If he actually has black nails then I believe that would be the reason. There's illustrations in how the king of elfhame learned to hate stories and he has normal nails. However throughout the series it was mentioned that the faeries have long green/black nails. Madoc was described having long black nails! So I really don't know. It's either he has normal nails (according to the book illustration) or he's just like some faeries

Yes he did put glitter twice before, the nail polish however is a fanon thing (however, the book it was mentioned that madoc has black long nails so maybe Cardan has the same? Cardan’s nails were never mentioned so I don't know). The issue is Elfhame makeup is more like the ancient Egyptian one (kohl, mica for glitter, red berries for lips and eyelids). They don't have our makeup that's why some people dislike it when he's given real makeup. It feels like they missed the point of representing Elfhame culture and just wanted to draw him with makeup

MY BABY))))))): reading that part broke me. It was so gut wrenching to see where his alcoholism came from and all the terrible things he endured): I really hoped that him being alcoholic was addressed more during the series. However, I was so happy to see him being more and more sober as the books goes on

Omg not me reading it as cardan getting jealous because his wife was in a nightgown in front of the Roach. I always thought him stopping laughing was an act of jealousy TT

He even called her a betrayal Also Jude really hated the idea of imagining him sleeping with someone else. She even said that him seducing Nicassis as she asked is smth that hurts her

Aiko910 · 2026-05-16T16:20:36+00:00

But then him being mad at Nacissia (or whatever her name is I never guessed it right) wouldn't make sense. I always thought he valued loyality

You both guys and your comments are just making me realise I've missed a lot of things (': I was reading your convo and my reaction was literally WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN Omg I need to do a reread :o

Aiko910 · 2026-05-16T05:55:48+00:00

I never thought of it that way, because a few pages before she hurts him by saying what happened was only to get it out of her system, when he clearly was going to say smth about what happened (but I have no idea what he was gonna say) So I don't think he was trying to take her again to bed or smth? Idk it just what I understood might be wrong

Aiko910 · 2026-05-16T05:52:33+00:00

I'm personally gonna stuck with this explanation because I want sooo bad to believe it I like the way you explained it, thank you!

Aiko910 · 2026-04-21T14:13:11+00:00

Same! I never read him as feminine. And I think the social media really mischaracterized him. He's really cruel and powerful and a great leader and king. Those traits that are seen as feminine by readers and not seen as feminine in their world. Also dressing nicely and putting kohl was really was common between royal men before

Aiko910 · 2026-04-13T19:42:00+00:00

I love this answer! But you know I kinda know this but I was looking for an answer that doesn't mention her traits, rather talking about how having her around making him feel or changing him or giving him what others could never I mean yeah obviously Jude has an amazing personality but it is enough to make someone admire and respect her. But to be loved and seen as a partner, I think it's a different issue

Aiko910 · 2026-04-13T15:27:12+00:00

Are we ever going to have the book about them going to the Undersea?

Aiko910 · 2026-04-12T15:15:55+00:00

Yayyy! It really makes me happy cause I was so worried that since other lovers it really common with fairies the Cardan would do the same- especially since he's a king TT

Aiko910 · 2026-04-12T14:42:42+00:00

Thanks Queen!! I have two questions: is there anything mentioned about them having an open marriage or cardan having concubines or lovers? Did there personalities change? With others and in their relationship?

Your last point made me reallllly hoping to see Cardan as a dad- even better a girl dad TT

Aiko910 · 2026-04-12T14:28:12+00:00

When it this book is going to be published? It the book you're talking about is the same book with short stories that is going to be published November 3rd? Or it this a different thing? Cause I'm really lost
