You Know What Keeps Me Up At Night Is That Like. Jude Heard Cardan, A Fae Who Cannot Lie, Say "i Think

PJO TV EP 5 SPOILERS

Can we talk for a sec about how SMART GROVER IS??? Like it’s so cool we get scenes that weren’t in the book because percy couldn’t narrate it in his POV!! But Grover is literally a little evil genius and so much smarter than some people reduce him to!!

some people literally watched this teaser and are still adamant the casting is not perfect. wdym. percy looks confused in every shot that he's in. grover looks fucking terrified on the verge of a mental breakdown. annabeth is stabbing someone. how is this not perfect for you. LOOKS DON'T MATTER AS LONG AS THE ESSENCE OF THE CHARACTER IS THERE!!!!

Oh, yk what else they have in common? So much suffering and them not ending up together:')

I was today years old when I realized Percico has the exact same age gap as Romeo and Juliet.

It means absolutely nothing, but it's neat to think about.

being a marauders fan is a red flag.

it’s also an orange flag.

and a yellow flag. and a green, a blue and a purple one.

you’re gay.

And this all comes down to his fatal flaw, Unwavering Loyalty. Something he's commited his mind to? Baby seal needs to stay loyal to the stuff. Someone he loves needs saving? He's tye strongest. Someone doing something he believes is wrong? He gonna fight because the stuff affects his people too. I just- you get what I'm saying?

pissed off percy is a determined percy. because the second he saw his mom encased in gold and being held captive in the underworld. it was go time. he gained the upper hand on hades in under ten minutes. whooped ares's ass in under three. returned zeus's bolt and told him off like twenty minutes later. and then told kronos to stop being a coward and come find him. no one's fucking do it like our boy.

“I think of Cardan tied to a chair to cheer myself up. Then I think of the way he looked up at me through the curtain of his crow-black hair, of the curling edge of his drunken smile, and i don’t feel in the least bit comforted.” (Chap 23, Pg 279)

This quote is from when Jude and Taryn got into that fight after the failed coronation, when Jude found out about Locke and Taryn.

It funny how Jude’s thoughts go straight to Cardan. She attemps to cheer herself up at her accomplishment for having him hostage and as her prisoner. Instead she thinks of the way he LOOKED AT HER, and his SMILE.

Poor jude was head over heels for this man for soooo long, yet she didn’t know it and kept denying it the entire series until TQON. She confused her love for cardan with hate since the beginning of TCP. There’s so many quotes from Jude that the readers perceive are filled with hate.

For example:

“And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest, with black hair as iridescent as a raven’s wing and cheekbones sharp enough to cut out a girls heart. I hate him mora than the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breath” (Chap 4, Pg 30)

LIKE HELLO???

“When I look at him, I can hardly breath.”

Jude has had a crush on Cardan since the beginning of the book. But her drive was all directed to hate. She wanted to be better than him, she wanted to humiliate him.

AND CARDAN WAS GOING THROUGH THE EXACT SAME THING.

Cardan has had a crush on Jude for a long time (even when he was in a relationship with Nicasia, i’ll make a separate post on their relationship later) Yet, he envied her for being a mortal and having the things he couldn’t have even as the prince of Elfhame. He admitted to wanting her out of his sight so he could stop feeling the way he did.

Both Jude and Cardan were enemies because of their differences. There was a lot of misunderstanding. Both of them assumed things that weren’t true. Both of them were going through struggles. And In the end, they realized they were more similar than they thought.

(sorry for the typos! it’s really late, and im half asleep, and YES IM RE READING THIS BOOK AGAIN, expect more analysis post for the folk of the air series)

On a scale of 1 to 10, how reasonable of a reason is not having a cat to have a meltdown?

And dad's iconic like that😌✨️

Hermes and Poseidon both struggling to stay away from their sons and being haunted by what the Fates have in store for them meanwhile Hades click clacking around the underworld palace with his little heels thinking of sea puns to tell Percy
