One of my favorite things that I have noticed about Lorenzo and the Medici is that Lorenzo picks up his kids when they are little. Like they would run to him, and he wouldn't just hug them, no, he would pick them up and hold them. He wants to be a dad, he wanted to be a dad.

Lorenzo loved his kids, even his sons, even Piero, he just lost sight of how to be a dad. Okay, he lost sight of how to be a good person, but that's not the point.

In beauty of face no maiden ever equaled her. It was the radiance of an opium-dream - and airy and spirit-lifting vision more wildly divine than the phantasies which hovered about the slumbering souls of the daughters of Delos. Yet her features were not of that regular mould which we have been falsely taught to worship in the classical labors of the heathen. - Edgar Allan Poe, Ligeia

Okay so...I have a lot of thoughts about Maddalena cause well...reasons

Maddalena is both her father's and her mother's daughter. She I think is pretty evenly split between resembling both of them. She learned politics from her father, how to keep Florence safe, and how to look after the people. She learned her kindness, her decorum and her want to help people from her mother and a lot of things from both her parents.

A lot of people who meet Maddalena assume her to be much more her mother's daughter than her father's, something she uses to her advantage, sometimes leading people to underestimate her.

While Maddalena is very much both her parent's daughter, she knows in order to ensure the survival of her family and of Florence she needs to be more Lorezno's daughter than Clarice's.

Maddalena knows she must think like Lorenzo, she must be the one to be his successor, even if the title is what goes to her brother. She needs to think like him, act like him, to embrace the darker sides of her father that her mother balanced out. This is also not something Maddalena is always comfortable with, she is kind and sweet, and often struggles between balancing who she is and who she needs to be to ensure the survival of Florence.

@all-is-fair-in-love-and-war sent: “In this whole wide wicked world, the only thing you have to be afraid of is me.”

{Maddalena to Francesco. Borgia Verse}

unprompted

There is no fear where there is power. Truer words have never been spoken before and certainly not from anyone Francesco's known other than his uncle. Jacopo's way with words is strong enough to sway a crowd of people onto his side during something tumultuous like a war. One can only imagine behind council doors and within the Priory itself. And, in moments like this, they ring loud and true as he looks into her eyes to determine his next course of action.

For a moment, he wonders if such a threat ought to be brushed aside due to the name of his family and the power they hold. But he'd be fool to think that Maddalena's threat is empty and devoid of promise. To take it seriously means he must undermine his own position as well as the influence his family has in politics.

"And why is that?" He doesn't even bother to cover up the sarcasm in the tone of his voice because what she says is amusing. "You do know who I am, don't you?"

now that I have watched every tv show Daniel is in for more than 2 episodes, I'm ranking all his characters from worst to best, I'm using (-M) to mark points retracted for murder

6. The Weeping Monk - he's a tortured hot emo babe but I can't forgive the genocide (-M)

5. Lorenzo de Medici - appreciate what he did for the Renaissance but bruh could you be any more boring, plus points for cunty period costumes and saying Maddalena (-M)

4. Kaleb/Kol - points retracted for someone else establishing the character before him, extra points for making me interested in that character, a feat not accomplished by Nathaniel (-M)

3./2. Kelly Lord - the blossoming from an emo english meow meow into a flamboyant trainwreck with abandonment trauma is greatly appreciated, massive points for serving cunt (especially that pink piece that nearly killed me) and a little extra love for being the embodiment of middle child (-M)

2./3. Troy Otto - I do love me some psychopathy, especially when it's caused by a parental figure/childhood trauma (Kai Parker) (-M)

The tie between Kelly and Troy is because of their limited time on each show, I'm sure they will humanise Troy in FTWD enough for him to be clearly better than Kelly. That being said, Kelly would for sure be my fav character if they got season 2

1. Isaac Lahey - the full package: orphan, childhood trauma, abandonment issues, using humor and wit as coping mechanisms, an attempt was made to make him look edgy (I guess?), more chemistry with men than women, wears scarfs, no genocide, murder or attempted SA to tarnish the character

Minette watches Medici, part 10 (Standing Alone)

- I know it’s unbelievable, but I skipped the intro. Yeah. The whole “Renassaince, but not quite” thing pisses me off so much I skipped the fucking intro to Medici.

- I only noticed it now, but Lucrezia de’ Medici dresses so much worse than all the other women in the show, it’s kind of amazing how shitty her dresses are. They won’t get better, apparently, at least if awkward-sultana’s gifs are anything to go by.

- Her subplot continues to be boring, and I call bullshit on her slapping Lorenzo for arranging her marriage to that uncharismatic rando (although honestly the guy she’s in love with has just as much charisma, if not somehow less). She’s a wealthy unmarried woman from 15th century Italy, still under custody of her father and older brother. She certainly wouldn’t get her hopes up about marrying whomever she wants, much less a guy whose family is feuding with hers, and even if she would get mad at Lorenzo for arranging a marriage for her, she wouldn’t slap him!

- Now, Clarice having the option to join the convent despite the wishes of her family I can see - it’s much more likely that a girl from noble family would be just forced to marry regardless of what she wants, but if the match isn’t absolutely crucial, it’s not out of the question her family would allow it. I suspect that cardinal Orsini can’t be that invested in the alliance with the Medici if he isn’t trying to persuade her himself and leaves it to Lucrezia Tornabuoni and Carlo de’ Medici.

- Damn, this season has too many Lucrezias. Anyway, I’m gonna call them Lucrezia T (mama Medici), Lucrezia M (her daughter) and Lucrezia D (Lorenzo’s girlfriend, we’ll get to her) from now on.

- Anyway, speaking of Carlo! Rejoice, people, Maddalena’s kid is back! And he is still in touch with his family, how nice! His friendship with Clarice is pretty wholesome, I hope we see more of them, even if he did manipulate her into marrying his nephew who doesn’t mean a good match to her and already has a girlfriend. Also, Lorenzo’s flirting skills are hilariously bad, like, in general, the guy seems to lose about fifty IQ points when he’s talking to a hot chick. “I like everything” had me in stitches.

- Is it wrong that I am super invested in this love triangle? I mean, I like Lorenzo, and both of his options are actually pretty compelling. Lucrezia D is charismatic as hell, and Clarice pretty damn likeable - honestly too likeable to have her heart broken by Lorenzo cheating, but that’s renassaince men for ya. Also, Lucrezia D’s worries that he’ll fall in love with his wife, or possibly her not wanting to sleep with a married man... Either way, she’s so real for that. At the same time, I can’t wait for the Clarice x Lorenzo, arranged marriage to lovers, 30k, slow burn etc. My only worry is that Lorenzo will act like a complete fuckboy throughout this arch, like Cosimo was pretty douchey in this regard too.

- I call absolute bullshit on Carlo’s Medici exceptionalism, let alone Clarice believing it. I did let Lorenzo being the smartest, prettiest, nicest, specialest little boy of this show slide for way too long, it really took me Carlo’s speech to see the absolute Gary Stu vibes this guy is giving off. Still, I like Lorenzo enough to let it slide, but you’re on thin fucking ice, show.

- That said, his conflict with old Piero was just as compelling this episode as I expected. At the same time, the fact that his death hit at the end of this episode’s triumphant finish (in the immortal words of Geoff from Mother’s Basement) like a loss.jpeg in the middle of a webcomic binge, made me Not Amused again.

- I would say I don’t care about Sandro, Giuliano and whatever bullshit the show has in store for them and Simonetta Vespucci, but honestly, I am way too bi for that. The guys are simping for her from the moment they see her, and for once I get it. My sole investment in this nonsense comes from wanting to see Mathilda Lutz and her angelic face (also possibly tits).

- The tourney was sooo much lamer than I expected. Pazzi’s murder plan wasn’t the worst, but the fact that the Medici learned of it AND Lorenzo then won the tourney... Yeah, this whole thing left me cold. Error 404 narrative tension not found. And just when did Francesco get morals??? The only good part was Giuliano’s 1-800-Bitch-You-Thought moment with the boring Pazzi brother. Because I am messy bitch that lives for drama like that.

- The best part of this episode was Lucrezia T being awesome. Mama Medici is my favourite character, I love this bitch so much you can’t even imagine. In fact, all female characters in this show so far rule, except for Lucrezia M.

- I haven’t read the books, but if the impression I get from the Darkling appologist fam is correct, Matteo Martari, a.k.a. Francesco de’ Pazzi has serious book!Darkling energy.

A zonzo per la Francia: Caterina De Medici

Un’italiana che cambiò per sempre la Francia del Rinascimento… Caterina Maria Romula di Lorenzo de’ Medici nacque il 13 aprile 1519 a Firenze da Lorenzo de’ Medici duca di Urbino e Maddalena de la Tour d’Auvergne e Lorenzo il Magnifico fu suo bisnonno. Sull’educazione della giovane Caterina ci furono le prime dispute tra Francesco I, intenzionato a farla allevare in Francia, e Papa Leone X,…

Hii, who do you think is lorenzo's fav boy in s3? Madelina has a special place in his heart. Daddy's little girl🥰 but i am not sure which boy was his fav

Piero- He used to dote on piero and spent time with him until guilio came. I felt like they had a special bond n that's why piero was so hurt about guilio while his brother didn't care much

Giovanni - we didn't get much scenes n almost no affectionate ones but he did lobby to make him a cardinal at 14 and wanted him to be influential so he n piero can aid each other n hold onto their power n become more powerful by having each other's back.

Guilio-he was super affectionate n adored him as a child but he later did nothing to secure his future. Piero was the heir, Giovanni was cardinal. He loved guilio but his children will carry on his legacy so he did favour them later over guilio

hello!! This is an awesome question, thank you my love!!

Okay, so Lorenzo and his kids...that's, that's a big conversation lol, and I guess I should start this off by saying that Maddalena was 100% her parent's favorite child.

I should also say that I really don't like how the show portrayed Lorenzo as a father, it was just shitty, and I personally don't believe he would have been a shitty father. Lorenzo and all his siblings were very loved by their parents, and their grandparents. Piero and Lucrezia were both very involved parents (both in the show and historically)

Historically speaking, Maddalena was Clarice's favorite, but it was also noted that Clarice doted on all her kids, which I thought they brought through in the show which was nice. But they missed the boat with Lorenzo.

Lorenzo was also very involved with his kids, he was involved in their education but also involved in their everyday life. He would hold meetings in the gardens of the Medici Palazzo so he could hang out with his kids while he worked. There was an instance that was recorded that when Clarice and Lorenzo were away from Florence for an extended period of time, (I think they were in Rome), and Lorenzo had to go to Milan I believe on business at the last minute, and when Clarice returned to her children they started crying because Lorenzo hadn't returned with Clarice. So clearly there was a bond. Another example was when Clarice and the children were away from Florence after the Pazzi Conspiracy they stayed in the Villa di Castello I believe, but Piero wrote to his father daily asking when he would visit. So this family was close and Lorenzo was an involved father and I don't know why the show didn't show this.

So take away, historically, Lorenzo probably wasn't a shit father.

Show Lorenzo is another story. I honestly don't know who his favorite son is, my instinct is probably Piero, but Lorenzo is just crap at showing it. Piero is his firstborn, and he was very loved when he is a babe so obviously there would have to be a bond, Lorenzo just sucked at showing that, but that came back to bite him in the butt when Piero basically ends the entire Dynasty in one fellow swoop.

I should say, I do think Lorenzo loves all his kids, I just think he is shit at showing it. The Pazzi Conspiracy broke something in him that he didn't know how to fix and his family suffered because of it.

I am not sure Giovanni would have been Lorenzo's favorite? Just because we didn't see a lot of interactions between the two, and yes, Lorenzo did make sure Giovanni advanced in life and became a Cardinal, but that was more for his own personal ambition than thought for Giovanni because Giovanni wanted to be an artist. So I am not sure Giovanni would count as Lorenzo's favorite.

As for Giulio...I think Lorenzo loved Giulio, yes, and it as good of him to take Giulio in, but I don't think Lorenzo loved Giulio for Giulio. Lorenzo loved Giulio for his brother, for Giuliano. Because in a sense Lorenzo probably saw Giulio as the last thing he had linking him to Giuliano.

As kids, Giulio was probably favored over Piero for that fact, and then as they grew Lorenzo probably still thought of Piero as his favorite child, but then realized he sort screwed up that relationship and slowly began to try to rebuild that relationship.

So yeah if I had to say, I would say Piero was Lorenzo's favorite, Lorenzo just sucked at parenting!
