"It’s interesting that Juan’s attempt at relieving pain is through closeness and hugging and love. When he forgives Cesare at the end saying how they’re brothers and wants to be together, I think that’s genuine. That’s the first time you realize what he’s always wanted." (x)

#“I glimpse us cesare. two brothers in harmony. walking together.” #francois saying cesare refused to listen to juan because he *knows* he can change his mind about killing him still living in my mind #something about cesare humilating juan and making fun of him and even set him up to die at forli by not warning him about ludovico's army #and yet juan still loves him anyway because his jealousy of cesare is unserious unlike cesare's jealousy of juan which is a deadly hatred #ngl juan is so funny because he'd rather die than being sappy. he's too narcissistic and prideful to reach out for cesare or his family #but he only reached out to him in his final moment when he was vulnerable and going through it. it was too late rip #confessing to cesare that he's a fuck-up and he's always been in pain etc i missed you we should love each other wah wah type of speech #juan borgia #cesare borgia #the borgias #juan and cesare #david oakes #francois arnaud #theborgiasedit #periodedits #perioddramaedit #tvedit #cinemapix #tvarchive #by jen

I genuinely wish Cesare and Juan's dynamic was explored more since their brotherly bickering, conflicts and competitiveness was absolutely interesting to watch, and Juan's immaturity is very balanced with Cesare's leadership, thanks to David Oakes and François Arnaud's natural and amazing chemistry. Juan's death being very rushed will always annoy me and the show was never the same without him, knowing that Juan's solution at relieving his pain is through closeness with Cesare and loving him. He just wanted to be a part of the family and at every turn they’ve not allowed him. They’ve always pushed him away. when he forgave Cesare at the end saying how they're brothers and wants to be together, It was genuine which makes Juan's death even sadder than ever that Cesare stabbed him when he was just opening up and wanted harmony between himself and Cesare.

#i glimpse us cesare two brothers in harmony walking together #cesare's attempt to relieve his pain through murder and fratricide oooh he's so deranged i love him and hate him at the same time #it just fucks me up how pathetic juan was to cesare and being embarrassing just for cesare to stab him like !??!?!?! #anyway let's go back to juan and cesare they're the best brothers of all time and we've been robbed of their reconciliation arc #rodrigo gives affection to juan but he trusts and depends on cesare while juan has never had the closeness cesare had with their family #juan borgia #cesare borgia #the borgias #david oakes #francois arnaud #françois arnaud #period drama #period dramas #text post #by jen

“Imagine that you are sitting on the edge of a vast well, your feet dangling over the edge. Moving slowly around the walls of the well, like smoke, there’s a world of wonders reaching down, as far down as the eye can see. These wonders are your life. I glimpse us, Cesare. Two brothers in Harmony walking together.”

#unhinged bros i miss them #i genuinely don't think juan ever hated cesare at all he was just in a low point in his life and was deeply insecured #like if anything his last scene proved that he needed someone to guide him bc he's a lost soul #we were actually robbed of juan and cesare bestfriendism era in s3 #david oakes #francois arnaud #françois arnaud #juan borgia #cesare borgia #the borgias #theborgiasedit #perioddramaedit #davidoakesedit #francoisarnaudedit #juan and cesare #by jen
