Jude and Cardan in the mortal world:

Jude:(getting arrested and searched)

Jude: Well how was I meant to know carrying an dagger is illegal?! What kind of woman doesn’t carry a dagger?!

Officer:(points at Cardan) You were holding it up to his throat.

Cardan: (shrugs) It’s fine officer, she was just flirting. It’s kind of our thing. Oh, there’s another in her boot.

Jude: CARDAN!!!

The fandom @ Taryn:

Cardan: I’m bored. My darling jude, would you like to tell me a joke?

Jude:

Jude: Democracy.

Cardan: ha! Good one.

*jude, on twitter*: i’ve been told i’m too negative and hostile towards taryn. so sis, if my tweets have offended you, i humbly apologize. i honestly didn’t think you could read. 

jude *rips open the shower curtain on taryn*: do you- stop screaming it’s me- do you know where my sword is? i left it at the dining table and now i’m concerned because madoc might’ve taken it away because i was being bad 

vivi, teaching jude to drive: so you’re driving, and oak and taryn walk into the road. quick! what do you hit? 

jude: taryn, definitely. i would never hurt oak. 

vivi, massaging her temples: the brakes, jude. you hit the brakes. 

taryn: treat spiders the way you want to be treated 

jude: killed without hesitation 

taryn: JUDE NO

In a way
I feel sorry for Taryn
I pity her
Yes, she’s a bitch but well look at this 

“When I’m with him, I feel like the hero of a story. Of my story. It’s when he’s not there that things don’t feel right.”

She has issues. I don’t sympathise with her, or empathise with her, or love her but she has issues which could’ve been fixed if she just talked to someone. She doesn’t want to be in control of her own life. She wants someone else to steer her along like a horse or something. She found Locke, Locke preyed on all her desires, made her need him. She was weak. It’s because she was weak that we don’t like her. Because she’s way too real. She reminds us of how horrible humanity can be- how weak it can be. She tells us that even your blood can do you bad. And it’s because our siblings are like Jude that we hate her. They trouble us, fight with us, but they’re fiercely loyal- something Taryn has never been to Jude. I’ll hate her forever but maybe I understand her. Maybe… she’ll get better. One day.

“All you have to do is give in,” he says. “Easy.”

I look over at my sister. It’s my fault she’s wet and scared. The river is cold, despite the heat of summer, the current strong. “And you’ll save Taryn, too?”

“Oh, so you’ll do what I say for her sake?” Cardan’s gaze is hungry, devouring. “Does that feel noble?” He pauses, and in that silence, all I hear is Taryn’s hitched breath. “Well, does it?”

Excerpt From: Holly Black. “The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air)”. Apple Books.

I open my mouth, but Taryn speaks before I can. “I’ll talk to her about it. It’s nothing, just a game.”

Nicasia gives my sister a magnanimous smile. Valerian leers at Taryn, his eyes lingering on her curves. “It’s all just a game.”

Excerpt From: Holly Black. “The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air)”. Apple Books.

Her nails sink into my skin.
“Don’t give them any more reason to bother you than they’ve already got!” The intensity of her response surprises me into snatching back my hand. Angry red half moons mark where she grabbed me.

Excerpt From: Holly Black. “The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air)”. Apple Books.

Locke’s gaze lifts. His tawny fox eyes meet mine and widen in surprise. I am immobilized, my heart speeding. I brace myself for more scorn, but then one corner of his mouth lifts. He winks, as if in acknowledgment of being caught out. As if we’re sharing a secret. As if he thinks I am not loathly, as though he does not find my mortality contagious.

“Stop staring at him,” Taryn demands.

Jude- ‘Cus I’m the queen of the castle, get down you dirty rascal.

Cardan - I think we can all agree I’m the ten amongst these threes

Vivi -  I look more rad than Lutheranism

Taryn -  Her or me, chum, don’t wanna be some girl in a threesome, are you blind?

The Bomb -  Not very prim and proper, can’t make me stop

Locke - Now I ain’t sayin’ I’m a gold digger, but check my prenup, and go figure  

Nicasia -  You know it isn’t true but I must say to you that I don’t need your love, no, no

Madoc -  When I get bored, I go to court

Oriana -  Have my golden rule got to keep my cool

Heather -   You’re just so full of sh-, must think that I’m naive

The Ghost -  I didn’t mean to hurt anyone

The Roach -  You’ll find that I’m unshakeable

Oak - Politics, not my thing

Orlagh -  A restless tide, untamable

Bonus;

Grima Mog -  I wanna go hunting, any takers?

Drunk Cardan

Cardan: To the guy who invented zero, thanks for nothing!!!

Jude:

Jude:Well….he’s not wrong?

When everyone thought Jude was trying to kill Cardan in QoN:

Cardan: Aww my wife still misses me! But at least her aim is starting to improve.

Summary: Jude gives birth. Cardan wears a baby carrier. They both happy cry. It is a good time.

Jude’s screams shook through the palace. Her labor had drawn in dark clouds over the kingdom, but it did not dim the excitement that felt almost tangible in the air.

At first Jude had tried to bite her lip through the painful contractions, but once she began to taste blood she could not help but yell through the pain. Cardan was beside her holding her hand through the process, looking equally terrified as he was fascinated, which only irritated Jude as she tried to listen to Tatterfell’s instructions on when to push and when to breathe.

She had only been pushing for an hour, but for Jude it felt like an eternity. At this point, she would have preferred to be sliced through again than to deal with the ongoing contractions.

“My Queen, one final push, I can see the child.” Tatterfell instructed.
