Just finished a reread of TFOTA and this quote from Locke (of all people) stuck out to me.
"Do you love me enough to give me up? Do you love me enough to weep over me?"Jude finds the questions off putting and odd, which I don't blame her.
Flash forward to QoN: *Jude, willing to cut off snake Cardans head, not knowing what would happen, but knowing it would break her*
When she truly loved someone, she was willing to give them up, and weep over them.

Something that I love about Jude and Cardan is they actually raise hell for each other. In other books, characters will often make these grand declarations of love and say things like 'i would burn the world for you' or destroy everything for you or whatever, but with Jurdan, they don't rlly say stuff like that to each other, they just do it. Like Cardan signing off a peace treaty allowing the undersea to attack the land and risk war to get Jude back, going against his morals and killing Madoc's guards when they were taking her, or Jude letting Snardan poison the land as long as possible because she was searching for a way to bring him back.

A few things that definitely happened post Queen of Nothing
Jude decides to personally train Cardan in sword fighting because he needs to defend himself. Even if he refuses to kill, his skills (or lack thereof) are a vulnerability they can't afford
Jude is surprised to learn that Cardan is an adequate fighter when Balekin isn't torturing him into it.
He does however, win several fights by kissing Jude in the middle of sparring. She insists it's cheating, he insists "all is fair in love and war"
Cardan and Jude visit Vivi in the mortal world and he lets Heather paint his nails hot pink
He beats Jude in a game of Tekken and she's a sore loser about it
He learns to braid her hair from Tatterfell and insists he can do it better than her now. Tatterfell is mildly annoyed but amused at the same time that the king of elfhame is interested in braiding his wife's hair
He tries his best to be there for Oak. He knows what it's like to grow up with an absentee father so tries his best to be what Balekin never was for him.
That's all I can think of for now

Since cardan cannot lie, when he calls Jude his darling god, he truely believes her to be his, and he sees her as a god

Cardan and Jacks falling in love with the mortal girls whom once they thought silly in front of immortals is the best mortal x immortal love stories.
Jurdan & Evajacks hook ups are so passionate , their opinion differences couldn't even be able to control them from touching each other.

madoc is her parent's murderer. he is her father. he was a monster of her nightmares. he taught her how to protect herself. one of his guards bit off the tip of her finger. he was closer to jude than his only biological child. she was his daughter. he never meant for her to see his murders. he would've crowned her a princess of the realm. she poisoned him for another king. he was ready to go to war to get her back from the undersea. he betrayed her with the help of her twin. he laid siege on the palace to get taryn her back. he nearly murdered her in the snow. she knew he never meant to play the killing blow. he would've taken her throne. she exiled him to the mortal realm. she granted him a mercy.

I suddenly thought of this line from The Stolen Heir, where Oak says that the Folk adore Cardan and are terrified of Jude. This is exactly what Jude and Cardan had wished for years ago— Cardan always wanted to be loved and accepted, and Jude always wanted to be respected and feared, not live in fear.
The fact that they finally have this and so much more now is 🫶🏻🥹

cardan !!!! i know the first sketches i did were appreciated so i decided to make more. hope you like it 🫶🏻
it’s really hard to draw a character coming from a book, but i think i’m on the right track bc he looks more and more like how i pictured him when reading.
character belongs to Holly Black.

I just reread the scene where Cardan was poisoned. And I have a feeling that the kiss wasn't spontaneous or him just being like pretty Jude must kiss.
Cardan has been drinking for a while now, he knows his limits and what it takes to actually get him drunk. I think that after getting poisoned he knew something was wrong and he knew that Jude would know what to do and it's the only way he could think of to clearly tell her this isn't normal especially when she was telling him to sober up.
Idk that's what I'm feeling

Jurdan after having kids
Jude: *Sees Cardan nodding at something Lady Asha is telling him while holding Jurdan baby* Jude, to the audience: Whenever Lady Asha tries to give Cardan parenting advice, he just does the opposite. It has worked out pretty well so far.
