#who are we fancasting as who

[fromtheseventhhell]

I also find it funny that fandom will only accept Lyanna being her non-conforming, wild self in the context of saying that Arya isn't meant to be pretty; Any other day we get back-to-back posts about how Lyanna is actually super traditionally feminine cause she sniffled at a song once, so she's actually more like Sansa. Instead of constantly speaking on Arya and Lyanna, how about you guys reflect on why your standards of beauty for women are attached to how well they perform feminity within the patriarchy?

#lyanna stark #arya stark #asoiaf #/Lyanna isn't actually pretty she was a wild tomboy/ Those two things are not mutually exclusive 😭 #how you look is not a reflection of your personality and this is also a running theme within the story #we have morally good characters who are ugly and morally bad characters who are beautiful this is like...kindergarten level #Lyanna is idealized in terms of her personality hence /you saw her beauty but not the iron underneath/ #and Ned correcting Robert when he said Lyanna wouldn't have shamed him like Cersei had #he's a very shallow misogynistic character and I truly doubt he would've been as attached to the idea of her without surface level beauty #reminds me of people saying that Olivia Hussey is a bad fancast for them because she has a /doll like/ beauty and they're /rougher/ 😭 #as though their entire facial structure magically changed once they realized they enjoyed playing with swords instead of sewing sdksdkdsksd #it's giving that one tiktok with the /cat pretty vs doe pretty vs bunny pretty/ #even if you wanted to make the case that her beauty is idealized in her death we get Arya described a pretty multiple times? #idk it's just so wild to me to use personality as an indication of looks it just sounds so stupid #Arya/Lyanna can still have /delicate/ features (which is extremely subjective) and still have a wild personality #how about we acknowledge that the perception of both of them is warped by strict patriarchal gender norms instead? #some real analysis just to shake things up idk

friend sent me these two photos unprompted with the text "welcome back alexander hamilton. red locks big nose and beautiful anime eyes iktr. my man my man my man."

congrats leland francis fraser. you have ousted tom blyth as my friend's alexander hamilton of the month, private subsidiary of white boy of the month.

#honestly though? can't even get mad because it's a good fancast #like the facial structure works! slim face. strong jawline and nose. pale + red hair! #what do y'all think? #maybe it's a yassified version especially if we go off the charles peale paintings but a lot of people thought he was handsome so who knows #it's funny because historians fall into two camps: his immense charm amplified his looks/his immense looks amplified his charm. #getting paid tenure to debate the hotness of a dead founding father iktr #leland francis fraser #alexander hamilton #historical hamilton #fancast #amrev

people should edit young david tennant as barty more often,

definitely not saying this because i am obsessed with david tennant

#bias? me? neverrr #marauders #marauders era #harry potter #hp #dead gay wizards #barty crouch jr #bartemius crouch junior #b <3 #me rambling #david tennant #tbh david also just fits barty really well so idk why we dont use him in the first place #who needs a fancast when we have david tennant???

Does anyone have any fancasts for the Nevermoor movie that they'll always stand by?

I throw various actors at the wall for Squall because I have no clue about him and welcome a surprise, but I genuinely can't think of anyone but Domhnall Gleeson being a perfect fit for Jupiter

#nevermoor #nevermoor movie #yeah I have no clue if he can sing. but idc. he can learn. #just sometimes i'll see those like fancast sites and see other ppls thoughts for jupiter and i'm like...... we are not the same at all lol #jupiter and squall are def going to be known actors and I just constantly wonder who they could be..... #most if not all of my squall ideas aren't that serious #its usually just “this guy can sing and act. why not” #the fact that the movie is a musical makes it so much harder to cast...... i'm so scared of it lol #in the far future when/if casting eventually gets announced i will be following the news with both interest and horror equally #also if you ever see me misspelling domhnall gleeson's name i'm sorry. but my brain has remembered it the wrong way and I can't overwrite i

i was poking around to see if i could find enough fancasts to do a graphic of Indigenous Stark fancasts and i found a great Sansa and Jon but struggled to find anyone else which is kinda funny to me lol. but look at them!!

his name is Asivak Koostachin and her name is Riit (or Rita Claire Mike-Murphy) and they're perfect!!

#she even has lighter hair and they both have long faces i love it #getting on my soap box #jonsa #jon snow #sansa stark #actually i think i found an arya it's just that one of them looks a little too old and the other is a little too young #starks are indigenous and you can fight me about it @ george #he literally threw in the land bridge (that wasn't real WE WERE ALWAYS HERE BITCH IF SCIENTISTS ACTUALLY *TALKED* TO US THEY'D KNOW THIS) #BUT THEN HE STILL MADE THE NORTHERNERS WHITE??? GEORGE. U COULD HAVE MADE THEM MONGOLIAN. BROWN PEOPLE DO EXIST IN COLD CLIMATES I SWEAR #NOT EVERYTHING WAS INVENTED BY YTS. ANYWYAY. these tags aren't relevent except to the argment that the REAL indigenous people are the cotf #which is a deepy racist argument that annoys the shit out of me. oh so the only indigenous people in westeros are not the ones whose cultur #us considered superstitious and was stamped out by Fantasy Catholicism who got here ON A LAND BRIDGE and have long faces and dark hair #its the green people with magic. yes. that's not a weird thing to say at all!!!!!!!!!!!! #fancasts

[steelycunt]

ridi im sorry i need to rant and i think youll get it 😭 like not to be a bitch but this fandom kinda going off the rails and annoying the shit out of me https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRbYASpf/ everybody in the comments unironically loving it,,, i mean wtvr ship who you want but its kinda getting delusional like ppl are just operating on thin air and pretty fancasts atp and i do Not understand or emotionally connect with any of it. at least w wolfstar theres so much material and foundation to explore but what is all the rest of this?? just hot celebrity fancasts and crack. to be fair part of me respects taking a terfs canon material and making everybody gay but the way it seems to be so oversaturating fics and the fandom that characters dont even feel like their original selves .. atp its all just surface level OCs

hello! yes! i'll be honest talking about things like this always make me a little nervous, and i feel obligated to preface anything i say with a disclaimer that none of it really matters, nothing i say matters, and you should do what you like, because--who cares. i am not an authority on--anything, frankly. my opinion holds no more weight than the next guy's, and all i'm doing here is giving it, so. essentially what im saying is--people are perfectly entitled to disagree with me, but people are not entitled to be mean to me about it xx

having said that. it is my personal opinion that s x barty is one of the worst fucking things i have ever heard lol. who even is barty who is that guy. why would s be interested in him at all. i do not understand it it does not make sense to me. from where are we sourcing the character traits and personality that we are giving barty that would ever endear sirius to him, because it objectively cannot be canon.

overall i do not get the new interest in barty + evan + pandora (+ regulus, but we won't go there)...at all, other than guessing that people were bored with the marauders and wanted a new version of them (and new celebrities to fancast) while simultaneously changing next to nothing about them other than superimposing them onto the first slytherin side characters they could rustle up. i expect ive become a bit of a broken record in regards to my dislike of the popular meow-meow-ification + complete absolution of regulus as a character in order to make him a loveable oc (just as i think erasing all the negative traits that r/s have in order to make them more likeable is just as boring), and all of that applies to those other guys as well (with the slight difference that they are, somehow, even less interesting and significant than regulus in canon), so i won't get into that too much. but i think what you say about having no emotional connection to any of it is exactly right lol--it is a sort of shift? i guess? in the fandom that is simply of no interest to me. they are characters that i just have no emotional investment in and admittedly struggle a little to understand why other people do. i am emotionally invested in, like, five characters overall (and even out of those--there's only two i'm really here for innit xx) and i personally cannot extend that investment to a creepy little side character who is mentioned maybe twice in the entire series.

and that is okay! i do not need to understand it. i don't want to say it annoys me because honestly--i don't go there, its nothing to do with me. if i dont like it i just wont interact with it, and the fact that it doesn't interest me has no bearing on what other people are into or want to do, and i couldn't give less of a shit what people do with the canon material, which is largely garbage anyway. take the bits you want from it, play around with those and ignore the rest. in that respect we are all doing exactly the same thing. but yeah i think s x barty is genuinely awful lol. hate it. very terrible. he's already got a loser werewolf boyfriend and he loves him so so much. leave him alone.

#i know most people are reasonable and thus it is perhaps overly cautious of me to insist on shrouding my unpopular #opinions in like. layer upon layer of placatory disclaimers but. well im a rather anxious guy i can't help it xx but im going to use these #tags to have a bit more of a consequence-less hater hour so. if you like regulus or barty or any of that lot i suggest you look away now #because i am about to express opinions about them that you probably wouldnt agree with + wouldnt enjoy reading!! #like full warning what im about to do is NOT any sort of analysis or defence of my opinion i will just be hating on them. is that clear. #okay. having said that. hater hour. barty and evan and honestly regulus were all cunts? like they were terrible people why do we care #about them now. regulus interests me solely as a piece of context for sirius' character. i could not give less of a shit about him as a #person in his own right. which leads me to my next hater moment: why oh why oh WHY on earth would canon james potter be interested #in canon regulus black. it makes sense in like a muggle au where they are virtually completely different characters but canon? #why would he be attracted to him. there is nothing. there is no chemistry i am ASLEEP and so is james. he would not give that #guy a second look. like it just baffles me it truly does. i feel like you have to bend over backwards to create a situation in which #james potter would ever show an interest in regulus. and i know jegulus is a fucking force to be reckoned with nowadays but god i just #do not like that ship. also i think the fact that barty and pandora and evan are essentially just oc characters who have been coloured #in by general fanon consensus shows in that what they have become is just. not interesting or complex or well fleshed out lol. like #idk i feel like they are just. very shallow. deliberately. so they are easy to like and easy to ship because that is what theyre there for. #god it feels so good to say all this. i will never be a hater again (<- lying) but i needed to be able to just. say this just once xx #also if you needed any more indication what barty and evan and regulus are here to do you just have to look at their #super-hot super-conventionally attractive celebrity model fancasts. like it all adds up its like but what if these death eaters were #not actually evil :-( what if they were really sweet and also? so so hot. like they were all so hot and actually really good #and none of them meant to be evil they didnt want to be :-( they were just hot good guys all in love with each other and the evil stuff #they did wasnt their fault :-( like that has to be. the most boring thing you couldve possibly done with these blank slates. surely. #anyway. im done now but i enjoyed hater hour immensely this was so fucking good for my soul xx thanks and goodnight xx #anon #telegram #scream hang on sorry. just looked at the comments of that tiktok where people are saying they were prison besties. girl. girl. #girl they were in prison for very different reasons baby. baby you know that right. baby look at me. look at me

I think the main reason everyone's been saying more hollywood-ish names is cause iirc Jeff Fowler himself did say at some panel, they (probably paramount) had a big name in mind for Shadow.

It does suck, especially since I wanted either one of the previous VAs or the guy who does Vergil dmc, but I'm willing since Idris' Knux was great. They did say as well they already know Shadow has the biggest impact of the characters besides sonic and eggman, so they should cast appropriately or else the trailers are gonna get shit talked lol

keanu would suck eggs at it tho, he's great, loved him in uh. spongebob the movie 3?

But he's far too gritty and dark a voice for Shadow. Humphrey was perfect imo, and that's partly because he also sounded fairly young. Stoic and cool, but also young and kinda bratty when coincided with the right lines.

He's far more of a character than tragedy, edge and old vengeance and I hope whoever is casted reflects that.

that all said if fucking christian bale or adam driver is him I will burn down paramount studios. (other popular choices that I actually HATE)

yeah i remember seeing some stuff from the panel youre talking about, i dont think it was jeff fowler though i think it was some other guys? and they said something about how whoever was in charge of casting already had a particular big movie star in mind for shadow but they hadnt confirmed whether or not theyd be voicing him yet. (i think this was over a year ago though so they could have actually officially cast someone by now) but the not so great suggestions for movie shadow's voice had been going around since before that panel happened and im sure most people havent even seen it so it cant be the main reason

and yes david humphrey was such a good voice for shadow, captures the character perfectly and i really hope that his movie voice sounds at least somewhat similar to that one

#and yeah i dont think hollywood movie stars being given voice acting roles is inherently bad #or will always result in a bad performance #im just tired of ''whats the biggest name we can get'' taking priority over ''who actually fits the role best''. if that makes sense #nightmare sonic 3 cast: chris pratt shadow. scarlett johansson rouge. taylor swift amy. etc #i was gonna put somebody for maria and gerald but i cant think of anything #asks #the only actual voice actor ive seen being thrown around somewhat often for movie shadow fancasts is matthew mercer #i guess everyone forgot he already voices espio in the games #well i guess it wouldnt be impossible considering there are sonic voice actors who have done multiple characters #but also imagine . they get one of the game voice actors for shadow and its not even one of the guys who already voiced him before

A drawing of a South Asian Rapunzel ( with Avantika as a face model for that )

Seeing the whole drama over a FREAKING FANCAST is so frustrating and heartbreaking.

But if more and more people are gonna create fanart of a Desi Rapunzel just to piss racists off, then so be it.

I drew Desi Rapunzel with a Mughal Empire lavender saree btw, with lilac roses at two sides of her head, and a bunch of small white flowers at the back of her long braid.

🤩🤩🤩🤩

#avantika #desi rapunzel #not really who i would think of fancasting at first #BUT IF WE GONNA PISS OFF RACISTS EVEN MORE LETS DO IT #desi rapunzel made me have some ideas #ITS JUST A FANCAST BE CHILL

[forasofterme]

Don't y'all do fancasts no more? I need to steal some faceclaims here 😭

#I SEE people saying shit like “there are hundreds of male blond fcs” like WHERE?? 😭😭 Gimme gimme #faceclaim #fancast #Blonde blue eyes dude much like Jason Grace and a girl who could pass as some evil susan pevensie #I'm suffering like… “no that's a Ken doll I can't use him. His hair is dyed. Can't do anything with him but a nerd. That ain't even blond.” #Actually if we go for actors/singers only there really is almost no natural blonde dudes and even for faux there aren't many young

The whole Crowded Rooms thing with Tom Holland is, once again, simply proving all Spider-Man are bisexual.

#Once again shout out to Andrew Garfield who fancasted and pushed for Michael B. Jordan for his MJ #it may have contributed to why we didn’t get a TASM 3 but he was so correct #idc if he was trying to be true to the character or just wanted to kiss MBJ #HE WAS RIGHT #dude risked it all #he is not the first person to fall into the trap of wanting to kiss MBJ nor will he be the last #the domino effect is crazy with this thread if you keep pulling tbh #MBJ who would later play Johnny in an F4 movie #and Andrew kissing the actor who plays Deadpool at an award show on national television #he’s done so much for us #either way good for Tom holland #biderman #all Spider-Man’s are bi

i'm a little out of the loop- i don't know the source of this beatles biopic talk. but i'm here to say, jack lowden as paul mccartney, please???

i mean he can even pull of the beloved mcbeardy look

i caught the likeness a while ago and if we're talking biopics... please make this happen

#inspired by the fact ive seen reels fancasting popular actors who look nothing like paul #we dont need some trending actor we need someone who can pull off the doe eyed buck tooth crinkle eyed charm #i dare say. jack even has the hips for it. anyway. #if anyone is interested i think jeremy allen white is a good john but he isnt english #timothee makes a good george in my opinion but i feel like id be publicly shamed for saying so #i have no leads on ringo #he's just one in a million #WAIT- season 4 of slow horses clearly proves that jack can blend asshole and beloved baby boy for that perfect mccartney vibe #part of my pretentious snobbery is opposing biopics on principal but. if its jack as paul. i actually want it #the beatles

desi people what's your fancast for pavitr prabhakar

#pavitr prabhakar #spiderman india #astv #i feel like any of the age accurate fancast would come from itv because #i can't remember last time i saw an actual teen in indian cinema #so like....who are we going with? #i just saw someone fancast tom holland for my boy and i just- #imagine telling pavitr that we fancast a bristish man to play him he'll be so rightfully enraged #nothing against tom he just isnt pavitr

i don’t think the timeless video was the cringiest thing i could have done under the circumstances actually. i could have done something much weirder. frankly i should have

#who wants to come up with some good tda fancasts for next time i’m obsessed with that series #i’ll make edits it’ll be awesome. and cringe. but we will be free…
