I made this on my wrong blog, I meant to make post this on @tttfota
I love how there isn't a drink in his hand for all the boards and then in the last two there isn't 😭
Dropping a very special Sketch-a-wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for August! The winning request was to illustrate an off-page scene from The Folk of the Air series, when Cardan was writing his letters to Jude. I countered that Cardan went through the five stages of grief writing those letters, and each deserved it's own illustration. (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance) You'll also notice some familiar outfits throughout! Have a great weekend. :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Damn time flies. This is crazy. 2020 is crazy.
I hope you are well and having a good time. Do you feel excited about the year changing? Or do you just feel... nothing? All seems the same to me. Anyway, what are your 2021 goal(s)???
I just finished reading The Folk Of Air triology by Holly Black. Ohh how much I miss it. Jurdan is my new baby. Though I must admit that ACOTAR is better. (Feysand all the way)
Side note: I am excited about my 2021 bujo set up. This is the first time I use dotted journal. Ofc my lazyass procrastinate and I haven't finished the set up. Wew
Chaotic duo. Have to do smth about this idea
I love him so much... Literally mirroring all my feelings
I see lots of fanarts with a "pale as a ghost" Cardan and a kinda "brown" Jude. AND I just think, she just has a little tanned, maybe not even that bold, sort of skin.
Cardan is the thing.
HE'S SO PALE. I don't remember Holly describing his skin in detail (although my memory is not that reliable) but I like to imagine him with a snow white skin. He's a fairy, your honor ✨
thats so real stop
Cardan: one of the many, many things that baffle me about myself is that I manage to remain unmurdered.
not only does cardan have bi wife energy, he is a bi wife
Well...
I think this is my best way to describe this ship
P.S.: change the water bottle w knife and it will be perfect
The Court of Shadows when faced with a problem.
The Roach: of course we could stab him in the back?
The Bomb: well that just seems too obvious, maybe we could pour some poison in their ear and hope the post-mortem examiner doesn’t look too closely.
Jude: oh oh oh! I know! We could frame them for treason and have them killed!
Everyone else:
The Folk:
Obama:
Jesus:
Cardan: hey guys. What, and I cannot express this enough, the actual fuck-
I just finished The Folk of the Air trilogy and I’m none too sure what to do with myself...
Cardan says in the wicked king and i quote "if youre the sickness, i suppose you cant also be the cure"
But did we forget that the cure to a snake's venom is the venom itself?
“The three of you have one solution to every problem. Murder. No key fits every lock.” Cardan gives us all a stern look, holding up a long-fingered hand with my stolen ruby ring still on one finger. “Someone tries to betray the High King, murder. Someone gives you a harsh look, murder. Someone disrespects you, murder. Someone ruins your laundry, murder.” — Holly Black, The Wicked King
Cardan describing The Folk of the Air series
@tfotadaily tournament one: favorite character → cardan
“There you are,” Cardan says as I take my place beside him. “How has the night been going for you? Mine has been full of dull conversations about how my head is going to find itself on a spike.”
To scheme great schemes he said 😂
There's something about Cardan's teasing sweet talk that makes my tummy go 🦋🦋
“Yes, my sweet villain, my darling god. I will be as sober as a stone carving, just as soon as I can.” And with that, he kisses me on the mouth.

how dare cardan greenbriar casually drop a number like "yes, my sweet villain, my darling god" and kiss jude duarte on the mouth in front of basically the whole damn kingdom
Cardan’s tail lives rent free in my mind.
For one thing, he can’t control it. He tries to hide his true emotions but his tail betrays him and reveals them, thus he keeps it hidden.
When Jude kidnaps Cardan and he exclaims he has a tail “Would you like to see it!” He’s not just being nervous and funny, he’s showing that he’s going to be completely truthful with her.
The tail is described as thin and mostly hairless except for a tuft of hair at the end. You know who else has a thin mostly hairless tail with a tuft of hair at the end? A lion! And Cardan’s tail behaves like it belongs to a cat.
For instance, the first time Jude and Cardan are intimiate, she describes pulling down his pants and
My dude, tail curled up against the body is a sign of vulnerability. And though my man had the initiative and experience, he felt vulnerable against Jude. In his mind he was exposing his feelings to this powerful woman that seemed to not be hurt by anyone or anything. In a later chapter he is hurt when she acts as though that intimate moment meant nothing to her.
The second time they’re intimate, Jude describes the tail as
Lashing back and forth is an aggresive move. It is done when hunting and ready to pounce. My girl had Cardan going. That man was ready to attack.
Then when they’re getting down to business, the tail
Baby, that’s possessivness. That tail is saying what Cardan is screaming inside, MINE! That’s his woman. The tail wrapping around another being is also done when the pair is bonded. It means they have accepted you as part of them. Jude isn’t just his woman, his wife; she has become a part of him.
Also, in question of if the tail wags from side to side when he sees Jude, it probably doesn’t. That’s dog tail behavior. Cardan’s tail probably shoots straight up in the air with the tuft end in a hook like a cat’s does when it sees it’s favorite people and friends.
