"Having a heart is terrible, but you need one anyway."

- Cardan Greenbriar, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories

[thejudeduarte]

Being a reader has corrupted me. Like, there are some things in life which I cannot truly see the same again. For example; every time I see an apple my mind immediately goes "JACKS!!" and every time I see some kind of black bird I always have to guess which crow it is. I'm like "well that one's on the roof so it has to be inej" I do it, often, it's disgusting and I can't stop 😭

Ah yes my 2 favorite book men

Aaron "His walk in closet is bigger and fancier than his entire room and made am entire wardrobe for his crush" Warner

And

Cardan "The most extravagantly dressed person in his entire kingdom that his wife recognised his room by just his closet" Greenbriar

guys i was reading the stolen heir yesterday and you know how the kelpie's name is jack of the lake or some shit??? i was going insane bc i kept reading it as jacks of the lake on accident for some reason 😭😭😭

BYE I CANT-

personally I think Holly Black was really brave for dropping the "Cardan and Oak don't get along" bomb months before the book publishes. everyone has spent the past year and a half frothing at the mouth at the thought of a post-timeskip Cardan and she was like "<3 no <3"

after the truly horrible night they both had, it couldn’t end any other way. i hope you enjoyed this episode of Jude *thunking* her head on Cardan’s shoulder and feeling like maybe everything will be okay...

"And yet my heart is buried with you in the strange soil of the mortal world, as it was drowned with you in the cold waters of the undersea. It was yours before I could ever admit it, and yours it shall ever remain."

- Cardan Greenbriar, The Queen of Nothing

[thejudeduarte]

Cardan would DEFINITELY like hog the duvet and take up around most of the bed at night 💀

[flowers-in-my-eye]

if Jude and Inej didnt had male love interests, TRUST that i will immediately headcanon them as lesbians (Jude as a manhating one even) like omg theres no way these girls dont want other girls (i had to resort to hc jude as bi and inej as queer 🤥)

WHAT THE HELL GUYS WHAT THE HELL.

I JUST FINISHED THE STOLEN HEIR-

what the hell was that

I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO REVIEW IT-

I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED WHEN PEOPLE SAID IT WAS BRUTAL-

IM SCREAMING

GUYS I CANT WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF

loved it tho, 5/5 stars pls go read it💕 (there probably was some stuff that i found confusing or like things i found weird i remember thinking about some things but i'm too emotionally broken right now to remember lmao)

[lotus-pear]

It is me once again, younger than you person and also fanfic person.

Who is your favorite character ever?

(I have two from books I've read- Jude Duarte and Percy Jackson) (I think thats how you spell her name)

i have multiple fanfic people ur gonna have to be more specific anon aaa sry😭

top characters of all time would have to be bertholdt hoover aot and greedling fmab.. can you tell i like misunderstood villains doomed by the narrative?

[rose022]

whenever i see a fandom i have never heard of in my life on my dashboard i always know it’s something you reblogged

ahsgajdb yeahhh its an honor tho being that mutual lmaoo

also if you ever wanna learn more about anything i post pleasseeeee talk to me about them i have so many things i could talk about

[cruelprincae]

"see I was a victim too, but no one ever treated me like one" is Cardan throughout the entirety of the cruel prince because Holly black sure managed to convey Jude's trauma, and Wren's trauma and even Oak's trauma but Cardan is just forgotten in the corner AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE FACT THAT BALEKIN LITERALLY WHIPPED HIM TILL HIS BACK FLAYED OPEN AND I AM UPSET. I AM DISTRAUGHT, IF YOU WILL.

TALK. ABOUT. CARDAN. GREENBRIAR.

[romajuliettesupremacy]

if I had a nickel for every book i’ve read in the past year where a grown ass man starts hitting on a 17 year old girl i’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
