#jude greenbriar
Jude and Cardan went swimming in the Mortal World. Look how happy they are.
I don’t know who the artist is.
Cardan: I have a problem.
Jude: Kill it.
Cardan: Can you chill for like, two seconds?
No. No she can’t.
there are some verses that represent them
Jude:I am the master mind, he’s my accomplice.
Cardan:You’re only still alive because I made a promise.
You don’t understand.
I am obsessed with them.
And that’s how you summon Jurdan shippers.
i always find it so funny that vivi and cardan pre tcp used to hangout ish becoz his sister and vivi were friends and then we have jude and cardan being enemies
cardan “im not a murderer” greenbriar
jude dies and cardan goes on to become what he started as - a villain. He goes on a killing rampage. There’s nothing stopping him now as how he stopped jude from killing
jude: cardan can i ask for a favour
cardan: i would move heaven and earth for you, but continue
I love how Holly Black didn’t even attempt to redeem Cardan, instead she just made Jude so much worse he seemed inoffensive by comparison
Jude: I wonder if Cardans happy in elfhame now not that i care or anything. human world is great….. absolutly great- i hate Cardan
Cardan: *Literally having multiple breakdowns a day thinking abiut Jude*-In my most wretched hours i believe you will never come back
Jude: CARDAN COME HERE I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU
Cardan: Ooh someone in trouble
Cardan: It’s me i don’t know why i said that
Cardan: Murder is never the answer
Jude: It’s the question
Jude: And the answer is yes
Cardan:nO
Don’t ask me why I stopped posting here, Jurdan for you btw
Describing Jude and Cardan is basically,
Jude : SHUT UP
Cardan : MAKE ME
*proceeds to make out*
it’s always “wyd” and never “chasamchafwmchabmhiymjch”
never not thinking about that jurdan moment in queen of nothing when:
“What was it like?” I ask. “Being a serpent.”
He hesitates. “It was like being trapped in the dark,” he says. “I was alone, and my instinct was to lash out. I was perhaps not entirely an animal, but neither was I myself. I could not reason. There were only feelings—hatred and terror and the desire to destroy.”
I start to speak, but he stops me with a gesture. “And you.” He looks at me, his lips curving in something that’s not quite a smile; it’s more and less than that. “I knew little else, but I always knew you.”
And when he kisses me, I feel as though I can finally breathe again.
jude & madoc’s relationship [tfota spoilers]
i don’t think y’all understand the way jude & madoc’s relationship absolutely KILLS me .
it agonizes jude to love madoc when he is the one who killed her parents, but he is the only father she has ever known.
she wants to be nothing like him, and yet she is her father’s daughter. it is him who teaches her to fight, to be strong, to be ruthless and unyielding and cunning. and she loves him for this, so much so that when she uses all that he taught her against him, it breaks her heart a little.
when they find themselves on opposite sides of the war, jude can think only of how his love for her is not enough to outweigh his love for power. yet she realizes that her love for him does not outweigh her desire for power either. they are two sides of the same broken coin.
in the end, when she must pronounce madoc’s punishment, she exiles him because she knows that being forced to live in a place of peace is a worse fate than death for him. and yet a small part of her also cannot bear to see him die. she knows their relationship can never be healed, but it is her lingering love for the father that taught her how to be strong once upon a time that saves him from death.
jude has only ever called madoc “father” when she is about to betray him, but when she whispers, “goodbye, father” it is not to announce a betrayal. it is to acknowledge that he is her father, and she loved him, and she hurt him, and he did exactly the same to her, and now they find themselves back where they first began with the roles reversed- madoc brought jude to the faerie realm, where she had no desire to be, and now jude sends him to the human world, where he has no desire to be. but perhaps he might learn to love it the way jude grew to love elfhame.
perhaps jude’s punishment was never a punishment at all.
perhaps it was a final gift to the only father she ever knew.
