#Jude and Cardan 😭😭😭😭

Golden hour ✨🧡🍂🧚 #jurdan

Unfriendly reminder that Jude wanted to win her place in Elfhame instead of marrying her way into it because of her own mother’s disastrous marriage only to end up marrying after all, with a prince no less, and being exiled the very next day.

Cardan getting over his drinking and drug addiction from the first book into just drinking moderately in the last book is possibly one of the greatest "show and tell" examples in tfota.

Is noone gonna talk about the fact that in tcp, in that scene where Jude gets poisoned by the faerie fruit, they see 7 shooting stars and Jude describes that at as dozen deaths. I haven't heard anyone mention that that could have been foreshadowing what was to come later during the coronation as 6 Fae died then (Elowyn, Eldred, Dain, Rhyia, Caelia and Taniot) and also Valerian earlier on which makes 7 deaths like prophecied.

I thought it was really clever, nothing a reader would have really paid attention too.

"Cardan looks taken aback. Or possibly I spoke so fast he's not even sure what I said. 'You need not say it out of pity,' he says finally, with great deliberateness. 'Or because I was under a curse. I have asked you to lie to me in the past, in this very room, but I would beg you not to lie now.'"

- Cardan Greenbriar, The Queen of Nothing

Did anyone else get this little hint?

The quotes are referring to Jude's childhood stuffed animals, a cat and a snake. THE SNAKE IS CARDAN.

AND THEN GUESS WHAT

The snake that doesn't want to be left behind 😭

When someone criticizes a book or character that I love:

[sweetvillainjude]

The way half the main characters in the cruel prince were at some point attracted to Jude is wild but SO girlboss of her. Like Locke had actual feelings for her, Valerian was lusting over her, I suspect that The Ghost did too for a time, and I don’t even need to say Cardan who was actually disgusted by how often he thought of her back when they had the enemies thing going on. Like no wonder she pissed them off, my girl Jude was KILLING it

[xcruelprincessx]

Cardan's childhood would never fail to make me cry my eyes out 😭
