#tudor era#perioddramaedit#tudorerasource#mary queen of scots#vivian pickles#elizabeth r#i do love this portrayal of MQOS#partly bc she's one of the only depictions to show her as middle aged#at her execution as she was IRL#but also bc the script uses a lot of her IRL words when she defends herself in the Babington Plot#nearly all of which are a pack of desperate lies#idk i'm not a fan of historical MQOS#and this MQOS is outclassed by Elizabeth at nearly every turn which#a harsh but not unjustified portrayal

OMG, I would die for something about Mary and Elizabeth's relationship, especially during Mary's reign. It is so interesting to think about it that I can't believe that there isn't any period movie or series that focuses on them. There is just so much potential to explore their relationship but nope let's do another movie about Elizabeth and MQoS whom I think never even met cause Scotland vs. England I guess (never mind that Mary was forced to abdicate a good 20 years before her execution, lol).
Mary and Elizabeth’s relationship was so interesting. I would love on a portrayal that goes from Elizabeth’s birth to Mary’s death. Hopefully without bias or vilifying.
I know? Mary Stuart and Elizabeth never met, there is not the drama and the emotional connection that there was between the sisters. That’s A+ material in my book.
#isla-the-ice-princess#I wish they had worked something out in the end because I think neither got closure and it hurted them both
