#the wicked king
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.
jurdan playlist i made <3 i recommend you to listen to it while reading the series
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:
Cardan Greenbriar:
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!
Jude Duarte my beloved
Oh Jude, you have no idea.
“Kill him before he makes you love him” will forever be my favorite quote from twk.

enemies to lovers slow burn where they barely hold hands★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
jude hiding from cardan and balekin at their house:
cardan: hey, jude! breathe if you like me.
cardan: jude? jude? jude stop you’re turning blue!
jude: how good am i with pets?
jude: i went out with cardan for years and he only bit me twice.
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!
a dagger is a weapon of murder
“Eszembe jut, milyen volt teljes szívemből gyűlölni őt, csakhogy már túl késő.”
- Holly Black, The wicked king
Oh how I’ve missed Cardan>>>
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.
