vox clamantis in deserto.

kinda in the mood to disappear into the fog tbh

what i like about cardan is that he’s Not Like Other YA Love Interests but, like, in a good way. he isn’t huge and muscular and overwhelmingly powerful and strong. he’s kind of a loser. he’s endearingly pathetic. things rarely ever go his way. he isn’t the top alpha dog that commands the pack, he’s more like that one lonely dog in the corner who licks his paws and whines and makes you feel bad for him. jude didn’t want him because he was this godlike, all-powerful guy, she wanted him because he’s a sad pretty boy who likes to drink wine and say poetic things about her and be kind of useless at times. he’s a very refreshing love interest. i wish we had more cardans in fantasy books!
