Towards the beginning of Conclave when Lawrence asks Benitez to bless their meal, Benitez starts the prayer in English and then switches to and ends the prayer in Spanish which is the exact same way that he delivers his monologue toward the end of the film in response to Tedesco’s rant about blaming Muslims for the bombings that happened and starting a religious war.

oh you gotta be KIDDING me

thinking today about what the Bellini-Benitez relationship might be like post the events of Conclave. your mentor (?) had a secret backup plan made with the knowledge that you'd probably fuck up in his hopes/expectations for you and never told you about it. your best friend thinks this plan-guy is incredible. also maybe he is? at the very least everything you spent your life working for is probably saved even if you couldn't be the one who did it. and also being Pope probably would have destroyed you in the end and secretly you're relieved there was a good option that wasn't you. but what does he think of you? what was your mentor telling him?

I've been thinking about the moment Lawrence tells Bellini about his papal name "John. I would choose John".

On one hand the words of Conclave writer Edward Berger bounce around in my head like a windows xp saving screen: "Lawrence admits he has harbored that ambition, that he has prepared his name. It's true what Bellini said about him. It's true about all of them -- except for one person, of course."

And on the other hand it's such a tender little moment. Lawrence could just, not say it and retain the moral high ground literally forever. And as always, always, he chooses to step down, and comfort his longtime confident and friend by looking at him, holding his hands and telling him "look. I'm down here in the muck with the rest of you. With you." And also, perhaps even more importantly "you did not read me wrong. You do, know me."

do you think when bellini and tedesco are fucking that sometimes they both moan lawrence’s name accidentally. and then they’re just staring at each other like “what??” “what??” while tedesco is balls deep in bellini

I’ve been briefly sequestered this winter and during my time I and a few other cardinals have created holy imagery 😔🙏🏾 aka check out the Conclave zine I’m in! You can get lots of holy imagery and fics! Most of the proceeds will be going to charity
