i wish you could cite goodreads reviews as sources on wikipedia quite frankly. like i understand that theyre below the usual standard for sources but i have a burning need to spell out how much "The Borgias: The Hidden History" by GJ Meyers fucking sucks nasty donkey balls, and there's very few reviews for it that arent from goodreads 💀

I really have been cycling between Wars of the Roses stuff, Tudor stuff, and Borgia stuff. Like medieval crop rotation, for everything there is a season.

all this francois arnaud posting in my dash is going to make me rewatch the borgias, i can’t see him without wanting to see cesare kiss his luminous sister

Hm… Tumblr needs more historical Micheletto posting. I guess if no one else will do it, we’ll see what I can dig up

Do you think you’d do alright in a modern group chat, or would that give you anxiety?

Do you mean in a group discussion, like at a party? If I’m quiet, it’s not because I’m anxious. It’s my duty to guard, not to speak. Besides, there are many people who would happily spin my words into rumors.

I’m more talkative at home. Cesare says I give him a headache, but I know he would have stabbed me by now if he meant it.
