"Juan was more sensitive to personal injury, he had a cruel streak, and most of the time wore a sardonic expression. Still, Alexander was very fond of him, sensing in him a vulnerability that Cesare and Lucrezia did not have."
— Mario Puzo, The Family.

Chloe vs Shara from Casey McQuiston’s I Kissed Shara Wheeler for Femslash February day 26: Fight 🗡️
Because they couldn’t have written this scene without hoping somebody would draw it
“Sometimes, when Chloe is stressed, she pictures herself in another life.
Not as somebody else. She imagines herself in a universe where she gets to be cool and super hot and everybody appreciates how capable and smart she is, like if she were a vampire hunter in Edwardian England. It’s a coping strategy, okay?
She tries to calm down as she drives to school by imagining herself at a fancy banquet, whipping up silk skirts to reveal a dagger strapped to her thigh before she flicks it across the room, straight into the wall an inch from vampire Shara’s face.
It doesn’t work….”

"Juan Borgia was almost as tall as Cesare, but slighter of build. Like his brother and father, he was an attractive man but with a difference. He had the slightly slanted eyes and high cheekbones of his Spanish ancestors. His skin was bronzed from his long hours of riding and hunting but there was often a look of suspicion in his widely set dark eyes."
— Mario Puzo, The Family.
