okay but there is nothing as brutally honest and unapologetically heartbreaking as "Closer" by Patrick Marber: "I love everything about you that hurts" , "Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist covered in blood!" , "I think you owe me something for deceiving me so exquisitely" , "What's so great about the truth? Try lying for a change, it's the currency of the world" , -"You ruined my life" -"You'll get over it".

PURE. DEVASTATING. MASTERPIECE

Which one of you smart ones can explain/clarify what Cardan meant by this

[duarteegreenbriar]

I’ve too always wondered what exactly he meant by this 🫣

i always thought he meant that they shouldve put everything on the table and been honest with each other from the beginning, but like. saying it knowing that neither of them would ever be that vulnerable.

These tags, good gawd.

To add onto this, he gives her this “steady” look (imagine him just staring at her, not looking away, unbreakable in that gaze) after they’ve finally done something more intimate than kissing. It’s like, he realizes a lot in this moment about who they possibly could have been if they hadn’t been at each others throats. During his proposal, he even admits “faerie suffered when we were at each others throats” and uses that as a selling point to get her to marry him. However, he’s saying it here specifically after sex. Which says a lot, and this is a pretty vulnerable moment for him (imo) in terms of what he’s unintentionally revealing in the timing of saying this.

A truce is an agreement between enemies to stop fighting — and all they have been doing is fighting each other. Undermining, betraying, backstabbing, one-upping, etc etc. A lot of these were games to hold the other at arms length, but I think in this moment Cardan starts to see how similar they are and how well they work together. Especially after she’s played along with the “I hate you” litany, which Jude herself admits was protection against what she really felt. To me, it’s a round-about admission of how good their little tryst felt to him, and he’s frustrated that they’ve been at each others throats when this could have been the alternative had they called a truce.

I also think it’s multi-layered, like so many things in this series. Because, right before they start banging, he’s confronting her about the letter from Balekin and asking why he’s suddenly allowed to see it. I believe he’s also realized at that moment that she can only do so much by herself, from the position of seneschal, without him truly helping her instead of avoiding responsibility.

So, yeah. Their truce could have benefited them in more ways than one, but especially in the fun way 😜 not just the political way.
