Interact with this post if you would read a full length Cardan novel, I want to see how much of y’all want it

I'd like to think that Cardan gives thanks to lady luck everyday for his marriage towards Jude

Mr Cardan how did I get so lucky? Greenbriar

Something that I love about Jude and Cardan is they actually raise hell for each other. In other books, characters will often make these grand declarations of love and say things like 'i would burn the world for you' or destroy everything for you or whatever, but with Jurdan, they don't rlly say stuff like that to each other, they just do it. Like Cardan signing off a peace treaty allowing the undersea to attack the land and risk war to get Jude back, going against his morals and killing Madoc's guards when they were taking her, or Jude letting Snardan poison the land as long as possible because she was searching for a way to bring him back.

ⓘ This user wants to be someone's sweet villain and darling god, dearest punishment and sweet nemesis, who they think is the only real thing in a land of ghosts, and by who they are forever undone.

the cruel prince in a nutshell

jude: *is insulted* i beg your pardon?

cardan: *smirking* then beg.

What I liked about HOW THE KING OF ELFHAME LEARNED TO HATE STORIES Was how it revealed that one of the things Cardan observed about Jude, was her presence. Her footprint made him contemplate how she could carelessly make the world acknowledge her existence by just existing. And compare it with his own invisibility. How he has to be loud and outrageous to be seen and she can just Walk. It is more complicated than that of course but

I loved that.

Jude: *sneezes*

Cardan: Bless you

Jude: I was blessed the first time I laid my eyes on you

Cardan: I was horrible to you and you hated me

Jude: I still thought you were hot

[nighttimewalking]

Best believe Cardan did not in fact have his foot in the reeds to get a better look, but because he’d realised he’d put Jude in danger and didn’t want her to get hurt

[darlingod]

Nicasia rlly set herself up when she asked Cardan to mess with Jude and Taryn. Like thank u girly for finally giving our boy an excellent excuse to talk to his crush. We’ll take it from here

[cardudescrown]

Cardan: I think I like you

Jude: and I think i want to stab you

Jurdan after having kids

Jude: *Sees Cardan nodding at something Lady Asha is telling him while holding Jurdan baby* Jude, to the audience: Whenever Lady Asha tries to give Cardan parenting advice, he just does the opposite. It has worked out pretty well so far.

""The next time you want to make a point," Jude says, "I beg you not to make it so dramatically." His shoulder hurts, and she may be right about the iron poisoning. He certainly feels as though his head is swimming. But he smiles up at the trees... "So long as you're begging," he says."
