body hurts into tiny specks of sparkles.

As I’m about to leave a home I built brick by brick in a different country all I’m craving is the same community and wondering what if this was my last chance. What if this was it? What if I’m never able to build a home again?

Love & home - two things I refuse to admit I care about are the biggest desires of mine and maybe just maybe one day I will be able to tell people that I’m not this nonchalant human and all I crave in reality is just some chaos wrapped in a bouquet of roses.

I’m gonna miss this silly place so much. It really hurts to be leaving even though it’s my decision.

SAME! I binge read the trilogy in 3 days on definitely company time. Reading it on buses home and trains to work. Reading it between different band sets and theatre shows and sound checks. Definitely worth it!

I love how I binge read the cruel prince trilogy in about a week and a half, waited about three days, then decided to write jude/cardan smut on my work computer on company time like this is the first joy I’ve had since 2012

Valerian. I hate him. Oh, god. He's so annoying.

[dibuworld]

Definitely but it’s so like Cardan to be actually interested in weird candy

I’m 110% sure Cardan did infact just wanted to hear about weird candy…

biggest tfota reread takeaways

madoc really despises cardan and likely knows his feelings for jude

nicasia is just plain awful for what she did to cardan but especially for her role in judes undersea kidnapping

cardan likes handholding (especially with entwining fingers)

foreshadowing of tsh oak is here, but he and jude do have the tight closeness of siblings 

jude and cardan both have experiences of powerlessness and love irony that make them understand each other well (soulmate energy)

suren did declare loyalty to the high king and queen so i wonder what will become of this in tpt (note: it wasn’t really discussed?)

when talking about jude cardan uses a lot of lasting words ( ex: “forever undone” and “yours it shall ever remain”)

jude now recognizes which of cardan’s smiles come from nerves <3

jude has nightmares of the undersea

balekin represents a possible future for cardan just as madoc represents a possible future for jude, they try to actively avoid this.

both of their “endings” represent their growth, jude is willing to give up power for love/family and cardan allows his subjects to choose him in love rather than duty.

both judecardan love confessions are tailored both to the fears of the one confessing and the one being confessed to. 

the cardan novella starts with him hoping as a child that someone cared enough to find him and ends with him KNOWING jude will find him.
