Things I am into in Episode 9 of the Borgias:
- The sheer amount of scheming that everyone is managing to fit into individual letters here
- Cesare and Lucrezia
- This also covers the previous episode, but Lucrezia Borgia and Giulia Farnese, CEO and COO of Badass Ladies In Elaborately Elegant Dresses Incorporated (aka BLEED Inc)
- Cesare and Sister Martha (I am SO PROUD of them for making the obvious Abelard and Heloise reference by the by)
- Their gleeful advantage-taking of the fact that this particular French king was called Charles the Affable which is hilarious to me
- Watching Cesare needle Della Rovere
- Micheletto’s line “Then I am servant to a hostage, Your Eminence” I AM DEAD
- Micheletto killing people as a present for Cesare (SEE PREVIOUS RANT ABOUT WANTING SOME GODDAMN FIC, like I’m not even through the first season and I’ve read all the Cesare/Micheletto fic)
- Cesare and Micheletto going off to Deal with ungallant husbands (which is my new favorite descriptor for asshole dudes, ‘ungallant,’ I’m using that)
- Edit: EVERYONE IN THIS WEIRD FUCKED UP LITTLE FAMILY UNIT HUDDLED AROUND LUCREZIA AND HER NEW BABY, I’M FUCKING WEAK
