Goodbye Note

Eden's Gate loves me. More'n my husband ever did.  Now that my man... ain't around no more, none of these possessions mean anything to me. I'm gonna move west and start a new life in the Project. Help yourself to whatever's here.

okay so Cardan hides his tail because it gives away his real emotions. It makes him feel vulnerable, so he hides it away. and like, it can't be super comfortable to tuck it away all the time, but its better than having people use it against him. and when Jude is interrogating him, she first mentions the letter she found with her name on it over and over again - he's not really ready to admit his feelings for her, so he tries to redirect by bringing up his tail.

"Just ask me something. Ask about my tail. Don't you want to see it?"

Like, he is absolutely terrified of her (which he also had literally just said) nearly his whole family is dead, he doesn't want to die too, he knows she is capable of killing - and at this point he thinks she hunted Valerian down to kill him. and despite all of this, he's like 'let me offer you my most vulnerable and true self' but she doesn't quite get it bc she's also dealing with a lot and trying to process a lot.

and then by the Queen of Nothing, he has his tail out. his clothes are now cut in a way to let his tail be free. and its all because Jude has helped him see that sometimes being emotional and vulnerable isn't so bad. Even without her there with him, even with him horrified that he ruined everything because she hasn't responded to any of his letters - lets his tail be visible. And to quote him from How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories:

"Everyone finds different lessons in stories, I suppose, but here's one. Having a heart is terrible, but you need one anyway."

So, I heard it was Holloweane Week?

It’s a bit late in the week but I wanted to draw something for it, and I liked this prompt.

The way I see it- their roles may have been swapped, but their dynamic? Exactly the same.

still with you

[sweetvillainjude]

actually wild of holly black to write cardan’s arc so powerfully that I went from genuinely hating him and never believing I’d like him to thinking “ok so maybe he’s not awful ALL the time” to desperately rooting for him and furiously wanting him to be loved and happy over the span of three books. like tfota was WILD for doing that (and doing it so well)

Do you randomly cry over the fact that Quill Kipps went from wanting to stab Lockwood to taking a stab for Lockwood and how that is the best character development you have and will ever see, but still people forget about him and his amazing jokes? .....Or are you normal?

"it's you i love. i spent much of my life guarding my heart. i guarded it so well that i could behave as though i didn't have one at all. even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. but it is yours." - cardan greenbriar to jude duarte, the cruel prince, by holly black

[makiswirl]

can i just say. and this is probably a niche hill to die on. that i am so gobsmacked every time someone vaguely hints at the idea that jotaro doesn't care meaningfully for the other crusaders, usually particularly kakyoin and joseph, when those two actually tend to be the ones he reacts to being hurt the hardest

like he cares for his loved ones!!!! that literally plays into his character motives in every single part he shows up in!!! stop lying to me!!!!!!!

[imamirrorballlll]

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW PIP WOULD'VE FELT WHEN SHE SAW RAVI'S TEXT AFTER THE VERDICT WAS READ? CAN YOU IMAGINE HER HAPPINESS? THAT FEELING, THE ONE WITH WINGS? HE WAITED FOR HER. AND EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY AGAIN. MY PIPRAVI HEART IS SOOO FULL JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.

ch 3 under construction…have this instead

Everytime I remember this show I always think of how I used to think the mom and dad were both women 😭 i believed with my whole heart that they were lesbians (before I knew what that was) and was a bit sad to learn that they weren't
