LOL WHAT WOULD YOU TITLE THOSE BOOKS, LUCREZIA?  WHAT?

“Accidents Happen: Or, How I Seduced a Groom and Got Him to Break My Husband’s Leg”, by Lucrezia Borgia.

“Abelard and Heloise: Or, Stalking’s Okay When it’s Between You and Your Proxy!Sister”, by Cesare Borgia with annotations by Lucrezia Borgia Because He’s a Codependent Loser

# AND THEN THEY BECAME RUNAWAY BESTSELLERS BECAUSE RODRIGO MADE IT LAW TO BUY THE BOOK # EVEN IF YOU CAN ONLY AFFORD TO EAT DIRT # YOU STILL HAVE TO BUY THESE BOOKS # OR ELSE YOU’LL GO TO HELL # RODRIGO OUT

Which means that I get to rewatch the entire season, aw yeah.

But like

In episode 6

When Lucrezia returns and calls Cesare’s name

And he turns to the guy he was talking to and is like, “Excuse me, Cardinal.”

The Cardinal just goes

“Oh, yes.”

Oh, yes.  Cardinal Borgia is going to completely disregard the valuable spiritual lesson again in favor of cuddle time with his sister.

Oh, yes.  Cardinal Borgia is going to go tell Lucrezia about that one time he slept with a nun.

Oh, yes.  Cardinal Borgia is leaving me to go star in a Harlequin romance novel with his sister.

Oh, yes.  Cardinal Borgia is going to embarrass us.  Again.

OH, YES. CARDINAL BORGIA IS LEAVING ME TO GO STAR IN A HARLEQUIN ROMANCE NOVEL WITH HIS SISTER.

whatsthis-:

Interviewer: You mentioned incest briefly. A lot of fans just love the relationship between Cesare and Lucrezia. What do you think of that relationship and will we see more of them in the upcoming season?

David Oakes: I think it’s a very fine line. I think Francois [Arnaud] and Holliday [Grainger] play it perfectly. I mean what is incest and are they actually being incestuous or are they just really close? I would say that all that incest is in the audience’s mind and they should stop being so filthy. [laughs]

Interviewer: They have a really great chemistry though.

David Oakes: Oh it’s beautiful isn’t it? I mean they get on so, so well on set and it comes across. I think with the second season you see that built upon. And I think I’m allowed to say now that you see the return of Paolo, Luke Pasqualino. He pops back and so you see Lucrezia’s true love come back, who’s also the father of the child as well. So there’s a whole host of interesting storylines that come through that. Cesare’s relationship to Lucrezia is more sort of a lovely, paternal link and then there’s my link to that whole relationship, which is sort of less than savory.

#paternal link? NO ME GUSTA.
