Someone said, “The reason you isolate when you’re struggling is because you were left alone as a child to deal with your emotions” and I felt that.

rereading the cruel prince and i forgot that cardan's nervous habit is smiling.

jude always notes he's smirking/smiling around her.

jude makes him nervous.

tell me thats not literally the best thing you've heard all day

[fatedophelias]

I missed his dramatic self.

Also, they love each other so much it's sickening

Jude:

Cardan: That one. The one who looks like she wants to kill me. Jude. I want her.

cardan’s letters to jude in a nutshell

That’s a waste of pap— that’s a waste of grief, begging, love and I quote, “indiscreet promises”

the “I expect you to come back now that everything is settled” letter

lol the “I want you to come back but I don’t want to say it so just come be angry at me closer” letter

The second half part though- 😭. the “just come home I don’t care what you do to me but just COME BAAAACK” letter

Cardan be like: tf does this queen think she is not responding to my letters, AKA the “YOU HAVE NEVER DONE MORE OF A SIN THAN THIS JUDE DUARTE” letter

Also cardan: yeah I’m doing something wrong, how about I address this to The High Queen of Elfhame, ha this will definitely work AKA the most heartfelt, poetic and longest letter

At this point cardan just gave up and started doing what he does best: writing Jude’s name in an angry, passionate and grieving fashion. This is called the, “ I give up you win” letter.

the “I give up, you win” letter, pleaseee 😭

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

[janescrazy]

when cardan complains about people remembering him as a snake and how he could’ve always sat on a dark throne biting people who annoyed him had me blushing because jude sat next to snake cardan for a whole day. he even slept with her there. he’s admitting jude doesn’t and has never annoyed him. why am i so obsessed with them
