173 | on The Borgias
Watched The Borgias. Enjoyed The Borgias. Shipping Cesare/Lucrezia now.
I couldn’t really pull myself away long enough to writing a proper entry about my reactions while watching it, and even got distracted from taking notes partway through the first season, so I can’t rely on anything like that to pull together an initial reaction post.
I will say that I did like more about it than just Cesare/Lucrezia, but they were my favorite part about the show—and the reason why I watched it, in fact, as I knew that they’d be canon in the third season. What no one told me was just how shippy they were even in the very beginning.
The few notes I managed to take before I got completely lost in the story, all from the first season:
I’m not really a big fan of television, and it’s definitely not the kind of medium that I usually get fannish about, so I don’t know how attached I’ll be to this as a fandom in the long-term. But this pairing does really appeal to me in an iddy way.

The few notes I managed to take before I got completely lost in the story, all from the first season:
- the spying, the face-touching, the “my love”, the “I will cut out his heart with a dinner knife and hand it to you”, the “I don’t think I can ever love a husband as much as you”, his faithful tending in her heartbreak/illness, his refusal to help juan kill djem because of her fondness for him, HE CARRIES HER AWAY BRIDAL STYLE FROM HER OWN WEDDINGWhich express my feelings about the matter well enough, I think?
- end of season one SHE RECOGNIZES HIM BY HIS HANDS ALONE
