woof, i know the borgias was one of the more prestige-y series to come out from that time, but good grief, compared to the more expensive shows now you can actually see the budget put to good use on sceen. not only the gorgeous costumes where there is a lot of textual complexity with embroidery and different textiles, but everything is lit to show the actors well.
Also all the hair and wigs look good 😩
#the borgias#borgia rewatch#like most scenes holliday grainger is in looks like a painting#this is mainly talking from a production stand point only too

the little details and subtleties in this show go so hard like this scene for instance, when rodrigo said he's glad that juan was born and finally giving cesare a brother, juan immediately turns to cesare with an anticipatory gaze, expecting acknowledgment or perhaps even a heartwarming moment. but instead, cesare goes to pat gioffre’s head, leaving juan disheartened as he turns his head down feeling ignored at a time when he sought connection...
#the fucking texture of this scene SUCKS but tried my best to make their expressions clear i guess???#everything about these brothers' relationship is profoundly sad tbh it's built on aggression out of misconceptions#the way he expected a little bonding moment naurrrr#dysfunctional families and doomed siblings you will always be loved by me#honestly it's little stuff like that make the show worth rewatching#because even tiny moments like that hold emotional weight#the borgias#juan borgia#cesare borgia#rodrigo borgia#jeremy irons#francois arnaud#david oakes#tvedit#perioddramaedit#usereverything#juan and cesare#text post

still insane to me that neil jordan wrote this scene and then got into a fight with françois arnaud because he was playing the role with too much sexual tension
#the borgias#cesare x lucrezia#robyn#i mean.......you started the scene with her watching him fuck and you didn't think there was anything strange about that????#emilio rewatches the borgias#mine#msc#tbsc

Some kind of "everything is the same but fashion is more XV-XVIth century inspired" AU - part 1/?
(a few elements are based on Landsknecht armors/clothing, because they were mercenaries too, you know? But I've been kind and made the palette less... Everything. You're welcome, Fenris.)
#Now I want those green sleeves so bad#Anyway I'm not aiming for perfect accuracy - it's funnier to take inspiration and then be creative with it imho#And this is why you are not getting Fenris in bright yellow/red striped clothes today - but I can be persuaded#Btw!! DA2 is such a renaissance story/narrative#Ask me more about it at your peril#I think this is also subconsciously due to the fact that I was doing a Borgia rewatch while playing it for the first time#One year ago :')#clip studio paint#mixed media art#sketch#dragon age fanart#da fanart#Dragon age#Fenris#dragon age fenris#da2#digital illustration#csp#da2 fenris

@medievalandfantasymelee
Propaganda for Mark Ryder's Cesare. He is hot. But more importantly he is a melodramatic ambitious disaster of a poor little meow meow.
in this scene he just chased a man into the room and killed him in front of his father the pope and all the other cardinals and mic drop quits being a cardinal after splashing murder blood on pope daddy.
Plus the requisite Vibes with Lucrezia
okay the last picture is just because I love the scenes with the bunny they cuddle whenever they go to be melodramatic at their mom's house
#cesare borgia#borgia#borgia faith and fear#medievalandfantasymelee#i should rewatch this show looking at screenshots made me nostalgic#long post#gifs

“I was born with a stain. A mark. Like the mark of Cain. But it is the mark of my father, my family. The mark of Borgia. I have tried to be other than I am, and I have failed”
Vs
“I have been in pain, Cesare, for all my years. And you…You are in pain brother, I can feel it”
I’m so :( about the fact that Juan is the one to recognize Cesare’s pain as present and inherent as his. Like Cesare has tried to explain it without it bringing the result he was hoping for in the context with Ursula…but Juan despite his addiction and the fact that he’s become dangerous for the family, has these moments of clarity and in that scene he lets him know he sees him exactly as he is, recognizes that mark they both bear…ironically Cesare being seen, even though he’s wanted it, doesn’t do anything to change what’s to come
And the same way Cesare fails at being other than what he is, there is no brotherhood as a result of their pain, only more failure for them…It drives me a little bit crazy that they couldn’t bond over it. It’s very much “all this time we could’ve been friends”
#but maybe Juan is also dangerous because of that clarity 🤓#this is so Jaime trying to bond with Tyrion over a truth that NO LONGER SERVES ANY PURPOSE#the other brother is too embedded with his own bitterness etc etc it’s too late#i think I’m becoming a Juan truther this rewatch ☝️#the borgias

unfortunately i keep rewatching the borgias tidbits and being like 'how do i make this about the targaryens' and most of the time it's too easy tbh
#the one scene where cesare is carrying lucrezia after paolo dies and#the 'i want to die' 'no' 'i want to die brother' 'will you not talk like that please' followed by her repeating 'i want to die'#and his trying to convince her by talking about the baby and her saying 'then we must both die. like paolo'#big post b&c mood#lucrezia falling asleep on her wedding feast while there are actors performing a bawdy play sort of thing#helaena would tbh#honestly other characters and dialogue too#juan going 'do you love me brother' and cesare answering 'i would kill for you' and juan saying 'but do you /love/ me'#is a little aegon and aemond coded ngl#* out of character: { dreamfyre stan }#i got totally sidetracked from everything i meant to do by the borgias rip#i think i'll do a proper rewatch..#not today but. soon

"I love the fact that Juan can wind Cesare up like nothing else. So it starts off like that - quite jovial, quite fun, quite charming, quite light and frothy." x
#rewatching season 1 is always fun because they were just dorks bickering and nothing serious#juan is so insufferble yet so adorable lmao#also goddamn their chemisty is crazy#david and francois weren't kidding#juan and cesare#david oakes#juan borgia#cesare borgia#francois arnaud#the borgias#theborgiasedit#periodedits#perioddramaedit#perioddramacentral#tvedit#dailytvfilmgifs#cinemapix#weloveperioddrama#tvarchive#by jen

I was trying to be kinder to Juan and his failure at Forli, since I've never really considered Cesare's decision not to pass intel about Milan moving on it, but what kind of idiot, educated in warfare, doesn't watch his own back during a siege, especially if his opponent has powerful family all over the country?!

🙄 Cesare and Micheletto plotted and killed to protect Rodrigo from accusations of public lechery, then he goes and shows up with his mistress at Lucrezia’s very public wedding. Wtf Rodrigo?
