Locke:

[The Mincing Mockingbird Guide to Troubled Birds]

I made this on my wrong blog, I meant to make post this on @tttfota

Jude: I’m a reverse necromancer. 

Cardan: Isn’t that just killing people? 

Jude: Ah, technically.

Cardan: We all have our demons. 

Cardan, grabbing Jude: This one’s mine.

Jude: I am in charge of this disaster! 

Cardan: I have a name, you know.

Jude: *walks into the room* 

Oak: She's covered in blood again. Why is it she's always covered in blood? 

The Roach: Well, it looks like it’s her own blood this time.

Cardan, dramatically: They called me a fool. 

Jude, sick of Cardan's shit: They weren’t wrong.

book quotes ➳ the wicked king by holly black  “I hope it unnerves them to know that I am lying. After all, if the insult to me is pointing out that I am mortal, then this is my riposte: I live here, too, and I know the rules. Perhaps I even know them better than you since you were born into them, but I had to learn. Perhaps I know them better than you because you have greater leeway to break them.”  

“Tell me again what you said at the revel,” he says, climbing over me, his body against mine. “What?” I can barely think. “That you hate me,” he says, his voice hoarse. “Tell me that you hate me.” “I hate you,” I say, the words coming out like a caress. I say it again, over and over. A litany. An enchantment. A ward against what I really feel. “I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.” He kisses me harder. “I hate you,” I breathe into his mouth. “I hate you so much that sometimes I can’t think of anything else.”

The King and Queen of Elfhame

I am reading The Queen of Nothing and just came across this post and omfg I can't believe Cardan wrote this😭

I am: in pain

********* QUEEN OF NOTHING SPOILERS********

Hellooo, below, are the Letters from Cardan from the Barnes and Noble exclusive. Sorry for making y’all cry, but hope you enjoy! 🥺

Happy reading!

I'm pretty sure it was about 9-10 months.

Because at the end of The Wicked King, it's hunters moon and that's about midst/ends of autumn, meaning october, and then Jude is taken to the undersea for a month/ month and a half, and not long later she is banished, that could be anywhere between november/december.

And then at the begining of Queen of Nothing it's mentioned that it's early autumn, so maybe the first weeks of semptember? Maybe a little later.

So I believe it was around 9 or 10 months

Did Holly ever confirm how long Jude was exiled for? I've seen people speculate from few weeks to five months... and now I really need to know.

Sometimes I just think of when Cardan is telling Jude about the whole thing where her exile was just a scheme or whatever, I think of how Cardan just wanted Jude to be proud of him, proud because he fooled everyone, just like she does. I think about it and break just a little bit more, because that's how he would have made Baelkin proud, by doing what his brother would have done, so he just assumed to make Jude proud he had to do what she does. Our baby High King was just so desperate for love and validation, indeed.

So is nobody going to talk about how after her exile in TWK, Jude watches Yuri!!! On Ice in Vivi’s apartment? Because I think about it a lot

this parallel lives rent free in my head

reading Sueño for class and tell me this isn’t about Cardan (especially the last line)

I think about this alot
