Jurdan - Blog Posts
just once i wanna put the blade of my sword under a pretty boy’s chin and tilt their head up so i can see both fear and arousal in their eyes is that too much to ask
Omggg my heart!!!😭❤️
THE FOLK OF THE AIR ♔ HOLLY BLACK
❝ In my most wretched hours, I believe you will never come back. Why would you, save for your ambition? You have always known exactly what I am and seen all my failings, all my weaknesses and scars. I flattered myself that at moments you had feelings for me other than contempt, but even were that true, they would make but a thin gruel beside the feast of your other, greater desires. And yet my heart is buried with you in the strange soil of the mortal world, as it was drowned with you in the cold waters of the undersea. It was yours before I could ever admit it, and yours it shall ever remain.❞
uuuhhh can’t remember if i posted this here already or not 😳 but wow i love jurdan so much!
please DO NOT repost my art but DO follow me on insta!
what would you change about jurdan in canon to like the ship more
Well, I would make Cardan apologise and I'd make them have an actual discussion about what he did to her in TCP instead of just forgetting so soon and moving on.
It's just, rereading the Cruel Prince and seeing all of his horrific abuse of her, even if he had his reasons, was absolutely horrible.
I mean, yes, he did try to help her, but he still threw her into the river. He still watched as they made her strip and do degrading stuff. He still threatened her at the tournament. That kind of thing has effects on people. Bad effects.
Let him place his reasons in front of her, let her acknowledge this but also tell him that he hurt her badly, let him plead and grovel with her and realise that he really did fuck up even if he had his reasons and tried to save her.
Not discussing your toxic past isn't really a good thing. Couples need to clear the air, not just brush it under the carpet.
I'd make her say that they have to work on their relationship and let her forgive him over time, not all at once.
It's fictional, so it's not that bad to ship them because they're supposed to be a dark romance. But the way they turned from dark romance to perfectly ok couple at the end really made me raise my eyebrows.
Jurdan is actually relevant to the plot
The thing about Jurdan is that their romance is ACTUALLY RELEVANT TO THE PLOT.
See, with Percabeth and Sokeefe, leaving out their romance wouldn't change anything. They could just be really good friends or best friends.
But with Jurdan, well, if Cardan didn't romantically love Jude, if he hadn't been OBSESSED with her, then he wouldn't have offered to make her queen, which would have changed a lot in the plot.
(Not saying that this makes Jurdan superior to Percabeth or Sokeefe)
This is my two cents-feel free to disagree and give me arguments why.
I blame Holly Black because now I'm attached to a power seeking killer and an attention deprived alcoholic with a tail
Juliette Cai x Jude Duarte headcanons
Them comparing their knives and daggers and giving each other advice on how to be better at murdering people.
Juliette giving Jude fashion advice because Juliette's outfits are on point🤌🏻
Jude telling Juliette how to better hide a dead body
They both would definitely talk about their husbands and the stupid things they have done
Juliette: I once held Roma to knifepoint.
Jude: Weak! I held Cardan to knifepoint and then proceeded to make out with him.
Juliette: I faked the death of Roma's bestfriend to save the city
Jude: I straight up killed Cardan's best friend and hid his body in my murderer step-dad's estate.
Jude: Cardan threw me in the river because he didn't know how to handle a crush
Juliette: Roma shot at me in a theater full of people and then hurt himself in the process. I had to save myself and bandage up the idiot🤦🏻♀️
Jude: Gurll?? Are you sure he is the one?
Jude: Cardan has a tail!!
Juliette: No way! Does it wag when he gets excited to see you?
And Roma and Cardan would be standing in the corner looking at their wives in awe and being utterly grateful that these godesses haven't left them.
ah yes, the girl with the knife and the morally gray boy who hates everyone but the girl with the knife, trope
I'd like to thank Holly Black for finally proving that if you want to write a romance between a human teenage girl and an immortal magic man properly, the girl has to be feral. None of this "she's an angel, she's his morality" nonsense, she has to be unhinged and ready to kill a man. Otherwise it's just creepy and weird.
This has no relation to sexual intimacy or romantic scenes. Which of these ships understood each other the best and worked well together [when they tried to]. Just curious about what ship dynamics work the best (for my current book).
This is a beautiful rendition of my favourite scene in QoN 🥰😍
Artist: Loweana.art
The best ship dynamic is "i'll die for you" person and "i'll kill for you" person
