Jude: *OMG the Land accepted me as Queen!* The Land: Girl! One, you married the King. Two, I sent you a White Stag about 45 chapters ago. Were you paying no attention?

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

It's crazy to think that Jude was Madoc's favorite because she was the most like him.

and she stopped being his favorite because she was the most like him.

They were too similar, bound to clash.

The fact that exchange of rings during marriage isn't a tradition in faerie but Cardan still knew of it and did it with Jude 😭😭✋ the bastard had his research done just in case

Also probably had it planned in his mind when he took Jude's ring days ago... I love this cheeky bastard 😭😭

I CANNOT take cardan seriously after that scene in twk when he was poisoned and picked up the lute and started playing 💀

thinking about how cardan stole jude’s ring by kissing the back of her hand.

how he stole it only to wear it himself, keeping it on him at all times.

how the only reason he gave it back to her, was so that she could wear it as his wife.

i’m a puddle on the floor

Sometimes, Jude will let herself cry into Cardan’s shoulder, let herself be held in his arms, let his hand stop the shaking of her own. She will let him whisper “I’m here” and “I love you” into her ear and let him kiss her tears away. It happens rarely, but when she lets her thoughts spindle out of control (again, rarely) she will think of those three horrible days that Cardan was gone. Those three horrible days that she thought he was gone forever despite what she had been telling herself. She thought about how those three horrible days could have turned into three horrible weeks, months, years. And so she lets herself sink into his warmth and remind herself that he is here, and he loves her, and he’s real. And she prays to a god she didn’t and still doesn’t believe in that it isn’t a dream.

just finished my reread of TFOTA and now i plan to start the Stolen Heir and Prisoners Throne, oaks duology!

since its release, i have been very skeptical about reading the spin off novels as i was very content and happy with the ending of the main trilogy.

but……. recently i’ve been seeing so many quotes from the new series and it has made me miss the characters so much that i think im going to give it a go! (especially for the jude and carden content🥹)

this beautiful artwork is by @honeyypears on instagram :)

sweet jude, you are my dearest punishment

just finished this piece that took so. fckn. long. btw did i mention my commissions are open? 😼

No one:

Not a single soul:

Cardan to Jude:

cardan: *drunkenly pointing to jude* give it up for my gf everybody!

jude: I'm your wife.

cardan: *ecstatic* WHAT?? WOAH, EVEN BETTER THEN!!!

the Bomb: I can't believe you and Jude broke the bed last night.

the Roach: Yeah, what were you even doing?

Cardan: um....

*last night*

Jude: Bet you can't jump high enough to touch the ceiling.

Cardan: Try me

cardan, about Jude in The Queen of Nothing: oops, sorry that's my wife, Jude, yeah Jude Duarte? that's my wife actually, did i forget to mention she's my wife? oh before you forget shes my wife, oh yah actually you know what's interesting she's my wife, oh are you drinking water? you know who else drinks water? my wife, Jude Duarte yeah sorry that my wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wife wi-

I actually adore the thought of Cardan and Jude’s everyday life. Like that “I pretend like I hate you, but you know I love you” type of banter, is EVERYTHING. Like he’s so obsessed with her, and everything she does. Jude could kill someone (she has, multiple) and he’d still adore her. I do like how his first instinct isn’t murder though, when compared to hers. They balance each other so well. I find myself thinking about them often, and that’s when you know it’s a good book. When I went into that first book, I did not expect it to become so beloved among my collection.

“Mock me all you like. Whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips." His eyes are black with desire. "By you, I am forever undone.”

—The Queen Of Nothing
