And we haven’t even gotten into the Rodrigo/Lucrezia (mouth-kissing! cuddling in sleepwear!) and Vannozza/Cesare (do NOT insult his mother, Bonadeo)! Borgias is absolutely equal-opportunity incest.
OH MAN I suddenly remember your Vannozza posts and fanning her before I was even aware of the show’s existence aww yeeeaaaah period inceset
to be fair, the gay is more subtle/restrained than the in-your-face “let me stroke your cheek once more, lucrezia”, but they’re both enjoyable.
awww yea multiple incests i am so sold i am so soiled
in a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws
and mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours
(via jorahmormonting)
wait wait, these two are *brothers*? just how many incestuous pairings are there in this show (said with a leer)?
@getlouder i blame you

risforrini asked: i was just about to ask how your feelings slanted towards pete this week...
i am impressed that matt weiner was able to stumble my 24-7 adoration of pete, but offering one’s coworker as a sexual party favor to secure an account was disgusting and unnecessary — whoring out Joan would not have guaranteed landing Jaguar, and as Don pointed out, SCDP could have relied on the strength of its creative pitch to get the two out of three votes necessary.
Pete is going into a destructivo rabbit hole because he needs the heat and hunger of the city, and because he needs to need. He’s financially and professionally secure, with an astute wife and an adorable baby. His two office heroes/crushes/husbands, Don and Peggy, are seemingly settled and satisfied — Don is blowing off work to spend more time with Megan; Peggy doesn’t have any significant creative triumphs in the season until her on-the-fly presentation for the French cologne company. In reality, Pete’s back *isn’t* against the wall; it’s just his mind that is closing in on him.

dude, two weeks ago Theon Greyjoy ordered the torture and burning of two orphan boys to conceal his failure at hunting down the lordling hostages whose family he betrayed, and I still feel more warmly towards him than I do for you right now
pretend this is lucid because my feeling-generating mechanisms have scutted into potshards with stick drawings of flippy-haired copywriters and beehived/queenhived partners:
This is Atia in the series finale of Rome, the empress at the triumph, perfumed & burnished & resplendent against the roar of the unknowing rabble. Only instead of Marc Antony’s charred remains on display, the corpse is Joan’s — her belief that the SCDP heads respected her for her intelligence, her belief that her bodily autonomy is more important than any account. Pete Campbell oozes to her of Cleopatra and the man who buys her calls her Helen of Troy, and there are so many names, so many names that all mean the same thing. This is her prize: Her silent coronation as a partner, a supposed equal to these men who abided her prostituting herself, these men who voted on a cash amount to buy her assent, these men who will alternately pity and disdain her for what she has done. A supposed equal to men who are inferior to her in every way.
So the else-proclaimed Whore Queen turns with ashes smeared into her lips and catches Peggy walking away, coat in left hand, thermos in right, plain and lithe and free, this wayward stoneborn protege who never did purr or hiss but sat haunch-side and roared.
And Joan, lashed to the ground in emeralds and gold, prays with grief/envy/pride that feels like grief, Take me with you.

my name is fannish and i have a crossover problem. most pronounced fandoms = Game of Thrones, Mad Men, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey, and numerous damaged pretty things. Pete Campbell is my favorite dish, with Thomas Barrow sprinkled on top. also on LJ and AO3.
As a man, I have no problem with women generalizing men...
