#Jude tfota

[court-of-secrets]

See, I get the whole Jude is the dom argument because of how strong and scheming and power hungry she is, but that is EXACTLY why Cardan doms, and stay with me on this, Jude spends every single second of her life on high alert, I guarantee you she wants nothing more than to relax and let someone else take control and Cardan would do anything for his wife

[mia-nina-lilly]

I could make a list of the cutest things involving Jurdan, and I'd start by saying the obvious: Jude wearing Cardan's clothes even relegating them to the space of complete extravagance is very cute

[weebssecretattic]

WDYM HE LITERALLY INFILTRATES HIS ENEMIES CAMP TO GET HER?!? I literally wanna scream cuz THIS IS SO CUTE!!!

ENOUGH JURDAN. I'M SICK OF THEM

All right, I'm just going to say it upfront-

I am SICK of Jurdan.

There. There you go.

No, I don't HATE it. It's a very interesting ship, but I'm SICK of seeing SO MANY posts about it on tumblr when I simply want to see JUDE or TARYN or even VIVIENNE by themselves, NOT JURDAN.

It's just, everyone makes a big deal of Jurdan when the series isn't about that-their love story doesn't even start until the second book. And even then, the political plot overshadows it, and honestly, TFOTA isn't a romantasy-it's a political series with the romance as a minor subplot. Hell, Jude isn't even as obsessed with Cardan as much as people say she is. She thinks about other people too.

And it's annoying. Jurdan fans want MORE AND MORE from Holly Black when they already have three whole damn books of Jurdan tension and angst. Goddamn, let the rest of us enjoy TFOTA and the sequel series without Jurdan being shoved down our throats.

And, also, YOU HAVE FANON JURDAN.

AO3. TUMBLR. WATTPAD. FANFICTION SITES. SO. MUCH. JURDAN. SO MANY JURDAN STORIES. BRILLIANT WRITERS. AMAZING PLOTS AND TENSION. ALL OF THEM. SO GO EAT UP YOUR JURDAN THERE!

I really want to see more of some minor characters like Vivienne, Grima Mog, Madoc, Oriana, Eva Duarte, Justin Duarte-and many more. (Maybe even a combo)

Seriously……I don't hate Jurdan, but I've had enough of it. Simple.

You're probably wondering what the final straw was.

Well, I wanted some angst. Not. bloody. Jurdan angst. Just angst for Jude, Taryn, Vivienne, Madoc, Oriana. I wanted to see Jude and Vivienne angst, or Vivienne and Madoc angst (I'M STARVING FOR THIS) or Vivienne and Oriana angst, or Jude and Taryn angst.

I don't hate Jurdan angst either, but there's a point where you're too full to keep going on, and I'm far beyond that point.

Sigh………goodbye for now. I like Jurdan at some points, but now it's getting too much.

And honestly, I don't hate them-I'm really sorry if it came across as a hate post. I swear I don't hate them, I'm just kind of tired.

It would also be cool if writers could write about some others characters-I myself can only write so much, and I don't always want to read MY writing alone. Thanks for reading this. Feel free to leave comments of any kind.

These letters make me wanna curl up in a ball and bawl my eyes out thinking how Jude never got to read them

cardan’s letters to jude in a nutshell

That’s a waste of pap— that’s a waste of grief, begging, love and I quote, “indiscreet promises”

the “I expect you to come back now that everything is settled” letter

lol the “I want you to come back but I don’t want to say it so just come be angry at me closer” letter

The second half part though- 😭. the “just come home I don’t care what you do to me but just COME BAAAACK” letter

Cardan be like: tf does this queen think she is not responding to my letters, AKA the “YOU HAVE NEVER DONE MORE OF A SIN THAN THIS JUDE DUARTE” letter

Also cardan: yeah I’m doing something wrong, how about I address this to The High Queen of Elfhame, ha this will definitely work AKA the most heartfelt, poetic and longest letter

At this point cardan just gave up and started doing what he does best: writing Jude’s name in an angry, passionate and grieving fashion. This is called the, “ I give up you win” letter.

If Jurdan has a child, I hope it has a tail and horns.

I don't know how magic works, but it would be interesting if the characteristics that Jude insists on representing somehow passed on to her child.

I hope Jude constantly checks the tail to see if the child is "lying", I hope Cardan urges her not to mostly for his own sake.

[weebssecretattic]

HE CAN'T LIE!!!!

my loves <3

damn spotify wrapped really called me out this year…😒😔✋

cardan: *does the most pathetically trophy wife thing*

fandom: awww what a cinnamon roll

jude: *murders someone in the most gruesome morally unjust way.*

fandom: get it girl!!!!!

taryn: *breaths*

fandom: that little bitch-

[cynicalclairvoyantcadaver]

We know that Vivienne, Jude and Taryn left when they were 10 years old-about the same time that Madoc courted and married Oriana.

Do you think that they left home because of this very reason? It's canon that they were worried about it, because Madoc might send them away, so it's a real possibility.

I wonder how he reacted when they ran away and then came back.

EXACTLY!! not to mention valarian literally broke into her room and was on top of her about to stab her when she woke up. He deserved what was coming??? And at the last moment Jude even tried to help him cuz she instantly regretted the fatal blow.

jude after killing valerian because she's not actually a blood-thirsty killer and she was just a girl and horrified
