#mind you no one is fancasting any of the guys parts 🤔🤔

[dulcewrites]

It is still so fucking weird how easily people in the hotd fandom fancast parts that have already been casted???? Then claim ‘oh book accuracy’ knowing damn well the people they would rather play the role also are not 100% book ‘accurate’.

And it’s never for the reasons they should/could be different. Both Rhaenyra and Helaena get described as being plus sized in the book, but you can sure as hell bet the ‘book accurate’ castings people make only include thin actors. They only make them to disparage the actors bc they are piss babies about the direction of the show (with how people treat emma or liv) or bc the actors have ruined the incest self insertion vibe they want (emma or phia).

Bc both emma and liv have been vocal about how they see their show characters (key fucking word: show), they have recieved an onslaught on weirdos being cruel to them. With that unfair criticism comes the most ludicrous fancasts. It’s all wrapped in misogyny and sometimes even transphobia. The amount of gross screenshots I’ve seen from people the day emma was casted. Saying they aren’t ‘pretty enough’ to play ~the realm’s delight~…. The gag is most of those people now have Emma’s Rhaenyra as their pfp?? It just goes to show how all that love for a character is wrapped up in a wig and period clothing.

It’s becoming more and more clear to me, a thought I already had btw, that people only ‘stuck by’ Emma’s version of Rhaenyra for the delusional targaryen lover/staunch team black to the death of it all. Not bc they actually value emma or their opinions/acting. Bc the moment emma says anything but ‘Rhaenyra loves her uncle daddy’ (gag) or that Rhaenyra hates Alicent, suddenly people turn on them. Suddenly it’s ‘Olivia must be getting in their ear’. As if liv and emma being close means emma is going to change their thoughts or compromise their acting. Emma is an adult with their own feelings. It’s very weird to blame olivia on them clearly knowing that Rhaenyra cares for Alicent and vice versa.

Y’all need to put the played out Holliday Grainger (mind you she’s a transphobe who isn’t holding a candle acting wise to emma) fancast DOWN, and pick up some common sense and human decency

#I really try not to get ranting on here but my god I saw something that pissed me off #y’all are so weird and cruel over a fucking tv show #mind you no one is fancasting any of the guys parts 🤔🤔 #liv and emma have to censor themselve about their characters while other can just straight up misread theirs #I don’t even know how to tag this #let’s be real most of the people doing this are targ Stans sooo #anti targ stans

Okay I was curious about something and it would be a great help if you had the answers for it (if not you can just ignore it, don't worry)

So I was scrolling through Tumblr and I found a post with the ethnicity percentages of each member of the Batfam. I already knew due to the canon comics that Cass was East Asian, Duke is black, Damian is Romani and that Tim is at least half Arabic. But Jason's one actually surprised me because I haven't read it anywhere else (I guess it is a headcanon)

In some fics I have read he calls reader Arabic pet mames because they claim that his father/mother could have been Arabic too. But other people portray him as at quart or half Latino 🤔

Idk I wanted to know if it was canon or a fandom opinion, Google didn't have the answer and you are probably the Tumblr user who knows more about the Batfam that I know. Ohh and btw if it is not canon what are your personal thoughts about it?

That's all, sorry for bothering, don't really have to answer if you don't want to. Hope you have a good day🫶🏼

of course i cant ignore this, it’s far too interesting! i was thrilled to receive a message like this bcos most of my life has centered around batman and co so let’s get into it.

i’ll start with this: it’s entirely up to interpretation! there aren’t wrong answers here.

i’ve only ever found eurocentric ties for jason todd on google (i actually looked this up pretty recently bcos i was devising my personal niche fancasts for jason todd and dick grayson) so i think he should be anything in anyone’s mind. projection is entirely encouraged. arabic or latino or whatever, anyone can headcanon him different than white and i’m sure one day we’ll have some definitive representation of a marginalized group within him from a comic book writer/artist that felt seen. an example i adore is terry mcginnis from batman beyond (1999) was never confirmed to be any ethnicity, for the most part he was considered wonder bread white until a guy by the name of sean gordon murphy had interpreted him to be wasian when first watching the show and then confirmed it later on by writing it into his series batman: beyond the white knight.

i have actually seen the posts you’re talking about regarding jason todd being arabic and speaking the language and i adored it. <33 i had no idea what the source was so it led me to believe the author just came up with it and that’s what fanfic is all about! writing your interests, indulging yourself, and projecting.

so yes, jason todd may not have a confirmed ethnicity, and he may look wonder bread white sometimes, which is all the more reason to project. he’s a blank slate, so give him some flavor.
