i honestly can’t believe that this show and “the book of life” take place in the same universe
Not just in the same universe, the characters are even RELATED. According to series creator Jorge Gutierrez, Manolo’s mother’s maiden name was Rivera, and was the sister of Simon Rivera, also known as Justice Jaguar, making her the Great Great Aunt of El Tigre.
Woah.

Niccolo Machiavelli and Leonardo Da Vinci, most likely at the behest of the Borgias, once conspired to steal a river.

Their plan failed, at which point Machiavelli decided to quietly fade out of politics…and went on to write The Prince, one of the most (in)famous pieces of Western literature.
Da Vinci, meanwhile, never forgot the river that got away. In fact, he made it the background of one of his most famous paintings–hell, one of the most famous paintings, period.
Yup, that’s the fucking river.
the original italian job. Can we just agree that dicaprio should play da vinci?
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
