A new sketch featuring a scene from The Wicked King, behind the throne room, when Cardan is seeking Jude’s tutelage on how to seduce the enemy. This was voted on by my Patreons (submitted by Kimberly H.) for the October Sketch-a-Wish!

I’ve never felt closer to Cardan than I have writing my crushes name over and over in my manifestation journal

My friend just said that kaz calling inej an investment has the same vibe as cardan yeeting jude into a river and I-

Jude and Cardan would name their daughter Alice because Alice’s adventures in wonderland is their favorite book <3

Alice Greenbriar Duarte sounds really powerful.

yep fav headcanon.

so i’ve seen this photoshoot of olivia rodrigo and she looks somehow identical to this fanart of jude duarte??? i think i love the idea of her as jude


fan art made by: @phantomrin!!

jude:*pretending to be taryn, talking about locke* i loved him.


cardan:*knows that she is actually jude* sometimes i think you did.





so no one talks about this scene where cardan DID KNOW that she was jude. he looked absorbed by his owns thoughts because he knew that locke hurted jude’s feelings, he knew that she actually loved locke too. AND IT BREAKS MY HEART.

I finished reading Queen of Nothing yesterday and then I watched Swan Princess, and everything Rothbart said started to sound like things Jude would say and now I can’t unsee it. 

“You have much to lose and I have nothing. You may win in the end, you may ensorcel me and hurt me and humiliate me, but I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down.” - Jude in The Cruel Prince

“Mithridatism, it’s called. Isn’t that a funny name? The process of eating poison to build up immunity. So long as I don’t die from it, I’ll be harder to kill.” - Jude in The Cruel Prince

“Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold on to.” - the entire theme of The Wicked King

Cardan: “She is my wife and the rightful High Queen of Elfhame.”
Jude: **raids Cardan’s closet** **asks Taryn for wardrobe help** **asks Tatterfell to do her hair**
- The Queen of Nothing


And as a bonus, Jude riding up to the giant serpent at the end of Queen of Nothing:

Jude: Handcuffs fucking hurt.

Vivi: Use silk rope next time.

Jude: I don’t think I can convince a police officer to use silk rope.

For some mystical reasons, I was delivered today my Waterstones edition of “How the king of elfhame learned to hate stories”.

I feel fucking blessed and I’m gonna find myself a hole in an isolated mountain to read in peace.

Bye y'all. Love the book, love you, love my life!

“Kill him before he makes you love him” will forever be my favorite quote from twk.

Cardan: I’M TOO HOT!

*points at Jude*

Jude:

Jude:

Jude:

Jude:*sighs*

Jude: *monotone with deadpan expression* Hot damn.

Cardan: CALL THE POLICE AND THE FIREMAN!

“Eszembe jut, milyen volt teljes szívemből gyűlölni őt, csakhogy már túl késő.”

- Holly Black, The wicked king

Jude: Did you know that technically atoms never touch each other? Since we’re made out of atoms and since blades are made out of atoms, we’ve never actually touched anything in our entire lives. So to answer your question, Cardan. No, I did not kill that person.
