[soc-ck]

Holly Black could have so easily fallen into the YA trap of pairing every teenage girl with a wise and mystical fae 8 times her age but no, Holly said here’s your mystical fae he’s like 19 years old and he’s dumb as shit

And now for some Folk of the Air fan art! Here’s a rough sketch of Cardan, looking cheeky as usual 🖤

[itsnotmika]

i honestly don’t think authors grasp the effect dark haired, morally grey characters have on their readers. like i mean they can literally kill a man and most of us will still be here like

Holly Black announces a Cardan novella!!

[judenightfell]

Can you imagine Cardan going to the mortal world and learning there’s a whole fucking song titled “Hey, Jude”

Would just be this for literally years:

[a-kerfuffle]

alone on the throne, both Jude & Cardan emulate the other

It’s hella sweet. Behold:

In Chapter 26 of The Wicked King, Cardan tried to do things as Jude would have when she was being kept in the Undersea.

Then, in Chapter 23 of The Queen of Nothing, Jude as Queen on her own unknowingly mimics Cardan’s voice and authority when addressing the Council.

Then a chapter later, she goes full Cardan when holding court on her makeshift throne with the uncomfortable cushion seating.

Good lord, my heart. These two will be formidable, insufferable, ADORABLE, regal-ass legendary rulers of Elfhame. /bow to them

one of my most fav part of the queen of nothing

is that hug. THE HUG. that mfing hug. Only the devil knows how long I've waited for this and how MUCH I wanted jude cardan to hug the hell out of each other. Yes ofcourse they've done alot more than hugging but they always brushed it off as attraction. But a hug? That's the softest.. no way you hug someone and say you did it to get them out of your system lol and we got it and I'm just—

because Jude REALLY said fuck everyone and everything and ran straight into cardan's arms. My girl followed her instinct and I'm so proud (all the more because entire elfhame witnessed it) like—

This is also the first and only hug my bby cardan ever got in the trilogy and it makes it all the more special my heart's in ruins.

I gave this book an extra star just for that hug hell yeah

PS - Hope they're cuddling as I type this 🤗

cardan: *stares at jude while he's being groped by two beautiful women*

cardan: *writes jude's name all over a piece of paper*

cardan: *interrupts jude's dance with a boy she's been having a fling with*

cardan: *gets kidnapped by jude and just kind of...lets her do it*

jude: THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT ME, STOP PLAYING AROUND

“Yes, my sweet villain, my darling god. I will be as sober as a stone carving, just as soon as I can.” And with that, he kisses me on the mouth.
