Jude and Cardan

"but have you read the classics?"

ive read the classics. (fantasy version)

When Cardan exiles Jude, I love how she is immediately spiraling and absolutely losing her mind (seriously how did she not start throwing knives), and Cardan is over here like “omg I hope my new wife thinks I’m clever.”

Cardan's letters to Jude <3

“Well,” he says, patting the couch beside him. “Didn’t you get my letters?” “What?” I am confused enough that the word comes out like a croak. “You never replied to a one,” he goes on. ” I began to wonder if you’d misplaced your ambition in the mortal world.”

below is a compilation of all the letters Cardan wrote to Jude during her exile and are only available in the B&N copies of Queen of Nothing.

I still cry over the fact that Jude never got to read these letters. I'll forever hate Lady Asha for burning these!! i mean these are so wholesome and they only made me love Cardan more! <3

#i know people have started criticizing the#‘men are afraid of getting laughed at women are afraid of getting killed’#but this is real?

Oh, yes.

A few years ago I went to pick up a woman I met on OKCupid for a date, and a friend of hers was there. They kind of over-explained “Oh, she just showed up to say hi” and there was a vague nervousness in the air that even my autistic ass was picking up on. Her friend was playing conspicuously with her phone. I went “Ah, the safety. Need to get a picture?”

Dead silence for about a second and a half, then the friend took a picture, looked at my date, and said “Have fun” and walked out the door.

(I would ordinarily have been clueless, but I’d just been asked to be the safety the previous night.)

My advice to male-presenting folks: recognize that this not your problem. By which I mean, this sort of security check isn’t a problem for you. It doesn’t hurt you. You aren’t being insulted or disrespected. And if you treat it like what it is– a reasonable adaptation to an unreasonable situation– and just roll with it, your dates will be more comfortable, and you will have a better time as a result.

The same applies to phone calls mid-date. Let them answer the damn phone without drama.

They aren’t accusing you of being a dangerous person. The very fact that they are willing to go on a goddamn date with you means that they have extended a certain level of trust. But the fact remains that there isn’t really a way to distinguish between “a man who isn’t dangerous” and “a man who knows how to behave like he’s not dangerous.”
