I feel like the fandom really mischaracterizes Cardan sometimes, and it’s honestly frustrating. People love to paint him as weak, dumb, or completely reliant on Jude, and it’s just… not true.

First of all, Cardan isn’t weak. The man survived an absolutely hellish upbringing—abuse from his family, neglect, and being treated like he was nothing—and still came out on top. He may not be a sword-swinging warrior like Jude, but he’s got his own kind of strength. He’s clever, manipulative when he needs to be, and knows how to play the long game. Jude might be the strategist, but Cardan is the one who can pull people to his side with words alone.

And let’s talk about this ridiculous idea that “Cardan probably wouldn’t be able to pick up Jude.” I saw someone saying that under a fanart of Cardan carrying Jude. Like, have you read the books? He’s described as tall, lean, and fit. Just because he’s not a muscle-bound tank doesn’t mean he’s not strong. The man is Faerie, which means his physical abilities are likely leagues above a mortal anyway. Not to mention, we’ve seen him hold his own in fights when it comes down to it (he killed half an army)

Here are some paragraphs where he does in fact pick up Jude.

What bothers me the most is how some people ignore the layers to his character. He’s not dumb or helpless—he’s strategic and emotionally intelligent in ways that complement Jude’s tactical mind. He might not plan ambushes or train for battle, but he reads people better than almost anyone.

Honestly, the whole “Cardan is weak and silly” take feels like such a disservice to his character. He’s a survivor and a very complex character, a king who learned to wield his power in his own way, and yes, I fully believe he could (and would) sweep Jude off her feet—literally and metaphorically.

I just woke up and feeling controversial, so isn't it so funny that the tfota fandom is like:

about locke, dain, balekin: yeah I hate him but I can admit that's he's a good/important character! Also he's hot!

about taryn: she's an UGLY BITCH who can ROT in HELL and she's awful the WORST character in the series, did I mention that she's an UGLY CUNT?

Femenine rage is when fandom always talks about how traumatised mmcs are while ignoring fmcs traumas.

cardan, nervous to dance with jude: *smiles shyly*

jude, whose blatant hatred for him has blinded her beyond denial: WHAT ARE YOU SNARLING AT ME FOR YOU PIECE OF SHIT-

Cardan 🤝 Oak

[itsjustanan]

finished my reread of TWK and they make me giggle. what do you mean "my sweet villain my darling god" what do you mean her beauty is excruciating what do you mean he relaxed when he realized the girl attempting to smother him is jude what do you MEAN

[itsjustanan]

dude the fact that cardan sought jude out in that disaster of a coronation, literally drunk out of his mind and he was trying to save her (even though she hit him as soon as she saw him💀)

he really thought she was on his side until she turned on him and kidnapped him (though he was already willingly going with her), he was so confused my poor drunk little kitten 😩

he thought the girl he liked actually liked him back but she actually was planing his demise 😔❤️‍🩹

the fact that multiple times he thinks they are allies only to get the most rude awakening 😭

please let him live he’s literally just a baby !!!!

[itsjustanan]

I will never get over how Jude was sent by balekin to kill cardan and the moment he knew it was her he relaxed entirely and pulled her into the bed with him😭 and she goes he’s not suppose to relax like that? Girl he LOVES you!!!!

and then he caressed her cheek so softly?? These moments I die for

cardan getting tied to a chair by a hot girl and said hot girl being like "hmmm he has an interesting look on his face and is willingly letting me do all this wonder what that's about"

this is me i died

Jude and Cardan on a flower field. Cardan laying his head on Jude's lap. Jude makes a flower crown for him and puts it on his head. Cardan tilts the flower crown succeeding in making Jude laugh. The flowers bloom brighter all around them. That’s it, that's the post. Just happy and soft Jurdan.

I recently read the Once Upon a Broken Heart series and I absolutely fell in love with the magical and whimsy world, so much so that I had to commission an artwork of Jacks and Evangeline from @: hachandraws!

Hafsa’s artworks of EvaJacks are one of the reasons I wanted to pick up the books to begin with so it was non-negotiable that I had to work with her on this piece!

I hope you all love this piece of my fairytale couple, and here’s to their happily ever after!

Characters belong to @: stephanie_garber

Dropping this artwork that was recently featured in the Fairyloot February 2023 YA box! Another papercraft of Jacks and Evangeline from ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART by Stephanie Garber. The box was themed Morally Grey - so of course I went Morally PINK. This one was a bit more abstract than my previous OUABH papercrafts used for the reverse dust jackets of the FL editions. (looking back, it’s very Sailormoon-ish??) ����🌙 Lots of symbols from the series, but also a call-back to the Deck of Destiny from the Caraval series. Jacks is reaching out through The Prince of Hearts card, manifesting from a dark and starry form, to reach out to Evangeline. Like the previous IN THE LIVES OF PUPPETS papercraft, Jacks is sporting another instance of color shifts that I love to assemble! 🍎 I had a super fun time with Evangeline’s outfit here; the fox-inspired dark gloves and fluffy tail/train, the arrow motifs, and the very Stephanie-esque ballerina ensemble to tie it all together. I can’t get away from the vellum! 🦊 Fairyloot spoiled me with opting to use foil accents on their print, so I made sure to use a gold foil paper in the original papercraft as well! Just more EvaJacks, tiding me over until Curse. ;_; 👉👉👉💌💔
