I don't want Naples yet. I want my sister.

#omg I’ve been waiting for a well lit set of gifs of this scene #like there are so many scenes of crezia and ces that are gorgeous but soooo dark #that it’s almost impossible to see exactly what’s going on #and that’s not going to fly for obsessed borgiacest shippers lol #anyway I’ve said it a thousand times but love this scene #I swear Cesare sees her and is immediately the most affectionate tender loving psychopath in the world #he is one (1) breadcrumb away from sticking his tongue in her ear #there’s NECK kissing #and Lucrezia is full on ready to take him into that carriage if you know what I mean #Alfonso probably thinking well hey why can’t he be that nice to me!!#and then he’s like Oh #oh I see it now #I see why #like you could take away the clothes and add a shower and the scene would still make sense #the only thing that would be weird is the guys watching #really it’s Alfonso who’s intruding here #bc just Borgiacest #Cesare x Lucrezia

"We thought it was going that way from the very start of the first season. Neil Jordan, the creator of the show, denied it from the beginning but we were like "it's all over your writing man." It's in every single line, every single scene: these two are definitely in love with each other. So to me it's really a love story. It came as a natural progression I would say. I didn't judge the characters, it seemed very natural actually." — FRANÇOIS ARNAUD

#my sweet little turtle doves #the way neither of them even FLINCHED #the way Cesare was like huh? oh. yeah! sure #and remember when she said in season 3 that no one could ever be like him #this is that #the way their love for each other is literally so far apart from all their other relationships that #he’s literally getting het laid right her and it’s still incesty #also speaking of Francois Arnaud being a Borgiacest shipper #he also gave an interview to promote season 2 #and when the interviewer asked him what was in store for him and his sister (unsuspectingly asked)#he started giggling and said wel there may be a kiss. there’s a kiss. yeah there’s one kiss #and since they otherwise don’t really touch lips in season 2 I assume this is what he was talking about #but his sheer excitement #and the way that this kiss made everyone at home go HEY WAIT A SECOND #you two can do the cute little nose bump and pretend it didn’t happen but we saw that!!!!!#trying to slip it by us as if we didn’t spot all the hand touching and the longing looks and grand statements in season 1!!!#bc just borgiacest #cesare x lucrezia

The first episode of The Borgias “The Poisoned Chalice” premiered 13 years ago today.

#and we’ll never forget it #bc just Borgiacest #also I LOVE the gif that has cesar standing behind a crowd of bowing priests #that man #which is to say nothing (but I mean nothing) of the casual leaning-against-the-table-with-priest’s-garb-casually-open #may I be the orange he’s holding there #the Borgias

I must warn you, Sister, I shall visit at every available opportunity. THE BORGIAS | 1.09 Nessuno (Nobody)

#you know what #I bet this wasn’t even In the script #I bet dir. Neil Jordan just said ‘well hey guys let’s just do a nice siblingy goodbye scene yeah? like a quick platonic hug yeah?’#‘maybe a cute kiss on the forehead but PLEASE PLEASE don’t make it weird or anything okay?’#and this is what they did #which is to say #the slowest most reverent most godly kiss on the forehead #and the deepest saddest most longing look of longing to ever grace the screen #also people saying that this relationship was toxic #NO #watching these two in a scene together is like exhaling #the rest of the Borgias is mostly murders and intrigue and parties and stuff so #but these two!!#precious #bc just Borgiacest #francois arnoud #holliday grainger #lucrezia x cesare

Not to forget about the time Lucrezia asked for her brother’s help on her outfit:

LUCREZIA BORGIA + helping Cesare wear his outfit 𐙚˙✧˖

#the Borgias #she’s like #this my man and imma make sure he looks fine as hell #let me just look at you darling and find an excuse to touch you hmmmm #oh boy! I can sure tell you’ve been working out below this steel breast plate #let me just help you into these clothes with all the attentions and flirtatious expressions of someone who’s rather help you out of them #Lucrezia is a queen and this is still the best ship to ever grace televisions and I will not be taking questions about that at this moment #bc just borgiacest #Cesare Borgia #Lucrezia Borgia #cesare x lucrezia

There’s a punishment for spying!

HOLLIDAY GRAINGER as LUCREZIA BORGIA THE BORGIAS — 01x01: The Poisoned Chalice

#I feel like this scene opens itself up to a lot of cheap jokes #I spy with my little eye #a problematic romantic attachment and a perky but #knock knock who’s there??#well it’s *not* Platonic Relationship #eenie meenie miney mo #crack the window & watch your bro #I feel like Lucrezia is very much representative of the viewers of The Borgias in season 1 though #innocent with a healthy curiosity in episode 1 #but by the end of the season it’s more like Oop! Is that an impossible love i spy through the glass?? Is it a ship???#better check again to make sure!!#bc just borgiacest #holliday grainger #Lucrezia Borgia

#stoppp I’m getting sentimental #also I love the interpretation of Los #Los Borgia #the casual way it’s a part of the story #and also #although I will always preach for The Borgias (showtimes)#I like the actors of Los Borgia and Borgia too #just very different interpretations of the story I suppose #I think I’m working myself up to a rewatch #bc just borgiacest

"And I have missed that face."

THE BORGIAS (2011-2013)

#sorry but the hand recognition thing #it’s hardly even possible but it is a hold on me #like if your SO does not recognise the touch of your hand THROUGH a thick ermine lined glove than how is that love????#honestly Cesare isn’t even wearing any recognisable rings here #to be fair they spend half the show holding hands so if any couple will get away with this it’s them #also I feel like we should talk about the way he sneaks up #on her and then stands there for a while relishing in her presence while totally expecting her to know instantly it’s him #these two are on a wavelength I can’t even begin to explain to people who haven’t seen the show #but honestly do y’all know if anyone who have seen the show and don’t get it?#it being the Borgiacest part #Idk guys I’m reading wuthering heights again and looking at these gifs at the same time and it’s a new level #of dramatic tortured love dysfunctional family slow burn #bc just borgiacest #Lucrezia Borgia #Cesare borgia #cesare x lucrezia

You would not lie to me, brother?

Francois Arnaud and Holliday Grainger as Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia in The Borgias (2011-2013)

#stil crooning over this ship like Smeagel over his ring #and it’s mostly the chemistry and undying dedication and love between these two #bc of Im reaalllly honest I didn’t like all of their dialogue #felt a little on the nose in season one sometimes #not as much in seasons 2 and 3 #but the acting! Every little look so on point #i wish I could see it all for the first time again #so I can then rewatch and reanalyse again #I think that’s what they call the circle of life right #bc just Borgiacest #holliday grainger #francois arnaud #cesare x lucrezia #Cesare Borgia #Lucrezia borgia

"Lucrezia—with the cardinal’s permission, on the advice of Adriana—was dedicated to the Muses and taught by the same talented tutors as her brothers. Because she loved the arts, she learned to play the lute, to dance, and to draw. She excelled in embroidery—on fabrics of silver and gold." — The Family, Mario Puzo.
