Firm believer in the idea that cardan starts feeling a weight in his chest and a clawing in his throat when he misses jude and she's not around. Her absence is a physical weight and he WILL feel like he's going to throw up when he can't see her

“Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man. You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them”

“They say looks can kill, and I might try. I don't dress for women. I don't dress for men. Lately I've been dressing for revenge”

life lessons

Jude: I learned some very valuable lessons from this. Cardan: I’m guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lessons you actually should’ve taken away. Jude: Death isn’t real, and I’m basically God.

My door.

Balkein had thrown him out. He was kicked out of the castle like a lowly commoner because he “fought like he was fighting some mortal lover of his” which was the worst insult Balkein could spit out when he was in a good mood. He was abandoned, alone in a forest at a time when he didn’t realise nobody would come if he screamed. So he did. As loud as he could and as long as his lungs let him. Eventually, as the twinkling of dawn began creeping into the sky and he trudged through the thickets, he found the broken fragment of a castle that he had learnt to call home. And he was there waiting for him. Could a wooden door express concern and relief? Cardan wasn’t sure but he saw a flash of it then. The gentle droop of his eyes and the pinch of the lines around his mouth.

“My Prince”, he said

It felt significant as he said it. The door calling a young and naive cardan his prince when both of them knew he wasn’t the prince who owned this wretched palace. Cardan felt belonging and comfort for the first time in ages, a knowing hunch creeping into him that at least, at least because of this door, he didn’t have to be broken to be worthy enough to be given attention to. Why? Because he was his prince. Cardan was his prince. So he replied in the only way that did it justice.

“My door.”

the cruel prince headcannons i have and ik I'm right okay!? part 2/it shall go on forever

Vivi would be the one to have those memory shoe boxes, like with polaroids of them and lil notes they wrote to each other when they were kids. She's secretly very sentimental, she keeps everything that helps her remember any small moment (just like me frfr)

which is why she loves right where you left me by taylor swift. AHA

Jude is evermore and Taryn is folklore.

When you yell at at either Jude or Cardan they both go stone-faced and chew the inside of their cheeks. Both of them weren't allowed to show weakness growing up so they share this trait and it has been titled the "uh-oh expression" because if they make that face uh oh! you're fucked.

When cardan finds out Jude trained herself to be immune to poisons, obviously, his first response is going bat shit insane because "why would you do that!!!" but after that has worn off its "....this means you can brew poisons right?..so theoretically.....you could teach me how to make poisons RIGHT???"

She says no.

He is devastated

When you look at cardan he looks scary as shit but that kinda wears off when the king of Elfame has a habit of draping himself across curtains to express distraught or distaste

Jude is the one who detangles him from the curtains after the said breakdown

HEATHER

WOULD

PUT

FLOWERS

IN

CARDANS

HAIR

and he would let her.

even though he hates his being touched, him and heather have become unlikely friends

Because he loves stories and telling them, and she is "a delightful audience Jude, she gasps at all the right parts and asks all the right questions!"

Cardan also feels like he finally got sisters back with Vivi and Heather

HEATHER AND VIVI DO GET BACK TOGETHER FUCK YOU

as the years pass, cardan doesn't let Jude go the mortal realm often cause then she'll age :((

Cardan and Jude often make elaborate mockeries of the members in the council (what you thought cardan was the only dramatic and sarcastic one???)

VIVI WAS A THEATRE KID SHE STILL REMEMBERS ALL THE MUSICALS SHE DID

Taryn's favorite subject would've been literature

Jude was a math kid i think

If she found cool math games.com she would go insane

"WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS MAGICAL SITE" "Jude we were kids when we left so we couldn't have-" "SHUT UP TARYN

love :)

Jude: Is something burning? Cardan: Just my love for you. Jude: Cardan, the toaster is on fire.

the cruel prince headcannons i have and ik I'm right okay!? part 1/???

cardan absolutely loves and adores cats but Jude is slightly allergic since the hair makes her sneeze

because of this Cardan has a separate room for the plethora of cats he has rescued and adopted from the human realm

he even has specific clothes he wears to the rooms so Jude doesn't have problems when she hugs him (or when she takes the clothes off ;) )

Jude loves lavenders, they are one of the few plants he can keep alive for some magical reason and plants a whole patch of them in the royal garden. Apart from her, Cardan is the only one allowed there

Jude has 3 moles on her hip and they are Cardan's favourite places to kiss

Cardan has one nasty gash across his right rib from Balekin's torture, even though it's healed it shows a lot and Jude loves to trace over it gently because she likes seeing how it calms Cardan

Cardan absolutely hates the smell of oranges, he swears he would like them if they didn't smell so rancid to him

Taryn has always loved gold and Jude has always loved silver

Jude also really liked copper on frames, mirrors, and general miscellaneous items, but liked her jewellery to be silver

Vivi loved green and grey and always had them in her room decorations, but after a while, her room became slowly more pink, for unknown reasons.

Vivi absolutely adores Taylor Swift and brings vinyls home for Jude and Taryn to listen to

Jude's favourite albums were Evermore and Reputation while Taryn's were Speak Now and Folklore

Cardan hated vanilla. anything vanilla flavoured or scented, he would throw out

Vanilla was also known to be Prince Dain's favourite scent.

Since cardan was raised by a cat he has developed feline instincts so he can practically jump from any height and a little-known fact is, if you pull him by his collar, he will immediately go limp and follow you anywhere (Jude uses this tactic to get him to go to meetings more often than he'd like to admit)

Cardan's favourite Mortal movie is mean girls. no questions asked
