The cruel prince, chapter 20, dance scene: a small comic 🧚🏻‍♂️

[xcruelprincessx]

RIGHT?!? For some lame ass foxy guy?!???

My mind can't wrap around the fact Nicasia cheated on Cardan with LOCKE. Like she's so stupid I'm convinced she really does have the brain of a fish 🐟

IMAGINE HAVING CARDAN FUCKING GREENBRIAR AND CHEATING ON HIM 😭

[thejudeduarte]

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

[viivdle]

"but she kidnapped you!"

cardan:

"but he tried to drown you!"

jude:

[myhyperfixationisbooks]

Vivi: Jude, what are you planning?

Jude: It’s simple, really. I’m just going to go in, tell the truth, lie if I have to, and punch someone if it gets awkward.

[murasaki-cha]

All I'm saying is that maybe, JUST MAYBE, we should poison Cardan again once in a while if he'll give us absolute bangers like "Yes, my sweet villain, my darling god." and "Sweet Jude. You are my dearest punishment."

Like just a little bit.

[honeyxwildfire]

Taryn: Where’s Cardan??

Jude: He’s probably upstairs combing his hair so he’ll be the prettiest faerie at the party.

*upstairs*

Cardan: *combing his hair* I’m going to be the prettiest faerie at the party.

don’t remind me of him handing over half his army 😭😭😭😭 him telling Jude that he wanted to show her that she didn’t have to order him around for her to trust him uuooughhhh I love him so much !!!! my heart is so full for him

the way his heart remained soft despite everything. he was always searching for something to love him back and for a place to belong ;;;; that is my KING OF ELFHAME

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

[ghosttownheart]

I have only just started The Cruel Prince and I already dislike Taryn.

Like please FUCK OFF-

Jude finds ONE THING that brings her happiness in the last 16 chapters of this godforsaken book, and Taryn couldn’t rip it away from her faster.

Go crawl in a hole and stay there. Please for the love of god.

[cardanapologist]

jude takes oak trick or treating in the mortal world and cardan tags along in a knight costume. if he returns from a door with only two pieces of candy, he mutters, "cheap ass" under his breath and asks jude if he can put a curse on them

WELCOME TO

HOLLOW HALL🖤⛓️

This is very much how I imagined it the entire time

[knifedippedinichor]

The Cruel Prince - Jude and Cardan:

Strong feelings

[green-briar]

Cardan: IVE LOST MY WIFE

Cardan: HAVE YOU SEEN HER

Person: What does she look like?

Cardan, crying: BEAUTIFUL

[thereviewverdict]

the feminine urge to persistently talk about aaron warner and cardan greenbriar

[viivdle]

everyone when taryn is mentioned:
