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

“I flattered myself that at moments you had feelings for me other than contempt, but even were that true, they would be but watered wine beside the feast of your other, greater desires.

And yet my heart is buried with you in the strange soil of the mortal world, as it was drowned with you in the cold waters of the Undersea.

It was yours before I could admit it, and yours it shall ever remain.”

Truly how am I supposed to go on after this

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORIGINAL MARCELINE OF THE WINTER KING'S UNIVERSE!? 😨

Is the implication that Ice King took her out with all of the other oozers or did the oozers end up killing her?? Either way, it seems that this Simon was not coping well with any of what was going on in his life. Living a life of hypocrisy & ruling a false kingdom.

#is the implication that Ice King took her out with all of the other mutated people? #or did the mutated people end up taking her out? #right as he was talking about making an ice Betty as being 'unethical;' but he had ice Marceline hidden away in his castle #there was nothing ethical about the Winter King's methods; though I'm curious about how he learned to cast a spell to project the madness #of the crown specifically onto this universe's PB?? I wanna know more about that & I wonder if a similar method will be how Fionna & Cake's #reality gets saved?

The opening monologue is done by Kyoshi.

I dislike this move because we now see the war from the avatar's perspective and not the people who have had to live it these past 100 years.... showing it to us through Katara let's us immediately empathize with her and Sokka.

Kyoshi is also two avatars back? Why not have Roku do the opening then since he is tied to the issue.

Jude Duarte is first her MOTHER’S daughter, then Madoc’s

People always say Jude’s personality is a copy paste of Madoc, which to some degree is true. He raised her as a father and very much shaped her. But she was like that before too… just like her mother.

In TWK we get the snippet of Jude taking the training wheels off her bike and getting all bruised up while Taryn stuck to the side walks. And then in TCP we get Madoc’s short description of her mother as being clever and brave and unafraid if the face of Faerie.

She burned down the General’s house with a mother and unborn baby inside so she could get away. To protect the people she loved, Jude would have too.

So yes, Jude was polished by Madoc, but she was shaped first by Eva Duarte.

when he says “ily” but cardan once said “It was like being trapped in the dark. I was perhaps not entirely an animal, but neither was I myself. I could not reason. There were only feelings—hatred and terror and the desire to destroy. And you. I knew little else, but I always knew you.”

#I KNEW LITTLE ELSE BUT I ALWAYS KNEW YOU #💔💔💔💔 #sigh #its rough out here #and i could do this for SO many cardan quotes too #jurdan #jude x cardan #cardan greenbriar #the queen of nothing #tfota #the cruel prince #the queen of nothing spoilers

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 😭

Ok but Blitzø actually beat the literal party girl Queen of Gluttony at her own game...

What a madlad, you gotta respect that power.

[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

"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

"It would be safer if I hated him. Since I cannot, perhaps it is good that he now hates me."
