"the last thing the late pope did before dying was setting up the most complicated blind date ever planned and it worked" well yes it was clear Lawrence will fall head over heels in love with Benitez but how dit he knows Benitez would be into sad grandpa Lawrence? Did Benitez have a history of breaking the hearts of some older priests I need to know 😭

save me old man old man save me

that one series starring Jude Law

Honk shoo honk shoo 😴

Benitez being the only one that can get away with calling Tedesco "Teddy".

If anyone else tries it, they get a 40-minute Italian rant about professionalism and tradition.

Benitez does it and he lets it slide every single time. He also blushes a bit and looks away for a second but that could mean anything.

As a student of Latin American political philosophy I must say that I have a love/hate relationship with Tedesco's character, but as a fan of seeing xenophobic men being deeply defiled by none other than an intersex Latino who has spent his life helping everyone and everything Tedesco hates, I must admit that there is beauty and karma in it that I can't ignore

I love you so much Vincent Benitez, straight flipper and such a good fuck that he is capable of changing a man's entire political and social ideal just by open his mouth

LOCKJAW >:D

* Vincent Benitez enters the Vatican*

Lawrence and Tedesco:

taming the great red dragon

get out of my head

ah well here goes nothing (the quality is out the window)

Patriarch of Venice

lawrence/benitez is the kind of relationship that's all deep spiritual connection, exploring the meaning of faith together, being each other's foundation upon which to build a church

benitez/tedesco is the kind of ship where benitez has to impart wisdom such as "you can NOT do poppers AND viagra, you will get a stroke and die"

pre-cardinal era!bellesco | where they duke it out in public and kiss and cuddle in private, and everything goes well (kinda) until god and gospel breaks them up.

HELLO?! THAT BEAUTIFUL HAIR? THE SMIRK? SIRRR???

Sergio Castellitto in Va Savoir (2001), dir. Jacques Rivette

so i bet all i have on that furrowed brow

Me and My Husband - Sergio Castellitto

Il Grande Cocomero (The Grand Watermelon)

Sergio Castellitto as Goffredo Tedesco Conclave (2024)

conclave the book is like so specifically written too like ... its so crazy. bellini's line about "families having 10 children because mama and papa didn't know any better" & "standing for everything tedesco does not" is like only a few pages apart from the reveal of tedesco's backstory being that he's the youngest of 12 kids and grew up destitutely poor from that (& still eats like he's terrified someone might steal his food). like ohh... tedesco is a product of his environment and the paradigm of the traditional values failing people & still trying to force those values on people despite knowing the firsthand experience of the way it sucks. crab in a bucket style.

god grant us a pope who dances

"la venida de cristo" (the cumming of christ)

paintings by fabián chairez (mexico, born 1987) also available as a postcard set

his exhibition in mexico city is currently being targeted by extremist religious groups and christian groups are trying to sue him (X) for his work so i thought i would show all of tumblr

She conc on my clave till I pontificate idk

'...[a]nd he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the LORD in righteousness.' (Malachi 3:3)

AND HE SHALL PURIFY, Graphite in A5 sketchbook

What the hell. Here's my vision of the scene in the book that kinda made it to the screenplay but still didn't end up in the film because they knew none of us will ever shut up about it. Thank you, Kenneth Macmillan and Royal Ballet, for planting this image in my head.

Banana and hand for scale 👇

as a bellesco truther, looking up pics of young stanley tucci and sergio castellitto is so funny to me because stanley was so unbelievably ripped, it’s wild

meanwhile, over here we have principessa twink d’italia with his pretty lips and big sad disney princess eyes

i mean, c’mon aldo. look at him. you could totally take him. you could make him cry. make him beg for it. it would be SO EASY

when Cardinal Benítez recognises the efforts of the nuns during the conclave:

"Tell me, Aldo. Did Tommaso let you do this to him too, or am I really that special?"

"Keep his name out of this. Thomas is good, pure. You... Are not."

"Oh yeah? Well, neither are you. That’s why he didn’t choose you—because you are filthy."

"Y-you... You’re bleeding. Disgusting."

"Oh... I don’t mind a little blood... I enjoy it."

Bônus:

conclave is an amusing instance where you see the extremely well-made video edits backed by rupaul and charli xcx songs and think ‘surely this is giving me a warped impression of what this film is about’ and then you watch it and realise it really is like that

this is sending me bc imagine being the bishop in charge of monitoring social media and you have to go report to the chronically offline Lawrence that ppl on twitter are saying they want to get the new Holy Father pregnant

Amén.
