Cardan: I need to talk to you about something.

Oak: I get it. You hate me. You’re going to have me killed. You’re going to lock me up. Beat me. Yell at me. I understand. You thought I was trying to kill you and take the throne, and I should’ve came to you and talked to you. I am so sorry please don’t hate me.

Cardan: …I don’t know about any of that but ANYWAY what I DO KNOW is that i knew your tricks before Jude did. I am LITERALLY so smart. Big brain. so big i need a bigger crown. i have never been so smart. jude is never living this down. GET WRECKED

There’s something so raw about the image of Cardan with his sleeves rolled up washing the blood off Jude’s hands, after he’s ruined his velvet jacket to stop her bleeding. It’s one of the moments where we clearly see how much he cares for her. He wouldn’t let the guards touch her, despite—from his perspective—not having any way of knowing she wasn’t there to kill him. On top of that, he declares to the palace crowd that Jude is the rightful Queen of Elfhame, who is not in exile, stunning everyone. And then later tells Jude that he had been terrified, not of her but for her.

“It was terrifying,” he says, “watching you fall.”

“Mortals are fragile,” I say. “Not you,” he says in a way that sounds a little like a lament. “You never break.”

Jurdan are wild because they may not have been able to verbalise what they felt for each other, nor even admit it to themselves, but it showed through their actions anyway.

#this was maybe the moment cardan really warmed up to me #and later jude’s like damn i hogged his bed this whole time crap #like guaranteed jude he was just scared he might lose you he didnt give one damn about u getting blood on his sheets #he was terrified for you he said as much! #ahhhhh #jurdan #jude duarte #cardan greenbriar #jude x cardan #the queen of nothing #the cruel prince #the queen of nothing spoilers #tfota #the cruel prince spoilers #AHHHHHHHH

Oak: *Murders like seven people*

Jude: :0

Jude: *slowly turns*

Jude: MADOC, how could you do this?!

When Cardan asked if Jude wanted their wedding to be more romantic and then he made flowers bloom above them when saying his vows! He’s just such a cutie

I am living for the parallels between Jude and Suren and how they each respond to Cardan/Oak being obviously in love with them.

They're both like "He hates me so much. Every nice thing he says is clearly a trick and he's trying to manipulate me. He looks at me like that because of how much he hates me."

Meanwhile Cardan and Oak are being the the most obvious simps in all of existence and the only ones who don't notice are the people they're simping for.

SPOILERS FOR THE PRISONER'S THRONE

The first thing that stuck out to me in TPT is Oak's official heir party. Cardan says,

"That Oak, son of Liriope and Dain of the Greenbriar line, is my heir, and should I pass from this world, he will rule in my place and with my blessing."

While Jude says,

"Oak, son of Liriope and Dain of the Greenbriar line, raised by Oriana and Madoc, my brother, is my heir, and when I pass from the world, he shall rule in my place and with my blessing."

These vows that highlight Jude's mortalilty is so sad. Cardan says that if he dies then Oak will rule while Jude says when she dies. Holly Black please don't let this be a Jude death foreshadowing 😭

[sweetvillainjude]

actually wild of holly black to write cardan’s arc so powerfully that I went from genuinely hating him and never believing I’d like him to thinking “ok so maybe he’s not awful ALL the time” to desperately rooting for him and furiously wanting him to be loved and happy over the span of three books. like tfota was WILD for doing that (and doing it so well)

#tfota #the cruel prince #cardan greenbriar #holly black #the wicked king #the queen of nothing #the cruel prince spoilers #no bec i’m not the most forgiving person and i was thinking uh oh in the first book bec i seriously DID NOT like him at all #i thought he was awful #and then by the wicked king i was like…..oh???? So he’s actually…..i actually….like him? he might be good in his cardan way? #and then by the end of qon i was just enamored #like that’s my man cardan and he deserves nothing but love and happiness #and he loves jude soooo much and she loves him and they’re everything. #tfota was just insane for that.

[fantasyfangirling4ever]

"The Folk adore Cardan, and they're terrified of my sister, two excellent things. I hope they rule Elfhame for a thousand years and then pass it down to one of a dozen offspring."

-Oak, just casually being one of us

[manikas-whims]

i love how Oak has a little of all his family members in him.

Etiquette and pragmatism from Oriana

Murder mode similar to Madoc's bloodthirst

Definitely Jude's anger

Vain, Charming, Flirtatious like Cardan

Playful like Vivi, Coy like Taryn

With a pinch of lovetalk from Liriope

And ofc, the Greenbriar bloodline from Dain
