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

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*
#There's always the exceptions#Elisa Maza development was made into Hopi/Nigerian to fit her voice actress' background#made it an easy reason to throw in fantastic old American and African stories into the mix

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.

I would not call the Nigerian vacation any type of success. Harry got to inspect the troops? No, he wore his good suit and his Target Medals and walked up 2 steps and saluted 8 soldiers who were dressed in navy blue. They were invited, probably after asking if they could come, by the Minister of Defense, not the heirarchy, like the President. It was the President’s wife who derided their visit, made fun of Olive Oyl and “why did she come here” ( to march around basically in a dress made of skin)? Their visit on their vacation to Nigeria showed them playing at “marching” thru groups of kids in schoolyards. Kids who clearly did not know them, nor did anyone else. H played basketball, she and he got some beads, they rode in a plane owned by a known murderer and fraud, they got some material to make clothes and she went to a leadership luncheon with a guy standing behind her in a roomful of heavily dressed women and she wore a flamenco dress…and proceeded to talk about how they were viewed and she thanked them for making her into that same women, brave, fierce, and focused…so humble. As she now proclaims they are going on this tour as representatives of Nigerian Royalty as she is now a Nigerian Princess. ..Now at least we will have a country to blame for not securing or protecting her enough if she gets shot, it will be their fault. So see ya, Sayonara and good riddance to the two of them. They are like Laurel and Hardy these two, just jaunting off into the sunset to so some more marching and to get away from their kids they are so bored and boring. I am wondering if the next trip is to North Korea.

LMAO even Nigerian royalty does not have the authority to represent Nigeria. So a washed up American D list actress sure as hell doesn’t.

I’m Brazilian, I’m sending this question to all the blogs I admire and follow. I would like you and your followers, especially Americans, to respond, please. Do you think Hollywood will consent to this “Nigerian Princess” project? Will Viola Davis, Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Lupita Nyong'o, A-list actors and actresses, allow this belated racial appropriation? There is a new generation of black artists, in the dramatic arts and music, who have achieved prestige through their talent and work. Will these people tolerate what she is doing? Don’t you think she crossed a line?? Personally, I think so! And I hope she is devoured by them and thrown back into the gutter from which she came. This lady deserves ostracism!! Thanks for listening!
Hi Filhadaanacarolina,
Thank you for letting me know that you have sent this ask to other blogs. I appreciate the courtesy.
I think that Meghan has crossed many lines with her behaviour, both past and present. Some people have sense and ignore her, but as long as others keep giving her attention/trips/shows etc this farce will continue.
I am not American so I can’t speak for Hollywood. I know nothing about how they work and I do not follow celebrities at all. The royals take up all my free time. :)
