my redacted face claims / fancasts pt. 2

aka the squeakquel

the response to these has been so overwhelming in the best way possible. these face claims have become very important and indulgent to me over the near year(!!) i've been into redacted, and knowing that other people like them means a lot to me as well

so, here's a pt 2 of sorts. i only have three face claims in this one, but i'll make up for it by adding my piercing hc's for some of the characters (because piercings are a special interest of mine)

let's go!

GEORDI

andrew garfield (actor) (the amazing spider-man)

; so he originally was my guy face claim because "30/90" is one of my guy songs, but then i thought about it, and andrew garfield in his spider-man movie is literally so geordi coded i had to change it up. do you see the vision?? like with the glasses and everything??

; i think part of why this works so well is that while andrew garfield is incredibly attractive, in tasm he plays peter parker so awkward and wallflower-ly that it screams geordi to me. also, his range as an actor would be so good for geordi's videos, since there's so many different emotions that go through his playlist

PORTER

kit young (actor) (shadow & bones)

; OK HEAR ME OUT. i started watched s&b around the time i got into redacted, but when the hyperfixation for redacted won, i kinda stopped watching it. but that didn't stop me from filing kit young away as a potential face claim. i just had to wait a few months before porter got introduced

; kit young's jesper portrayal was so impressive (i've never read six of crows tbh but my point still stands) and multilayered that really translates well to porter. he's flirty, he's deep, his history is a mystery but explains why he does the things he's doing—it's the perfect concoction that makes up porter as well. also, imagine this guy just covered in tattoos. that's my porter solaire right there

LASKO

matthew gray guebler (actor, author) (criminal minds)

; this, fun fact, wasn't my first pick for a lasko hc. however, after seeing an edit on tiktok (because of course) of mgg meeting with a fan, it hit me like a ton of bricks that he was lasko. i mean. guys. c'mon. like not even because i had a very strong attachment to reid when i watched criminal minds and it feels like a stereotypical casting choice for lasko

; mgg’s portrayal of spencer reid was very important to me when i started watching the show, and i think that even if lasko is a bit more expressive than reid, and goes on tangents that are more fluttery than factual, mgg definitely can do it right. also, imagine lasko with reid’s bird-headed cane? or, because part of my hc that after the inversion, hux cut off his locs/shaved his hair, and my freelancer insert also shaved his hair, lasko ended up cutting his hair—so it was almost like reid’s very long hair to shorter hair transition in the seasons. am i overexplaining this?? oh well, it fits i suppose hdskdhks

ok! we’ve gotten to the bonus content! here are some piercings i think some of the redacted bois have (cw for some spicy piercings)

GUY he has a few actually! - he has both of his lobes pierced once, and on his right ear he also has a helix piercing he wears with a little horseshoe hoop - he used to have an eyebrow piercing in high school. he took it out after starting college cuz it got infected, but he replaced it with a lip ring on the left side of his mouth. usually wears a hoop in it - he also has a tongue piercing. i am indulgent with my faves, what can i say? he originally got it for spicy spicy times but after it healed he learned it was also really good for fidgeting with at work also he only has one nipple piercing cuz he got the first one and hated how painful it was and chickened out of the second one, so now he only has one pierced

GAVIN hoo boy - so gavin is maybe my most pierced character (or might be tied). this man has sooooo many piercings. the ones on his ears are inspired by visual kei/j-fashion styles (just imagine in gold instead of silver). he has at least ten in each ear (that's just a general idea not the specifics), included large stretched ears - this size specifically (16mm / 5/8th) - on his face, he has a septum, snake bites and his tongue (you cannot escape my tongue piercing hc’s) - on the rest of his body, gavin has both nipples pierced, as well as some below the belt… (three of them in fact) - for some extra-ness, his horns are also pierced, two in his left and one in his right. they kind of only appear in aria though

LASKO - he has three in each ear: standard lobe for both, a second lobe and a conch in the right ear, and a helix and tragus in his left - has the right side of his nose pierced (which he got after my freelancer took him with them to get a new tattoo) and plans to eventually get a septum - most of lasko's jewelry is silver and plain looking due to D.A.M.N.’s rules about body mods (you can have them the jewelry just has to be very simple)

if i get the energy to make more of these i will. or, if anyone would be interested in my listener oc's and sonas, let me know and i could maybe talk abt them

my redacted face claims / fancasts

literally only two ppl asked for this ( @infiniterotting @mrsmiagreer youre both responsible for this /j) but i will take any chance to infodump

most of these are based on the vibes i get from the characters, if you perceive them differently that’s alright! i’m just having fun with it :]

let’s go!

GUY

ross lynch (musician, actor)

; somehow i didn’t think of him while i was first trying to figure out who my face claim for guy would be. originally i had my geordi face claim as my guy one, but you’ll see why i swapped them eventually dhjsdh!! ; ross has the like perfect amount of chaotic energy but also playful flirting that works really well with guy. like, the shaggy dirty blond hair, the dimples, his eyes… like, yeah. also this mf is 6’, which is taller than i had for guy originally, but him being tall is lowkey funny

ELLIOTT

josh hutcherson (actor)

; as my hc of elliott includes him being trans, i wasn’t intentionally looking for a short actor to face claim for him (he's 5'5). but then i saw the first pic of josh hutcherson and all thoughts went out the window. as a member of the beanie boy elliott committee, it felt like fate. like imagine him with the piercings erik has, creating dreamscapes and fighting blake. god i wanna destroy him. elliott's one of my faves, and this face claim just makes my brain happy ; josh hutcherson has got the range to be able to play a character like elliott i think. also, like, y’know. it just makes sense to me ok dhsjdhj

DAMIEN

calum hood (bassist for 5 Seconds of Summer)

; so doing research on calum hood made me learn that he’s scottish/māori, which was surprising to me. my hc for damien doesn’t line up with that at all, but i think calum hood has the perfect look for him regardless. strong but not muscly, a nice smile, and the hair?? i think yes ; my damien hc includes him being trans, fun fact. he’s extremely stealth, like only his mom and the damn crew know he’s trans. its ok firecracker, you’re still valid. ik calum hood isn’t trans, but his vibes still fit the resident fire boi

━━☆

IVAN

leonardo decaprio (younger) (actor)

; i literally cannot explain why he’s my ivan face claim. i think i saw someone else fancast him, and was like “oh yeah, that works!” and then never thought abt it again dhsjhddj!! i have nothing else to say abt this honestly

━━☆

HUXLEY

wasabi no ginger (big hero 6) / harry samba (model)

; so wasabi was my first casting for huxley because i have the hc that he had locs that he cut off after the inversion as a form of starting over, and when thinking about what his hair would look like afterwards, i thought abt wasabi. and then i thought abt how they’re similar in that they’re both not taken seriously in their fields due to stereotyping, and how wasabi is big and gentle and huxley is big and gentle too, so here we are. i think this makes sense ; i thought having an actual real person face claim for hux would be good to have, since the other characters have them too. i found this model after doing a bit of looking on pinterest, and i like this guy’s confidence (also he’s like. built. which works perfectly). he seems confident but goofy, which is so perfectly hux-coded. just imagine them combined to make my huxley face claim fgdhsjk or like wasabi is s1-s2 hux & harry samba is s3 or something

ok so i don't wanna make this post like ten pages long so if this gets enough attention i will do a pt 2 with more of my face claims (and maybe some extra goodies like my piercing ideas for the speaker characters)

thank you for indulging me dhskhdks
