It's so bittersweet that Juan was the only one who felt Cesare's constant pain, and he was glad he found something to relate to with his brother, with a relieved smile. He found solace in the fact that he could empathize with him as he endured pain all the time as well, albeit for different reasons. I wonder if he ever knew whether Cesare's suffering stemmed from being trapped in a cardinal's robe and not having a career as a soldier. Also, you can see the frustration and conflict on Cesare's face, as if he doesn't want to kill his brother but he has to since Juan became a liability and would eventually bring the family down with him, especially after Juan's descent into addiction, illness, and madness. Cesare is driven by the desire to preserve the family and because he wanted Juan's undeserved position as a Gonfaloniere. All in all, these two tormented brothers were trapped in their father's vicious cycle of favoritism and ambitions, which caused the tragic ending of their brotherhood when they could have been brothers in arms.

#francois: “[cesare] didn’t want to talk anymore because he knew juan could change his mind. It was hard for cesare to kill his brother.”#david: “juan apologizes to his brother and gives his heart to him and he still gets stabbed and thrown off a bridge.”#the way juan looks at cesare in the 3rd gif and the s7th...he loves him so much i'm jumping off the balcony actually #the bittersweetness was overshadowed by tragedy after cesare murdered him #rodrigo borgia when i catch you for fucking up your sons' lives #“you would end your pain?” “yes."#david: “juan’s attempt at relieving pain is through closeness and hugging and love...#...cesare’s attempt to relieve pain is through murder and fratricide...#...when he forgives cesare at the end saying how they’re brothers and wants to be together. i think that’s genuine.”#anyway i miss them #juan borgia #david oakes #francois arnaud #cesare borgia #the borgias #juan and cesare #tvedit #perioddramaedit #dailytvfilmgifs #by jen
