RIVERS OF LONDON SERIES by Ben Aaronovitch

~~ FANCAST ~~

Mama Thames | Genius Loci / Goddess of The River Thames

"

Mama Thames aka Mother Thames is the Goddess of the River Thames. Unlike Father Thames, her power comes from the seas and ports. She holds court East of the Tower of London in a converted warehouse, just short of the Shadwell Basin, in the Wapping area of London.

"

Her appearance is that of a middle-aged, Nigerian woman, impeccably dressed in Austrian lace. She is described as having a generous figure, perfect skin, full, dark lips and cat-shaped eyes. Her hair is braided and she was wearing a head-dress of Portugese beads when Peter Grant first meets her. During the Spring Court she had her hair woven into an elaborate gold birdcage. She has an almost irresistible, arousing supernatural glamour. To Peter Grant it evoked the smell of salt water and coffee, diesel and bananas, chocolate and fish guts. She was originally a Nigerian woman who immigrated to the United Kingdom in 1957 to study nursing. Some time between 1957 and 1966, after being dumped by her fiancé and failing her nursing exams, she decided to commit suicide by jumping into the Thames. While contemplating her suicide on London Bridge the River Thames called to her to exchange her life to become a genius loci. Mama Thames claims to have forgotten her original human name.

SUGGESTED CASTING:

NIKKI AMUKA-BIRD ( 47 years old ) SOPHIE OKONEDO ( 54 years old ) RAKIE AYOLA ( 55 years old ) RITA DOMINIC ( 48 years old ) WUNMI MOSAKU ( 37 years old ) NSE IKPE-ETIM ( 48 years old )

**All actresses cast are nigerian, or of british-nigerian descent.

Another Pattern: She's a Saboteur

I can't stay here, it's off brand-London

I can't stay here, fire hazard-South Africa

I can't stay here, security threat-Nigeria

Conclusion

When she's pre-booked for "complimentary" hotel accommodations that are beneath her standards, MEgain (Queen Jezebel 2.0) pretends to go along with "their plan," but all the while she's taking deliberate steps to undermine the reservation.

Palace aides observed a similar pattern during her 72 days of "work" in the BRF---she set-up the "role" to fail from the very beginning. #conartist

I hope Wtfock takes a page from Druck and delves deeper into Anais ethnicity and family background

Typical Hollywood, typecasting the British fella a villain.

From what I remember casting voice actors to match their character's ethnicity wasn't a big thing in the 90's. However, a higher up, former Dreamworks animator (who says PoE remains his most important project) says it's very intentional popular Hollywood actors are brought in to do the voices (as opposed to specifically trained voice actors), because their name brings in extra ticket sales.

*pretends to be shocked*

cause ultimately what's frying me about this is the fact that all these actors and actresses up there and the author and director are the types to talk about how much representation matters and how important casting is for a group of people. Until it comes to Africans I guess.

Everyone's got the concept but not the key words. This is racism and afrophobia. It's very VERY much colorism with That actress there, but getting non-africans to cosplay Nigerians and non-nigerians to do the same? Racism and Afrophobia. There's a certain way that all of Hollywood devalues and ignores African/Nigerian talent and genuinely believes that our actors and performances and CULTURES are interchangeable. You can see it with the accents, too -- which are about to be atrocious, by the way. And part of the reason why they'll be bad is because they don't value Nigerian voices. And they think of the entire continent of Africa as some monoculture where you don't have to differentiate or respect the people within because ultimately it's all kinda the same, isn't it? You can blend Nigerian with southern African and even eastern African accents because there's not reaaaalllly a big difference, is there? It's alllll kinda the same, isn't it?

Afrophobia and racism (and colorism). Afrophobia, racism, colorism.

Heyy so Starting by being straight up and admitting that envy is an ugly habit I have. I see people who grew up with money living their best life and I get hurt and mad because I'm working my ass off just trying to get by, or I see an attractive woman and feel like crap. Its something I'm recognizing as a problem and I want to stop. I saw a post where you said something about being inspired and motivated by women who are better off/more successful/prettier/etc instead of comparing and getting jealous. How do you actually put that into practice and acheive that mindset?

totally, so basically I would just look at it as inspiration and proof of an outcome. a lot of our desires can be based on theory. the possibility of having this or going there or excelling in this way. but we don’t technically know if we could pull it off or if it’s ever been done before with a specific set of conditions, so our goals and desires are just a theory. for example, maybe you desire to be a mom-model-actress-ceo under 25 and you see a woman literally become just that. I wouldn’t be like “grrrr how dare she have what I want” I would be happy that I now have proof that what I want is in the realm of possibility and there is a path that has been laid out should I choose to use hers as a blueprint. people will likely be more accepting of me doing the same thing since there’s already been someone who has come before me and been successful. plus, now you could have a potential peer who becomes a potential friend when you are in the same circle. when it comes to beauty, there’s so many girls out there being unapologetically into beauty care so now people won’t be weirded out when I start showing up with nails and hair and cute clothes because they have helped break down the taboo. so it’s more of an appreciation for them trailblazing a path or showing time and time again that something is possible and here’s what it looks like for a 35 year old and a 60 year old and a 19 year old and a white American and a black American and a Nigerian Brit and so on and so forth. it’s inspirational data.

it’s like, I now know I’m not crazy and my aspirations are attainable at least to a degree (factoring in variables like where you’re born and parents you’re born to, etc) so all I have to do is stay on track and I’ll be there too some day. when I’m studying over and over and wondering if this is even real and then I see a classmate got an A, I feel better knowing that I’m not screaming into the void and that the outcome I seek is actually a reality. I no longer feel like I’m rowing in open water of uncharted territory. this land has been conquered before and that’s great! so maybe I won’t get skin exactly like hers but I’ll get close. maybe I won’t get her salary at the same age she did but even if I have to work an extra 5 years I’ll be glad I was inspired by her to keep going. maybe you didn’t consider the possibility of having certain things until you saw that woman with it and now your mindset has been expanded to have more out of life.

I feel like when you’re envious, there’s a part of you deep down that will secretly wish for someone’s downfall, even if you’re friends with them because it’s a “me vs you and there can only be one” mentality. which means you’ll be likely to think everyone else is secretly out to get you too or the world is conspiring against you when it’s nothing of the sort. but when you have an “I’m happy for you and patiently waiting my turn” mentality, you’re more likely to see the blessings happening to you in action, you’re more likely to be a positive person around such women and they’d more likely want to be around you and help you come up with them rather than feeling some sort of repressed hater energy.

I always just remember that none of us are on the same timeline and not everyone peaks at the same age. some are late bloomers, some have more barriers in the way, but that just means you will end up being someone else’s inspiration one day when they find interest in your variables and outcome. let your journey be what it will be and keep your mind open to the wisdom you’re collecting along the way. if it took you 3 years to clear your skin up, you’ll have waaaay more insight on the topic than someone who’s only ever experienced the occasional breakout and let’s say you wanted to turn that into a skincare YouTube channel or something, you’d have more success than someone with nothing to say. what I mean by that is, sometimes the ones with the long journeys that feel unfavorable in the moment end up blooming into an unforeseen opportunity in the future.

envy is never worth it. it just makes the journey more miserable than it needs to be and pushes people away.
