Air Faerie: Welcome to my very first vlog, in which I try different hair products! Air Faerie: *sprays hairspray in mouth* Air Faerie: Well, right off the bat I can tell you this one is not very good.

Locke saying this and getting killed by taryn is so funny lmao taryn said you're the problem and solved it by murdering him

I read somewhere that this was Cardans' first genuine hug and wtf why is there water leaking out of my eyeballs

This is so Jurdan coded

Kaye and Roiben having a quiet moment 🖤 The Unseelie king has a blood red bedchamber and you can’t change my mind. I’m re-reading The Modern Faerie Tales, and it’s still among my favourite-ever series (although I was low key offended when I read that Roiben later cut off his beautiful pewter hair!).

how dare cardan greenbriar casually drop a number like "yes, my sweet villain, my darling god" and kiss jude duarte on the mouth in front of basically the whole damn kingdom

cardan creating the loophole in jude’s exile that was probably extremely obvious to everyone present (except jude apparently)

[starwolf-and-marauders]

Cardan: I'm in love with you

Jude, scoffing: Do you really believe I'm gonna fall for that? I know you hate me

Cardan: ...

Cardan: Jude. I'm fae. I can't lie

Jude: I know. Do you think I'm stupid? It's just a way you manipulate the truth as always

Cardan: I-...

Dark Faerie: I like your nails! Air Faerie: Thanks! I was born with them! Dark Faerie: I was talking about your nail polish…

Holly Black's fairy universe is so rich, expansive, and solid that one can have some certainty about the nature of her fey without it being affirmed all the time.

For example, one thing that seems clear is that fairies feel, and they feel intensely. If they hate, they can hate for centuries. If they love, they will love eternally and be willing to give their life for their beloved. In "The Darkest Part of the Forest," this is told as a horror story. In "Modern Faerie Tales," Kaye's entire adventure is based on her desire to become Roiben's consort.

In "The Cruel Prince" trilogy, Balekin hints at this difference when he talks strangely about how humans love — this is all without mentioning Tiernan and Hyacinthe, who became enemies and still love each other enough to fight for each other, or Lady Nore with her late husband's hands around her neck.

We see this firsthand with Cardan not once, but twice! The first time occurs when he throws himself in front of Jude to save her from being hit by one of Grimsen's traps, and the second time is when, similarly, Cardan throws himself in front of Jude to save her from having a blade buried in her body.

The first time, he shows surprise with himself. It was the moment he realized he loved her on that level — in fact, he just loves her as is natural to his species. The second time, any surprise seems to have vanished, as if he had already accepted that he would do it for her a thousand more times if necessary.

That is, the fairies indeed love as described in the poems, and that is simply fantastic on the part of the author because, let's face it, it makes perfect sense considering the aesthetic of the fairies and everything else. Yes, all of this is about how much I love Holly Black and her skill in creating such wonderfully subtle wonder-filled settings ✨✨
