#Prince Dain

[madockisser]

i love that madoc raised his eyebrows when Jude received a dress from some anonymous person.

i LOVE to think that oriana had told him previously that she caught Jude and dain together, and that ori had presumed that they were lovers.

if this were true, he would’ve assumed the dress were from dain, just like Jude did.

and then he fucking killed dain.

and i love to think that he did it for HER. Not JUST for selfish reasons to be king, but to keep Jude from having an awful lover that would hurt her. Just like how dain hurt liriope.

if you think from this perspective,(that madoc thought her and dain were lovers) then Madocs actions make more sense, especially how he speaks to her after the coronation.

how he disregards Locke, how he tells Jude to off him. he may have thought that she were seeing both Locke AND dain, and encouraged her to free herself from them both.

(doubt it, but this perspective is kinda funny and i love madoc for overprotective fatherly reasons like this)

anyway I’ve been busy filling myself w the Christmas spirit (i love Christmas guys it really just consumes me) and i hope to post more tfota stuff soon

ALSO my darkest part of the forest (annotated one) is at my front door rn BUT I’m out so i will read it IMMEDIATELY im so exciteeddd im gonna post some annotations for anyone that’s interested! <33 love u

Both Oak and Dain had horns, goat legs, blonde curly hair and the same eye colour but NONE of us realised they were father and son. Not even the book characters.

The Cruel Prince, chapter 15

The Queen of Nothing spoilers!

I do still wonder, though. If this particular instruction was from Dain or Cardan. Seems to me that it was from Dain and that Cardan later on instructed to have it sown in a different fabric, and based on the result, the seamstress probably indulged both the princes.

I also wonder what exactly was the reason while also holding on to the theory that he did so because Locke had planned to ask for Taryn’s hand in marriage and since Cardan was the only one who could really tell which twin was which, he probably told his circle of friends that they’d be able to tell by the dresses the twins would be wearing.

You know... due to what I've read on the wiki... Dain's 100% going to lose the loophole that he put on the geas to fuck with Jude in some plot-relevant way later isn't he?

[grendel-menz]

come be just a wild rabid animal with me random girl let's eat your mom

[clockworkbee]

Oh, I love this

If I have to compare the Duarte sisters to the Greenbrier brothers I would have to say Vivi is Cardan, Taryn is Dain and Jude is Balekin...

Vivi and Cardan are the chaotic wild child, they (mostly) do what they want when they want to. Jude and Balekin are people that you do not want to mess around when you know their reputation. Taryn and Dain on the other hand have crafted their mask to deceive others and themselves of how awful they can be

[ivycrestfell]

i like how prince dain and prince balekin just casually go to madocs house in the first book. like that’s funny to me. i wonder if they ever peered at jude and came to the conclusion that she was madocs spy (dain), while balekin came to the conclusion she was just better than cardan at everything.

also makes dains and balekins weird relationships w her a lot worse seeing as they would’ve known her since she were a child. not sure if they care abt that tho since they’re old as fuck and never age, maybe they’re used to seeing future lovers grow up ? (🤮)

anyway cardan on top for not being a pred like his brothers #bestgreenbriar

random note: I find it majorly funny that jude mentions having spoken w balekin before (in early tcp), but never brings it up again. like girl what did u even talk abt w that old fuck!

ALSO how she’s totally wooed and shocked that dain (the crown prince) would call upon her, but doesn’t gaf abt balekin whatsoever. doesn’t reminisce on past convos. willingly goes into his house to fuck shit up. gosh i love her

but she was probably living rent free in balekins mind if u think abt it. dude used her to ridicule cardan, all while technically putting her on a pedestal. And dain did the same. they all technically acknowledged her cunning and strengths and whatnot. Jude was on ALL the greenbriar princes minds (i know a baddie when i read one)

Under the table

Cardan Greenbriar x reader

/!\ Smut, minors dni /!\

! English is not my first language !

Hear me out : Bully!Cardan fucking mortal!reader under a table during a celebration at the court.

TW : Fem!reader, who is referred to as "reader", public sex, voyeurism, breeding kink, both are drunk so dubious consent, objectification of reader

It’s short, also I wrote that quickly.

First time writing smut so it might suck.

This is just filth I’m sorry (I’m not).

The music is loud and stirring and fills the air with a delicious rhythm, but the atmosphere is far less formal than a few hours ago. It’s already quite late into the celebration and a certain amount of people has already took departure. Now the room is left to the party people, the ones who enjoy taking simple pleasures to the extreme, to dance until their feet burn, to drink their mind into oblivion, to eat until they get sick or to taste the pleasure of flesh.

Everyone is drunk out of their mind and intoxicated by music and wine. Dancing, singing, drinking, yelling everywhere. Some fell asleep on tables due to the immense amount of alcohol they drank, others are grinding against one another on the dance floor more or less vividly, or searching the perfect victim to start a fight, while the darkest corners hold those who couldn’t wait for a room.

Maybe it’s the atmosphere heavy with sex or the diverse exquisite substances he had ingested, but for some reason Cardan, reader’s bully, couldn’t refrain the pulsions to pull her under a table. He covers her mouth and whispers sweet filth in her ear with this delicious voice only he can take. Reader is confused by Cardan’s sudden change of mind, him who always put all his heart into making her feel miserable, but cannot deny the excitement in her stomach, or maybe it’s because of what she drank. She’s almost as intoxicated as him.

When Cardan starts to unlace her dress, she doesn’t protest. When he leaves wet kisses on her neck, she let him go down further until he is completely making out with her breasts. When he unbuckles his belt, she helps him. And soon Cardan is fucking into her like an animal in heat, the tablecloth barely hiding them from lust filled interested eyes.

Cardan’s plainly aware of the few prying eyes, that seem to relish in reader’s fucked out expression, the savoring bouncing of her tits, or the way her hips grinds against Cardan’s ones in desperation.

He can almost guess who’s looking and who’s not. He can perfectly picture them in his mind, just by how well he knows the court and its vices. Valerian fisting his cock in a corner, always hungry and unwillingly turned on by mortals. Dain, silently savoring the scene, acting nonchalant though he is already plotting a way to get his turn with reader. Or even Balekin who, being as depraved as he is, even if he will never admit to be attracted by a mortal, cannot pretend he is not getting hard at the thought of reader getting pounded into like a slut.

Cardan smiles. He enjoys putting on a show for the few people with the filthiest mind of the court, and he enjoys even more the ego boost that he is the one having his way with you, not them. He is the one you are willingly getting fucked by, letting him use your body as if he had never been cruel to you. He is the one tasting every fiber of your sweet cunt with his sensitive cock. He is the one squeezing your tits, the one grasping at your ass, the one holding your thighs open for him. As if you were no more than a rag doll for him to release his desires onto. He is the one making those guttural moans coming out of your mouth, your hand poorly containing them.

When he finally releases into you, he cannot help but to give a few more trusts, making sure you take all his seeds, a lustful, wicked, intoxicated grin on his face at the idea of getting you pregnant. His sweet little victim, carrying her bully’s child, or children perhaps, mortals are so easy to get pregnant anyway.

He gives you one last messy and wet kiss on the lips as a goodbye and pulls out, while you’re too dazed to even react. He puts his pants back on and gets out from under the table, leaving you there, alone, laying on the floor and exhausted, with his seeds still in your cunt, and the promise of more similar encounters.

okay i don't know if i'm reaching but like hear me out

(the wicked king, right after nicasia shoots at cardan)

so there's a few ways to interpret this right cardan's mother was never a consort, so these may very well be her old rooms. she and cardan have a tumultuous relationship, he was content to let her rot in the tower of forgetting, but elevated her to a position of power after jude was banished and he thought she chose not to come back. so yeah, maybe he did choose those rooms to like, be closer to his mother? find answers? who knows. however, at this point of time, cardan thinks of jude as the person he serves right? he thinks he's just playing at being king and knows she's the one with real power/sovereignty. so if he's in the rooms of the "high king's lovers who weren't consorts" were not in a secured position of power, what if he chose those rooms because that's what he considered himself?

what if he considered himself just as much as jude's creature as she considered herself dain's?

[thecourtofteeth]

I just woke up and feeling controversial, so isn't it so funny that the tfota fandom is like:

about locke, dain, balekin: yeah I hate him but I can admit that's he's a good/important character! Also he's hot!

about taryn: she's an UGLY BITCH who can ROT in HELL and she's awful the WORST character in the series, did I mention that she's an UGLY CUNT?

[untamedwind01]

So you’re telling me Dain never saw Oak and was like “wait a damn minute 👀👀”… seeing how he’s an exact clone of him with those clickity clackity feet and not Madoc’s green ass 😂😂

[highladyofterrasen7]

Me after locke, balekin and dain were all made hot

[thejudeduarte]

Is noone gonna talk about the fact that in tcp, in that scene where Jude gets poisoned by the faerie fruit, they see 7 shooting stars and Jude describes that at as dozen deaths. I haven't heard anyone mention that that could have been foreshadowing what was to come later during the coronation as 6 Fae died then (Elowyn, Eldred, Dain, Rhyia, Caelia and Taniot) and also Valerian earlier on which makes 7 deaths like prophecied.

I thought it was really clever, nothing a reader would have really paid attention too.

cardan at the family reunion

[itsjustanan]

i think it was so badass of cardan to be the abandoned useless child who nobody gave a damn about or believed in, then proceeded to be the only child of eldred’s to have a crown on his head and a kingdom to rule, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰
