if the character is problematic, has dark hair, blue eyes(usually), a tragic backstory and is overall an arrogant sarcastic piece of shit then ladies and gentlemen IM ALREADY IN LOVE

I think of the golden bridle, about the future the stars predicted. “I don’t know how to break the curse,” I say, all the tears haven’t shed welling up in my eyes.

Day 13 - Owl Mask 

“a boy in an owl mask and a golden headdress” from “The Cruel Prince” by @hollyblack

[thenovl]

I turned a quick painting I did of Jude and Bryern into a short comic of part of the released prologue/first two chapters of The Queen of Nothing. Y’all I’m ready for this book

[thenovl]

Friendly Reminder: Cardan is a bookworm. And he’s a mortal fable fanboy. Jude finding Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in Cardan’s room was one of my favorite unsolved conundrums about him in the first book. Jude questioned its unusual appearance in his room, but got too distracted to look more into it. But there is definitely something about mortals that interests him. He makes another reference to a mortal fable, the Ant and the Grasshopper, in The Wicked King. I’m curious if he used these stories as a means to escape his reality in Faerie. He’s made it clear on several occasions that he’d prefer to be secluded from the court, whether by distance or drink. - I’ve used this as a sketch break between projects for the longest time, but finally polished it up last night. I’ve had many ask why I don’t draw Cardan’s tail, and that’s because it’s hinted quite often that he’s either ashamed or embarrassed by it. It’s the subject of gossip and Jude’s curiosity, so I keep it hidden when he’s in a public setting (which most of my drawings / crafts of him are - excluding baby Cardan). So here. Have a tail. 🧡
