them: are you okay?

me: *weeping, cradling body* someone tell me jurdan is real. please. *weakly* someone.

Jude: *walks into the room* 

Oak: She's covered in blood again. Why is it she's always covered in blood? 

The Roach: Well, it looks like it’s her own blood this time.

I'm begging you to reread TFOTA and think after every sentence which leaves Cardan's mouth that he CANNOT LIE. And I'm not talking about our basic stuff like "You want to hear me scream." "Yes I do and maybe one day I will.", but more about basic stuff he pops out, like when the folk was eating Snardan he was just like "I always new I taste delicious." Sir, what?

"The Folk adore Cardan, and they’re terrified of my sister, two excellent things. "

Instead of being afraid, I could become something to fear.

If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse.

Faerie being afraid of Jude is one of my favorite things ever. After all the things they've said about mortals , being terrified of a mortal queen is probably one of the most satisfying things I've ever read.

So… I LOVE JUDE ! Very quiet literally ! Cause she not only was the main character of her books but she was also the main character of her brothers books, which ultimately makes her THE MAIN CHARACTER!

Also can we appreciate the balance oak was between Cardan and Locke ? Despite majority my literal being despising Locke with all my wit I cannot help but notice how oak’s thoughts are all like that of Cardans’ but majority of his actions at least till the whole of stolen heir and more than half of the prisoner’s throne were that of Lockes’. Though at the end he did a lot of actions like that resembling Cardan or even Dain. But no one can deny that oak is the perfect mixture of Locke and Cardan !

You know that trope of a very hardened strict mother-figure that is actually just an embarrassingly sweet mess in closed doors with the people she trusts? Yeah

[janescrazy]

when cardan complains about people remembering him as a snake and how he could’ve always sat on a dark throne biting people who annoyed him had me blushing because jude sat next to snake cardan for a whole day. he even slept with her there. he’s admitting jude doesn’t and has never annoyed him. why am i so obsessed with them

[abruisedmuse]

I missed his dramatic self.

Also, they love each other so much it's sickening

Cardan using the ring he stole from Jude to marry her:

Oak discretely proposing to Wren by slipping his ring onto her finger to make it look like they were already proposed:

Greenbriar men 🤝 proposing/marrying their significant others in chaotic ways using tricks the Roach taught them

I’ve got a stupid theory that Cardan is actually terrifying powerful as an high king.

I mean, Eldred was one of the most important and long lived king of Elfhame, and yet, most of his subjects were unaware of the strict bound between a king and the his reign.

At the coronation, the Folk were amazed by BUTTERFLIES.

In Cardan’s first year of kingdom, he raised an island.

He constantly manipulated plants, the earth, and even changed the castle!

In TPT, he turns the ghost into a tree with half a thought.

And yet, he now hates to be deemed scary, so “he leaves the fighting to his wife”.

I hope this isn’t invalidating for our Queen Jude’s strength, but for once, just once, I’d love to see Cardan going God mode defending/avenging her :)

The Prisoner’s Throne snippet from Holly Black:

“Have I ever told you how much you sound like Madoc when you talk about murder?” Cardan asks, opening one eye, “Because you do.”
