[uconnwbbcrashout]

p’s mom spending christmas eve with the fudds is just so special man 🥲 like they really are Locked In 🤞

[sforzesco]

ALSO a Pazzi woman married Braccio Martelli which makes me scream because Lorenzo CANONICALLY did SINS with said Braccio

shshdh I LOVE that phrasing so much

but also oh my god I knew about the Sins™️ but I didn’t know about Martelli’s marriage to a Pazzi….this is incredible, I am thinking thoughts, I need to turn this around in my head for a month minimum…..

also context for people who would like to know about Martelli and Lorenzo:

Magnifico: the Brilliant Life and Times of Lorenzo de' Medici, Miles J. Unger

Still mad 546 years later...

Every time I go back to read about the Pazzi Conspiracy, I can't help feeling so sad for both Lorenzo and Giuliano. Giuliano was an all around good guy, wasn't really involved in politics (maybe bc Lorenzo was worried he wouldn't be able to handle it), kind-hearted, and friendly to everyone around him. He didn't have to die in such a brutal way. Lorenzo, I can kind of understand why (don't support it tho), since most of the diplomacy and dealings were through/with him. But just imagine Lorenzo finding out that his little brother who was largely the most innocent of them, was the one killed; not him (even though, he, as the older sibling, should have protected Giuliano).

I can't imagine the survivor's guilt Lorenzo had after the whole thing. And don't get me started on how Giuliano's killers (his so-called "friends" Bernardo and Francesco) personally went to get him to come to church and even hugged/joked with him as friends do to check if he was wearing armor and to let his guard down. I mean, no shit, he thought you guys were his friends! The Medici must have known there were ppl who had a grudge against them, but Giuliano never judged those guys and still trusted them wtf

If the team did a blind deaf and mute challenge who do you think would be what?

the 3 people imma choose are paige, azzi, and their child ice 😛

for blind i'd choose paige, cause homegirl is already blind so she'll be fine, and so that she wont just stare at princess the whole time smh like yes i know shes beautiful paige but dayum at least hide your staring a bit

for mute i'd choose ice so that home girl wont start yapping and then get put on another ban 🥲☹️

and for deaf i'd choose princess so that she doesnt have to hear any yapping from paige or silent bickering from ice and so she can be relaxed and actually focus on the challenge 😁

[imaginespazzi]

why do I feel like the first time (after she promises to stay!!!) Paige says no to Stephie begging for junk food she is going to look at Azzi like “You seein this? You impressed? You turned on?” And you know what? She will be.

Do y'all know that one scene from Modern Family? Where Phil finally puts his foot down with Haley because she got arrested and Claire's just watching the whole thing and looks so proud, yeah that's basically what I imagine the scene would go like the first time Paige manages to discipline Stephie (but like Stephie wouldn't get arrested ofc)

[all-is-fair-in-love-and-war]

Francesco and Clarice were friends and you can't change my mind

Clarice helping with Francesco's marriage

Francesco being Piero's godfather

Francesco shutting down ANY violence towards Clarice

They were friends.

Person: Why do you keep comparing Lorenzo the Magnificent to Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift? Me:

[onetrueartform]

TIL Bianca and Guglielmo went on to have SIXTEEN children. 16!!!

[woodsteingirl]

it’s so annoying when you’re reading something and they tell back at you something someone supposedly did, and it reads as automatically suspicious but they don’t make any note of where it comes from.

Something about the Pazzi conspiracy never fails to rattle me. The way it was planned. The way they chose the church. The spot. The way the younger Medici was assassinated. It never fails to make me afraid of humans and the harsh reality.

Giuliano de Medici was too young to die. The way they were subjected to assassination.....in their own church...in the midst of a mass.....stabbed to death and yet left to live and suffer a slow painful drawn out death and then being discovered by the family and especially Lorenzo...

I think ghosts and spirits get a bad name and reputation in vain while the actual horror is done by mere mortal humans
