"Just because I'm bad," Madoc says with a grunt, "doesn't mean the advice is."

[clockworkbee]

Love how The Prisoner's Throne only goes on to prove this point 🤌🏼

Many jurdan fans are saying that cardan is the type of man to sit in the sidelines and cheer for Jude while she battles and kills people. I get the idea, but i believe that’s NOT true.

Cardan is the type of man to worry for Jude’s safety and fight ALONGSIDE her. He will literally JUMP into the battlefield with no hesitation to fight and defend his queen. We’ve seen him do it before in TFOTA!! Based on HTKOELTHS and TQON, we have witnessed Cardan make huge sacrifices to ensure Jude's safety. Cardan said it himself that he’s no killer!! those were his morals, but he broke them when Madoc’s guards took Jude away, and he killed a dozen of Madoc’s guards just for HER. In HTKOELTHS, Cardan went ahead to take down an enemy by himself because he feared Jude would sneak out and go alone to fight them. he cares for her so deeply and is willing to confront any danger on her behalf. Cardan knows Jude is strong, ambitious, and clever, but despite that, he still FEARS for her safety!! LIKE HELLO???! CARDAN WILL NOT SIT IN THE SIDELINES AND WATCH HIS WIFE FIGHT ALONE!!! HE WILL FIGHT ALONGSIDE HER!!! STOP OVERLOOKING THAT PART OF CARDAN PLEASEEEEE!!

When they propose marriage, and that's the response they get. My beloved boys 😭🤌🏼

Sleeping;

Feel like he's sometimes annoying when he sleeps

He's not like other book bfs where he's just clingy and cuddly,

No no, this man will probably be snoring one second and then a cute, little, cuddly, menace, the next

He'll snore sometimes, but softly (not too loud bc I can't have one of my fav fictional characters giving me the ick)

He'll just be sprawled across the bed, gripping your hand in his sleep, snoring softly, and just saying a bunch of shit that doesn't make sense (incoherent queen 😩🥺)

Poetic bastard;

Mr. "By you I am forever undone", has some tricks up his sleevessss

He'll randomly try to rizz you up with his Shakespearean ass vocabulary when you guys are finally in a established relationship

I can't think of anything poetic he might say so I'll leave it at that for now

So cute and demure in the human world;

He wouldn't really know what anything is when he visits,

So you'd definitely need to teach him,

But strangely enough he knows random ass shit like Lana deal Rey and Taylor Swift

He'd be like "Yeah, ig these mortals have tolerable music",

Meanwhile he blasts Red (Taylor's Version) at any minor inconvenience

Like ok, Mr. "Well maybe this thing was a masterpiece till you tore it all up"

Like yeah ok, Mr. "Perfectly fine" after you guys have a small ass disagreement and he's already halfway through Norman Fucking Rockwell

I love him.

These were random ass headcanons and I was gonna do spicy ones but idc bc it's almost 3 am

Let me know if I should do spicy headcanons bc I already have some creative ideas that include his tail...

"I would say that you lost yourself along the way, but you lost yourself far before that," the storm hag tells me as I pass her. "Wake up, little bird."

[clockworkbee]

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN 😍😍🥰🥰!!!

I can NOT wait to see him and Jude in TPT 🥺

The Prisoner’s Throne snippet from Holly Black:

“Have I ever told you how much you sound like Madoc when you talk about murder?” Cardan asks, opening one eye, “Because you do.”

MY MAIN MAN IS BACK *screams into oblivion*

[onemoreattempt]

The amount of times Cardan’s pointy boots were mentioned in The Prisoner’s Throne is absurd

[murasaki-cha]

Ok I'm going to say it I'll speak my truth

On would absolutely love reading The Folk Of The Air!

If I know my girl and I DO, she would devour those books. Jude would be her favorite character too. And she would love Cardan and the Bomb as her second favorites.

In a universe where she managed to read the books than I guarantee that she would just be beaming and going around all around the room while mumbling "Oh my god no way!" after finishing The Cruel Prince

When she reaches the end of The Wicked King, Cale would hear the most bone chilling, goosebump educing, rage filled "NO!!" ever screeched in the Super Rock villa. He flew to the room using SoW and just found On hitting the book with a pillow.

After she finishes The Queen of Nothing, On is caught staring out of a window longingly while hugging the book. She hasn't moved for 50 minutes now. Hong and Raon are getting concerned.

Ohn was found sobbing on a pillow halfway through How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories

She read The Stolen Heir duology in two days. Did not sleep a wink. Choi Han happened to pass by her at 3 am once and was genuinely terrified for the first time in his life by the intense look on On's face lit up by the night lamp.

I just absolutely know she would love these books with all her heart!

one of my favourite random things in any piece of media is Snakes 🐍 speaking with a "hiss" in every word they utter..😆

YOU FED MY SOUL 💗

The entire set of Folk of the Air/Stolen Heir fanart I did!

[stromuprisahat]

I've just realized Oak is a character everyone's pushing on the Throne, to power, but even though he doesn't want it, he's hardly passive or truly irresponsible. He wants to chase after his lady-love, but that doesn't mean he'll let others to fend for themselves. And eventually, he even accepts position of power to stay with his beloved.

It's just refreshing to watch a hero, who doesn't run and throw it all away for others- "better suited"- to take care of it.

Alina Starkov would never, and yes- I'm also still bitter about Elsa in second Frozen and that shit MCU pulled with Thor.

[certifiedfantasyreader]

I still haven't read The Stolen Heir. And i don't know how to feel about it

[clockworkbee]

as though letting something fall away

WHEN THEY LET DOWN THEIR ARMOR!!!

You know that trope of a very hardened strict mother-figure that is actually just an embarrassingly sweet mess in closed doors with the people she trusts? Yeah
