#Fancast... sort of

[maegorsbignaturals]

OK so i am bored so i Will do a funny thing

Here are some actors and Actresses i would like to see casted as Targaryens:

Sarah Gadon Is soooo pretty to me! Since i saw her in world without end as Lady Philippa i tought 'Yep, that is a Targaryen Lady right there!' She gaves me the vibes of a TargrGirl post extintion of the Dragons.

Alexia Giordano. Maybe i want more Targ Girls with Curly CURLY hair or i have a type of woman, but i don't know, i think a white silver hair and a dragon as Pet would suit her well. Now i could see her well playing a Viserra Targaryen, Maybe even a Daena the Defiant. She has that playful looks and something in her that makes her look like she wants something and she wants it now.

Bailey bass. Actually i cheated on this one, she is my fancast for Daenaera Velaryon. My Girl Bailey knows how to act and deliver characters with such heavy internal conflicts in such a GOOD way, and since we are alredy going with the Black!Velaryons, i cannot think of someone else.

Arneurine Barnard. Look at this mans' wet cat EYES, look at his aquiline nose! At his eyebags and looks like he might die of pneumonia! He is really giving me the vibes of a TargMan who might die of the Second Son Syndrome (perhaps bcs he played Richard III in the White Queen Idonow), but i really think he would suit well the whole aesthetic of the Targaryen Dynasty.

James Campber Bower Not gonna lie, when i saw him as Caius Volturi in Twilight and then as Vecna/01 in stranger things i got an uncanny feeling. For me, he is a perfect Aerion Brightflame, handsome but with the capacity of being a man that can cause the deepest terror in people.

Do you guys have any actor that you would like to see in a Targaryen Adaptation?

Every time someone fancasts Viktor as Timothée Chalamet a fairy dies

[ormymarius]

Sounds like Jason is officially done as Aquaman which means the rest of the cast is done as their characters too. It’s a shame bc I definitely could’ve watched a third Aquaman movie but I hope the Aquafam will be in the new DCU at some point at least.

This Is How I Can Still Win: How The Penroses Are Related to House Targaryen

SO. In case you don’t remember - you probably don’t, it’s a throwaway line and likely just George retconning and not doing it on purpose - Jeor Mormont misremembers Aelinor Penrose as being Aerys I’s sister instead of her cousin. Here’s the quote, from Jon I in A Clash of Kings:

"No, this was Aerys the First. The one Robert deposed was the second of that name.” “How long ago was this?” “Eighty years or close enough,” the Old Bear said, “and no, I still hadn’t been born, though Aemon had forged half a dozen links of his maester’s chain by then. Aerys wed his own sister, as the Targaryens were wont to do, and reigned for ten or twelve years."

Potentially, this means that Aelinor has ~the Valyrian look~ and that’s why Jeor got them mixed up. But when you look at the information surrounding the Penroses that existed in this era, it looks a little wonky because of this line from The Mystery Knight:

"At the crossing of the Mandel, he cut down the sons of Lady Penrose one by one. They say he spared the life of the youngest one as a kindness to his mother."

So how can Elaena marry Ronnel, Lord of the Parchments, only have one son, yet Quentyn Ball slew all of “Lady Penrose’s” sons? How is Aelinor related to the Penroses and the Targaryens? What woman of Targaryen blood would marry into this random ass house in the middle of Stormlands? Why was it so important to retcon Aelinor from a sister into a cousin? Well - let’s have a think about what other houses have recent Valyrian blood…we have some female lines after all…perhaps even Targaryen women that married into politically active houses, who would love to marry back into the main branch again…I wonder who that could be…..Oh what’s that? Is that-

DRAGON TWINS TIME.

Allow me to spin two family trees for you, one where Rhaena’s daughter marries into the Penroses, and one where Baela’s daughter marries into the Penroses:

(pls applaud me for the amount of math i did for this very unserious post!) green is a romantic/marriage line, black is a parental relationship.

I am noting that this would mean Alyssa (I made her name up btw, mostly because I thought it would piss Daemon off to have a Hightower named after his beloved mother) gives birth at around 34, which is a perfectly reasonable age to have a child at, and Laena gives birth at like 40, which is definitely a lil risky! BUT there’s plenty of time for Laena to have other children, and for a second born son to have had a child at that same age, so if you think it’s a stretch for Laena to have a kid at 40 (perfectly fair) just pretend there’s a son there named “Roland” or something as Aelinor’s dad and Laena’s second born.

Now, FIRST OF ALL, this makes the cousin thing make sense, but also it makes it deeply funny - Aelinor is Aerys’ great aunt’s granddaughter. That’s a close enough relationship that you would consider them a cousin but it’s also the exact relationship Robert has to Rhaegar (because Rhaegar is Robert’s great uncle’s grandson). Both Aerys and Robert avoiding incest/kinslaying on a technicality lol.

But SECOND OF ALL. Do you know what makes me absolutely fucjing feral about this. Alyn Velaryon is messing around with a woman so much younger than him. That she marries his GRANDSON. because SHE IS THE SAME AGE AS HIS GRANDSON. i feel like george is weird enough to do the Baela scenario too.

And LASTLY OF ALL. Notice there’s plenty of time for Alyssa/Laena aka Lady Penrose after she’s married, to have several sons for Quentyn Ball to slay on the Redgrass Field, including Elaena’s husband, Ronnel himself, and for Elaena’s son, Robin Penrose, to inherit the seat afterwards. It also means, since it’s mentioned that Elaena married Michael Manwoody soon after her second husband died, that the two of them got a long time together. Why is this important? Because Michael Manwoody was her marriage for love and I want Elaena to have been with him for a long time.

This scenario gives her like 9 years with Ronnel (kinda sad, their kids don’t get to know their dad very long) and a minimum of 15 years with Michael Manwoody, who is apparently not the step dad but the dad that stepped up.

Re: casting your OCs. For Q I feel like a bad casting director who is trying to like. Who’s trying to cast your OCs like they casted the Minecraft movie (does that make sense) would cast Q as Lily Singh

YES minecraft movie level choices is what i want <3 im seeing ur vision (i dont know lily singh very well but im imagining itd involve makeup on the level of her dad character w the drawn on beard) just shit that makes no sense when u think abt it for more than 3 seconds

[tiger-moran]

This reminds me of seeing someone's fancasting for Moriarty (amongst other characters) the other day (I don't know what universe they were referring to exactly) and it was yet another one where they want Moriarty to be some late teens-early twenties pretty boy

[pynkhues]

i was today years old when i learned that jacob and sam's dreamcast of gabrielle was monica bellucci, which blew my mind and now i can't believe i've never seen this suggestion before?? i mean here's an italian goddess who speaks perfect french and GOD just imagining her blonde in menswear is giving me palpitations. i took a look at her filmography in recent years and but it was so eclectic that i honestly could not tell the chances. the fact that she's dating tim burton now is giving somewhat questionable taste (at least in my opinion lol) but hey that also means she's still into goth culture? have you ever considered her as a candidate?

Oh, I love that! She actually had crossed my mind a while ago, but I ruled her out for a reason I can't remember now (I think maybe the fact that she still leans very much towards film, even though she has done some TV in recent years). She has such a great presence on screen, and like you said, her being Italian but speaking perfect French is like - - literally Gabrielle, haha. Suuuuch a good choice.

IF YOU THINK HE IS HOT-CODED YOU DO NOT GET HIM!! until the local blacksmith strikes me down with a red-hot poker and my horse bolts from underneath my limp and sizzling form

She knew how to sing and how to dance well, And how to fit words together handsomely, How to play the lute and other instruments To drive away sad thoughts.  Beyond these assets and such exquisite graces Which she happily acquired in France, She was beautiful and of elegant stature, And even more attractive were her eyes […]

KnY Actors AU (Swordsmith Village Edition)

bc i got many tags/replies/messages telling me to do the Actor AU... here i am... look ma I did the Actor AU !!! details/thoughts under the cut!

(for the sake of my sanity I'll just use their character names for everyone lol)

Mitsuri is some sort of popular athlete/gymnast/stuntwoman who posts videos of herself doing stunts... Even before she got cast she's already a popular fancast for the character, helped by her already signature pink hair <3

Tanjiro *is* a popular actor with lots of experience ALSO he's a heartthrob & just super cool & everyone loves him - like he's just perfect Tanjiro.

The two little Nezuko-chans are his actual lil sisters!!! They are twins!!!

Genya and Muichiro are dating irl and they're super cute off-cam - even tho they don't share a lot of scenes this season they always hang out on each other's sets/shoots.

Genya is a quiet bean!! He's just in his corner!! His favorite character is Giyuu (which annoys his onscreen brother lmao Sanemi's like "Why not ME?")

Muichiro & Mitsuri are both super active in social media & post BTS pics!

Inosuke is a dancer and originally applied to be a background stuntperson BUT THEY ARE SO PRETTY and had amazing chemistry with the cast they were casted anyway. They're besties with Nezuko bc I love them so much ur honor.

That's all this is completely self-indulgent I make no promises of more I just wanted to draw my favorite characters ahaha

[aroaessidhe]

metal from heaven fans i have character design sketches for most of the cast I would love if anyone has Thoughts Ideas or Suggestions (gay sketches as a reward if you read to the bottom)

i did..... not quite every on page character, but pretty much everyone who's there more than once and at least vaguely described (or like. I'd do gwyar if it wouldn't be a spoiler)

all the character descriptions I have recorded are here by the way !!

some of the characters are described a lot but most are like.....their face/hair but nothing about their clothes, or the other way around, so for a lot of them I just winged it - part of the reason I wanted to do so many characters roughly was so get a sense of the overall styles and vibes? august said they were thinking about john galliano for fashion so I took a lot of inspo from that and also a heavy dose of western vibes.....fashion is not my strong point though. truly just stuck it all in a blender and slapped it on.

and also for most of these it's sort of first-or-second-pass designs - basically just getting an initial feel rather than really solidly Designed. so likely to change. I could definitely push a lot of them further!!!

fingerbluffs/choir etc!

sisphe is described with having sunlight trapped in her hair and then also a dark curtain of hair and it's PROBABLY dark but I did imagine her blonde initially because of that. going with blonde hair as a kid that got darker to compromise...

her disguise outfit isn't really described other than gloves but I kinda matched it to marney disguise (below)

harlow took me so long to figure out getting her face like I imagined and also like how I described....I'm not sure still. i love her sm

amon is accidentally giving victor arcane. the character archetype + colour palette I guess. I specifically made it blue/black with pink highlights because of the tullian gender colours though..

tbh I still haven't figured out how their bandit hoods work. I think they pull over from the back of the head but I can't figure out how to draw that in a way that works so they're bandanas for now

not pictured but what are we imagining the lurchers like. just fun punky sff motorbikes?

aristrocrats !!

i am pretty happy with my marney and goss (though goss could be shorter...)

wanna do more vikare outfits

yann i. chauncey supposed to be quite boring and nondescript but also. sure does like Like A Random Dude in this lineup huh

basically all of the bottom row are only lightly described so I just went with the initial vague mental image I had tbh!

could I put more effort into giving them more cultural distinctions / make the areas they're from more visually distinct? yes probably. it's hard to get a sense of some of that when some of the places are within ignavia and some are like.. separate continents - and there's no map to sort it out in my head. (you may notice i wrote where they're from in blue by the names though)

description: 'detailed traditional tullian/drustish/etc embroidery' me: here's some vague scribbles

could deffo get some more body diversity in here

anyway genuinely very interested if anyone is like 'I imagined x to be completely different in y way' or fancasts or anything else! i am so open to and interested in making changes if other people have thoughts (and like if you're not an artist so can't draw it yourself) (or even if you are an artist but don't have the time and want to make me draw it instead. i know the feeling)

----

thanks for reading here's sketches:

I promise I will post these properly on my art blog sometime. also if anyone has ideas for little sketches like these, of any particular interactions or whatever....
