What I mean when I say I like a villain:
I like their story
I like their motivations
I like their skills/powers
I like their intelligence
I like their quotes
I find them interesting
I like their relationship with other character(s)
What I definitely don’t mean when I say I like a villain:
“They’re just misunderstood”
I’m defending every single one of their actions and I think they’re 100% innocent
I’m a dumbass who doesn’t know that they’re a villain

The lifespan of a corgi
So I love corgis! And I think many other people also love corgis, so here’s a small life span of your average corgi!!!
Ofcourse, every little corgi puppy starts off small. They cant walk or see, but they’re born with a fully functional sense of smell! All healthy puppies grow quickly after birth. A puppy’s coat color may change as the puppy grows older.
Puppies develop very quickly during their first three months, particularly after their eyes and ears open and they are no longer completely dependent on their mother!! Their coordination and strength improve, they spar with their littermates, and begin to explore the world outside the nest!!
They grow up fast, and soon enough, you’ll have a big, grown corgi. However, contrary to popular belief, they aren’t done growing just yet.
Every corgi has the ability to keep growing, as long as you raise them right. My personal recommendation is to feed them past midnight.
After a while, they most likely won’t fit in your home anymore. You’ll have to buy some land to house your corgi, as they can be a little clumsy in this size. They’ll still be equally as loveable, and make for great transportation!
Their final stage, they’ll be about the size of your average skyscraper. Make sure to keep them out of the city! They aren’t malicious, but they’re very playful even in this stage!
I repeat:
Do not keep them in a city/populated area

dear Americans very concerned and angry about the concentration camps your government is running:
you should be angry, you should be furious, you should do everything and anything you can to shut them down.
but here in Australia, we've had concentration camps for refugees for nearly 25 years. we've protested and petitioned and yelled, but the government was 'clever' and put them offshore, away from the mainland where we can't reach them, can't storm them. then they banned journalists from going. then they banned doctors.
the only time mainstream news tends to report on the "offshore detention centres" is when yet another group of children try to commit suicide.
yes, the Australian government has concentration camps for people fleeing warzones, and the people in those camps are tortured so bad that the children try to kill themselves.
Americans, I hope you manage to close your governments camps, by law or by force. maybe when you're done, you can turn your attention to us? we could use some loud international outrage from a western ally, the government might care. the public has spent 20 years trying and failing.
non-Australians, please spread this information. I don't think many people know internationally, except the island nations we pay to host our camps and keep quiet.

I am aghast
It’s time for my craziest Queen of Nothing theory yet
So, I think Cardan’s going to transform into a giant snake. Literally. I know you think I’ve officially lost it, but hear me out.
We don’t know the full prophesy depicted in Cardan’s star chart, but whenever he says anything about the prophesy he always mentions one specific word: “monster.”
In the deleted scenes of TWK, Cardan thinks about his star chart: “Lord Baphen said he was going to be the ruination of the throne and a monster” (TWK 333).
Also, in “The Lament of Lutie-Loo” the short story at the end of the new bind-up edition of The Modern Faerie Tale Series, Cardan specifically mentions that he’s “prophesied to be a monster” (777).
It could be argued that Cardan is already a monster due to his cruelty or that he could become a tyrant and become a figurative monster. But The Queen of Nothing cover and the poster at Book Con with the giant snake made me think… What if becoming a monster is literal?
So, what if Cardan turned into a giant snake? More accurately, what if he turned into a a wyrm or lindworm? (dragonlike creatures that are depicted similarly to a snake)
Faeries transforming into monsters due to extremely strong emotions are cannon in the Holly Black Fae-verse. In The Darkest Part of the Forest, one of the faeries transforms into a monster after her mortal husband is murdered: “Her grief transformed her. She became a monster, a nightmare creature of grief and sorrow” (TDPoTF 206).
Also, magical transformations are a common trope in fairytales and faery folk lore. A few stories that come to mind are: the ballad of “Tamlin” (which Holly Black’s book Tithe was inspired from), “The Prince Lindworm” and of course, “Beauty and the Beast.”
If there is a curse on Cardan, I think there’s a certain human who can break it. Here’s a quote from the Barns and Nobel description of The Queen of Nothing: “When a dark curse is unveiled, Jude must become the first mortal Queen of Faerie and uncover how to break the curse, or risk upsetting the balance of the whole Faerie world.”
Assuming that Cardan turns into a snakelike creature (I’m going to guess a lindworm), it could be an interesting adaption of the “Prince Lindworm” story. It’s one of my favorite fairy tales so I’ll just leave a link to the story here. The element that I think would be adapted from the fairy tale in TQoN is how the curse is broken. (If anyone wants to write fanfiction of this, I will sing your praises until the end of time.)
Anyways, I don’t think this theory is likely. Elfhame freezing over, Cardan transforming into lindworm and back, and the possible outbreak of war would be a lot to fit into a book that’s 300-400 pgs.
But @fangirlinghard-spoilerson and everyone else, let me know what you think! What do you think the curse is? And what does the snake on the book cover mean?
