“Instead of being afraid, I could become something to fear.”

just thinking about how "jude, you can’t really think i don’t know it’s you. i knew you from the moment you walked into the brugh." doesn't have to be specifically about jude taking taryn's place at the trial and cardan realising her disguise, it's also about the moment jude walked into the brugh for the first time when she was seven and every time after. he knew her.

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.

imagine being someone at new rome university and not knowing percy is the same guy as “percy jackson, son of poseidon, two-time hero of olympus, former praetor” because the thought doesn’t even cross your mind. like… he’s percy. he’s a total frat boy. on a normal night, he walks into a party, refers to everyone as bro or dude, socializes with every living (and not-living) person in the room, makes at least 50 sarcastic comments, plays 12 rounds of beer pong, drinks way too much, and then skates around campus on his skateboard yelling “I LOVE NEW YORK” (which makes no sense, because they’re in california) until someone calls his girlfriend to come get him.

and then one day there’s an attack, and frat boy percy is all of a sudden a fighting machine. he’s yelling battle cries alongside the praetors frank zhang and hazel levesque as they lead everyone into battle. (why is he with the praetors? and why…. why in the world do the praetors seem to be following his lead?) his sword slashes through armies of monsters faster than you’ve ever seen. he’s controlling the entire river surrounding the camp, creating huge waves as tall as skyscrapers that crash down all around him, wiping out monsters and causing mass destruction to his enemies’ ranks. the sky is suddenly dark above you, ice-cold water droplets are slashing through the air, and the wind is blowing so aggressively that it’s making it hard to stand up steadily. because he’s somehow created a hurricane.

and he looks terrifying. you can feel the power radiating off of him. he’s like a god. or maybe a monster. it’s hard to tell. you’re a little scared of him, to be honest. but also in total awe, because it’s extraordinary. he’s extraordinary.

frat boy percy is not who you thought he was.

[indiainswiftland]

Speak for yourself. I always expect frat boys to be capable of mass destruction

time to read that little fairy series with the angry girl who can’t properly process her emotions and her little bitch emo hype man who also can’t process his emotions for the third time

I don't usually post sketches, but I'm having a weird day and I needed to draw these two to heal my mind. <3

what people who say "don't say 30 year olds are old, 30 is still young!!!" don't understand is i know that. i'm not calling my 25yo coworker old because i believe it. i'm calling him old because i enjoy psychological warfare

[adorablegorilla]

Holy shit a talking baby

[copepods]

do you know this guy

[ezziefae]

this isn’t a spoiler since i’ve been predicting this since holly announced it on the fairy loot livestream last year for the stolen heir, and i’ve made posts about this. (that jude will have a huge political problem by the end of the prisoners throne and that we will know what Holly’s next project will be)

but a reader who has finished the prisoners throne has confirmed that there will definitely be more jurdan in hollys next faerie project.

whether jude or cardan are the main POV’s?

i don’t know. since it could be any character that could be the main POV, i will be happy with anything, since either way we will definitely be getting more jurdan (but i’m still hoping it’s a cardan POV, LIKE IMAGINE)

[i-only-see-daylight]

Jude, after being kidnapped: Don't worry, I've got a few knives up my sleeve.

Taryn: I think you mean cards.

Cardan, long-suffering: She does not.

Jude, pulling out knives: I did not.

[starrynightsxo]

If I had one nickel for every time Jude mistrusted Cardan I'd have a lot of nickels. Which is weird since he can't lie AND they had a sacred vow thingy between them for a year and not a day more

[clockworkbee]

None of us imagined a letter or letters from Cardan

It was all. Short and formal (and long, the part you didn't guess). Full of gossip (about his feelings, really) wine stained (maybe, but also ink and tears) another trick...well yeah, (he's saying I love you without saying it and maybe hoping despite hope for you to say the same)
