posting this by popular request AKA Just One Person™, i did this lol. can you tell i don't really draw b.fdi characters. anyway. talking about each thing under the cut, i would talk more logically and talk about my actual thoughts and opinions on the characters' personalities and junk but i'm so sleepy

favorite character: there is not a single character that comes close to s.nowball in how much i like them (i lied. there is another. but it's still not equal). he has been my favorite ever since i first watched b.fdi as a little thing nearly a decade ago. all of my friends (even the ones i have irl) know i'm like somewhat obsessed with him to the point where one of my friends drew a lot of ship art of me and him in middle school. i've technically been self-shipping with him since i was in middle school (when i learned what the term was), but even before that i was just in love with him like a little freak. oh i guess i should say why i like him. well he's very charming and funny and stupid and i have always had a thing for big guys, fat and muscular, so this is. wolf whistle. i swear i like him for his personality and not just because he's attractive

liked by everyone but me: i just don't get the appeal. like i don't hate her or anything but i just . she really miffed me a lot during b.fdi and what i watched of b.fdia (only 1-5e don't kill me guys modern b.fdia is just not for me). i guess fanon also plays a part in this because of how i always see people either lusting after her or only talk about her in the context of shipping like damn even her fans have nothing to say about her. i'm sure she's splendid in her own way and i did like that scene at the end of t.pot 9 with her and g.aty and i also like what she's providing for dpya like wow i've never seen them more productive. again i'm sure she's great but i wish the fanbase was. normal about her

didn't like at first: i used to think she was like suuuper mid until i got off my ass and rewatched b.fdi and i was like wow. i really like this one. i like how she interacts with other characters i like her voice i like that she runs super fast and is also very strong i love all of that about her. hashtag women. i also think that compared to other contestants she's kinda normal which is sooo funny like outside of her strengths and the "don't call me needy" thing she's just so. normal. at least in my eyes. love that for her

would like to know more about: you. what are you plotting. what's wrong with you what's your deal. tell me everything.

least favorite character: i wouldn't say i have a least favorite, but r.uby just never stuck out to me really. in what i saw of b.fdia, she was just comic relief, though the "comic" part of that kinda flew over my head. not because i didn't get it, but i just don't think she's that funny. maybe it's because i'm an adult, but what is so funny about poopy mayonnaise that's just gross. i also barely remember her doing anything in post-split b.fb so. it's not that i don't like her it's just that i don't think she's funny and i can't think of her doing anything super memorable

like the design, dislike the character: i don't dislike f.oldy!! as a s.tapy fan i am obligated to like her. however comma. like r.uby, she doesn't really. do anything. in b.fb she's just s.tapy's friend, and then i always forget that she was in t.pot because she (say it with me now) didn't do anything. i do like her design i like how she's like origami. i've never learned it myself but if i knew how them i would like her more because then there would be so many different appearances i could imagine herself having. but unfortunately i do not know how, so she's just so forgettable to me.

like the character, dislike the design: guys why does she have spots. i get that she'd be boring if she was just a plain white egg but i don't like the spots. a full pattern would've been nice, kinda like how people decorate easter eggs, but just in white and yellow. i would like that. also that thing she said about her being "an egg inside of an egg" as a baby has absolutely demolished so many of my brain cells because every time i remember it im just hit with the realization that Objects Might Be Oviparous And That Thought Horrifies Me

similar personality: he is just like me fr. like we're definitely the same guy. if you know c.lock's personality, then that's just how i act. i'm actually just like him it's insane. i also love w.inner and hate when people touch my face it's like looking in a mirror

fav ship: w.inclock on top my number one forever. i used to actually hate it but then t.pot 7 came out and i changed my mind. ever since then i have been insane like a rabid animal i need to write more of them. i love ships like this where like A is just so completely smitten with B to the point of near-obsession and B hates A. i know they technically aren't like that anymore but a man can dream.

least fav ship: sorry i'm coming out as heterophobic. fr though i really don't like this ship mostly because it's probably the closest one to being canon outside of f.ire.afy and like. idk some other ship. the way they interact with each other is so couple-like and it makes me feel like i'm third-wheeling for two objects. also i think pin deserves better like i like c.oiny but i think she should be with a woman or something.

would befriend irl: i actually know so many people that act like them it's crazy. i'm sure we would get along just fine, might even fuck around and become best friends or something idk. they kinda remind me of my old best friend like they both act like that

would never befriend irl: oh i would HATE her. our personalities do not mesh at all and i just know i would shittalk her when she can't hear me because i just would not like her.

The Cruel Prince Deadass Book Review

Jude and her twin sister Taryn are normal human girls growing up in faerie world, which sounds delightful, only it isn't. It's horrifying.

Jude could literally leave this nightmare at any time and go shop at Target, but no. This chic wants world domination. And the dick from faerie school is in her way.

This is an unhinged book review of The Cruel Prince By Holly Black

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

I had a HUUUUGE book hangover after Red, White, and Royal Blue.

I couldn’t decide what I wanted to read next, and was also poor and couldn’t blow $20 on a new audiobook I knew I wouldn’t be AS obsessed with.

So I tried a few free audiobooks for a while… like this one (“The Stand In”) where an everyday girl is asked to be a doppelganger for a celebrity and ends up falling in love with that celebrity’s boyfriend. It was cute, but didn’t really grab me. So I tried another called “Neanderthal Seeks Human” that literally opens up to a woman stranded on a toilet at work because she is out of toilet paper. And she is just having the WORST DAY EVERS. After she somehow gets out of the bathroom (the author never explains HOW, which really upset me and made me think she’s walking around with a poopy butt for the rest of the story), a hot security guard escorts her downstairs because she got fired. And she doesn’t know his name, so she keeps calling him “Hotty McHot Pants” in her narration, and I was just like “I’m done. I’m just done. I can’t do the Hotty McHot Pants.”

So then I was scrolling on the “BookTok” Hashtag on TikTok, even though I’m 35 and have no business being on that app. And I came across this hilarious girl called “NewlyNova” who made this review of a book called “A Cruel Prince” https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMR7roGCk/

Like NewlyNova said, it’s “Game of Thrones for teenaged girls.” -- so the first chapter opens with this cat-like Faerie guy entering some suburban home in California and killing the parents. Then he kidnaps 2 twins and 1 other little girl that was there who looks like him. The protagonist of the story is Jude, who also narrates. Her sister is Taryn, who is her identical twin. And their older sister is Vivienne, who is half human and half cat faerie. Jude’s mortal mother was married to Cat Faerie man, but then faked her own death and ran away with his baby, married a mortal man, and had the 2 twins. Cat Faerie (Maddok) raised the human girls as his own in the world of Faerie… which sounds beautiful and magical, and totally is, but it is also horrific.

Like... Faeries don’t give a fuck.

They’re brutal and mean and their favorite thing ever is just messing with each other… and/or killing each other. Like death is no biggy in this world. Someone stabs someone at a party and everyone chuckles and steps over them. There’s a scene where some Faerie kid bumps into our antagonist (Cardon) at a party, and he TEARS HIS WINGS OFF. Like… and then eats h'ordeuvres. It’s fucking nuts.

The Faerie world is especially horrifying for humans. They’re even more susceptible to magic and poisons and basically have targets on their backs. Apparently humans in this world are not unheard of? But extremely rare. And usually like… brainwashed servants. So it’s crazy that Jude and Taryn are going to fucking Faerie school with the other teens in this fantasy horror forrest, along with literal princes and princesses from all of the various species and factions. It’s like an anime up in here. Everyone has crazy hair and skin colors and some have animal features, or are like… mermaids… and everyone is gorgeous and has pointed ears. It’s fun. BUT SCARY.

Jude hates being a human in this nightmare world and hates being powerless even more. She’s all about swords and wants to be a knight and wants to compete in the special knight-making competition, but her murder-Dad tells her no. She competes (just not as a knight candidate) and picks a huge fight with Cardon, the class drunk, who is also one of the sons of the Faerie-land ruler. He has like 8 kids or something and Cardon is one of the youngest. He’s also probably the pissiest.

He’s weirdly obsessed with Jude (she found his notebook and there was an entire page of just her name angrily written over and over again…. And the audiobook narrator literally had to say “Jude” like 52 times bless her heart). Anyway, he bullies her. He tells her to quit coming to school and accept that she’s just a dumb fucking mortal and she tells him to go fuck himself. Not those literal words. But something equivalent.

So then for several chapters, Cardon and his friends basically try to kill Jude. Or really embarrass her. Cardon has a little posse which consists of Locke, a cool, composed fox boy. Nicasia, the quintessential mean girl. And Valerian, an actual homicidal maniac.

One time they are at star charting class in faerie school, and Valerian TACKLES JUDE, straddles her, and shoves a poison apple into her face until she nearly suffocates. Jude lives, but is high off her ass on magic apple, and is the laughing stock of the class. Literally the teacher is like “Well, I guess this is happening. Anyway, see you all tomorrow”. Nicasia gets her to strip down to her undies. Cardon is being an asshat and is like “Kiss my foot.” and she’s about to fucking do it when Locke the fox boy steps in and saves her.

I was like… all ready for Cardon to be the good guy in this situation? I thought he would finally step in and be like “Guys, guys, this is too far.” and throw a coat over her and help her. But he DIDN’T. And I was so surprised it was LOCKE.

So then for a few weeks, Jude and Locke are a thing. They make out in a tower. It’s adorable. He’s actually nice to her, unlike the rest of Cardon’s gang.

In addition to the school drama, Jude is visited by Dane, who is one of Cardon’s older siblings and the first choice to get the crown when his Dad decides to retire (which is apparently soon). Dane asks Jude to be a spy for him, because she is human and can sneak around in places Faerie can’t, and she can LIE.

So this is another fun thing. Faerie folk can’t lie. They can skirt around things and omit, and can even talk in riddles or mislead, but they can’t outright say something that isn’t true. So that’s neat.

Locke also said once that Jude is beautiful, which is super sweet, because that means he means it!

So Jude is a spy for Dane, because all of his siblings are trying to kill each other Game of Thrones style. He gives her a "gesh" that makes her impervious to Faerie mind tricks (that is probably spelled wrong. I'm listening to this stuff on audio book so I'm probably getting a lot of shit wrong, sorry).

She sneaks into his brother Balekin’s house and sees a letter on his desk talking about all the bitchin poisoning he wants to do.

And at one awkward point, she has to hide under a table while Balekin beats his younger brother Cardon silly. Like clearly there’s messed up feelings in this family. I forget even why Balekin is beating the shit out of Cardon. But anyway, that happens and that’s how Jude figures out that her CRUEL classmate is living there.

When she’s not going to Faerie school, she’s going to spy school. She hangs out with Dane’s other spies like Roach, Ghost, and Bomb (code names). They’re also assassins. They teach her how to kill stuff better. Jude is also poisoning herself on purpose now, trying to build up an immunity to the litany of things that can kill her in this world.

One day at school, Valerian corners her alone after class and tells her to go apologize to Cardon, then throw herself off the tower and die. Faeries can glamor humans and make them do whatever they want, so he figures out pretty quickly that his magic isn’t working. And before he can ask why, she stabs him in the ribs. He lives, but is out of school for a few days lol.

One night, Jude fucks up bad and goes back to Belkin’s house because she thought of something and wanted to double check his desk. She goes back there, but doesn’t find what she’s looking for. So she decides to steal one of the brainwashed human servants, who she feels bad for, but accidentally ends up causing this girl to have a mental breakdown and before she can save her, the girl hurls herself into the ocean.

Jude is having a bad day.

It gets worse when Dane shows up, livid that she stabbed Valerian (thank god he doesn’t know about the servant she stole and then accidentally shocked into suicide). To punish her, he makes her stab her hand with a knife. Jude starts thinking that maybe Dane isn’t such a great guy after all and maybe the entire royal family is full of douchebags.

Any way, that night Valerian shows up and tries to kill her again.

So she stabs him properly this time and hides the body under her bed.

I’m like… Jesus this girl is racking up quite the body count. And it’s only Tuesday. Then she just like… GOES TO SCHOOL with her classmate’s BODY UNDER HER BED. But it's cool you guys, because faeries don't decompose. And eventually she just buries him in the yard. And then she gets all excited about the pretty dress she gets to wear to the new king’s coronation and I’m like… is this protagonist… secretly… a monster? I am here for it. Jude, you fucking power-hungry psychopath.

So the whoooooole kingdom is at the coronation. And the old ass Faerie king is like “I choose my son Dane to be the next king. La la la commence the long, complicated ceremony. Oh yeah, and he’s naked for some reason. Everybody be cool with that, it’s Faerie stuff.” and Jude is thinking… "okay he’s mean. He made me stab my hand. But once he’s king, I’ll get rewarded for being a spy. Life will be great. Cool cool cool."

Then Belkin steps forward and stabs Dane. And then stabs a bunch of his siblings. He spares a few sisters, because the only way for the crown to be transferred is if a sibling places it on a person’s head. But then one sister kills herself and the other GETS killed by one of Dane’s assassins. So Belkin is standing there now, having MURDERED HIS ENTIRE FAMILY and is like…. “WHERE THE FUCK IS CARDON?”

So bitchy ass drunk ass Cardon is the only person alive in the kingdom that can crown him the new ruler… and he’s nowhere to be found. The Termite King (actual person) says that Belkin has 3 days to find his brother and get crowned, and if he can’t do that, then Faerieland will just submerge into anarchy I guess. MAGICAL ANARCHY.

And then they literally just… keep partying.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU?

Faeries man. They are hard core. They’ve over here doing shots off their dead king and shit. Okay, that doesn’t happen (he exploded into moths anyway). But that is totally something they would do.

So Jude is on her hands and knees crawling around under the tables, because this is not a great place for a mortal to be. Especially one that swore allegiance to the guy who just got murdered in his birthday suit.

Oh oh. Also. Her Murdering Cat Dad was one of the people who stepped up and helped Belkin kill everyone. Jude thought he was loyal to Dane, but he was loyal to Balekin all along. Then right after that, Maddock, her sister, and Locke fucking LEFT THE PARTY. Like… LEFT HER THERE.

Oh oh !!! ANd oh my god Becky let me tell you about this part.

Our boy Locke? Adorable boy with fox ears? Good at kissing? Has been apparently dating Jude’s sister Taryn this whole time. He broke up with Jude in a weird way earlier at the party while they were dancing… by saying.. “How much do you love me? Do you love me enough to let me go?” --- and Jude is like… hmm.. Well that sucks. In the last 2 days I murdered two people and got dumped. Being a teenager is hard!!

Then right after that, she saw Locke being all flirty with her identical twin like…….??? And then the murdering started. And then they ran away and LEFT HER.

So Jude is crawling under the tables when she randomly bumps into CARDON!!! He’s wearing a silver mask… so he’s sort of disguised… but we find out later he’s just being his usual drunk asshole self, and was passed out cold while his family was murdered. Then I guess he didn’t know what else to do so he just kept partying. Jude is like “Oh my god fucking come with me you god damned idiot.” and they kind of help each other get out of the party because she is a mortal and he is the most wanted prince right now.

Jude is trying to figure out what to do next. The guy that was supposed to give her power just died. So she takes Cardon to the spy training room in the palace she was going to spy meetings in.

And she totally flips the script and holds a knife to Cardon’s neck and is being such a badass. She’s all like “Oh I’m sorry, you thought I was helping you? You’re my prisoner, dipshit.” and ties him to a chair. It’s totally awesome because he really has been awful to her up until now. I haven’t even written all of it down. He’s almost gotten her killed or hurt several times. This is totally different from The Unhoneymooners with Olive thinking Evan is a meanie when he’s standing around and doing nothing. Cardon once threw Jude and her sister into a river with man-eating selkies and stood back, ready to watch the bloodbath. He like, YANKED her hair back and threatened her after the knight contest thing.

So Cardon is genuinely shocked and put off by her threatening him, which is refreshing to see. But he’s also being surprisingly charming. I mean he’s drunk as hell. The banter is pretty hilarious with him tied to the chair, bargaining for his life. There’s this part I love where Dane’s other spies (Roach, Ghost, and Bomb) burst in the room and find them there… and Cardon just goes “Hello.”

Okay, so Jude is kind of scary. The spies are standing around like… do we give him over to Belkin and swear allegiance and get a reward? Do we kill Cardon and just let the world fall into chaos and watch it burn? Jude demands that Cardon is HER prisoner, and they aren’t allowed to kill him.

Cardon: Yay!

Jude: Let me go talk to my Cat Dad and find out why he betrayed Dane, and whether or not it would be a good idea for me to leverage Cardon’s life. Then we can kill him.

Cardon: Boo…

So Jude talks to Cat Dad and we’re not sure yet why he chose Belkin over Dane. I guess politics. I might need to listen to that part again. But he is like “If you know where that stupid prince is, you need to tell me.” And she’s thinking about it.

In the meantime, Jude and her sister are PISSED at each other. Locke I guess… was just sort of playing with both of them. He outright told Jude that he is a drama whore, so I don’t know why we’re all so surprised. But he wanted to marry Taryn and flirt with Jude for funzies, so Jude handles this well.

Just kidding she totally pulls a sword on her sister.

And they have this big dramatic fight in the game room where Taryn gets to vent like… “Hey thanks for picking a fight with the cool kids. I never wanted any part of that. Thanks for asking.” And Jude is like “No coping mechanisms! MURDER SISTER!!!”

Vivi shut the fight down. And everyone is mostly cool again. Cat Dad says no one gets to marry Locke because he’s a douche canoe.

In Chapter 25, Vivi brings a sandwich up to Jude’s room and tries to convince her to run away to the human world with her. She has a cute pink-haired girlfriend there. But her plan is to live among the feral faerie folk and turn acorns into money and just fuck off doing what they want to in California for the rest of their lives (honestly, sounds kind of awesome).

Jude is considering it, but is also considering the fact that she is actually a psychopathic killer with a thirst for power, and probably wants to stay in the Faerie world murdering her way to the top.

Regardless of this fact, she tries to apologize to her sister, but Taryn is out doing Taryn stuff. Jude finds Maddock’s wife, Oriana out on the balcony and they have a conversation about back in the day when she was a consort to the high king that just got murdered and exploded into moths. They also talk about Locke’s Mom (who has the dopest name ever, LORAIOPEI… lore-eye-oh-pee… I’m listening to an audiobook, I have no idea how these people’s names are spelled).

Anyhoo, Lalapalooza was also a consort, and was poisoned with blusher mushrooms, which paralyze and kill you. Turns out, she was PREGNANT with one of the high king’s bastard children, and Dane had some crazy pants vision that if that kid lived, he could never be king, so he poisoned Loraiopee to kill them both. Only Oriana really loved her friend, so she did her a solid and CUT HER BABY OUT OF HER BELLY before she died and whisked him away to safety, claiming he was her son.

Anyway, that baby was/is Oak… who I haven't mentioned yet. Oak is like 4. Jude sees him as a little brother. He’s sickly because he was cut out of his mother’s stomach prematurely, and he thinks Maddock is his Dad and Oriana is his Mom. But he’s actually an heir to the crown. So now we have 3 heirs running around: Mean ass Belkin, drunk ass Cardon, and 4 year old ass Oak.

Jude is like… trying to figure out how she can use this information to her advantage.

THIS GIRL IS A MONSTER.

So she goes back to the castle to check on her assassin friends who she hopes are interrogating and torturing Cardon, but she opens the door to find them playing poker around a table and drinking together. She’s like god damnit you guys, I gave you one job.

Alright so, Cardon is adorable. I’m into him.

There was a point in this book where he really was unbearable. I kept thinking the author would throw us a bone and have him show some humanity. But nope, every time. He was just a dick. And she did such a good job of making me like Locke and hate Cardon. Like… he was too mean.

So this is REALLY FUN seeing him be so charming. FINALLY. WITH 2 HOURS LEFT IN THE BOOK WE GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER. He’s cutting jokes and being so fucking adorable with the assassins that it pisses Jude off and she’s like, “Cardon, can I see you? In another room?” — So she takes him into Dane’s office and promptly points a crossbow at him.

He totally opens up to her, because he has nothing to lose. And agrees to answer all of her questions. I bet he’s thinking it’s going to be about politics and his siblings. NOPE! Jude surprises all of us and asks about teenager shit. Whatever. I’m here for it. Her first question is — WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH LOCKE? WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM?

Basically?— Cardon answers— Locke is a ho. He is a whoring little fox boy who likes to stir up shit and probably honestly likes Taryn, but probably also wants to get with Jude. Cardon’s like "I don’t know what to tell you, my friend is a slut."

They have all of this great banter in between her threatening his life and him actually being scared of her. Fuck, I would be too. This girl HID A BODY UNDER HER BED AND THEN WENT TO PICK OUT DRESSES.

He opens up about how awful all of his friends are. How he actually really liked (loved!) Nicasia, but Locke stole her from him just for fun. And he’s fucking terrified of Valerian too. Jude shows him the bruises on her neck and shoulder and tells him that Valerian tried to murder her twice, and she stabbed him for breaking and entering in her own home.

This is a total surprise to Cardon, which is a total surprise to Jude, who thought Cardon was instructing his friend to do this. But Cardon is like fuck no, that guy was crazy. I’m a lot of shitty things, but I’m not a murderer.

Jude thinks back to when Valerian was choking her to death smashing Faerie fruit into her face and Cardon was the one to pull him off of her. (At the time, I was like “Yay! Something sweet is happening!” Then he wastes no time in throwing her salt away and demanding she kiss his foot lol) He was fine humiliating her and belittling her, but he was never fine with killing her.

So when Jude asks him what his fucking problem is with her…

He says that he hates her because her Cat Dad actually loves her, even though she’s not even his real daughter. And she has a sweet relationship with her sisters. And has a support system that he’ll never have or be able to relate to. His family hated him and now they’re all dead. Except for the most abusive one that REALLY hates him.

And then Jude says “That’s so sweet.”

Just kidding, she points a knife at him and is like “That’s a stupid fucking reason and you’re pathetic. Why do you really hate me? That can’t be the only reason.”

And she’s got the blade under his throat, and he begrudgingly admits that he can’t stop thinking about her, night and day, and it disgusts him.

And she TAUNTS him, saying like… “You want me. And you can’t stand it.” Aaaaaand KISSES HIM!!!! This is such a great kiss. I did not see it coming. But this is great. It’s great because Cardon clearly has a lot of complex emotions surrounding his reluctant obsession with a human girl who he used to think was weak and annoyingly defiant, but is now terrifying and homicidal. And his hands move slowly up her arms because he doesn’t WANT to kiss her…. But he can’t help it. And finally he gives in and they have this just awesome make out session. It’s savage and hot and I’m living for it.

She pulls back when she realizes she’s treading a line between messing with him/trying to humiliate him and actually enjoying it. So they cool down and Cardon is like cool… so… How about this? How about we placate to Belkin, and I crown him on the condition that he banish me far away where I can be irresponsible for the rest of my life without consequence, and you are granted any kind of crazy power you want. Cool?

And Jude is considering this.

There were points in this story where she was losing me a little bit. I’m glad I hung in there, because the dynamic of Jude and Cardon is actually really interesting. She’s a bloodthirsty maniac, and he’s more harmless than he led on. He’s not good at violence or swordplay. He just wants to get drunk and party. He doesn’t want the crown. She wants to be a magical dictator. I love this.

Jude tells Cardon about her brother being an heir, and how she has this plan to crown her 4 year old brother king…. Then STEAL HIM AWAY to the human world and ask her sister Vivi to raise him on hugs and chicken nuggets, then bring him back when he’s a teenager to be a good and just king. I like how she hasn’t even asked her sister to do this yet, and is totally comfortable pushing this burden onto Vivi, who just wants to live with her girlfriend in a treehouse.

Also?? Her plan is to murder Maddock and uhhh I’m not really sure how she thinks Faerie world is going to function for 10 years while her brother is hidden. Like maybe her plan is for her and Cardon to rule while he’s growing up? I dunno.

Alright so Cardon is like cool, I’m down. I’ll help you make your 4 year old brother king. Whatever. Just promise me every bottle of wine in my father’s cellar and some land far away from here where no one will bother me for the rest of my life.

I like how over everything he is. Like Jude says she’s surprised at how fine he is hanging out with the assassins and wearing the same clothes for days and sleeping on a cot… apparently he was more miserable than she thought living as a prince (getting the shit beaten out of him all the time). I also like that he’s kind of terrible at fighting. She’s over here being miss badass and strategizing and playing war games and Cardon just wants to play poker with the killers and drink. He’s surprisingly tame.

So she negotiates this, and asks him to swear allegiance to her (so he doesn’t betray her or whatever). And he agrees to be in her service for 1 year and 1 day and “not a second more” — and he still seems like he deeply dislikes her/is afraid of her, but simultaneously super into her? It’s adorable.

Faeries can’t lie. And any time they make promises or swear something, they 100% have to do it. It’s like some form of honor magic.

The “revelry” is still going on (aka the week-long party surrounding the king’s coronation whether he explodes into moths or not). So they hang out near the camps of the various tribes and factions and strategize on who to make an alliance with as they try to overthrow Belkin. Cardon has a lot of good information on everyone and helps her know who to talk to (She gets two allies, and the exchanges are cute. This author is really good at writing side characters and making us instantly like them.) — And there’s this really cute part where Jude commands Cardon to sit by this oak tree and wait for her until she gets back, and he says something cute to the effect of “Be careful. Don’t die and leave me waiting.”

So Jude has her alliances. She has Vivi ready to reluctantly take Oak to the human world with her. And she has this epic Ocean’s 11 heist plan to get all dressed up and go to the revelry parties WITH Cardon, out in the daylight, with some kind of plan with the assassins to steal the crown, have Cardon put it on Oak’s head, and then kidnap Oak. I’m sure it’s going to go great and all according to plan.

Oh damn the ending to this book was DOOOPE!!!

I mean I knew something would go wrong. Things wouldn’t happen as planned. But I just didn’t know how it was going to pan out.

Jude and Cardon go to the party and walk arm in arm. Everyone is congratulating Jude on finding Cardon and bringing him there. Belkin is ready to give her whatever she wants in the world and is trying to get Cardon to hurry up and put the crown on his head, but the Lord of Termites guy (one of Jude’s allies) tells him to relax and enjoy the party, there will be plenty of time for that later. Belkin, who just got done murdering almost all of his family in front of everyone, is trying to save some face, so he’s like FINE.

Jude gets into a fight with her Cat Dad. Tells him she won’t let him use Oak and turn him into a war monster. She ends up winning because she poisons him. I was expecting some kind of twist here where Cat Dad wasn’t as bad as she thought he was, but nope. She totally figured out his plan. That’s exactly what he wanted to do. So that happens and they stuff him in a closet.

Alright so then Jude goes back out to the party. Cardon meets up with her and exchanges this funny line where he’s like “How is your night going? The main topic in all of my conversations has been how my head is going to end up on a stake.” *drinks heavily* -- and she’s like shut up babe, I’m plotting.

They set off one of Bomb’s bombs as a distraction so that Ghost can steal the golden crown from its fancy little pillow. And then he mistakes her twin sister Taryn for Jude and throws it to HER. So now Jude is like “Taryn, quit being a bitch and give me the crown.” and Taryn, being a bitch, is like “Wh-what’s going on?!” and there’s this tense moment. Then Belkin gets pinned to the table with an arrow shot by Ghost in the rafters. He’s livid and is like “GIVE ME THE CROWN.” but Daryl is a good sister for once and gives the crown to Jude.

Vivi steps forward with cute little 4 year old ass Oak and is like “Go on. Just like we practiced.”

And Jude is like “Hey Cardon, kneel down so Oak knows what to do.” and he’s like “Um. Sketch. But okay.” and does it. And the second he’s kneeling, she’s like “Thanks. I order you not to move a muscle.” and Oak fuckiiinnnggg recites the thing, and puts the crown on Cardon’s head, making him king!!! The crowd loses their shit because they’re all fickle immortal Faerie Folk who just love unexpected stuff happening, so they’re down with this new… young… alcoholic king.

Cardon is livid.

We went from sexy fun times enemies “hey I still hate you but you also turn me on” back to “I am going to fucking kill you in a year, human girl.” and Jude is even more of a stone cold bitch than we thought she was. She is like 17? 18? And she has the king of Faerie world sworn to obey her every command, so she’s basically using him to control this magical, horrific world that used to threaten her life daily. It’s awesome.

There’s a fun bit with Jude, Vivi, and Oak shopping in Target that I love because it’s such a stark contrast from the Faerie world. But Oak is going to live there with Vivi now buying gummy bears with leaves enchanted to look like money so it’s not going to be a terrible life. I mean maybe terrible for Vivi. She didn’t ask for this. Again, Jude is a monster.

The book ends with her approaching King Cardon on his throne and he’s all creepy and bitter and evil and is like, “c’mere and sit next to me. This is what you wanted, isn’t it?”

I liked this book. It’s easy to read/listen to, but feels rich and I love the descriptions of the environments, food, clothes, and people. Jude cracks me up with how fucked up she is. She makes Katniss look like an angel. But I am just totally in love with Cardon, which is delightful because I really hated him for most of this book. There was a point where I was like “Ew, is he supposed to be the love interest? I hope not…” and seeing him display some humanity/humility paired with confidence and humor while under custody was just hilarious. I love his self-destructive and weird little personality and huge crush on Jude while simultaneously being terrified of her. I would be too. There are 3 books in this series. ON TO THE NEXT ONE!

Hey I noticed u were upset abt not getting attention on twitter? I have a few tips if you want them!

-use lots of hashtags

-make fanart (I recommend Pokémon or celebs?)

-caption your art with a joke or a quote

-interact with others and do art trades

-make art relevant to trending tags

-make art that’s appealing to non-artists: realism, bright colors, and “aesthetics” (cottagecore, goth, etc)

-make art that “feels good to interact with” like stuff with a political message (pollution and mental health are examples)

I understand your post was a vent, and that it’s important to make art you like instead of what’s marketable but alas. I am that guy. Your art is genuinely beautiful and I love the way u do blending and shading and I WANT TO SEE U SUCCEED <333333

so sorry if this hurts you or makes things worse. I’m not very socially apt unfortunately

The post was more of a tiny vent about how it feels like my posts often disappear into the void and the audience I have managed to gather doesn't get to see everything. Twitter is poopy that way (and for many other reasons). But yea, those things would certainly get my art more attention, but I kinda just don't want to draw things I'm not genuinely interested in, since I draw mostly for myself on my free time.

School and hopefully future work stuff is a different thing, those I handle with a different, more professional mentality because you can't always work only on things that you are super into (which is a big reason why on my free time just do my own thing).

Drawing stuff just because they are popular at the moment isn't my thing (it's very important to me to have a connection to what I'm doing or it will feel lifeless and boring to me), but this might be good advice for someone else who wishes to grow their audience!

also coming to realize that my social media communication method of screaming into the darkness will require me to now hashtag ever single post ooopie poopie

Relishing the Quiet Moments

My Husband Rocks!

I’m so grateful for my husband. If it weren’t for him, raising my little son would be so much more difficult.

I was really able to appreciate the partnership we have today. He was busy cleaning up our place after the holiday frenzy.

We were quite a team and Daddy was the MVP. I cooked breakfast and he fed our hangry son. I did the dishes; he took care of some laundry. I sat down to nurse our son, he vacuumed the living room. Then our lil’ dino decided he wanted to help Daddy vacuum. He waddled over to him, humming the pitch of the vacuum (hilarious!), and my husband picked him up and kept about the task.

Coffee or Bust

At this moment, I could have finished the dishes, or dusted, or cleaned bathrooms (all on today’s list), but I didn’t. Instead I longingly set my gaze on my still hot cup of coffee. Usually, I get my coffee going and sneak a couple sips in while I’m spooning oatmeal into my son’s mouth. Then he finishes eating and it’s not too much time before he’s ready for a nap. By the time I get him settled, and go back to my coffee, it’s cold. Sometimes I microwave it, or top it off, but there’s just something about the first, fresh cup that’s better than all the others.

With my husband rocking all the house chores (without even realizing the night before I had written out in a list everything he was doing and it was blessing my socks off!), I didn’t want to just sit down and drink my coffee. That was just too unproductive, (though he would have let me do it).

Then with angelic voices singing in my head, an idea struck me. I need a shower…badly. So I meandered on over towards our bedroom, grabbing my steaming coffee mug off the table as I passed.

Needless to say I thought I was brilliant! I even thought about lighting a candle, but decided not to push this too far up the expectation scale. I mean, what are the chances I’ll get to shower uninterrupted? Just the other day, I had to end my shower prematurely with one leg half shaved and the other…well, not.

This is the Life

I turned the water on HOT, and set my mug on the ledge, and just stood there and relished in the quiet moment I was blessed with.

Thank you, Lord, for this peaceful moment.

Guess what happened then? Nothing! I was able to enjoy my shower, and my coffee, AND get dressed (completely shocking, that one) without interruption. What a refreshing event. Now, I’m ready for anything! Including the massively poopy diaper 5 minutes later. But hey, that was going to happen with or without a shower…or coffee…or clothes… 😉

“You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance.” Psalm 68:8 NIV

What about you?

What has your spouse done to bless your socks off? What can you do to be a blessing in return?
