Other people introducing Cardan: This is the High King Cardan Greenbriar, cunning charmer, excellent fighter and a strategic, brutal ruler. 

Cardan introducing himself: Hi, I'm Jude’s husband.

gotta love oriana bc she said “fuck them kids except for mine” and she stood by that. unlike literally EVERY other parental figure in the series

(I’m looking at u lady nore and lord jarel, Asha, eldred, etc. and also madoc bc bro obv had a fav and it wasn’t his bio daughter (sorry vivi but i doubt she would want to be his fav anyway))

it’s funny how she refers to cardan as a disappointment from “the start/beginning” and doesn’t give him a chance. just like everyone else. maybe it’s her residual feelings for Asha, who she implied not liking, or maybe it’s just how she is. not a kid person, which makes sense bc she certainly didn’t adore jude and taryn, but they were human. so who knows. all i know fs is that she rode for liriope and oak ONLY. and then madoc, weirdly. who she went into exile w. but ok period i would too

anyway this segues into me trying to convince anyone that yes, oriana should in fact kill someone in the next book! if madoc does die (no pls) i want it to be Oriana bc that icon absolutely deserves it for enduring madocs shenanigans. or they could idk fall in love but let’s be real their story is too much of a side plot

idk i could talk abt her for ages and abt how she’s just a good person in general just so scared to be hurt or to see oak hurt. my angel she can do no wrong in my eyes

Anyway this pic reminds me of her pink and pretty and unassuming

Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for April! A scene from The Wicked King by Holly Black, Cardan and Jude pledging their troth.

This scene was nondescript on the type of flowers that were blooming in the king's chambers as they were professing their vows to each other. But given how they were both adamant that their marriage would be utilitarian and short lived, I feel like the room blooming over head was a sign that it was more permanent than they realized, hence the wisteria and its meaning. 🤭

Jurdan supremacy

i wish i was a little fairy... tcp self insert so i can marry grima mog

Locke saying this and getting killed by taryn is so funny lmao taryn said you're the problem and solved it by murdering him

Cardan not going after Jude during her exile always makes me cry because the only reason he wasn’t is because he wanted to respect her wants and autonomy so bad. He didn’t want to make her come back if she didn’t want to, didn’t look for her because he genuinely believed Jude would come back if she wanted to be found. And again it’s just so in-character of him to automatically think she’s just found something better than him because no one ever willingly picked and stayed with him when they had a choice so why would she?

If you know, you know

THIS is how jude looks as the queen of mirth?!?

....locke fumbled
