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*

The fact that Jude has a stuffed Cat and a snake from her childhood and the fact that Cardan has repeatedly been compared to a cat, has been fed a cat's milk and then later turns into a whole ass snake himself...

i know we’ve talked about how cardan’s garbage morals look better in comparison to the absolute ferocity of jude throughout the books
but can we talk about how his family was so abusive and shitty that he looked at jude’s family--
--which consisted of two dead parents, their murderer who raised their daughters, his daughter who hates him, the world’s worst sister, oriana, and a little goblin of a brother who is technically cardan’s nephew--
--and went “a family 🥰🥹😌💕💓”

"But every night, Jude haunted him. The coils of her hair. The calluses on her fingers. An absent bite of her lip. It was too much, the way he thought about her. He knew it was too much, but he couldn't stop."
My version of Rovina's illustration from chapter V of How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories (I think Jude with freckles is cute 🥺)
