#could not find a picture of sami zayn's parents but tbf wrestlers who don't have kids and aren't part of a dynasty usually DON'T

[atopvisenyashill]

whose photo did you use for aelinor penrose in the graphic where she’s the hypothetical granddaughter of baela? i recognize india from queen charlotte in the granddaughter of rhaena graphic

damn i think i mixed up the dragon twins 😭 who is the aelinor penrose who isn’t queen charlotte dhshdhshdj

aldklsafj it's fine anon lmao. here's the graphic anon is referring to btw, from my "how is aelinor related to house targaryen" meta-

The Aelinor Penrose that is the granddaughter of Rhaena (on the right) is Samantha Barks. She played Eponine in the Les Miserables movie and 25th anniversary, and has been in a bunch of productions since then (her oom pa pa as nancy in oliver! is genuinely one of my favorites, she's so fun). She has one (1) black grandparent so I thought she'd be a good fit for Aelinor!

If anyone is curious about my fancasts (i know how hard it is to find period resources for PoC!!) it's-

Viserys II - Linus Roache

Aegon IV - Alfred Molina

Daeron II - Marc Warren

Aerys I - Sami Zayn. The only not really accurate casting here, because I struggled on finding a North African or Palestinian fancast that has a facial heir, looks white, isn't egregiously old, and I hadn't already used for the Martells lmao, so I went with my man Sami Zayn (real name Rami Sebei), who is Syrian (so still West Asian like Palestinians) (and also a cool dude and great wrestler).

Daenaera Velaryon - Jodie Turner

Aegon III - Jamie Campbell Bower

Elaena - Kylie Bunbury (not a lot of people know this but her mom is white! she's my go to "mixed people should not be barred from playing monoracial characters because a lot of mixed people do not actually get clocked as being mixed" right next to bianca lawson as "plenty of light skinned people are in fact monoracial too").

Ronnet Penrose - Max Irons

Alyn Velaryon - gonna be real honest I just grabbed a model off pinterest because the Alyn casting hadn't been released yet when I made this lmao

Rhaena Specific Fancasts

Alyssa Hightower - Ruby Barker

Aelinor Penrose - Samantha Barks

Laena Penrose - Antonia Thomas

Robin Penrose - Regé-Jean Page

Ronnel Penrose - Willy Cartier (his mom is senegalese and vietnamese and he's talked a lot about how her identity has affected his own mixed identity which was why he came to mind)

Baela Specific Fancasts

Laena II Velaryon - Crystal Clarke

Ronnel Penrose - Howard Charles

Laena Penrose - Denée Benton

Robin Penrose - Adetomiwa Edun

Jon Waters - Adrian Lester

Jeyne Waters - Karidja Touré (she's in that amazing movie Girlhood but this picture is from a short film she was in called The Adventures of Selika)

Aelinor Penrose - India Amarteifio

Also here are some cute pics of the actors and their fams-
