Beautiful The Cruel Prince page Overlays By Gabrielle Ragusi 

a “jurdan” love story

loving eachother since the very same time

confessing their love as (for)ever/always

how badly they wanted to be with eachother (when another wasn't there) no matter what

The way they both felt after losing eachother and then reuniting

And the iconic love confessions, of course!

the moral of their story is: nobody does it like them.

We’ll find you Amanda.

Also Cardan in twk thought that Jude spied for Dain because she was his lover (and not because of geas against being compelling)

There are two ways for mortals to become permanent subjects of the Court: marrying into it or honing some great skill. (TCP, Jude while getting ready for a revel) Do not reveal all that you can do. Show your power by appearing powerless. That is what I need from you.” (TCP, Dain to Jude, after the hand-stabbing scene) But I cannot forget his words to me: You are my creature, Jude Duarte. I touch my wounded hand to the hilt of my silver sword, the sword my father forged. After tonight, I will be the High King’s spy and a true member of his Court. (TCP, Jude during the coronation but before it went GoT) There were only two ways of being part of the court without raising suspicion. And Dain told Jude explicitly to not show any of her skills. Jude should have been way more worried about what Dain was planning for her. 

Omg, same!!! Somehow Emilia feels completely powerless in the beginning, and then instantly completely open to everything. Like if she just got Mary Sue'd, but for funny times

I'm around half way in Kingdom of the cursed and I just... nothing will beat the folk of the air series when it comes to lust and holding power against someone like Jude and Cardan. and I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that they had a tit for tat that slowly escalated in to the "your gonna have to beg for it" energy because chapter 17 of the Kingdom of the cursed is kinda giving me the wrong vibes...

and when I paused the first thing that came to mind was if I read ch15 of TWK(I am fully aware of my obsession) without context will I have the same icky feeling? is it Emilia lacking power or her lack of participation in this game of provocation that I dislike

cardan in tcp, randomly dancing with jude, avoiding her question as to what he wanted and avoiding insulting her with a fake excuse, lowers his hand on her hip, then (obviously) trying to get jude to say she hates him: “you really hate me, don’t you?” ends up leaving after judes response because buddy almost lost self control there (when you read the cardan in twk you’ll understand). let us not forget later that night he was watching her because just after his family was murdered (yikes), he found jude where she was hiding, telling her it’s not safe for her in that current situation. SOMEONE couldn’t get their mind off her especially after what she had said.

cardan in twk when jude says she hates him, showing signs of his kink: takes judes chin in his fingers, tilting her face to his. “say it again” his voice is l o w

cardan another time in twk, when him and jude are getting it ON: TELL ME AGAIN WHAT YOU SAID AT THE REVEL THAT YOU HATE ME TELL ME THAT YOU HATE ME (she does) he proceeds to kiss her harder (she says it again) he makes a harsh, l o w sound. takes off from there

this is just cause i love how longggg cardan has been wanting her, unable to control it and other great shit like damnnn fucking favs

i honestly dont get why people stopped reblogging things they like on here bc like what are you afraid of??? people thinking youre cringey?? guess what bitch! youre on tumblr! it’s all cringey! reblog everything you like and do it shamelessly no one fuckin cares

Вау, яка прегарна Джуд!

"Be welcome on the Isle of Insmire. Seelie and Unseelie, Wild Folk and Shy Folk, I am glad to have you march under my banner, glad of your loyalty, grateful for your honor. To you, I offer honey wine and the hospitality of my table. But to traitors and oath breakers, I offer my queen's hospitality instead. The hospitality of knives."

"Вітаю на острові Інсмайр. Благі та неблагі, Дикий народе й Несміливий Народе, я радий, що ви йдете під моїм знаменом, радий вашій відданості, вдячний за вашу честь. Вам я пропоную медове вино й гостинність свого столу. А зрадникам і кривоприсяжникам натомість пропоную гостинність своєї королеви. Гостинність ножів."

There is this kind of Western narration that pisses me off, major time.

The Russian-angle narration.

I listen to some US news in the morning, and what do I hear?

There is a win for Ukraine? Yes. Is it because Ukrainian Army kicks ass? NO. It's because Russian Army is old and badly organised.

A village gets recovered by UA? Yes.

Do we get even a sentence that's NOT related to Russians? NO.

What we DO get? "Put yourself into the shoes of these Russian soldiers, poorly armed, abandoned by the command, running away..."

NO.

There is no fucking way I'm putting myself into some rashist's shoes. I absolutely decline to commiserate, to empathise or to even consider how much their life sucks.

Because you know whose life sucks more? Their victims. The people they klilled, raped, tortured, starved. And yes, maybe someone will shoot one Rusek or another. But it's not like the Ukrainians went to their neighbourhood too look for trouble - the rashists came over to conquer and colonise. It is their fate to get their asses kicked in retaliation.

Why is this narration persistent? Is it because people from the US can only commiserate with an invading army who is on enemy territory, and gets they arses handed to them, but not to someone who is actually DEFENDING THEIR MOTHERLAND?

Is it because all the wars that US of A has waged in the recent memory were fought on someone else's land? And never touched the continental states? Is it why you are unable to form a meaningful empathic connection to a civilian population whose lives have been upended so completely - because this never happened to anyone you know, or to any place that's close enough to home, for you to understand what it means to be INVADED, instead of being the INVADER?

Jude and Cardan at the coronation. I recently finished The folk of the air and I am IN LOVEEE. It was sooo good! Jude and Cardan are my idiot babies

Prediction based on Stolen Heir chapter 1+2:

Reluctantly betrothed prince and Queen is a hoax

Queen and Knight is a go. I felt vibes.

Oak is gonna to thirdwheel hard.
