*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

One more… Whoa! Is that Jude Law as Henry VIII?! Looking great! Better than I had hoped tbh.

What did the Royal Household do with the Queens clothes once Henry got rid of the Queen?

I just think some people are way too fucking sensitive about these historical people. Don’t get me wrong, I love to write my little AUs, but at the end of the day, at least I know the difference between fact and fiction and I don’t treat these real people like fictional characters.

Yes, Henry VIII murdered two of his wives and that’s a totally psychotic thing to do, literally no one is denying that…now can you just shut the fuck up about it please? There are some people that just like to keep rehashing the same old bullshit over and over as if these real people who lived hundreds of years ago are suddenly gonna change. You can’t cancel someone whose been dead for 500 fucking years.

Maybe it’s just the writer in me, but I think the idea of Henry as the monstrous tyrant/psychopath is just boring.

I’m just fucking tired of people treating this historical time period as a ‘fandom’ and these real people as fictional characters. Some of y’all have never taken a proper, academic history class and it shows.

Art of the Queens, paintings done by me :), they’re not cool like digital art and I did post one of them on one of my other blogs (@aspenstarflare ) but I thought I’d share them here too! (Note I crossed out my last initial for privacy purposes)

As one might tell I might be a Katherine Howard fanboy 🩷🩷🩷

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?
