JUDE'S POST-LOVE CONFESSION MONOLOGUE

'I first started liking you when we went to talk to the rulers of the low Courts,' I say. 'You were funny, which was weird. And when we went to Hollow Hall, you were clever. I kept remembering how you'd been the one to get us out of the brugh after Dain's coronation, right before I put the knife to your throat.'

He doesn't try to interrupt, so I have to choice but to barrel on.

'After I tricked you into being High King,' I say. 'I thought once you hated me, I could go back to hating you. But I didn't. And I felt so stupid. I thought I would get my heart broken. I thought it was a weakness that you would use against me. But then you saved me from the Undersea when it would have been much more convenient to just leave me to rot. After that, I started to hope my feelings were returned. But then there was the exile-' I take a ragged breath. 'I hid a lot, I guess. I thought if I didn't, if I let myself love you, I would burn up like a match. Like the whole matchbook.'

AH I LOVE HER SO MUCH (im basically cardan or vice versa idc)

One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs,

Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.

All of you are recklessly destroying forests, and soon there will be nothing left on earth. In the same way, you are recklessly destroying man, and soon, thanks to you, there will be no loyalty, no purity, and no capacity for self-sacrifice left on earth. Why can't you see a woman indifferently if she's not yours? Because the demon of destruction is in all of you. You have no pity neither for forests, nor for birds, nor for women, nor for each other.

— Anton Chekhov
