a glimpse into their shared past;

An incredible movie (my favourite) and an equally incredible book (also a favourite)… conclave is a piece of art honestly. ❤️

Anyways, fellow conclave fans.. I finally got around to finishing our dear Vincent Benitez :)

—————

Let me walk ya through it!!

First of all; the text on the bottom right is the scene in the book where Lomeli/Lawrence decides to vote for Benitez. God I love this book.

In the book Benitez mentions his liking for candles, so what’s better than putting him in candlelight?

His shadow isn’t of him as cardinal, but rather as pope, wearing the papal mitre and holding the scepter.

And lastly, the shadow being casted by his pectoral cross is not shaped like the cross, but rather it’s shaped like ovaries. Conclave people, I don’t have to explain this one

(plus tedesco!)
