WIP - trying out some other brushes 🥸

Some of my fave Benítez faces

If you like Vincent angst,, may I present my Vincent POV fic?

Focuses on how his time in war zones impacted him, with undiagnosed PTSD, food issues and general angst.

Also he’s in love with Thomas🙏

"He didn’t feel like he fit in with the polished marble buildings, and despite not having access to a mirror, he could guess that his dirty clothes, bloodstained shoes and unwashed hair didn’t quite seem fitting of a cardinal."

or

Vincent arrives at the Vatican sleep deprived, hungry, and with a feeling of wrongness. He doesn't realise how used he has become to war.

Vincent gets fed up, and resorts to dire measures

The Omega Glory

Multiple hours until the next vote which means !!! Another conclave rewatch 🙏🙏

I HAVE CONCLAVE MOVIE THOUGHTS

so, unlike every single other cardinal, when Vincent arrives, he’s dressed simply. He’s not wearing those freaky church garments, just jeans and a shirt and jacket. Right from the get go, his costume is telling us what he will say later ‘the church is not tradition, the church is what we do next.’ Vincent only cares about whether he can help people through his faith, and is uninterested in all the other parts of being a cardinal. Right before his announcement as pope, we see him dressed simply again- even after gaining the highest post possible in the Roman Catholic Church, Vincent’s priorities haven’t changed. They never will.

But he’s not the ONLY cardinal we see wearing normal clothing…because we also see Lawrence wearing normal clothes. In his case tho, it’s in private, and it only happens once. It’s also shown during a scene where Lawrence is frustrated with the curio and with his managerial duties. Lawrence is also, in some ways, only concerned with his moral duty- but unlike Vincent, for Lawrence his moral compulsions also include maintaining the cardinals and the sanctity of the church. And when he’s frustrated and disillusioned with this work…we see him outside his cardinal garments.

Either way. The only cardinals we ever see outside that robe and cross- are the only ones in that council with integrity and a drive to do what’s right before doing what’s right for the church. Ain’t that something.

Kirk: It is not my fault that your father likes me better than he likes you!

Spock: Oh, don’t flatter yourself. My father likes everybody more than he likes me.

I like to think that every new member of the enterprise developes a crush on Spock. Like to the point where it's considered a phase of adjusting to life on the enterprise. The newest crewman comes into the rec room like "Guys! How awesome is our Science Officer? He's so smart and mysterious! His ears are so cool!" And everyone else just laughs and is all "Welcome to the Enterprise newbie!"
