when jude tells cardan she loves him she explains it’s because he was clever and funny. cardan even doubles back and restates it. but then he goes on to say “you didn’t mention my handsomeness” to which jude mentions his ‘deliciousness’ but do we think cardan is so pleased by being referred to as clever and funny because she didn’t mention his looks?
we know cardan is beautiful and handsome and any other partners including nicasia most likely would have told him so. I think to have other characteristics noticed especially when he’s been a jinx essentially his whole life would have meant a lot to him. maybe him doubling back and saying she didn’t mention his handsomeness was because he expected her to, not just out of pride but because thats what he’s used to being equated to
King and Queen
Faerie wine
jurgen leitner?
stupid idiot motherfucking jurgen leitner?
The icon.
Cardan was not an easy child to love, and he’s only grown worse with time [...]
The Queen of Nothing, ch 19
comic of Magnus mag29 I’ve been meaning to do for a while.
Because you’re going to challenge Death, you better pick a game you’re good at
(just kidding I suck at Balatro)
My favorite episode yet 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
It ALWAYS gets me how happy Cardan is during The Prisoners Throne because he has finally achieved what he's longed for for so long, a loving family
He doesn't need to be cruel and wicked to gain other peoples attention because they love and adore him for who he is and he loves and adores them right back. I can't imagine how liberating this must be for him who's been in the dark for so long
I also don't think we give Jude's family enough credit for being extremely welcoming and forgiving towards him no matter what he has done in the past because if he is Jude's family he's there's too!!
The cruel prince fan film shook the books and the actors came out holy shit it is perfection and I am still not done with it 😭😭 please go support it!!l
Just thinking about what Jude Duarte must have felt that first night in the mortal world, exiled from everything she had sacrficed for... how sleep probably never truly found her even when exhaustion forced her eyes shut. Her mind a storm what-ifs and unanswered why's circling endlessly above her like a black cloud heavy with rain. The silence too quiet. The memories too loud. And somewhere beneath all that anger and grief, the unbearable ache of knowing that despite everything a part of her heart was still turned toward Faerie. Towards him.
every time someone complains about cardan's tail, oak's hooves, or wren's teeth an angel loses its wings, a baby cries, someone stubs their toe, a bird stops singing, a squirrel loses its acorn, et cetera
I get why he chose her. I just wish she had chosen me.
can they stop being iconic for like one second
Please go watch CyLovesFrogs rn 🍵🐸

For small context they talked about one day hopefully being able to open a Cafe/Tattoo Shop! I loved the thought and I hope they are able to live out their dreams :3
I feel like the fandom really mischaracterizes Cardan sometimes, and it’s honestly frustrating. People love to paint him as weak, dumb, or completely reliant on Jude, and it’s just… not true.
First of all, Cardan isn’t weak. The man survived an absolutely hellish upbringing—abuse from his family, neglect, and being treated like he was nothing—and still came out on top. He may not be a sword-swinging warrior like Jude, but he’s got his own kind of strength. He’s clever, manipulative when he needs to be, and knows how to play the long game. Jude might be the strategist, but Cardan is the one who can pull people to his side with words alone.
And let’s talk about this ridiculous idea that “Cardan probably wouldn’t be able to pick up Jude.” I saw someone saying that under a fanart of Cardan carrying Jude. Like, have you read the books? He’s described as tall, lean, and fit. Just because he’s not a muscle-bound tank doesn’t mean he’s not strong. The man is Faerie, which means his physical abilities are likely leagues above a mortal anyway. Not to mention, we’ve seen him hold his own in fights when it comes down to it (he killed half an army)
Here are some paragraphs where he does in fact pick up Jude.
What bothers me the most is how some people ignore the layers to his character. He’s not dumb or helpless—he’s strategic and emotionally intelligent in ways that complement Jude’s tactical mind. He might not plan ambushes or train for battle, but he reads people better than almost anyone.
Honestly, the whole “Cardan is weak and silly” take feels like such a disservice to his character. He’s a survivor and a very complex character, a king who learned to wield his power in his own way, and yes, I fully believe he could (and would) sweep Jude off her feet—literally and metaphorically.
