#jude and the snake

[artandbooknook]

“And yet, if I love him, there’s only one choice. I draw the borrowed sword at my back. Heartsworn, which can cut through anything.” - Jude Duarte, The Queen of Nothing

“Only out of his spilled blood can a great ruler rise.”

“She draws out armor of a fine scale mail, worked so that it appears like a fall of miniature metal ivy leaves.”

“Boots covered in curved plates of metal. Bracers in a pattern of briars. Shoulder plates of more leaves, curled up at the edges. And a helm that resembles a crown of golden branches with berries gathered on either side.”

The Prisoner's Throne --

Cardan, every two minutes: SNAKE. I WAS A SNAKE.

Also Cardan: why do people keep bringing this up, smh

[devi1sange1]

You’ve heard:

“Jude played kiss marry kill with Cardan’s whole friend group.”

But I raise you:

Jude played kiss marry kill with Cardan. Just Cardan.

It’s one thing to imagine the relief Jude felt when Cardan returned to himself from being a snake.

It’s another to imagine the comfort that Cardan felt when Jude ran to him after being a snake for three days. Imagine not knowing anything other than Jude, and anger for three days, and then Jude, rushes to you and embraces you. Calculating, determined, warrior Queen Jude rushes to you and hugs you.

Cardan must have been beside himself.

"you can't ship them because they're too toxic to each other" WELLL. speak for yourself because i ship them only because they're toxic to each other. they can't be together. one of them might end up killing another. THE DICHOTOMY. THE ANGST. THE TENSION.

Jude with his snake inspired by this homestuck anon tweet:

[mylovecardan]

Vivienne: (at a mortal pet shop with jurdan) You should buy a pet snake.

Jude: I already have a pet snake. His name is Cardan.

Cardan: She isn't talking about me, she's got an actual snake named Cardan

"What I want is him back, him standing beside me, him laughing at all this. I would settle for even his worst self, his cruellest trickster self, if only he could be here."

- Jude Duarte, The Queen of Nothing

If you think that all Jude and Cardan did in chapter 15 of The Wicked King was kiss, then you weren’t paying enough attention.

Cardan took off his shirt and Jude helped take off his pants, for god’s sake. He didn’t stick it in her, but stuff went on. Come on!

Go back and read the scene, then go to chapter 16 when Jude thinks back to it.

There is something called non-penetrative sex. Figure it out. Idk.

YOU GUYS!!!!

I've been re-reading the cruel prince and in chapter 1, it mentions three of Judes favorite toys when she was a child. The ones that she couldn't find it in her heart to throw them away

A koala, a black cat and most importantly...

A SNAKE.

This is why you always have to reread a good book at least once

You dropped your crown Queen 👑✨

High Queen of Elfhame

I recently built up enough courage to start cosplaying!

Here’s a video of me as Jude, the Doctor who crossover we didn’t know we needed (but we did)

Cardan and Jude are 11 and River coded 😌

I made the horns myself (ram horns bc that’s what it says in the book)

I do now have hair stuck everywhere including to my glue gun 💀

Something something watching as a person gains love and hope and a possibility of a better future, but is still filled with such bitterness and rage that they throw it all away and lose the love they had in doing so and become exactly the kind of enemy they always hated.

Not enough scary, unsettling and monstrous Jude and Cardan fanart

Yeah yeah, two hot people, how about an otherworldly high king and his terrifying assassin human? How about the messy, self poisoning woman and her sickly beautiful and hangover mask king?

-Cardan Greenbriar-

Jude,

You are in no mood for games. Very well. I am in no mood for them, either.

Let me write it outright: You are pardoned. I revoke your banishment. I rescind my words.

Come home.

Come home and shout at me. Come home and fight with me. Come home and break my heart, if you must.

Just come home.

-Cardan-
