#Juan for All

PERIOD DRAMA APPRECIATION WEEK 2024

⚜️ day three → favorite relationship(s)  — lucrezia/cesare/juan (the borgias 2011-2013 by neil jordan) "There’s a great little scene which we shot on the third from last day which is Juan in the opium den scene, looking up at the ceiling with the smoke everywhere where he says, “I think my brother and sister are having congress,” which is the first time anyone in the entire series. I mean the audience had been thinking that for awhile that something twisted was going on between them and the fact that Juan is aware of this and concerned by this is quite an interesting one. I don’t think he’s jealous of them being together. I think he’s jealous of not being a part of it as well. 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. He just wants to be a part of the family and at every turn they’ve not allowed him. They’ve always pushed him away which is a great a shame."

listen. listen, there's a kind of intimacy in having a dedicated rivalry, okay. who else is going to know you like this!!! also it's funny

Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw

and on della rovere’s soldier comment:

Popes, Cardinals and War: The Military Church in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe, D.S. Chambers

and finally! regarding the delightful Mess of political-family relationships, including the marriage comment (altho the montefeltro family that giovanni married into did have sforza family ties, since giovanna's mother was battista sforza, but this is about the more immediate alliance based relationship and della rovere's hand in the rejection of a milanese match for his brother. and. this is not even remotely a serious comic, but now I am once again thinking about insular all these families are. the fucking medicis are here too, if you go half a step to the left on della rovere's family tree)

Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw

Giulio II, Il papa del Rinascimento, Giulio Busi (Bianca Maria Visconti is Ascanio's mom. btw)

panel inserts of the cards they're playing with are all from the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck! (I used public domain scans/photos for the comic itself)

Someone gave the idiot the Apple Pencil again 😭

I haven’t drawn or posted art in a hot minute and because I wanted to drawn other people’s ocs more than mine I said fuck it and did multiple. Plus I had to pay Fishii back because I can’t remember if I paid you back with my writing or art. I get paranoid about debt that isn’t even real.

Alright here’s who we got:

Áila- @tazahan congrats Ionnah has paid a visit

Jun- @redara

Cahya- @fishiiwasdrawing Pipsqueak is not easy to get rid of. He is a little spy with a goal

Katalyn- @mary-saccharine

Kris- well it’s mine duh

Now there is a tiny bit of lore that goes with this. See, Kris really, really, REALLY, wants to beat Bi-Han up. But there are too many members of the Lin Kuei that could easily trip her up cough all your ocs cough. With little control of her abilities still, she puts herself at risk of being, to put it kindly, fucked over. The stress of the situation even has the spirits acting up. It’s just too…

Cold, Cold like the water from a river

It may be best to keep the enemy close and become friends in the meantime. This will help her in the long run. Now to return to the Shirai Ryu for extra guidance.

POMPEY & SULLA

Pompey, however, was not cowed, but bade Sulla reflect that more worshipped the rising than the setting sun, intimating that his own power was on the increase, while that of Sulla was on the wane and fading away

Plutarch, Pompey

political alliances are like bets, you know. sometimes you come out winning, sometimes the guy you were grooming to be your heir has ambitions beyond you and you can’t fully get rid of him. sometimes an alliance is like sharing a pomegranate, like a bad deal. hand in hand, & you’re stuck with them till the end of the line.
