THE MYSTERY SOLVED !!! It wasn’t a post, it was in a convo that @alittlepassionfruit and I had a long time ago and they said this

@alittlepassionfruit when I get you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can't find the post and i dont remember who said this but to whoever said that "if Jude had a choice between following Willem into heaven and Brother Luke into hell, he'd choose the latter" needs to start paying some emotional damage reparations because WHY would you say something so devastating

Seeing Him in Everything after reading A Little Life to such an extent that Harold Stein would be decked and ripped of prosperity if he were to secure my delusional perspective of the world around me.

Why does Lucien's daughter hate Jude? When they meet, I think it is at the hospital, she says something like "Look who it is, Daddy's pet" and Jude is embarrassed. The other daughter tells her off and is friendly toward Jude. Did Lucien over praise Jude? Brag of him during family dinners because Lucien was Jude’s workplace law mentor/boss ? Jude is, of course, disabled and did this make Lucien over protective? Lucien's narky daughter has attended rehab and isn't a lawyer like her sister, so perhaps she sees Jude as some kind of family interloper, a cuckoo, the 'son' her dad wanted (and Harold feels a ping of jealousy when Lucien visits Jude in Greene Street after Caleb's attack). Using the word 'pet' too in a negative way feels like she is mocking Jude and giving him a low status. Just thinking of this brief scene.

I was very confused by this passage as well, especially since it just felt like it came out of nowhere. But I think you’ve answered your own question already haha there are certainly two scenarios for why Portia hated Jude in this scene

We all know Lucien and Jude had a very close relationship that went beyond just a simple boss-employee or mentor-employee bond.

Lucien was always the one to tell Jude how proud he was or how significant his case winnings were. He was the one who recognized Jude’s extraordinary abilities and recruited him to Rosen Pritchard. He was always telling Jude to take care of himself, to go eat or sleep after a long day of work. Lucien came to visit Jude after Caleb nearly killed him, and Lucien often visited him in the hospital after his suicide attempt. He called multiple times just to talk to him, just to chat. He cared for Jude’s health a lot, but he never treated Jude like a child or as someone to be babied. He recognized Jude’s want to prove himself capable and to be treated as an adult and respected that as much as he could.

But even as much as he respected Jude’s independence, he still took on a very parental role towards him. Before Jude begins dating Caleb, he’s one of the people who pester him about being single. He even says to Jude “I just think that I’d like to see you settled down with someone.” which is very similar to Harold’s own words of “We’d like to see you with someone.” Now that’s sort of abnormal for a boss to care about, isn’t it? But Lucien and Jude were close, and Lucien saw Jude as a responsibility of his, possibly even saw him as a son. Lucien’s admiration and care for Jude was so obvious that Harold even noticed and felt a little jealous that someone else had taken on such a parental role towards Jude.

So yes, one possible reason for her attitude towards him is Portia is jealous of Jude, or jealous of her father’s relationship with Jude/how much her father admired him. She could even see Jude as being an intruder of sorts, poking in on what is meant to be a family affair when he isn’t family.

But I also think that perhaps Portia was just feeling upset that day. After all, her father is in the hospital after suffering a debilitating stroke. Not to mention her own life doesn’t seem to be going well, seeing as she’s constantly going in and out of rehab. Jude mentions that he’s met Lucien’s daughters before, and even the younger one obviously recognized him enough to call him by name and express her condolences for Willem. He is surprised when Portia looks at him with hatred, which could possibly indicate that she’s never held animosity towards him before, at least not outwardly. She might’ve just been snappy that day and found a target to take her anger out on. Maybe her words were what she actually feels towards Jude, maybe she just wanted to be snarky. We just don’t know enough about her character to make a certain conclusion.

This ask reminds me of how I was thinking just the other day about how much I love the background characters of A Little Life, the ones who show up for just a split second or so. Shout out to Felix i love u and your punk rock band ! Shout out to Judge Sullivan for being a fat fuck !

whenever the "trauma porn" arguers talk about how "every adult jude met in his childhood were evil, how is that realistic?" I'm reminded of the few adults in Jude's youth who DID do right by him.

I think about the police officers who broke down the doors of the motel room, who held Jude and told him he was safe now. The only gripe I have with them is being too slow to arrest Luke before he offed himself and for not removing Jude from the room first thing.

I think about the detectives who found Jude in the field with Traylor. Who were the ones to arrest Traylor, the ones to take Jude to the hospital, and the ones who made sure that Traylor was put behind bars. The ones who came to Jude's college to tell him personally that the man who hurt him was dead and there was nothing to fear anymore. They were proud of him and told him so.

I think about the Douglasses, who took Jude in and cared for him. Who tailored their home for kids like Jude, kids with mobility aids. I think about Mr. Douglass, who sat outside the bathroom ready to step in if Jude slipped and fell. They told him to keep in touch.

I wonder if any of these adults ever saw Jude in the news, in the press, or even saw the paintings JB made of him. I wonder if they ever thought about him.

I love how Jude refers to Franklin as "his suitmaker" in the beginning of Vanities II, but then when later Malcolm refers to him as Jude's suitmaker he gets defensive like "No >:("
