#fancast: alyssa sutherland in vikings

[15-lizards]

Targs fancast the OG trio. But also Margot because I have a little crush on him

Reblog to ruin a ‘Henry Cavill as Aegon’ fan’s day because this is 15-lizards we do Callum Turner as Aegon in this bitch! There are three meat-head Targaryens and Aegon I isn’t any of them. I like my Aegon Is to be androgynous I want them to look like possible he/theys three years on T

I can’t find that many good stills of her in Domina but Bailey Spalding as Rhaenys is such a good choice I have decided. She’s young, she’s pretty, she’s having fun, she has a face that men would go to war for. And in the end, isn’t that what Rhaenys is all about when u think ab it? (I also like Georgia Hirst, who plays Torvi in Vikings, as a younger version possibly, and Maude Hirst, her older sister who plays Helga, as an older version)

And not to do another Domina actress but Joelle as Vipsania really is my Visenya idk something ab the lack of eyebrows does it for me. Something about her looks very ethereal and thus targ like to meeee. I also frequently think about Alyssa Sutherland (Aslaug from Vikings) but she’s more of an older Visenya

And this last one isn’t even a question, Alexander Ludwig in Vikings is MY Maegor he always has been. Especially in the later seasons (not pictured here, I think this is season 2) when he has a shaved head and a beard and a big fur cloak around him at all times and a crazy look in his eyes like yeah Visenya is both his mother and his father that is all her right there

#asoiaf #it’s me and my five rotating period dramas that I pick fancasts out of against the world #also everyone go watch Domina the character switch is kinda jarring but it’s a good show #and Vikings is kind of mid on a couple levels but it is also The Best Television Ever and near and dear to my heart

if 'i fear no fate' were a movie...

the loveliest @bougainvillea-and-saltwater gave me yet another chance to be self-indulgent and tagged me to share more of my casting choices for my fic, i fear no fate (for you are my fate)! 💖 I wasn't able to decide on one for everyone who's shown up or who's due to show up, but here's who I have so far:

Elentari Bellefeuille, the Last Dragonborn

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this model for Armstreet makes me think of Ellie every time I see her, but I also imagine her as having shades of Nastya Kusakina and Elle Fanning to her. give any of them pale silvery hair, green eyes, a beauty mark or two, and little pointy ears, and they'd be perfect for Elentari!

Miraak, the First Dragonborn

with his long golden hair and straight nose, I couldn't help but choose model Jorge Pla as my fancast for him. at this point in the story, Miraak has black sclerae, burning blue irises, and dark-coloured ink stains running down his cheeks, but I imagine he looked a lot like this prior to Apocrypha (or after, at some point👀?).

Lucien Flavius, Scholar Extraordinaire

I challenge anyone to tell me that Toby Regbo isn't perfect for Lucien. look at him in that rightmost pic and tell me he isn't standing at Ellie's side, watching some form of nonsense unfold and wondering what he'll write in his letter to his parents tonight.

Vanna, Cultist of Miraak

we might have only known her for one chapter (and I couldn't decide on someone who'd make a good Solis, her quiet Dunmer counterpart), but Alyssa Sutherland as Queen Aslaug from Vikings is definitely my first choice for the headstrong, loyal Vanna. her hair might need to be a bit redder, but she's got the covering of freckles already!

this was fun! now, I tag @bostoniangirl21, @cheeseandstrawberrytartlover, @kiir-do-faal-rahhe, and any of my writer followers who'd like to show off their fics and characters! (no pressure, of course!) 💖

#tag game #oc: elentari #otp: i fear no fate (for you are my fate) #i fear no fate (for you are my fate) #i'm still looking for a solis! and i have an image of vahlok in my head but i can't seem to find him just yet #i've a few ideas for ellie's parents too. and miraak's mother. and and and— #gosh you start out with a handful of characters and then they multiply when you're not looking

[joanna-lannister]

idk if you've said before but did you have a fancast for Cersei and Jaime?

Hi, I don't think I've ever replied to that of question to be honest.

Okay, so it depends if we are talking about young!JC or not. For young!JC I would cast those two: Celina Sinden and Jonathan Keltz aka Greer and Leith from Reign (I know people hate this show, but I loved it). They are just so perfect for young!JC (especially Celina who looks like a baby Lena, Jonathan is a bit too dark blond tho but it matches with Jaime later dark blond hair), and their scenes have great JC vibes if you want to do a pre-ASOIAF/GOT gifsets.

As for adult!JC, I don't actually have a fancast tbh because I think Nik and Lena are perfect for their roles, and I never really pictured anyone else in my mind, but there is this is pic of Alexander Skarsgård that gives me major Jaime vibes and that I would likely to use in a edit for modern!JC. Oh, and also Alyssa Sutherland (Aslaug in Vikings) could be a good actress for Cersei.

Voilà! That's who I think would be a good fancast for JC. Have a nice day! ❤️✨

Théodwyn | Women of Arda - Ladies of Rohan | Part 5 of 5

Théodwyn was the daughter of Thengel King, the sixteenth king of Rohan, and Morwen Steelsheen. She was the last of five children, born in T.A 2963, and the younger sister of Théoden King. She was described as the fairest of her siblings and her brother loved her dearly. 

In T.A 2989, Théodwyn married Éomund of Eastfold, the Lord of Alburg and a distant descendant of Eofor, the third grandson of Eorl the Young. He was a renowned warrior, but would often ride out to battle orcs in hot anger and with few men. In T.A 2991, they had a son, Éomer, and four years later their daughter Éowyn was born. 

Éomund was killed in T.A 3002, when he pursued a band of orcs to the Emyn Muil and was surprised by a strong force lying in wait there. Théodwyn grew ill not long after and died at the young age of 39. Her children were taken into the care of her elder brother, Théoden, and raised in his household. 

Éowyn would go on to slay the Witch-King of Angmar in defence of her uncle and marry Faramir of Gondor, becoming the first princess of Ithilien. Éomer would inherit the kingship after their uncle’s death and was called Éadig, “the blessed”.

Cersei Lannister Fancast Resource

When they were children, Cersei and her twin-brother, Jaime, looked so alike not even their father, Tywin, could tell them apart. As adults, they still significantly resemble each other. Cersei is a strikingly beautiful woman, with golden hair, emerald green eyes, fair skin, and a slender, graceful figure.

Cersei is 32 when the series begins.

CHARLIZE THERON - RAVENNA (SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN)

Charlize Theron is the fancast I've used most often for Cersei. She was in her mid-30s while filming Snow White and the Huntsman, which takes place in a fantasy medieval setting. She plays the evil queen, which gives her a really good energy for Cersei's more scheming moments.

REBECCA FERGUSON - ELIZABETH WOODVILLE (THE WHITE QUEEN)

Rebecca Ferguson is another of my favorite fancasts for Cersei. In this series, she plays an ambitious and multifaceted character who marries into royalty, which makes so much of her footage perfect for Cersei. She was ~30 during filming. The show is set in the 15th century in England, which makes the costumes very appropriate for Westeros.

ALYSSA SUTHERLAND - ASLAUG (VIKINGS)

In a show full of blonde ladies, Alyssa Sutherland is the one who most captures Cersei's energy. She's both elegant and fierce with a definitive ability to be nasty. She was in her early 30s while filming, and there's a ton of content of her. Viking costumes, which means heavy on the furs, but a lot of it works for King's Landing.

CELINA SINDEN - GREER (REIGN)

Celina Sinden is another of my favorite fancasts, particularly for a slightly younger Cersei. She was in her late 20s while filming Reign, which is set in 16th-century Scotland. That should make it perfect for Westeros, but the costume design is truly all over the place for this show. Some of it is beautiful and very fitting for King's Landing, while an equal amount looks like prom dresses from a department store. However, if you pick your footage carefully, Celina makes a great Cersei. She also bears a decent resemblence to Lena Headey, who plays Cersei in the show, which means she makes a good younger Cersei for content that uses show footage.

JODIE COMER - ELIZABETH OF YORK (THE WHITE PRINCESS) and MARGUERITE DE CARROUGES (THE LAST DUEL)

Jodie Comer is another of my favorite younger Cerseis. She was in her mid- to late-20s while filming each of these pieces, and she features heavily in both. The White Princess is particularly appropriate to Westerosi fashion, and her character is both steely and ambitious.

KATHERYN WINNICK - LAGERTHA (VIKINGS)

In a show with so many blonde people, we have to source at least one more. Katheryn Winnick fits Cersei's physical description very well, and she's heavily featured for several seasons of Vikings, during which she was in her 30s and 40s. Her character is a warrior, which means a lot of her scenes don't fit Cersei as well, but the non-combat ones can still be really useful.

ANNABELLE WALLIS - JANE SEYMOUR (THE TUDORS)

Annabelle Wallis plays a character who's overall much sweeter than Cersei ever is, but she still has a really solid aesthetic. She was in her mid-20s while filming Tudors, which potentially makes her good for Cersei in her younger and slightly more innocent years. Tudor-era costumes, obviously.

As usual, feel free to add your own favorites! The full series can be found here.

[myimaginationplain]

Ygritte and Val are two ASOIAF women who 1) I don't see fancasted often, and 2) seem particularly difficult to fancast. I was curious to see if I could find any actresses that suited them. so, after searching for a while, I've finally found two actresses that I think work!

Ygritte: Tamzin Merchant as Rhonu in Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse (yeah, I'm aware that her sleeveless arms may not exactly read as wildling-north-of-the-wall, but hey, she's a cute & fierce redhead who wields a bow & arrow 🤷🏾‍♀️. redheads are just difficult as hell to fancast, man)

Val: Kristanna Loken as Brunhild in Ring of The Nibelungs / Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King / Die Nibelungen (2004)

(I'm pretty sure Alyssa Sutherland as Aslaug in Vikings is the most popular Val fancast, but honestly she's always read a bit older than I think Val is supposed to be. also, I actually prefer her as Cersei)

[margridarnauds]

Okay! This just came to mind BUT...fancast for Bres/Sreng, and your favorites of the Fomorians, TDD, and Fir Bolg, also, fan cast your favorite Ulster Cycle characters! :D

GOD I’ve thought of it a lot, and I’ve never quite come up with someone who FITS. 

Sreng-

He isn’t QUITE as beefy as Sreng should be, and I’d actually rather Sreng not be conventionally attractive. (Personally, my take on Bres/Sreng is Bres doing a Fleur Delacour and being like “I AM GOOD LOOKING ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF US, I THINK.” Personally, I’d LOVE to have it be more region-accurate, as far as getting actors from the relevant regions of Ireland to be them (so, someone from Munster for Sreng, possibly Northern Ireland for Bres, etc.) and I would genuinely love to see someone who’s not white as Sreng, provided it was done well. (Emphasis on ‘well.’) For centuries now, the Fir Bolg have been coded as POC, as writers used them and twisted them into a pro-colonization narrative (”The Tuatha dé were totally right to eradicate this primitive people”), and I would love to see a triumphant reclamation of that, especially since to this day, there’s this idea that Ireland is all white (Hint: It’s not.) But again. It’d have to be done well, and I’m not sure that would be MY take on it to tell because, as is well known and documented, I’m very, very white. 

But, Aidan Turner’s Black Irish, which fits some of the later descriptions of the Fir Bolg, I think he could do a really good job capturing the different dynamics of Sreng’s personality and his development. I think he could REALLY nail Sreng at the beginning, where he’s this young guy in a family that’s tearing itself apart but who is still devoted to his king as he develops into the king of a conquered people. 

Bres - 

I’ll be honest, I’ve NEVER seen anyone who quite fits into my image of Bres. Bres is just…TOO pretty. There’s no one who’s pretty enough to be him. Like, I’ll search for “Hollywood’s Prettiest Actors” and get “Hollywood’s handsomest actors” and see Chris Hemsworth’s face and I’m just like NO. DON’T YOU SEE? If you can picture him cutting wood outside a log cabin, that’s not BRES. 

Personally, I see Lee Pace MORE as Elatha (and again, I’d rather someone actually FROM Ireland play Bres), but he’s also the closest I can come to Bres. On one hand, he’s 40 while Bres is…young when everything begins, but I think he could really sell the snark factor, and come the actual time period for CMT…he would be about the right age, even though Tuatha dé…aging…it’s complicated. But still. Closest thing. And it wouldn’t be the first time we got someone playing a character half their age. 

Fomoire - 

Indech-

Look. I tried to resist it. I really did. Especially given that he looks next to nothing like the actress I’ve ALREADY cast as his daughter. But like. MADS MIKKELSEN AS INDECH. I REPEAT: MADS MIKKELSEN BEING PROBABLY THE MAJOR VILLAIN OF THE TEXT, NEXT TO BRES AND ELATHA.He was going to either HAVE to be either Balor or Indech, and Balor’s…actually not that bad a guy, all things taken into account. Indech, though? Holy SHIT. And he could be BONE-CHILLING. Imagine him saying Indech’s line about grinding the Tuatha dé’s bones to dust, while Bres kind of just looks at him like “This is what I signed up for.” Him killing Duirgen as in the Dindsenchas poem, but doing it almost casually, the same as him swatting a fly. 

Indech’s Daughter-

I will give you a hint to how MUCH I want Katie McGrath as Indech’s Daughter (who I have many, many feelings about at any time of the day despite her brief appearance): There have been times that the only reason I keep on with my WIP is JUST because I know she’s not getting any younger and I NEED to see her there. THE SNARK. THE SCHEMING. And, in my ideal adaption of CMT, we’d see more of her relationship with her brother(s), father, etc., and I think that she could sell it. Do I think her acting is always the best? …Not really, BUT at the same time…KATIE MCGRATH AS INDECH’S DAUGHTER. PLEASE. 

Ochtriallach - 

It is surprisingly hard to find a Scandinavian actor under 40. HOWEVER, I think he could do a good job, even if most of the Vikings style decisions make me want to pull my hair out. We KNOW he can play brutal characters, and Och is…brutal, though I would also want to show a softer side when it comes to his sister/Ruadan. I’m just going to have to accept that the Indechson family is one of those families where no one looks like each other (and where one of them is slightly more…Irish than the other two).

Tethra- Gerard Butler 

Tfw your sister wants to marry some random ass mortal from Ireland, aka the country that you tried to invade, like, two thousand years ago, and Bres is on his bullshit and all you want to do is go fishing. 

Balor - 

Because redheaded Balor IS a hill I’m willing to die on. Just give Kristofer Hivjuan eyepatch and we’re good to go. 

Cethlenn -  

Look, I KNOW “I think you’d do a good job playing a character named ‘Cethlenn of the Crooked Teeth’ who is also the grandmother of one of the main characters in the story” isn’t what EVERYONE would want to hear, especially when she’s not THAT much older than her prospective grandson, but…I think Myanna Buring could do it. (And anyway, aging is fucky with immortals, so)

Indusa - 

Can anyone ELSE play Bres’ only daughter? 

Ruadan - 

Because I’m almost out of young, ginger Irish actors. 

TDD - 

Eriu- 

Alyssa Sutherland. I could REALLY see her rocking it, just from what I’ve seen in Vikings. Eriu’s an interesting figure, and I don’t think she gets enough credit for being the equivalent of a single mother in a society that…while you have different types of marriage, so Bres STILL has inheritance rights with Elatha…there was definitely a stigma. Especially for raising a son who NO ONE knew the father to. (It’s left ambiguous, but my personal read on the text is that Bres was raised by all the women and that Bres was kept out of the loop as far as who his real father was, hence why he asks Eriu later on.) I also would LOVE to see her as the years go on, watching as Bres and Elatha’s relationship breaks down and being in the state of not being able to help her son, because it seems like any choice she makes just drags him closer to his doom, and I think she could really show that, and really give us an Eriu with spirit. 

Bríg-

Look, I’ll be honest here: Bríg is NOT my favorite character. It’s not that I HATE her per se, it’s just that I get rather sick of hearing about her all the time and about how she was SO OPPRESSED by her TERRIBLE ARRANGED MARRIAGE to Bres. (Note: We have NO IDEA why they married, when they married, or how long they were married. There’s a LOT of info you can fill in the blanks on. People take a lot for granted, not least being that Bríg would be the ONLY one who hated being married to someone she didn’t love and was vastly incompatible with.) Like, she has VERY LITTLE to do in terms of the actual myths, she’s not as well-documented as Bres, she doesn’t have as much of a PERSONALITY as Bres, and yet I have to hear about the self-insert version of her 24/7 while people trash my son. 

BUT MY BITTERNESS ASIDE: Bríg…we get very little on her, and so I’m not going to fill in more than needed, but she’s highly associated with the aristocracy of skill. Think of it: Doctors, poets, smiths, ALL of them are the top, top, top of the social ladder in terms of skills, and she’s patroness of all of them. It’s not said whether she dabbles in them herself or not, but she’s obviously interested, and I think Eleanor Tomlinson is very good at being upperclass when needed, even though people most know her as Demelza from Poldark. I also think that, judging from the rest of her career, she could do a very good job showing that kind of gut wrenching grief she shows at Ruadan’s death. (The way I picture that scene going down, it’s BRUTAL, with Bríg being devastated for this boy she’s never really known and furious at Bres for his role in it, furious at the Tuatha dé and the Fomoire alike for their role in bringing it about.) She wouldn’t be a passive Bríg, I think she’d play a Bríg with a little more agency and spark while hopefully not veering into anachronistic territory. 

I don’t necessarily like casting Bríg in particular with an English actress, but…well…she’s a good fit. 

Airmed - 

HELL YEAH SARAH BOLGER. Airmed is…a delicate figure. Like, think of it: She loses two brothers close together (Cian and Miach), the latter of whom she was prevented from even MOURNING because her father was still so insecure and bitter. She’s as brilliant as anyone in her family (keeping in mind that she’s the aunt of LUGH), but…realistically, you’d have to be TERRIFIED of being too smart, after seeing what happened to Miach. Like, the text itself doesn’t do much in terms of giving her a sense of interiority, but I like to imagine that, when her father says “And Airmed shall remain,” he leans over, gives her a fatherly kiss on the forehead, and she tries to repress a shudder. And Sarah Bolger is very, very good at playing aristocratic ladies with that sense of vulnerability while still being poised and elegant. 

Ogma - 

Doesn’t look QUITE as strong as Ogma needs to be, but I think he could sell it. He tends to do a really good job with the “second in command standing loyally by” type of roles, and I think that works really well with what we get of Ogma. 

Lugh - 

Look….Jamie Campbell Bower could rock it. I know, ANOTHER Brit, BUT…he could rock it. He has that kind of androgynous pretty boyness that’s kind of a main thing with Bres, Lugh, and Cú Chulainn, and I think he could portray Lugh as the bitch that he needs to be. Someone dedicated to the Tuatha dé, yes, but also brutally determined to do whatever it takes to make sure that he ends up on top. (Personally, I think he could be utterly terrifying during the scene at Carn úi Neit with Bres.) 

Nuada - 

I’ll be honest, my gut response was “Colin Farrell” but…I already called him for King Eochaid. And John Lynch is a good actor with a long filmography under his belt. And Nuada…he’s a tragic character, but there’s also a dark edge to him. A dark edge to all the TDD, really, and I think he could do it, as well as show Nuada’s vulnerabilities after losing the arm. (Though I’d also be willing to switch Nuada and Eochaid out.)

Uaithne, the Dagda’s harper- 

Look, it was only a matter of time before I cast Hozier as ONE of the immortals; I just thought it would be HILARIOUS if, after the battle, the Dagda is FREAKING OUT because his harpist has been stolen, and then we cut to fucking Hozier strumming out a song while even Bres looks to be having a good time, and then the Dagda, Ogma, and Lugh BURST in and there’s this “Oh shit” moment. I for one think Hozier would make a very good damsel in distress. 

Fir Bolg - 

On one hand, it would almost be a waste given how little he actually gets, but Colin Farrell would make a DEVASTATING King Eochaid. 

Tfw the TDD arrive out of nowhere and try to threaten you at swordpoint and you probably spent your younger days/your father DEFINITELY spent his younger days enslaved in Greece and so you’re sick to death of colonizers and their bullshit and then they kill you in a three on one battle but not before you leave the throne to your cousin whose brother you killed as part of a generations long feud and who is also disturbingly hot for the champion on the other side and OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. 

Tailtiu- 

Actually had a devil of a time, coming down to Marie Doyle Kennedy or Elena Anaya (the latter of whom had a slight leg up for actually being Spanish), and then I remembered Ruth Negga’s existence and I was like “OH.” I’m not AS familiar with her work on other things, but from what I’ve seen, I think she could do a really dignified take on Tailtiu, where she mourns, but she has to pick herself up off the ground. Tailtiu is a survivor, she’s a woman who left Spain to be with the Fir Bolg (and Eochaid), and then was left a widow, yet managed to become a fixture by being the foster mother to Lugh. (And, ultimately, by marrying Bres’ grandson, which never ceases to be hilarious to me.) I think that we could get a multi-facetted side to her, dealing with her in issues of state as well as her personal life. (I would KILL for some Tailtiu VS Sreng arguments when they’re making the decision to leave or stay.) 

Ulster Cycle:

This will be considerably quicker given I’m not as attached to it as my mythological peeps. 

Blathnat - Evanna Lynch 

My girl. My angel who deserved so much better. Personally, I think Evanna has this…kind of distant, “out there” vibe, which is probably mostly because of knowing her as Luna, and I think that really suits Blathnat. 

Emer- Tamsin Egerton

And yes, ANOTHER English actress. For an Irish/distantly Scandinavian noblewoman. know. I know. But LOOK, she looks very…Emer-ish to me.  

Aiden Gillan - Bricrui or Forgal the Wily 

The man’s made a career being devious and cunning on TV. This is perfect. 

Uathach - Freya Mavor

Aífe - Eva Green

In all fairness, THIS time I didn’t cast an Irish character with a Brit. I just…cast a Scottish character with a French actress. But look, my girl deserves JUSTICE. And I believe Eva Green could give it to her.

I've been thinking about Arya's facial features and I remembered that many Viking’s fans in my country say that the actress Alyssa Sutherland has a horse face and a horsey grin, so I thought of something similar for Arya. What do you think?

i can def see it. she’s stunning imo. with darker hair and a shorter build she’d be a perfect stark fancast.
