Did I just find a parallel between both of my favourite books? Yes, yes I did

The Cruel Prince, page 364

Legendborn, page 477

I knew Cardan was down bad from the second he stepped halfway into the water in TCP. like, Jude slipped and went under and when she came back up, he's one foot in the water and she thinks hes excited to watch her drown but i really think he was about to risk it all and save her bc he obvs didnt want her to drown

“So I am to sit here and feed you information,” Cardan says, leaning against a hickory tree. “And you’re to go charm royalty? That seems entirely backward.”I fix him with a look. “I can be charming. I charmed you, didn’t I?”He rolls his eyes. “Do not expect others to share my depraved tastes.” ― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

forever thinking about Cardan absentmindedly running his finger along the curve of Jude’s ear while they were lying side by side under the stars

[ellennieel]

do you ever think about cardan truly feeling at home in faerieland only after becoming the high king? that he always must've felt as an outcast, an unwanted son, like he doesn't belong, like he has to prove something, that he was eaten alive by his own hatred, by fear and anger. he was just that one excentric youngest prince whom his father doesn't even want to see. his own mother doesn't love him. too young, too weak, too mean.

and then suddenly faerieland at its core is his beating heart, he is the lifeblood, he does not only finally feel like he belongs, faerieland is him. he is genuinely a good king, he is loved, he raised an isle from the bottom of the sea. and it's the deepest connection that can ever be.

because i do.​

Presenting the head canon Jude is actualy quite bad with technology esspecialy around the time of TCP. Like shes passable with using it, but I love the idea of there being major gaps in her knowledge, even going back and forth between the fairie world. Esspecialy if we also consider the headcanon Vivi loves keeping up with mortal tech.

Jude getting self conscious when she finds out Vivi's old I pod nono is considerd outdated or thinking songs from a few years ago are relevant. Jude not understanding how to work a smart TV at Vivi's flat, or being lost when pop culture refrances are made. Jude being completely thrown when she goes to get take out, and is asked to order through the app.

I love all thease little things fueling Judes Isolation from the mortal realm and fueling her drive to ingratiate herself deeper in to Fairie.

forever thinking about Jude “i would've read your love letters every single night” Duarte and Cardan “prayed to God you'd be coming home alright, you would've been fine, we would've been timeless” Greenbriar ...
