tapping the mic to say 🎤 when do u think the real shift in cesare and juans relationship happened and when did it begin to sour (or the audience could argue there were always notes of sourness and love mixed in together that just developed as time went on to be less fondness and more envy on both sides) bc lowkey ive been thinking the rift began when juan was chosen to go defend rome against king charles's army in s1 and cesare was desperate to don the armour and go and so when juan came back defeated, he was so ashamed with himself but cesare felt petty vindication and in this essay i will...[the audience cuts me off]

"He's not making excuses for what he is anymore, and what he wants to be. He ultimately feels that killing Juan was the right thing for himself. It's something that he focused on and I think he can control his mind into having no second thoughts. And that's the only way you can rule in that era, really." - Francois Arnaud

you're right! it's a mixture of sourness and love because, while cesare resented juan's weakness and naivety, but i think he still cared for him at first because he feels obligated to protect him since he was his family. but mainly, rodrigo's vicious cycle of ambitions tore them apart as he made cesare believe he was inadequate, despite loving, admiring, and relying on him. rodrigo's deliberate self-delusion (he is aware that cesare is the driven and more competent one) and self-loathing prevented him from embracing cesare's true self. appointing juan to a task desired by cesare fueled the hatred and envy as he started thinking juan was rodrigo's favorite. eventually, his frustration towards juan led him to murder him because this is where he becomes the cesare borgia we read about in machiavelli's 'the prince.' and like i said before, juan shaped the rest of cesare's story till the end. he was the one who drove him to finally become what he always meant to be and take the path he was always destined to. it's why juan's death is necessary to him because it was also a way for rodrigo to release him from his position as a cardinal. he claimed to rodrigo that he killed juan because he brought dishonor to the family, but cesare pretty much did contribute to bringing dishonor to the family by not wanting to warn juan about ludovico's army coming his way at forli after machiavelli informed him about it. cesare could have spared his family from another failure but decided not to because his priority was to humiliate juan just to prove a point to rodrigo, that he is the better son. he even gaslit juan about it by telling rodrigo that he wasn't aware of the attack, which makes cesare self-contradicting, just like how he went all "we're borgias, we never forgive" while killing juan because he was well aware juan struggled all his life questioning himself if he was truly rodrigo's son or not and desperately wanted to belong. cesare very decidedly excluded juan because he wanted to even emotionally hurt him in his final moment, then later was begging for "forgiveness" from rodrigo, a borgia, after the murder. also rodrigo feels a great deal of guilt (as he was hallucinating and dreaming of juan in s3) for making juan envied by cesare which led him to the decision to murder him, as that was the only way for cesare to gain his father's attention and the papal army. and when rodrigo finally forgives cesare for his sin of fratricide, rodrigo also forgives himself of the blame he's placed upon himself and the guilt he feels for letting his ambition destroy his family. they finally let go of the past and rodrigo can finally embrace cesare for the person he really is and has always loved deeply.

"he loves his errant son, does he not? More than he loves his dutiful one." - Cesare Borgia

cesare was proven wrong after all the time he was thinking juan was the favorite. he came to the realization that even though rodrigo saw so much of himself in him, he still planned from the beginning to make cesare his true heir. this brought relief and a sense of validation after years of feeling inadequate. rodrigo always intended for cesare to succeed him in the church, which was the only way that truly mattered to him. he made cesare a cardinal, a prince of the church, with the ultimate goal of cesare becoming the future pope and king. when rodrigo shared his dream of creating a papal bloodline to be passed down to cesare and his own son, cesare's perspective shifted. he began to heavily care about the perceptions of others, which not only fueled his power hunger but also led to him becoming classist. he even felt ashamed of his mother when she offered him counsel and to join him in war, rejecting her because of her former occupation as a "whore." it was a chilling development in cesare's character and honestly he became more interesting to me than he was in the first two seasons.

"One thing that I've always said about Juan is that every action that he does is heartfelt and genuine. When it was the war against the French, he was there and he was going to go to war, even though he knew he was going to die. He saw them getting ripped apart, but he was there and he was going to do it. I believe if Lucrezia hadn't come over, he would have led all his troops into death. I don't think there's anything that he's done which was through general cowardice. In terms of his survival, he died how he lived, and that's laudable, in itself." - David Oakes

rodrigo sending juan to war against the troops definitely (and rightfully) triggered cesare because juan has no idea what the hell he is doing and even though juan is incompetent, he never asked for the position he was given, but he tried his best to fulfill his responsibilities. like when he showed bravery by willingly risking his life against the french, even after his troops were torn apart in front of his eyes, insisting to lucrezia that he would never accept defeat and that he will keep fighting because he'll never let king charles of france destroy rome and get rid of their father, but only surrendered because the prospect of him dying would upset lucrezia, and lucrezia told him she already had a plan to prevent this.

"It’s interesting that Juan’s attempt at relieving pain is through closeness and hugging and love. When he forgives Cesare at the end saying how they’re brothers and wants to be together, I think that’s genuine. That’s the first time you realize what he’s always wanted." - David Oakes

juan felt deeply isolated because he never had a peer, and unfortunately, he was too weak and succumbed to his darkness, impulsiveness, and insecurities. he had a deep love for his family, but he lost himself in the pressure of the role and even committed heinous acts to prove himself, unaware that it would make his siblings hate him. all he wanted was to be included in their world. however, he struggled intensely in expressing his feelings, which led to him being shunned. it is tragic because ultimately he longed to feel like a 'true' borgia and have a close relationship with his family, especially with cesare. but the lack of moral guidance and the weight of expectations pushed him to behave inappropriately, resulting in everyone pushing him away and his death going unmourned except by his father, the one's responsible for his failure and feels guilty for it.

byeeee i really went on and on answering this oops sorry zaynab!!! anyway i hope these insights help lol

[atherea]

so I have a ragbros au that has been stuck in my drafts for a YEAR and I dont think I'll ever finish it but here's the basic idea:

Kaeya tells Diluc he's a spy 4 or so years before Crepus dies but while trying to properly recall what happened on the night he was found, realises that due to fucky Khaenriah Time™, his birthday was actually the year before Diluc's, making him the older brother.

Diluc attempts fratricide that day but its bc his dumb little brother (no matter what he's trying to say rn) is calling HIM the little brother. HIM. after he used to practise Mond's language with him and taught him how to ride a horse and showed him where the best grapes you could snack on were. the fucking AUDACITY he has

while they playfight, Kaeya has like a big resolution, all 'i love all i have and i don't want to lose this, i want to live like this, surrounded by my loved ones who love me for who i am' and gets his cryo vision. Kaeya hasn't gotten a hold of his vision yet and there's a massive explosion of ice that he made out of excitement

Diluc runs to his brother and it's like 'oh hey I've got a vision now!' but everything around them is frozen solid, and Diluc and Kaeya frantically try to cover it up with diluc's vision but makes it worse because, yknow, fire + plants = burning (14 year old ragbros also have a deep rooted fear of adelindes wrath, so the first instinct is not a calm logical approach, but rather what goes through their head is 'how do we fix this, adelinde is going to beat our asses')

After they somehow resolve the burning issue:

“Pick one.”

“What?”

“You can either be taller than me or older than me. Not both. Pick one.”

Kaeya splutters. “Luc, I can’t exactly control my height.”

Diluc gives him a smug smile in return. “Thank you for acknowledging my seniority then.”

“Wha- hey! No, that’s not fair!”

“It was either that or disownment.” Diluc, the re-asserted older brother says.

“You wouldn’t.” He gasps, affronted. “Father won’t let you, that’s mean, Diluc.”

“Sucks to suck, little brother.”

Diluc ends up explaining everything to Crepus, bc Kaeya got nervous again, and he hugs them both, kisses Kaeya on the head and throws a huge celebration for "his youngest getting a vison." Diluc is very smug. Kaeya is only slightly vindicated.

(edit: wrote a little more lol)

fav lyrics from champagne? (bet you'll choose that gold shit line)

ANON HELP YOU ALREADY KNOW ME SO WELL... ok, so i actually love this song so much, it's so funny hshshsh. my favourite lyrics:

how do you get this gold shit off - i know it's probably not funny out of context but believe me, it is the funniest line from the entire musical & i am dying every single time i hear it

before we both leave town, before the corner changes & the signs are taken down, let's walk around the neighbourhood & say our goodbyes - even tho the song is funny there is something so incredibly sad in this particular line

you get everyone addcited to your coffee then off you go/vanessa, i don't know why you're mad at me/i wish i was mad... - & THEY KISS - i'm just too late... - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

bonus: i wanted to give you another reunion concert video but this one is better:

you know the soul-grinding crush of being perceived as One Of Those Mean Man - Hating Fucking Bitches who’s just Too Sensitive just because you made the mildest critique of the patriarchy and/or Exist as a lesbian in ANY capacity. really been getting to me lately while watching the absolute State of online feminism recently

U mean U and the others (unholy trinity of Tsaritsa simps) did drag me down a wormhole of oc-ing an existing character with lore and yet still making it adapt to your fic.

in my defense her lore is extremely vague descriptions by other people (who may be biased. staring directly at childe. staring very hard at childe.) and like. the gem description im just working with what i got. also i don't trust hoyo to write my wife correctly so as far im concerned anything they write abt her isn't canon until i approve it /j
