I hate that I put effort into this.

The amount of people that reduce Jude Duarte's character to being a bloodthirsty killer gets on my nerves. Jude is not bloodthirsty, she doesn't delight in killing people. She is trying to survive in a world that is not meant for mortals, a world that wants to break her.

She forgave Taryn and disguised herself to save Taryn after she killed Locke, took pity for Cardan when seeing him get hit by Balekin, saving the human girl Sophie and cried herself to sleep after she died, and went to save the Ghost even though he betrayed her (yes, I know the reason behind his betrayal).

Every time she takes a life, it's because that person has tried to hurt her back.

Valerian tried to kill her in Chapter 18 when he broke into her home. Jude stabs him in the chest but still tries to help him afterwards.

"He reaches for the blade as though to draw it out. Don't, I say automatically, because that will only make the wound worse. I grab for anything nearby-there is a discarded petticoat in the floor that I can use to stanch the blood. He slides down onto his side, away from me, and sneers, although he can barely open his eyes. You've got to let me-, I start." He despises her but even in his final moments, she wanted to help.

She has suffered so much in life and did things that she had to do to survive. And when she spills blood, it's not for fun. It's to protect herself or the people she loves.

Jude Duarte is not cruel like Balekin or Valerian or sees people as amusements like Locke. Jude is kind, selfless, and puts others before herself.

I love seeing her kick some ass but don't reduce her character to that. She's so much more.

Me when Jude Duarte:

Me when people reduce the complexity of her character to her being a killer (y'all don't get her like I do):

“I know I'm not who you pictured yourself with, but I think I could be, eventually. If you'll let me. So don't go. Because I don't want you to. Because you're my best friend, and I'm in love with you.”

I’m very curious to see how you draw Elliott. He’s so baby girl <3

Pov: This guy is probably thinking about making a poem about you (Thank you!!)

I actually drew all Bachelor and Bachelorettes on a stream a while ago, so I just need the encouragement to give them some colors, so the requests are helping me with this 🥰
