“…In jealousy there is more of self-love than of love to another.” — François de La Rochefoucauld, The Moral Maxims and Reflections.

#these two smh #i'm so normal about them #cesare outshining juan by every turn yet juan didn't hate him for it because like i said he doesn't care #juan wanting a close bond with him but he was too afraid of being rejected by him #like his tragedy is that he always terrified he's on the outside #and that makes him act out in resentment and jealousy #now don't let me speak on cesare's jealousy which is fucking irritatinggggg #like oh no your dad gave your younger brother a position that he's incompetent in so let's direct all the anger on the brother #and not the father who actually bestowed him with it and set him up to fail *yawns* #anyway i miss these unhinged bros #juan and cesare #juan borgia #cesare borgia #david oakes #the borgias #theborgiasedit #perioddramaedit #tvedit #francois arnaud #by jen
