Bestie. You Need Therapy. Not A Fae Prince With Midnight Hair And Razor Sharp Jawline Who Hates You Because

Bestie. You need therapy. Not a Fae prince with midnight hair and razor sharp jawline who hates you because he thinks of you. Often. It's disgusting, and he can't stop.

i can’t stop thinking about this

Princess Mononoke (1997)

Director: Hayao Miyazaki

"You are my creature, Jude Duarte."

-

"Tell me that you are mine, Jude."

"I am your creature, Prince Balekin," I say, looking into his eyes and lying with my whole heart.

dunno if this makes sense but I found this parallel. turns out dain and balekin are more alike than we thought 🤨🤷

The Folk of the Air series really didn't have to go as hard as it did with the poetic lines

“I have lied and I have betrayed and I have triumphed, if only there was someone to congratulate me.”

“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It’s disgusting, and I can’t stop.”

“If I cannot be better then them, I will become so much worse.”

“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” “No, tell me.” “I cannot.”

“Kill him before he makes you love him.”

“Kiss me again, kiss me until I'm sick it.”

“He is even more horrifically beautiful than I was able to recall. They’re all beautiful, unless they’re hideous.”

“My sweet villain, my darling god.”

“I want to tell you so many lies.”

“Whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips.”

“By you, I am forever undone.”

“My sweet nemesis.”

“It’s you I love, I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.”

jude duarte's heroism and bravery lies in her standing up for herself it's not some lame and boring captain-america-standing-up-for-the-little-guy bullshit that main characters generally have and i LOVE that about her folk of the air would have changed the trajectory of my life if middle school me had read the books her selfishness and survival is so admirable most of the times people overlook her characterisation because we're all focusing on jude x cardan and it's ridiculous because she's such a layered character everything she does is for her own survival in this essay i will-
