Aldo Bellini: Time to get a good night sleep before what's hopefully the last day of this nightmare of a conclave. All we can hope for now is a calm resolution.

Thomas Lawrence, kicking the door in at 2 am with stolen files to destroy a candidate and flip the conclave on its head: ALDO, HOLY FUCK!

Sorry what-

Someone PLEASE write a fic where Pope Innocent XIV is gifted and elephant out of nowhere and no one knows what to do with it or where to put it

[honey-fluxx]

The new pope is always trying to get out of his job! He gets away with it because the dean finds him cute!

Wrote a fic inspired by this lovely artwork and idea by @robinsnest2111 and @captain-athos!

Check it out on Ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/68055016"><strong>The Treasures of Raymond O'Malley

forever enamoured with @captain-athos post about Ray's many niblings outfitting his office with lots of children's stationery items and their artist's rendition of what they think their Uncle Ray is doing at work, especially with the description of one of the drawings depicting Ray with Vincent (the pope!!!) holding hands infront of their new house <3

it was such a joy to try and recreate, let go of all the rules and restrictions regarding art I've been taught over the years and get back into that childlike unrestrained mindset of simply putting pencils to paper <3

now that we have photos of lawrence's room i keep trying to imagine what ray o'malley's apartments are like.

and i have decided that he's just down the hall. is lawrence living in the holy office or the apostolic palace or just a regular residential building in rome?

doesn't make a difference. raymond o'malley is down the hall. they get groceries together. well. ray gets groceries for both of them a lot of the time because cardinal lawrence tends to forget or otherwise decide to fast.

lawrence inevitable says 'oh ray, you did not have to'. inevitably ends up cooking for ray with the very ingredients ray got.

he's not bad at all. and in fact getting him cooking and being bitchy about various archbishops with a cup of good white wine in hand and hildegard of bingen's choral works in the background as he cooks is part of ray's on-going daily list of how to get his his eminence to an optimal state.

lawrence makes a weekly trip to a nearby pastiera to get ray's favorite pastries and the sweets. he also regularly gets him flowers. these, it cannot be overstated, are very platonic flowers. dahlias and marigolds and azaleas, because ray likes a pop of color very much, and wouldn't get them for himself.

ray waters both their plants. lawrence goes through irregular but intense work-faith-bad-work-faith-balance bouts of anxiety, that manifest in intense cleaning activity, and has been known to politely elbow his way inside ray's house to continue a floor-washing and dust-brushing loop. he also does both their laundry baskets', because his machine is bigger, and why waste energy?

ray does the ironing. not everyone can iron a zuchetto properly, and none do it like him; not least because cardinal lawrence tends to crumple and otherwise fidget with his when he's stressed. ray has a lot of experience.

his his eminence has the vatican's neatest, most precise, most flattering faschia and cassock pleats. adds something to his inherent gravitas. the general effect is one ray finds objective pleasant and is very proud of aiding, if he may say so himself.

they have movie nights. they have scripture nights. they have a book club and it's mostly thrillers and mysteries (dan brown read-alongs are always a hoot).

there's a large dining table in ray's flat that goes largely unused and is mostly their puzzle-spot. their record is 5k pieces. a puzzle of michaelangelo's final judgement, naturally.

they take the same route to work together and stand under the same umbrella when it rains. everyone at the grocery store is convinced that they are dating or in a civil union of some sort.

except for concetta who is part-timing at help desk one and once helped an insomniac lawrence find the big cif bottles on sale, caught a look at his vatican ID card when he was paying. and is now left to insist to everyone else that the priest collar thing is not kink.

Conclave fanart :D

it’s been long since I watched Conclave movie and even longer since it came out, but just now I decided to make a fanart.

I wasn’t originally planning to make any drawing for it, but then I saw people making fanarts here on Tumblr and that was all it took to convince me XD

so here I present to you, Vincent Benitez aka pope Innocent 🫶

#conclave

Delight with me father for i am in joy: for being in a fandom where discussions range from your classic tried and tested old man yaoi and putting them in Situations to heart felt opinions on religious discourse (kept largely respectful and in good faith, thank GOD, and i am frothing over all your posts about the catholic and protestant thing), in a piece of media set in circumstances where 60 is considered young. As it should! So much life ahead even with much gone by, so much time to know yourself yet still time, always time, to be excited over how we can change. Top reason why i love conclave so much is because these people are old. They have the time and experience to know who they are, how they are, what they like, and that makes choosing to let another person in - in any capacity - is always so interesting and for me, always an act of love. To choose, and to choose with your full chest backed with decades of experience, is, i think, the greatest act of love.

And this is reflected (possibly, I didn't check the numbers) in an older fandom space full of people who grew up in fan culture and now have a more reflective experience going in. Being a fan of something doesn't die after the age of 25 or 30. You like what you like, always! Besides, at every age, you're still too young to be the pope.

HC that Vincent is one of those people who doesn’t cut his hair until it starts to bother him, then proceeds to cut all of it off and waits 2 years until he cuts it again, since he doesn’t care much about his hair or how he looks. The Curia, of course (particularly Thomas) is DEVASTATED when he shows up to his next meeting with short ass hair

they're hiring me at the extra virgin olive oil factory as the oathsworn knight who protects the chastity of the olives

Vincent tying his hair back for you freaks <3

Still pretty new to fanart and still trying to find my own art style, so apologies if all my stuff looks like a mess lol. Trying my best

I wonder if the thought of "fangirls in their twenties will be turning this into old man yaoi so hard" ever entered to Robert Harris when he was writing Conclave
