Catherine Parr in Art* vs Catherine Parr in Firebrand [Costumes designed by Michael O'Connor]

*Catherine sat for the Family of Henry VIII portrait in lieu of Jane Seymour who appeared in the portrait.

As they are the period drama King and Queen, if you could cast David and Natalie as any historical couple who would you cast them as?.

interesting question!! i would DEFINITELY love to see them play elizabeth i and robert dudley. both actors are immensely talented and have such electrifying chemistry. they would absolutely nail it and they'd portray bess and robbie's intriguing bond that frustrated both the historians and the people in her court in the slayest way possible lol. so yeah <3

Six The Musical Headcanons - Kathrine Howard:

-AroAce, don’t fight me on this, I can totally understand and see the other head canons about this but to me thinking about Kat being in a romantic relationship in her second life or having crushes just does’t sound right because of all the romantic and intimate relationships she was pressured into in her past one (no I’m not saying she’s AroAce cause of the trauma, although it could possibly push her towards repulsed, I think it’s because she never really wanted a romantic intimate relationship all she cared about was just having a bond with someone or feeling loved or important or a place in life)

-Once she was reincarnated, I totally head canon that it wasn’t Anne she got close to first but rather Jane (not counting Anna who she already knew), Anne was probably a little too overwhelming for Kat first also including all the screaming matches she probably got into with Catalina. Jane with her maternal instincts probably slowly but surely drifted to the scared 17 year old to offer some help and Kat who was still shy and scared quickly got attached to the maternal figure

-Anne definitely got close to Kat just later when everyone ended calming the frick down, or in Annes case finally letting the chaotic side. Very common conception but Anne makes the chaos and Kat helps her out with it, the beheaded cousin just became the trouble and chaos cousins

-PTSD, I know no one will argue me on this one, the repeated reoccurrence of such traumatic events for Kat having happened to her by 4 different people, definitely made the girl come with scars into her next life.

-Nightmares, I know I also won’t be argued about this one, most of the queen household is commonly plagued by nightmares especially Kat, who commonly ends up in Jane’s or Anne’s room in the middle of the night if the other queens don’t find her first

-History nerd, with all the historical facts she knows in the musical, I like to imagine in my head that when it’s her turn to chose something to watch for queen movie nights, she chooses this intense historical documentaries with the guy with the British accent in the background

-She hides behind Jane or a different queen if Jane isn’t present when she’s anxious (or if a man is too close for her comfort)

-Hates being treated like a child, sometimes the queens can mistake her need for extra help as a need to smother her which Kat hates. But all the queens have a talk about this and they agree to give her space and remember that she’s an equal. (Although Kat doesn’t complain about all the extra attention she gets from Jane)

-Really enjoys hot chocolate, Jane makes sure to always keep it stocked because the last time when Kat ran out it was not pretty

-Yes I’m all about mother figure Jane to Kat, but I’m also all about Older sister Figure Anne, and other mother Catalina to Kat because Kat deserves all the love and positive older figures

-Kat has everyone wrapped around her finger even though she doesn’t completely understand it, she cried once in front of everyone and magically a pile of stuffed animals appeared in her room (they were from Cathy and Catalina)

-Kat also enjoys reading (though not nearly as much as Cathy) but will sometimes have little book clubs or talks with Cathy cause Cathy wants someone to talk about the books with and Kat is more than happy to indulge

-Once Kat warms up to everyone she becomes the resident cuddler, clinging to any unsuspecting queen in the household, even Catalina, who the first time initially almost shoved Kat off but with the look of adoration in Kat’s eyes didn’t have the heart to do it

-During Six performances for All You Wanna Do, the first time a swing performed with them, Kat shoved them off before the given beat and almost had to run offstage from the panic (although was able to last until Mega Six, where she got lots of Hugs, reassurances, and help after from her family and the swing even)

Thats all for today about the pink queen 🩷🩷🩷

FIREBRAND (noun): A person who is very passionate about a particular cause.

I am dropping by to release a hot take.

So we all agree Francois as Cesare just exudes sexiness and we were obsessed and could not get enough. Logically you would assume we would all be attracted to Francois the actor and find him with that much charisma and hold in other roles, the thing is when he appears in other shows it is hardly a blip on what he excluded in The Borgias (don't get me wrong he's still good looking in an Indie way). Like that hold was real.

Whereas, David takes characters that might not be everyone's cup of tea and Juan definitely was not the first few watches so you were less attracted to him. But irl he's a sweetie and endearing and the more you watch him the more you love him and see his attractiveness.

Might not have gotten my whole point across but it is an interesting observation.

you're actually cooking something! i see your point, but let me give you what i think about them:

as someone who has watched most of françois and david's filmography and interviews, david is the one who did it for me the most! i fear you'll never find a dorkier guy. i must admit, at first, i didn't find him attractive, but as you mentioned, he has such an endearing personality and it made me love him and recognize his attractiveness; an adorable animal-loving ecologist with a great sense of humor and wit. even when he plays characters that are not meant to be "likable" and don't have the writing on their side (like juan, for example), he plays them tremendously and delves deeper than what his character was supposed to be on the show (also one thing about me is that i'm gonna prefer the black sheep and always sympathize with a child who feels inferior comparing to his siblings lol). moreover, he is articulate and intelligent in providing insights and interpretations about characters, which is very important to me. such a fantastic actor with so much love for art and passion for his characters. (not to mention his soothing voice lol). a delightful individual through and through.

while with françois, he's absolutely perfect as cesare! it's such a timeless role for the actor in his career because i don't think i'll ever be that invested and obsessed with a male lead—an amoralist with all that charm, sassiness, leather, charisma, angel face, and divine curls... his character is so iconic and will always be special to me. but the thing is, he always had the writing on his side, and everything for him was handed on a silver plate. and this is where i was more compelled into david's juan. sure, françois obviously and undeniably did such a fantastic job as cesare, but david had to do the extra work for juan. in the end, he did impress neil jordan, despite expressing that he disliked juan and even wanted to write him off in season 1. françois is conventionally attractive; he's so beautiful and has such an awkward yet lovable personality. he's bilingual, which makes him extra hot. he seems down-to-earth, but unfortunately, he has such a weak filmography, which is sad because he is immensely talented, but the industry just didn't know what to do with all that handsomeness and talent, and there was nothing in his career that he did that gave me the buzz like cesare did.

overall, both of them are great, charming actors, but i had no choice but to lean toward david. he always portrays complex, nuanced characters with questionable morals, yet there is an understanding of why they behave the way they do, a theme that i do find very enjoyable. also, he has a captivating demeanor, so sentimental, and deeply loves his co-stars. it's impossible to watch his interviews without smiling. he comes across as highly educated and very straightforward. everything about him is so intriguing, lol.

Will we see Edward and Jane, I wonder?

[thetenamongstthesethrees]

Why is it that in every single SIX fanfic I'm writing, I always end up making Anne suffer the most out of everyone- it's always either Anne, or Katheryn..and sometimes Seymour, just not as often...Idk, its just a weird trend I noticed in my writing, lol

The Waiting Game

Tudor England is one of my great loves. It’s one of my favourite time periods to read about and engross myself in. Since I’ve been a fan for so long, the fact that historians are now pulling out the lesser known stories is something I find thrilling and I feel like there’s a whole new world out there for me to explore. Catherine of Aragon – and Anna of Kleve – had to learn English, Anne Boleyn…

"Serving a Tudor Queen with Dr James Taffe"

Though it's short, he gives great info on the complex structure of a queen consort's household, focusing on the Tudor consorts. I can't wait to check out his book.

[sammygems]

it's the way none of y'all voted for Jane Grey 😭

so rankings would be:

7th: Lady Jane Grey

6th: 3 way tie between Katheyn Howard, Katherine Parr, & Elizabeth I (which surprises me actually)

5th: tie between Jane Seymour & Anna of Cleves

4th: Mary I (happy she's not last)

3rd: Catherine of Aragon

2nd: Elizabeth of York (which kinda surprises me, but i get it)

and 1st, unsurprisingly: Anne Boleyn

ok this is the most important poll i got for y'all /hj
