Okay, so after watching Six the Musical for the 507th time, I decided to share which wrestlers I'd cast as each queen

Catherine of Aragon = Toni Storm

They're both very dramatic, and let's face it, ✨️timless✨️

Anne Boleyn = Nyla Rose

Both are chaos gremlins with and absolutely petty.

Jane Seymour = Willow Nightingale

Don't ask me why. They just give off a similar vibe.

Anne of Cleves = Athena

Let's be honest. Athena wouldn’t just tell you to get down. She would push you down, several flights of stairs.

Katherine Howard = Harley Cameron

Again, don't ask me why, they just give off the same kind of vibe

Catherine Parr = Ruby Soho

Just the whole thing with her realizing "Oh shit maybe Saraya is kind of an asshole" thing and her just like trying to like get away from Saraya to be with Angelo reminds me of Cathy and her whole thing with Henry basically stealing her away from her man.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. <3

The Chequers Ring is one of the few surviving pieces of jewellery worn by Queen Elizabeth I of England.

The mother-of-pearl ring, set with gold and rubies, includes a locket with two portraits, one depicting Elizabeth and the other traditionally identified as Elizabeth's mother Anne Boleyn, but possibly her step-mother Catherine Parr. 

The ring is presently housed at Chequers, the country house of the prime minister of the United Kingdom.

According to legend, Robert Carey, Elizabeth I's maternal relative, took the ring from her finger when she died at Richmond Palace in 1603, and took it to James I in Scotland as a token of her death. Her jewellery collection was soon dispersed by the new king and queen, James I and Anne of Denmark.

my cookie run kingom oc. Beta design

Meet broken ruby Choco Cookie. One of the beast cookies. She used to be full of humility, but that turned into ignorance and envy. The reason she doesn't have a ancient Cookie counter Parr is because she killed him while trying to get her soul jam back, forcing the rest of the beast cookies to put hwr back in the tree, saying they'd come back for her. She watches the other beast minions, and is very envious of shadow milk cookie because she has a crush on candy apple cookie, thinking she could give her a better life. She keeps the prices of her soul jam, hoping she can get the other beast gems, or the ancient cookies soul jams to repair it. She has traits of each of the beast cookies, she has some of burning spice cookies anger, mystic flower cookies apathy, shadow milk cookies childish nature (mostly because she's the youngest of the beasts), eternal surger cookies love and obsession, and something like silent salt cookie. Her minions are three dragon cookies name chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry icecream cookie that can merge into a three headed dragon. Like eternal surger cookie, if someone betrays her, she turns them into a ruby statue, the very thing her citizens are made of. She trys to hide her devil horns with her buns but with how much they've grown, they're peaking out of them. Her pants are commonly mistaken for a dress when there together (like the 'SIKE ITS A JUMP SUIT' meme). She is envious of other because she always mistaken for making fun of cookies when she supported their flaws, and was often forgotten cause of how small she was and how popular the other beats were.

I don't like her design, mostly because of her hair, she's based off a ruby chocolate cookie like this one

So I am willing to a redesign

[no-goodbyes-no-regrets]

I’m almost certain there must have been a drastic budget cut dropped on the ED bosses without warning. For this number of cast members to be cut at once is unheard of. I’m assuming paula Lane would get a higher wage than lesser known actors and I can’t imagine what we’ve seen on screen was all they had originally planned for her. It certainly looks to me they decided early to drop her as soon as possible. It now makes me think the same maybe true for Oliver this can’t be what was first planned

Well I think Leslie (Brenda) and Roxy (Leyla) wanted to leave themselves. So did Jurrell (Nate) and Nicky and Suni (I don't remember the actors' names right now). And getting Mike Parr and Ned Porteous back must've cost a pretty penny. And then bringing in Steph and Anthony for Caleb and Ruby.

I definitely think they just cut their losses with Paula Lane when the child killer story and the will they won't they with chas and liam didn't work out though. As for Oliver... i HOPE it's either leading to fauxbert's exit somehow, or him being a serial killer/con man/INTERESTING because the past 6 or so months have been a whole load of nothing. it's a waste of everyone's time really.

Catherine Parr's depiction-Part 2: miniatures

-Those you knew and those you didn’t think was her. Until now.

According to Philip Mould, Catherine’s own records show that up 7 miniatures were done by John Bettes the Elder alone! None have been atributed to him this far.

Plus she employed 3 female miniaturists! ...There is bound to be many miniatures of her! Problem is, which?

There are many miniatures which people tend to label as Catherine Parr. However in just one case it is both identified as her and we are certain it is her because of the jewelry and features-the miniature bellow.

First miniature: formerly in the collection of Horace Walpole and now located at Sudeley Castle:

(No idea why I can't find it in HD online.)

Some say it is by Lucas Horenbout, idk tbh(with miniaturist it is much harder to tell, because you can do fewer tests), but importantly this time the backrgound is in such good state I’d say it is intact. So likelihood of age being correct is pretty good. XXXII=32 years of age. So c.1544, because her birthyear is not certain-it’s c.1512.

The styling of hair would also suggest it is c.1543/1544, unlikely to be of later date.

2nd miniature which once existed, but probably no more:

This is nearly exact match to previous miniature. Many people assume it is based upon it-but the upper bilement is different. Plus different cross, it’s not t-shape cross, more likely the ruby cross:

Possibly two different ruby crosses, hence possibly two separate miniatures. But I am not certain of it, so I am at the moment putting them as same one. 

Imo the 1st and 2nd miniature were a matching pair, done at same time. Just part jewelry switched, as with Jane Seymour’s portraits and Anne of Cleves miniatures(those mislabelled as Howard). I call these 'twin' portraits.

Parr bought many jewelry from France(and elsewhere), including billements, and she had her favourites in which she kept being portrayed in. Thus you cannot do chronology based upon biliments-becuase it won’t fit! She didn’t always wear new ones, she rewore those she already had.

She doesn’t seem to be fond of partlets(which are not that great indication of dating anyway), hence one would have to rely solely upon shape of her headwear and styling of hair, to try to narrow down the dating.

In larger portraits I could say conclusively, but in miniatures, it’s much harder. So in this post they are put in order as i think they chronologically go, but i am definitely not certain of it. Take it with pinch of salt. 

3rd possible miniature(which once existed) is assumed to be based upon one of her much larger portraits-those  done by Scrots in c.1545-1546 because you can see the resemblence. But it doesn’t seem to be perfect match. Yes, gown and brooch with crown are same, pendant same. 

But rest of jewelry is not same.  Different billements and jewels lining the gown.

Her billements and bodice jewels look more like bodice jewels in portrait by master John, though i am not sure if they are exact match(maybe just similiar style):

(The jewelry in similiar style is also on lesser known portrait of Henry VIII.)

Similiarities to 3rd made me immediately question identification of another miniature(on right).Because that looks like same person.

4th possible miniature-currently labelled as Mary Howard (with no solid evidence of it):

Dressed extremely lavishly. Parr was known for that.

Mary Howard as King’s daughter-in law (widowed by 1540s) probably by law could dress so lavishly...(I mentioned this when talking about lady in purple).But you can bet it’d be talked about and chances would be that it would be directly mentioned in records.

Imo it is mislabelled portrait of Parr. And the newly atributed original portrait of Parr really drives up that theory home! And I even wonder...if both could be by same artist. It's very strong resenblence.

I was 90% sure it was Parr before...now I am ready to write to national museum of Sweden about it. (Inventory No. NMB 935)

They should at least take Parr into consideration. Also, they have slight mistake in information about it.

It’s labelled as after Holbein, by some mistake they put it under artist, instead of dating. Because yes, this is after Holbein, after 1543, but it is not done after his work, this is not a copy of his work. It is period original by another miniaturist.

Miniatures aren’t as easy to date(even roughly). They cannot run as many tests upon them. Because usually they are painted upon cards and are very small and kind of fragile. And that makes it harder to identify the artist.

1st and 2nd have one maker imo, and 3rd and 4th have different one-hence the differences in face and posture.

Different miniaturist=different face.

Usually not drastically different face, but can happen. And that is why you also have to look at rest of the outfit.

But how come this miniature shows blond hair? In part 1 I explained that portraits with red or reddish brown hair are all copies and there were strong suggestions that Parr's hair was actually dark strawberry blond. Jersey's portrait being proven as original, proves that she truly had dark golden hair(literally golden), and in rare instances that can be depicted as light blond instead.

It's not darkening of pigments, but likely fading of it. Fading of red pigment within the mixture.

On this miniature gold and hair seems to be in cold spectrum, while they are supposed to be at least slightly in warm spectrum of colours:

And if you change that, the hair starts to look more strawberry blond.

The miniatures from this artist might explain the notion she was blond. He/she painted her hair as very light(more than it owed to be), his/her work faded in colour and turned blond and people assumed it was her original hair colour. 

(Same way when darkening of pigments caused blond hair to go brown, people asume that is the original colour.)

I truly think this miniature,from all the miniatures people call her, has the biggest shot on being actually her.

(smile vs no smile here.)

Tbh I am surprised that the identification as Mary Howard, Duchess of Richmond has not been questioned by experts as of yet.(As far as i know) Because the sumptuousness of the outfit, is something not even a Queen Consort would wear on normal basis. (Well maybe Parr with her lavish style would have.)

Not in Henry VIII’s reign. In Elizabethean times there was explosion of goldwork(golden embroidery) or silverwork among nobility.(Imo Elizabeth changed sumptuary law). But prior, it was highly unsual. Except on royals.

Henry VIII and his son were depicted with it in 1540s portraits constantly. But Parr having only 1 portrait with goldwork(with red cloak)? I found it odd, because a big amount of goldwork embroidery we can already see on Mary Rose(d.1533), we see bit less of it on Jane Seymour  and I always knew there are some missing depictions of royal women with it. This is one of them:

Also you should note that lower necklace is styled in non-english way. This is netherlandish style(present already in 1510s there), possibly Parr was searching for style of her own and experimented. 

(It is not found in depiction of english women from Henry VIII's reign otherwise. I think it is literally the only example.)

It is a black gown, heavily embroidered with goldwork(in knots patterns-which were popular also in gardens, which Parr also loved!) and hundreds of pearls are sewn upon it. Frankly, the miniature doesn’t do it justice. It’s beyond sumptuous. Catherine Parr was known for being very into sumptuous outfits.

Had Mary Howard been as well, i think there would be mention of it somewhere.As widow of King’s bastard son might have been allowed by law to wear such thing, but i doubt she’d dare.

I also wonder if Mary I could have inherited that dress or had similiar. Because there is period description which states that ‘princess Mary had items of costume embroidered with 581 pearls in total.’ This dress could have such amount.

That she was described as princess, doesn’t necessarly mean that she couldn’t be Queen at the time of the report, because occasionally Kings were described ‘as most ilustrious prince, the King Henry VII etc.’ Idk why, but they did this and it confuses the heck out of modern reader.

Possibly Mary inherited the gown from Parr, or they had two. But it'd be great spectacle.(Which I hope somebody will recreate.)

Alternatively...if it is not Parr...then it should be Mary. She is recorded as having such gown and she resembled Parr to great degree.

And that could explain why the fingers are shorter...but then perhaps the artist wasn't that good with hands. But then the mouth imo resembles Parr more...and Jersey portrait to incredible degree.

Now for the part which fans of Parr might not enjoy.

Don’t hate  me for this, please.(Or at least be polite). I know people are convinced these are Parr:

I will have to disappoint you. I don’t believe Parr is in either of them.  

Hair colour? Explainable. I went over it in part 1, read it.

Similiarities in posture? Yes.

Similiarities in face? Yes.

Does the dating fit?  it's borderline. I know for certain that these are between 1538-1543, but in my opinion more likely to be 1540-1542, but I could be off by one year.

And who is to say Parr couldn't have miniature done prior to becoming Queen?(possibly after already catching King's eye).

Could she afford the same bilements as rich and powerful women wore in time prior to becoming Queen? Not likely, but she was on friendly terms with Mary I and Henry started to persue her. So perhaps she was gifted some. 

So far, all is explainable! But there are two big problems.

Problem A on left, and problem B on right:

They fit Katherine Howard and Mary I way better!

Tbh Parr loses to those two each time. She doesn’t resemble these two miniatures nearly as much as those two do! 

Some of the differences could be explained by artist's skill not being that good(Parr employed 4? miniaturists. Several of them linked to highly over-praised Horenbout, who managed to make everybody ugly.)

...So it's possible that the miniatures are simply not that well executed. But more of proven original depictions of Parr we have, the less likely it seems to me that these two depict Parr:

I am not feeling it. Sorry, but I really don't think it is Parr in either of them. (But i am only human, I do mistakes. But at this moment I don't believe it.)

I hope you've enjoyed this and don't you worry, I know of several larger condidates on Parr's portraits.
