I love Danielle Gilligan as much as the next person, but after reading that article you linked I’m once again pretty pissed off they didn’t hire a plus sized actress for the role. I was pissed when the casting was announced but I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. But after everything is laid out on the table, with Jesper being given lighter skin as well as his portrayal as a bisexual man, and Kaz not being played by an disabled actor, and the erasure of Inej’s trauma it really shows they don’t actually give a shit about representing the canon characters. Everything that article points out really hits home and like the cast seems so cool and nice but there’s so many things fundamentally wrong with the adaptation that it’s really not enough anymore. The show needs the “out of character tag” because Jesus Christ they’re such watered down versions of the book it’s pretty insulting as a reader. Anyways thank you for answering asks about this stuff because it’s nice to see people looking at it with a critical eye instead of “Freddy Carter hot”

Okay a disclaimer: I think the article is wrong on quite a few accounts, and casting Danielle is one of them. Leigh Bardugo said she never specified Nina's size beyond "fat" because she wanted all large girls to relate to her, which means saying "Nina is canonically stated as plus-sized and can only be played by a plus-sized actress" is wrong. Also, calling s1 Danielle "skinny" simply because she isn't plus-sized is shitty and reductive of body diversity. At the moment of her casting, Danielle WAS accurate for Nina, because she was fat (on the smaller end of fat, but absolutely NOT skinny or medium). Danielle has gone on record to explain how badly it hurt to be rejected for her size in the industry, and then finally land a role only to have fans claim her body is wrong once again, and I am totally convinced that's a part of why she lost so much weight in the past 3 years. Kaz' casting is the same: Kaz gets up to so much inappropriate things that he says his disability got way worse after the events of the books, and putting a disabled actor through long filming days of an action show just doesn't sound viable to me. CGI and body doubles for every other scene aren't cheap, and also mean the character will NOT be played by the disabled actor most of the time, so we're back to square 1. Yes, disabled characters can be played by disabled actors, but maybe Kaz Brekker is not the best example of that. Jesper's casting, however, is absolutely unacceptable (especially when you take into account that Netflix does this all the time) and I still can't believe people just forgot about it. Same for Inej. I liked the paragraph in the article that pointed out how the show is only interested in scoring as many diversity points as possible, as quickly as possible, without making sure their tokens are treated as well written characters. It explained so well why Wesper was written the way it was. Ugh. Tokenism.

And no problem ahah, I totally get that people need to vent and finding fellow SaB haters is difficult. Maybe my freedom of thought is caused by the fact that Freddy Carter isn't hot to me. Guess we'll never know

[esp/eng] Post de Nochebuena! Esta vez les traigo un pixel art de la aurora boreal 🌌🌲 Me relaja hacer arte en pequeño. Además creo que los píxeles son una buena forma de trabajar con paletas de color limitadas (lo cual estoy intentando practicar 😅). El tamaño original es de 50x50px, reminiscencia de mi época de deviantart 😂 Y comparto la paleta! ¡Felices fiestas a todos! 🎆🎉 . Christmas Eve post! This time I bring you a #pixelart northern lights! 🌌🌲 I find it relaxing to do tiny art. Besides, i think pixels are a good way to work with limited color palettes (which I am trying to practice 😅). Original canvas is 50x50px, a reminisce of my deviantart phase 😂 and I'm sharing the palette next slids! Happy Holidays y'all! 🎆🎉 . #pixel #pixelartist #northernlights #aurora #auroraboreal #auroraborealis #digitalart #digitalpixel #digital #reenvhai #forest #pixelforest #night #pixelnight #bosque #noche #pinos #pines #pallete #colors #colortheory #paleta https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ej9pbg8Tw/?igshid=17bdwur3woda1

I love the cast of shadow and bone sm and I do not want them to lose their jobs cause they’re amazing BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WRITERS ROOM??? My friend describes the show as “a weird fanfic of the books” and honestly that’s the most accurate description I can think of for it

The bad thing is, the writers also describe it as such. They confess to it. Leigh confesses to it. No one is interested in writing an adaptation they all wanna write a fanfic and it shows

[eerna]

I didn’t know that about Danielle’s experience with the show, thank you for touching on it. As a plus sized person myself it’s a touchy subject but you’re right no one should be hated on for being too big or too small and I’m sorry for coming off that way. I got a little heated after reading the article because the show was just so disappointing 😅 totally agree with what you said about Kaz too because when you put it that what it would be really fucked up to make someone with an actual disability be put through all that. I think the show was just so disappointing that it’s easy to nit pick every little thing cause you’re mad

Just wanted to send this ask cause I realize I came off as kind of an asshole in my last one, sorry bout that

Oh no problem! The article was deliberately ignoring that portion of the issue and I was absolutely only talking about it, not you, sorry that I wasn't more clear about that! :) I didn't think you're an asshole in the slightest. Besides, even if you were mean, when we see issues that are personal to us, of course we react more strongly, I could never blame anyone for that as long as it was within reason and not hurting others (except critics and journalists because it's their job to do research and try to see an issue from multiple POVs, but I digress)
