listen. listen, there's a kind of intimacy in having a dedicated rivalry, okay. who else is going to know you like this!!! also it's funny

Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini

Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw

and on della rovere’s soldier comment:

Popes, Cardinals and War: The Military Church in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe, D.S. Chambers

and finally! regarding the delightful Mess of political-family relationships, including the marriage comment (altho the montefeltro family that giovanni married into did have sforza family ties, since giovanna's mother was battista sforza, but this is about the more immediate alliance based relationship and della rovere's hand in the rejection of a milanese match for his brother. and. this is not even remotely a serious comic, but now I am once again thinking about insular all these families are. the fucking medicis are here too, if you go half a step to the left on della rovere's family tree)

Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw

Giulio II, Il papa del Rinascimento, Giulio Busi (Bianca Maria Visconti is Ascanio's mom. btw)

panel inserts of the cards they're playing with are all from the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck! (I used public domain scans/photos for the comic itself)

#weeping. ascanio's dialogue covers up della rovere's sleeve collar. i spent all that time drawing details on it and FOR WHAT #(it was fun) #there was another deleted bit where ascanio has some petty line like 'i bet arguing makes you hard' but then i realized #that's something that lucullus would probably say to crassus and also i need to set that line up for ascanio #we gotta. we gotta character build (lays down face in the ground) we have to provide the character set up for it #it's really more of a line for cesare to drop at some point over how much rodrigo and ascanio argued #shout out to the time rodrigo threatened to throw ascanio into the tiber river or that time ascanio like. decided to physically get into #a fight with juan borgia #and they were still gambling partners after that????? damn okay. sometimes the vice chancellor can be (checks note) im not finishing #that statement #komiks tag #italian renaissance tag #ascanio sforza #giuliano della rovere #i WILL get a relationship dynamic tag for them once i can figure out something punchy and fun. anyway! #ehgh. I NEED. to go to milan. and go thru the archives. let me in. LET ME INNNNNNNNN

"He's spent the entire time being picked upon and bullied by the family. I think personally from where Juan stands he sees the hypocrisy in the family, how they can do one thing and say another. As far as Juan is concerned he's always had the best interests of the family at heart, however misguided that might be and doesn't quite comprehend why nobody understands that. Nobody seems to understand that what he does, he does for the betterment of the Borgia clan and never waivers from that. He does that in ways that perhaps aren't sanctioned by the church or sanctioned by family law."

#oh spill the tea!! he truly believed he was doing something right. an impulsive sad lonely dude who doesn't think through #he was bestowed a position he never gave a fuck about in the first place because being a soldier is NOT what he wanted #he just wanted his family's love and affection. a simple i love you would've gone a long way #the way he teases cesare about being a cardinal because that's the only way to get his attention it's just a little brother thingie #and yet cesare took it way too personal lol crazy to me how cesare was the one who slowly destroyed juan before killing him #like how he forced his hand to murder djem and then slowly sabotaging him by mocking him constantly then setting him up to die at forli #by not informing him that ludovico's army was coming for his neck like even from a military stand point cesare ruined the forli mission fr #because he decided to prioritize his own jealousy of juan; humiliating him and hoping him to die so he can take his position as a soldier #the hypocrisy part is sooo tea because cesare killed juan in cold blood telling him that they're borgias and they never forgive #5 mins later he's begging rodrigo to forgive him for killing juan like bro was just saying that to dying juan to destroy him mentally first #i'm screaming he singlehandedly caused juan's spiraling into darkness. how are you gonna fuck up your brother that hard helpppp ?!!?!?! #fucked up dysfunctional family that i love #david oakes #juan borgia #the borgias #theborgiasedit #perioddramaedit #televisiongifs #tvedit #by jen

David looking utterly ravishable after a performance of Don Juan in Soho.

What I love about Howard McGillin's phantom is that when they join hands during Aminta's part in PONR, he yoinks her hands down to his chest

As a native Spanish speaker is so funny to me that Nicholas Galitzine speaks Spanish more fluently than Taylor Zakhar Pérez. I mean, whatever, I can understand Taylor not being super fluent in Spanish, it happens. But like... How did Nicholas end up not only being pretty fluent but also having such a distinct Spain Spanish accent??? How did that happen???

I tried searching Taylor speaking Spanish and I got more results for Nicholas instead 💀

I just find it so funny

#also most results for taylor were of him singing and first of all that's cheating! is not the same as speaking! #and most importantly I've seen that scene of him from the kissing booth #that Spanish is... flawed at best lol #i cringed so bad watching the scene in rwrb with Alex and miguel talking #because juan castano speaks perfect Spanish but Taylor's was so awkward omg why do they do this to these actors #only thing he said fluently was buenas noches cabrón #poor guy i mean the way they just box these actors based in their looks and last names #just let him do an american without having to be a López Peña Díaz etc or at least don't make him say anything in Spanish what's the point #btw no hate i definitely can understand why it's just so funny to me #also why the hell does nick Spanish with a Spanish accent lmao i guess it makes sense bc he's european but wtf is so distinct #i was not expecting it at all #this has been on my mind for months btw I'm normal about languages and accents #if you have any clips of taylor speaking spanish just let me know #genuinely thought it would be hot but all i find is songs

"There are moments where [Juan] manipulates other people in a similar the way they’ve been manipulating him. The scene between Jeremy and myself with the dagger is a last ditch frantic attempt at trying to win [Rodrigo] over." Do you think Juan was genuine in the knife scene? Do you think he would have killed himself? "Yeah I think so. He always does what is true inside him...It wasn’t simply about the eventual confrontation, but all about the richness of this twisted family make-up."

#top 5 scenes that changed the trajectory of my life #it's also the 1st time we see juan vulnerable (2nd time is his final scene where he confesses to ces about how messed up he is all his life #“we were betrayed father!” maybe if ces put his jealousy aside and helped his lil bro by letting him know about ludovico's army #he's so broken and tired. trying so hard to prove he's useful but he has a shitty luck and a jealous megalomaniac big brother #like even from a military stand point ces could've helped juan with the forli mission but noooo he wants juan humilated! #anyway. look at rodrigo being soft to his baby boy!!! he loves him immensely and trying to comfort him :( #david and jeremy not getting their emmy nominations doesn't sit right with me ngl #“i defend this family with my heart and my soul” i was really rooting for juan so bad because he was just a kid and he was Trying #it's why the people who view juan as some sort of villain are hypocritical and need to fuck off the show btw <3 #like he knows he's a fuck-up and the circumstances made him a fuck-up. no one gave him a damn chance. just ganging up on him lol #juan borgia #david oakes #jeremy irons #rodrigo borgia #the borgias #theborgiasedit #perioddramaedit #about juan #juan and rodrigo #by jen

Okay, found the inspiration for the Dior dress Anya Taylor-Joy was wearing for the Dune: Part Two London premiere.

It's the Hyménée dress by Marc Bohan for Dior. Unveiled (HA!) in the Haute Couture Spring/Summer 1961 collection. Designed as a bridal/wedding dress and worn by Maison Dior muse Kouka Denis aka Maria Gaspar.

Hyménée can refer to different things, but here it is a reference to marriage and nuptial bonds, refering back to the Greek god of marriage, Hymen.

Upon research for the term I also stumbled upon this painting which was inspired by the wedding chant, Catallus 62, by Roman poet Catallus [https://ancient-literature.com/catullus-62-translation/]:

Juan Luna: Hymen, oh Hyménée!, ca. 1886–87, oil on canvas, 1.25 m × 2.505 m, Ayala Museum (on loan), Philippines.

This painting is called Hymen, oh Hyménée!, and is a direct reference to Catallus 62, and depicts a bridal scene, more specifically the Roman wedding ritual of the bride entering the groom's house. It is by Filipino painter Juan Luna who exhibited it in Paris in the late 19th century.

So, to conclude: Referring back to my first thought that the dress looks like a nod to Holy Mary (or because of the sheerness :D more like Mary Magdalene in the eyes of conservative Christianity and their narrow ideas of what a woman is and should be presented in regard to the whole "Madonna - Whore - Complex"*) and regardless of when the Roman wedding ritual was first enacted (pre Christianity or not), marriage was seen as something sacred and surrounded a lot of purification and devotion rituals. So there is reference upon reference to be found here and kind of manifested in a way in this dress.

What do you guys think? Let me know :)
