this art of judecardan is just *chefs kiss* 💋

[graaaaaayy]

jude: don’t worry I’ve got a few knives up my sleeve.

taryn: I think you mean cards.

cardan: she does not.

jude, pulling out knives: I did not.

I'd like to think that Cardan gives thanks to lady luck everyday for his marriage towards Jude

Mr Cardan how did I get so lucky? Greenbriar

i can’t believe that “stabbity stab, knife wife” is an ACTUAL quote from the folk of the air series

Madoc/ Oriana parallel

something about oriana cutting liris womb open to salavge all that is left of the woman she loves and madoc cutting down eva and taking the twins to salvage what he had left of the woman he loves, is what makes me love orianas and madocs relationship so much.

the parallels between a loving friend, using a blade to honor her close friends last wish, to protect and save the child whom she then protects with her life and regards as her own child,

and a general’s bloodthirsty, vengeful nature, of which tends to spiral out of control, using his blade to defend his honor, and then caring for the children of his victims as though they are his own, are just so fucking beautiful.

I could’ve worded this better but i will say this now and forever, holly black, you are a fucking genius.

and i am waiting on that madoc/ oriana book pls 🙏🛐

(Emptying out my drafts bc i have 82 of them but most are unfinished)

cardan exiling jude after marrying her is equivalent to dobby putting harry's life in danger to save him from the heir of Slytherin

he's like: cardan is smart 😌☝🏻 cardan is marrying jude duarte making her the queen before exiling her 🤓 jude duarte is the QUEEN she can pardon HERSELF 🤭 and come back HOME 👉🏻🏡 cardan is doing this as a PRANK 😜

What I liked about HOW THE KING OF ELFHAME LEARNED TO HATE STORIES Was how it revealed that one of the things Cardan observed about Jude, was her presence. Her footprint made him contemplate how she could carelessly make the world acknowledge her existence by just existing. And compare it with his own invisibility. How he has to be loud and outrageous to be seen and she can just Walk. It is more complicated than that of course but

I loved that.

Someone asked me why I do I usually draw the woman in a ship more often than the guy. Well, because it takes me more brain power to draw male.
