🎬 If a movie or show were based on your fic, which fic would you choose and who would you fancast?

@agnewbones ghoul this is my FAVORITE thing to do in the whole world thank you so much for asking i had The Most fun.

anywho come on y'all KNOW i have to do iwks. i'll hit you with major to minor characters (i cut myself off at a point i'll spare you the full cast nsklndksnlf) but i'll throw the top two up top and the rest beneath the cut in case you're curious !!

spencer: it is mind-boggling to choose someone who is not spencer agnew. everyone i really loved was too tall it was so tragic. anyway. i think im going with ethan cutkosky. he's a short king (5'5" is PERFECT thank god he exists) which is incredibly important and i think he can bring in that 'sad, self-conscious' vibe we so desperately need. also he needs a comeback after shameless.

tommy: okay so. this one was the toughest one fr. but im SO glad i kept looking/thinking bc i landed on dale whibley. LOOK at that smug bastard. he's tall, he's lanky, he looks smug as fuck, i've seen him in that one horror movie that objectively sucked but HE was incredible. lads we fucking did it that's tommy bowe.

send me some fic writer asks!!

shayne: i think i'm going with owen joyner. he's just shayne-shaped. golden retriever boy who seems like he should be the team captain? yeah. he's not a short king but i can look past that.

damien: i think leo howard has that damien look about him and could definitely be like the Nice Boy of the group. i also think it would be a little funny to have a former disney kid playing damien <3

alex: im not gonna lie. this one was tough. need someone fun and silly who's also got that androgyny swag... naleye junior dolmans is the closest i've got even though he's a little on the older side for this cast. he's also a model not an actor but i think we can get him there !!

keith: oh to capture such effortless swag but also be a little shit but also be like the second nicest person on the show. i think i've landed on aubrey joseph. he's just got a vibe i really enjoy. look at his smile come on now

chanse: am i choosing jay lycurgou because i love jay lycurgou or am i gifting chanse jay lycurgou because i love chanse. i think it's both. no but chanse is so bitey and mean in iwks and i think jay would eat that the fuck up

jeremy: i think lucas hedges can really give that unhinged, angry boy performance we all know, love, and want from our favorite background character, jeremy elder. he also has that gaunt, haunted stick figure look you really need to be jeremy.

patrick: im a huge horror movie fan so i can confidently say that owen teague is a great actor who Has the Range and i think he would see all of the jerpat and go "yeah. yeah i can work with this."

ify: can he act? god only knows. am i gonna let him try? abso-fucking-lutely. welcome to the cast, khalid. we'll use one of your songs in the show come on board !

brennan: i wanted someone who could give serious, quiet observer and so i'm going with ryan potter who i think can really deliver that!!

tim: he can have my second choice for spencer who was just Too tall to be spence but i still think is an icon - ty simpkins. he's not gonna say a god damn word but he will do it all with his face and he WILL eat cold pizza. i think he can pull it off.

⚓ Captain Gian Harlowe & Rosarian IV, The Merrow Queen, Thirty-Fifth Queen of Inys

‘Captain,’ Ead said, and Harlowe grunted, ‘at the Inysh court, there are rumours about you, spoken deep in the shadows. Rumours that you courted Queen Rosarian.’ She watched his brow darken. ‘They say you meant to take her to the Milk Lagoon.’

‘The Milk Lagoon is a fable,’ he said curtly. ‘A tale whispered to children and lovers without hope.’

‘A wise young woman told me once that all legends grow from a seed of truth.’‘Is it you or the Queen of Inys who desires the truth?’

Ead waited, watching his face. Those eyes were in a distant past.

‘She was never much like Rose.’ His voice softened. ‘She was night-born, you know. They say that makes a child grave . . . but Rose came into the world at the lark’s calling.’
