And also I think the relationship with Lucrezia hopefully grows into something more mature and not necessarily easier, but more of an adult relationship, less childish and innocent.

More of an adult relationship, OK.
[Laughs.] No, not in that way!

I didn't say anything!
Well you thought it. I heard you.

Yes, Francois...yes...I thought it too. ;) Thank you for sharing!

[sherrilina]

It's like he can ~read minds~ or something...:p ;)

I do kind of love how completely aware they all are of the fact that most of fandom ships him with his sister...I loved the one quote where he was saying fans always ask him about "leather pants and incest" lol.

Pay attention, producers!

[reina_ursa]

Oh those leather pants...*lusts*

LOL

I seriously don't know if I can hold out for season 3! It needs to be here NOW! :p

[sherrilina]

Yes, they are nice, though I'm currently in mourning for the red cardinal gear...;_;

And yeah, I feel like after this finale (with all that happened, the C/L, and the CLIFFHANGERHOWCANYOUENDITTHERE), the wait for s3 is going to be a lot harder! :/ God they haven't even started filming yet...*sigh*

Me too, as soon as I saw that scene in the show (SLOOOW MOOO WALLLLK!) I was dying for a gif...this one comes from here.

I'm sure hoping that your first option is it! I am readly loving the glimpses of that we got this season...I'd love to see more of Cesare tutoring her in ~poison and murder, growing into darkness in tandem...though I do want to see some jealousy of Alfonso as well! But not so much conflict...:/

[peak_in_darien]

[sherrilina]

I suppose...though I do wish Lucrezia would examine her own feelings and see something more than sisterly there (along the lines of "I will never love a husband.."). But yeah, a confrontation where he all but admits his feelings, even by implication...though she should really know from that fisherman fantasy if nothing else! ;)

It would be awesome if the last few epps are building up to an incest rumors storyline next season.

And beautiful icon, btw! <33

He totally ships them...LOL or that's just me projecting. I'm so excited for this "adult" relationship because it totally means they're both going to be darker. And I LOVE it. I want to see them band together and take out their revenge on the world.

Gahh Francois is just so...idk, ovary-explosion-inducing. Like he obviously has a sense of humor, but there's also this dark side to him. Perfect combination. And ooooh that gif, work it. I don't even care that he's in a dress that hides most of his body.

[sherrilina]

I wonder about how he feels about C/L sometimes...like, some quotes are so shippy, others not. He at least seems to like their bond, if not ship them romantically, though he seems eager for it to change. I hope your interpretation is right, because I do want to see that more, what we began to see in 2x09. Though I do want cute adorableness too at times, like the fisherman fantasy or sweet forehead touching dancing...and calling her "my love". :/

Agreed about Francois, unf! I'm so glad this role has introduced me to him--I definitely want to check out his Civil War movie coming out! Can he and Holliday star in a movie as love interests and make out a lot? Never have I seen such natural chemistry.

I don't even care that he's in a dress that hides most of his body.

I think he can werk it more when he can have robes billowing behind him to accompany his hair bounce...;)

[butterbadger]

Yeah, I'm not totally sure how he feels either, but I'm sort of thinking that even if he does ship them, he can't really come out and say it because of the whole incest aspect. Which I completely understand. I'm trying to read between the lines but I might be reading too much into what he says. But I'm totally on board with the leather pants and incest thing haha.

The chemistry between him and Holliday is incredible and they're just such a perfect contrast for each other. I would totally buy that movie and marathon it for days.

[cranmers]

Thanks for posting this!

I figure it means he keeps her less in the dark?

Also yes their relationship seems tres easy to me!

LOL catwalk!

[artemis_a23]

I can't wait for season 3!

[sherrilina]

Lol perfect gif use is perfect! :D I love that expression so much, like he's actually...roaring? :p
