Anonymous asked: quick question for one of the resident borgia experts, stumbled across someone claiming gioffre had a hand in alexander's death? i know there were rumors he was responsible for juans, but i've never heard anything about him being involved in his fathers. is there any truth (or, as is so often in the case when dealing with the borgias, suspicions) to this?

pinkishlamb asked: I just found it fitting to finally inform you that since I started to follow you, my time has slowly started to be consumed by books such as the She-Wolves and now, to add to it even further, by freaking Battlestar Galactica. You're distracting me from my life with fabulous things, you minx, you. I should hate you but that would be like hating the hand that feeds so I've decided to...

Three had offered him the world, one in the shape of himself, one in the shape of the land, and one in the shape of a woman.
(As if there had ever been a choice).
She came to him at night, lithe and bright and perfect, breathing light perfect kisses all over his unmarred face but when he kissed her back he tasted nothing but blood.

some peculiar puritan given names
ragbag:
in addition to ultimate gravel skiing and kite surf jousting, i’m also an avid fan of anthroponomastics, the study of personal names. naming customs have always been a hot topic around the ganan dinner table—and no group of people has a weirder body of names than those pesky new england puritans.
some names like be-strong philpott and kill-sin pimple sound more like cries at a...

the “fixit” was
