BURNING HEART - SVRCINA

Mistresses of Aegon IV Targaryen [7/9]

[nobodysuspectsthebutterfly]

Is there a comprehensive list of actors GRRM cites as faceclaims or is it all in disparate blog posts?

Most of it isn't in blog posts at all, it's things GRRM's said at conventions or interviews. (Note for anyone going "Them, really?", check the dates and what the actor looked like at the time.)

So, a quick list:

Sandor Clegane: Ron Perlman

Cersei Lannister: Nicole Kidman

Jaime Lannister: Cary Elwes

Tyrion Lannister: Peter Dinklage

Tywin Lannister: Kurtwood Smith or Robert Duvall

Renly Baratheon: Adrian Paul (also for young Robert)

Arianne Martell: Apollonia Kotero

Nymeria Sand: Janina Gavankar

Daenerys Targaryen: Tamzin Merchant

And sources:

November 2000, fan con report: "Pearlman, from BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, would be great for Sandor. Best guy for Tywin: the father on THAT 70s SHOW and who was the father of the kid, who shot himself, in THE DEAD POETS SOCIETY (I think I spelled it all right)."

December 2003: "...I have a few people in mind. I think Nicole Kidman would be good as Cersei. I always liked Ron Perlman, the actor I worked with on 'The Beauty and the Beast’. He would be great as Sandor Clegane. Ron is very good in heavy make-up and he’s also a big, strong kind of guy. He has a great voice that he can do all sorts of wonderful things with. I think he would be terrific as the Hound. For Jamie Lannister, a couple of years ago I would have said Cary Elwes but he might be too old now. I don’t know…"

c. 2006: "Myself, I'd love to see Tywin played by Kurtwood Smith (as in DEAD POET'S SOCIETY) or Robert Duvall (THE GREAT SANTINI)."

July 2006, fan con report: "On being asked about "the casting game" (picking actors to play the characters), he said the only one who he would definitely choose was Ron Perlman to play Sandor "The Hound" Clegane because of Perlman's aptitude for acting through prosthetics."

February 2007, fan con report: "When asked about ideal casting choices, he formally endorsed the idea of Nicole Kidman playing Cersei. He says she has the perfect look for her. But it would never work, because where are you going to find a guy that looks like her to play Jaime? I really got a kick out of that. He also said Ron Perelman would be perfect as the Hound -- but I am pretty sure I had hears or read that somewhere before."

date/source uncertain, but c. 2007: "Adrian Paul and I actually worked together once, long before the Dreamsongs audiobook. Wonder if he remembers. Back then he had a great look for Renly…but of course, that was twenty years ago."

February 2008: "Much as I *cough* admire Salma Hayek, I picture Arianne as looking more like Appollonia Kotero, as she was around the time of PURPLE RAIN."

November 2008, Elio Garcia: "George has said in the past that Adrian Paul is Baratheonish in looks (years ago he said he could see him for a young Robert or Renly)"

May 2009: "Playing Tyrion Lannister will be Peter Dinklage, who was almost everyone's "dream casting" for the role (he certainly was mine)."

August 2009: "I know my readers play the casting game. Well, confession time, so do I. Ever since I began A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE (way back in 1991, thought it wasn't until 1994 that I got writing in earnest), there was always a little part of me that would watch every television show and movie with one eye looking for actors and actresses who might work as my characters.

And so there I was, watching THE TUDORS (which I have VERY mixed feelings about, I confess), when Tamzin Merchant came on screen as the fifteen year old Katherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife. I sat up at once, thinking, "Hmmm, she could be a good candidate for Dany.""

July 2011, Janina Gavankar: "George just told me I look like Lady Nymeria." (additional link 1) (link 2)

The Golden Hall Gallery

This doesn't always happen, but with The Golden Hall, I seem to have picked a real-life faceclaim (or fancast) for almost every character. In case anyone's curious, here they are! (I feel like I'm casting a movie here...)

Clockwise from top left:

Éomer: Karl Urban (obvi) Lothíriel: Sarah Bolger Hafrith, head lady in waiting at Meduseld: Holliday Grainger (her role in Merlin has nice Rohanese vibes, actually) Hafbrand, Hafrith's brother: Toby Regbo (he has not appeared yet, but he will have at least one pivotal scene) Elfhild, Elfhelm's daughter: Hannah Dodd Ainslie, Éomer's ward: Tamzin Merchant Amrothos: Elijah Wood (Frodo doesn't appear in this fic, so I saw fit to reuse him!)

Others, including Éothain the secretary/former Rider, Walda the head healer, Godswith the mistress of the robes, and Baldric the stable master do not yet have official faceclaims, but they might be found as time goes on.

Finally, I have a question. Do you think it would be reasonable or cringey to have a list of hypothetical face claims for the characters at the beginning of the story in AO3? Of course, I'll make it clear that since the characters are described in the text, some extensively, these are merely suggestions, and readers are free to imagine the characters however they want. Because, heavens knows, some people don't even imagine Frodo as Elijah Wood, and I personally like to imagine Éowyn and Faramir differently than how they are portrayed in the movies.

So I mentioned last night some of the muses I've been considering adding, but now here are some faceclaims I've been wanting to use, not necessarily for those muses, though some are. Basically, if there's a muse you've been wanting to write with or if you want to do affiliated ocs and any of these fcs fit, hit me up lol

But also here are some faceclaims that I would love to use - not necessarily for the muses mentioned above. But if anyone has a muse they've been wanting to write with or to do affiliated ocs maybe these fcs could work: Holliday Grainger (could be a Targaryen or a Lannister), Tamzin Merchant (could be Saera or Viserra or Lynesse Hightower (jorahs wife)), Natalie Dormer specifically in the tudors (could be Alys Harroway or someone else), Sarah Bolger (idk who I just love her so much), Connie Nielsen specifically in gladiator, maybe even Joaquin in gladiator, Hayden Christensen (could be a Targaryen or a dragonseed......or I could just write asoiaf version of a.nakin...), Rebecca Ferguson (could be a Targ), Jodie Comer (could be a Targ), Simone Ashley, Charithra Chandran (both from bridgerton, I don't know who they could be but they're both so pretty I love them)

[green-aeggs-and-spam]

i was rereading AaS and was wondering - do you have a faceclaim for Rhaelle?

Hi! I kinda struggle with faces so I'm not confident enough to call it an "official" faceclaim, but I did consider Tamzin Merchant as Rhaelle. Not the pics and gifs of Tamzin Merchant as Catherine Howard, though, because her look and demeanor in The Tudors don't really match my mental image of Rhaelle. Here's an IMDB pic that's closer to what I had in mind:

But again I'm not 100% certain on her so feel free to take it or leave it depending on your personal preference!

[crownsfm]

Ygritte and Val are two ASOIAF women who 1) I don't see fancasted often, and 2) seem particularly difficult to fancast. I was curious to see if I could find any actresses that suited them. so, after searching for a while, I've finally found two actresses that I think work!

Ygritte: Tamzin Merchant as Rhonu in Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse (yeah, I'm aware that her sleeveless arms may not exactly read as wildling-north-of-the-wall, but hey, she's a cute & fierce redhead who wields a bow & arrow 🤷🏾‍♀️. redheads are just difficult as hell to fancast, man)

Val: Kristanna Loken as Brunhild in Ring of The Nibelungs / Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King / Die Nibelungen (2004)

(I'm pretty sure Alyssa Sutherland as Aslaug in Vikings is the most popular Val fancast, but honestly she's always read a bit older than I think Val is supposed to be. also, I actually prefer her as Cersei)

Do the ROs have faceclaims?

I haven't put them in the bios yet, but yes they do. A few are subject to change but when I picture the characters in my head, they look like the following:

Michael - Neels Visser

Asha - Kiersey Clemons

Lucia - Tamzin Merchant

Daedalion - Marlon Teixeira

Ceyx - Jacob Elordi

Welcome to NEVER RPG! Please send in your url within 48 hours. Be sure to look over our checklist. We hope you enjoy, or at least survive, your time on the island!

Since this is our first wave of acceptance and we are not officially open for roleplaying yet, just a few reminders before we get to the acceptances. Our discord server won’t be sent out until a little closer to our second wave of acceptances. Once you’ve sent in your blog and we’ve posted here on main, you are good to start doing anything your heart desires on your character’s blog except for actual roleplay threads. Plot it up, share character development memes, post your edits and headcanons! Go wild and have fun! :D

Welcome to the island, CHARLOTTE! You been accepted as TINKER BELL with the faceclaim of Tamzin Merchant.

Tinker Bell is one of those characters who can so easily be portrayed as a caricature, but you have given her such dimension and depth! ‘- but as misfortune loves orphans and fire loves innocence, Tinker Bell loves Peter - and it was her that he needed to pull him out of the depths of his mind and bring the island out of its eternal winter. She is the ocean and he is the sand. She loves him continuously but with increasing apprehension and decreasing hope.’ Tragic and lovely, I can’t wait to see more! And have I listened to Tink’s playlist an unhealthy number of times? Yes, yes I have. No regrets!

Welcome to the island, DRYNNE! You been accepted as ISADORA BOOTH with the faceclaim of Ruby Cruz.

My heart aches for Isadora and all that she’s been through but also, damn, what a badass! As soon as I started reading your app, I knew we’d found our Isadora. ‘Fighting was far easier than being inside a cage of meekness’ that really is her in a nutshell and I’m so here for it! While Isadora’s violence is blunt and brutal, your writing painted her in intricate lines that interlaced with one another to create a full and dynamic character who I can’t wait to stalk the threads of on the dash!

Welcome to the island, ELLE! You been accepted as IANTHE with the faceclaim of Ayça Ayşin Turan.

First of all, your writing style is hauntingly beautiful! I might have audibly squealed in delight when reading about Ianthe’s tail because it’s just so good and suits her so well! You have spun such an intimidating and compelling character. I mean, ‘We all know intrinsically that the terrible and the terrific bleed into each other, that all life’s greatest pleasures lie on the other side of pain, that paltry is the passion that never makes us shudder. Ianthe is this thesis made flesh: Bone-chillingly horrifying and all the lovelier for it’. I’m equal parts enchanted and terrified and I absolutely love it!

Welcome to the island, LIOT! You been accepted as HOLLY with the faceclaim of Amandla Stenberg.

I am so invested in this puppeteering Small Folk already! There’s just something so wonderfully horrifying about the idea of Holly setting traps for unsuspecting Lost Boys so she can crawl into their minds. Should this line, ‘Holly had chomped at the bit to see Peter toss Charlie to the Many-Eyed, ghastly beasts that Holly had called their friends’, have made me go ‘aww!’ because I love seeing these exterminated beasties be appreciated? Probably not, but here we are. You’ve created an OC who feels like they were always meant to be a part of the group. We needed Holly and I cannot wait to see what antics they get it up to!

Welcome to the island, MADS! You been accepted as WENDY DARLING with the faceclaim of Kristine Froseth.

Gothic romance is my catnip and you gave it to me in spades with your application! As soon as I read ‘Peter would never give Wendy what she craved. She was so lovingly devoted to him, but he couldn’t love her back when he was too busy loving how she made him feel: adored, righteous, powerful.’ I got so excited to read more. And the more I read, more and more your depiction of Wendy just right clicked into place with every aspect of this roleplay! Wendy makes for such a lovely gothic heroine. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for her!

Welcome to the island, MAREK! You been accepted as NOD with the faceclaim of Leo Suter.

I loved that throughout your app, I could clearly see the rambunctious Lost Boy underneath and how the tragedies Nod underwent shaped him into the man he is now. ‘Nod never imagined a possibility of losing his brother, his twin, his other half - he swears to this day that when the shot tore through his brother’s body he felt it too’. This is truly gothic horror gold and I felt it in my soul! 

Welcome to the island, NYX! You been accepted as CECCO with the faceclaim of Aidan Turner.

My heartstrings feel abused after reading your app and I am not at all mad about it. There’s so much pirate romanticism here to revel in! For example: ‘Whenever a new ship finds its way to the shores and raise their white flag, they will ask for them to take their letters, tossing them into the sea as they sail away from the isle’. And I don’t want to spoil all of your headcanons, but I really hope the sketch they keep in the sheath of their sword finds its way into our discord server someday...Just sayin’.

Welcome to the island, SID! You been accepted as SAWYER with the faceclaim of Omar Rudberg.

You nailed every aspect of Sawyer’s skeleton bio and fleshed them out with such intention! I can’t imagine any other take on Sawyer because yours is so well-crafted. There are so many lines from your app I could have chosen to highlight but, 'So you run and scream and fight and play, all the while plastering a smile to your face and trying to lose yourself to the wildness that thrums through Neverland like a second heartbeat, that you want so desperately to course through you too’, feels like the perfect summarization of this Lost Boy!

Many people applied for Pan’s wanted connection concerning the ‘kiss’, it was a difficult choice, but we’ve decided to give this connection to Ianthe. Also, as a side note since a couple of apps referenced it, while J.M. Barrie could exist in our rpg’s universe, the plays and stories he wrote about Neverland and Peter Pan do not. 

All important pages on the main will be updated in the next several minutes to reflect these acceptances. Thank you so much to everyone who applied!! Our second wave of acceptances will be held on December 31st. Opening day, January 1st, can’t come soon enough! I can’t wait to write with every one of you!

[valiantwerewolfluminary]

Oops! I’m so sorry I wasn’t clear the first time 😢 Can I please request some female faceclaims between 20-35 who can play the daughter of Matt Smith (as the 11th Doctor) & Alex Kingston (as River Song) please? Thank you so much!! 💙

Hello and no problem. I chose them based on their aura. I don't know if it will help you, but I apologize if it's not appropriate.
