If this picture ain’t them I don’t know what is. They SERVE OK

I can’t stop thinking about how when Cardan wanted to talk to Jude about the first time they got intimate and she quickly replies she just wanted to get it out of her system, Cardan asks her “Did you? Get it out of your system?”

But what he meant was “Did you get ME out of your system, because I can’t get you out of mine nor do I want to. I only fell in deeper.”

Her reply about wanting to just get it out of her system hurt him.

When he had said “This is a terrible idea.” as he was kissing her and taking of his shirt, he didnt mean terrible as in things are gonna get weird and akward between them. He meant this was going to rattle him to the bones. This was going to make him fall in deeper for her. This was a terrible idea for him because he knew she didnt reciprocate his feelings and HE was vulnerable and going to end up hurt. It was a terrible idea for HIM.

Cardan: Are you flirting with me?

Jude: My dagger is against your throat, Greenbriar

Cardan: That’s why I asked

cardan just wanted love. 😐

i was just replying to someone regarding nicasia and i had this sorta realization moment abt cardan lol

Cardan is consistently merciful toward people that wrong him. To his abusers.

He spares his mother when she leaves the tower of forgetting. He gives her a courtier title. After her lifelong abuse. he spares balekin from execution time and time again, despite all the death threats and beatings and humiliation. he forgives nicasia and Locke and remains (sorta) friends with them after they screwed around behind his back and broke his heart. He forgives Jude for putting him on the throne, for killing balekin.

Cardan has the capacity to be a lot kinder to those he cares about. While he attempts to act like he has a stone heart, he cares so deeply about the few people around him. No matter how they treat him in return.

Even his sisters, whom treated him like a dog when he was a child, throwing food at him under the table. He held balekin responsible for killing them, even when they had little love for him.

and his father, whom tossed him out of the kingdom for dains lies. He still strove for his fathers love and attention. And he did what he thought he needed to do to get that attention.

All he wanted was love, and he gave a lot more of it than he wanted to show. I’m so glad he found it w Jude 😭

And with Jude, he gave her everything. He gave her half of his army bro. HALF OF HIS ARMY just because she ASKED. She didn’t even have to order him to do it, because he trusts her and he so badly wants her to trust him too.

He secretly desired (and eventually cared for) her for yearsss. It’s so sweet how they went from school rivals besting and beating one another, to them making each other king and queen. ENOUGH

moral of the story, he just wanted LOVE. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’ll never stop thinking about them, idc how generic and obvious my posts are, every throwaway thought i have of them i will post

I honestly loved seeing Jude and Cardan ten years later from Oak's perspective in Stolen Heir and Prisoner's Throne.

Cause like, they're still the same people, but they're also more mature and less impulsive and crazy.

For example, we see that scene where Jude and Cardan are in their room discussing things quietly, and I feel like CP to QoN them never would've.

But they're still foundationally the same, as in Jude's solution to everything is still murder, and Cardan is still a little more lighthearted.

Also, the quote that's like "She's [Jude] gonna wear your skull as a hat, and Cardan's gonna laugh and laugh when she does" described them so perfectly.

Painting practice of the day ft. Jude and Cardan 🥺♥️

[intairnwetrust]

Cardan: I love my scary wife privileges, it makes life so easy

*Jude threatens someone with a sword*

Cardan: Isn't she beautiful?

[mostly-delusional]

Cardan: Jude:

[tothestarsinvelaris]

The fact that Cardan falls for Jude because she's human. and because she's fierce and badass and determined and will absolutely never back down from something that she believes in. and she is still loved despite those things and because of those things.

and Cardan is just so damn jealous of it but he admires it so much he can't help but notice her and all the silly little things about her, like her round ears and the way she bites her lip when she's thinking hard.

Jude: I just want to hear those three little words.

Cardan (sighing): I will behave.
