“Why does anyone want anyone else? [...] We do not love because people deserve it - nor would I want to be loved because I was the most deserving of some list of candidates. I want to be loved for my worst self as well as my best. I want to be forgiven my flaws.”

Guys, as many parallels we try to see between Wren and Jude, ultimately it is Wren and Cardan who are parallel characters.
Being unloved your entire life? Thinking that you don't matter and living on the edge, whether that edge is perpetual drunkeness or wilderness habitation? Having a mother whom you hate, who believes she can control you? Being betrayed by the person who promised you freedom? Hating them for betraying you because acknowledging that you love them is the most painful thing you can think of? Having power that might make you even more of a monster even though you never wanted it? Becoming monarch because you know that it is your destiny, even if it is a destiny you don't want?
Wren and Cardan are the true contemporaries, two monarchs sentenced to doom.

I found these photos on Holly Black's Pinterest board for The Cruel Prince quite early on in it. And I remembered how when Jude's hair horns are first mentioned they are described as ram horns- these are so cool!

Wren/Oak just might be the best Holly Black ship. Miss HB has outdone herself. The drama. The yearning. The absolute unhinged insanity. The teeth. I want to wrap them in bubble wrap and tuck them in a plastic container with the Christmas decorations. They’re perfect. They’re so flawed I want to die.

I'm gonna get a lot of hate but I'm gonna say it. Those of yall who keep talking about " I don't give two shits about Oak or Wren or Nicasia, I demand that Holly write Jude getting impregnated by Cardan and write nothing else " are giving me the same vibe as the people who hate Rapunzel's haircut at the end of Tangled. And that's not a compliment, I want and need you to take it as the insult it is.

You can love a character & still admit when they’re wrong. I love Wren but I acknowledge her flaws (none, she’s perfect) and I can hold her accountable for her wrongdoings (she’s never done anything wrong in her life) and call her out on her actions (which are always right).

OMG WREN GOT WINGS AAHDDGDHHFJGJGJJGJGJJGJFJJJFJFHHFJJFJFF
Now she really is like the wren bird, this is soo fucking cool. Also, magical girl transformations are literally one of my favourite tropes.
Wren really was like:
✨️✨️Eeeenchaaaantiiiix, ooOoooOooOohhhh, ENCHANTIX✨️✨️ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But also, in reality:
Bex
Wren
✨️Be not afraid✨️
*although honestly, if I witnessed Wren's flesh ripping and a winged creature emerging from it, I would be screaming in horror too, so Bex I feel you 💀💀💀*
