#red white and royal blue audiobook

[smol-warrior-1258]

So I'm listening to the Red, White, and Royal Blue audiobook again (highly recommend if you've not listened to it) and I am struck by how there's not even a mention of Halloween. Like obviously there's a lot going on but I somehow feel robbed of White House Halloween content in this timeline.

Just imagine it.

(It's also how I reply to people telling me I've watched RWRB too many times)

I want to draw your attention to the difference between the boys reading the book

You have Nick who's narrating the book softly like telling you a bed time story

Then there's Taylor who's full on acting the books out with all his eccentricities

And this is how you know you got your casting right

I love both them ❣️

[rwrbmovie]

That was an excerpt from 'Red, White & Royal Blue'

[leclercari]

"I can’t think of a single other way to start this email except to say, and I do hope you will forgive both my language and my utter lack of restraint: You are so fucking beautiful. I’ve been useless for a week, driven around for appearances and meetings, lucky if I’ve made a single meaningful contribution to any of them. How is a man to get anything done knowing Alex Claremont-Diaz is out there on the loose? I am driven to distraction." — Red, White & Royal Blue, Chapter Eight

[daphnefangirling]

Love 'our' little pink book published 5 years ago today on May 14, 2019. Thank you Casey for the queer joy you bring to the world (who desperately needs it).

On my knees begging for the audiobook read by TZP & Nick Galitzine 🙏

This is my little collection of Red, White & Royal Blue books. I am looking to add more to it in the near future (maybe i’ll post again when we celebrate one year of our little movie on Aug. 11)! ❤️🤍💙

Also, tropical flavoured Skittles, IYKYK.

[arse-crack-thistle]

love the rwrb audiobook or hate it, i think we can all agree a tzp re-recording would be amazing and incredible and I NEED IT NOW!!!!

(this tiktok inspired this post. just listening to him talk about alex makes me weak.)

[brownbitchshit]

Petition for Nicholas Galitzine to record a new audiobook for RWRB! I reject the previous one. Let my boy record it again.

[qualityavenuejellyfish]

What I’m listening to…

Red, White & Royal Blue

A Novel by Casey McQuiston

Audiobook read by Ramón de Ocampo

Great book and film.

[biscuitscheesebiscuits]

Ah, yes, time for the annual reread of Red, White, & Royal Blue

[sugarspicedragons]

Current audiobook listen. A favorite read, but first time listening. Ramon de Ocampo does a really wonderful job as narrator, but I can't forgive him for his mispronunciation of (David) Bowie. Other than that... It's a great listen, and a great addition to my audiobook library!

I do hate how Amazon/Audible changed the cover to match the movie. As much as I enjoyed the Amazon movie adaptation, it's not the same. The original book cover is wonderful, and I want it back.

[rockingtheorange]

Recreating the book version of Alex and Henry

(With the help of Nicholas reading it for us)

In the book, Henry arrives riding a horse right after playing polo. I thought it would make someone happy seeing this version of their encounter.

(I had to arrange it with the little scenes we have, sorry if something is a little off)

[iammissdistress]

i miss the time when i watched red, white and royal blue every day for a week just to feel something

[meraki-yao]

RWRB Full-Cast Audiobook Imaginations

So with the sequel on the horizon, we’re not that far from a full-cast re-recording of the audiobook, right?

I listen to the audiobook more than I read the book, mostly because I can listen to it while doing other stuff, and no offence to the original narrator, but while it’s good, it’s not the best. I kind of cringe at his British accent for Henry.

So I have a lot of thoughts.

The thing is with an audiobook, we can get both the wonderful vocal performance of the movie cast, and the iconic book lines, the ones that didn’t, and frankly, could never have made it into the movie due to format restrictions:

Sexy explicit sex scenes

Sexy explicit sex lines “For fuck’s sake, man, you just had my dick in your mouth, you can kiss me good-night”, “I want you to fuck me”, “I’ve been thinking about your mouth on me all well”

Emails in their entirety

Email openings and endings “Huge Raging Heache Prince Henry of Who Cares”, “First Son of Shirking Responsibilities”, “Horrible Revolting Heir”, “First Son of Founding Father Sacrilege”, “Haplessly Romantic Heretic Prince Henry the Utterly Daft”

Email historical quotes “The whole is a mass of fools and knaves; I could almost except you”, “I meet you in every dream”

Swearing and explicit language “fucking shit” “I fucking love you, okay?”

Internal Struggle

Iconic lines that didn’t make it into the movie for adaptation and story purposes “I’m never gonna love anybody in the world like I love you” “I love him on purpose”, “America, he is my choice”

Like, imagine hearing all of this in Taylor, in Nick, in Sarah and Uma and Ellie and Rachel and Thomas and Aneesh and Cfiton etc etc 's voice. Just imagine it!!!

Another thing to add is that to put it in simple terms, the current version of the audiobook does the dialogue lines closer to theatre acting: more enunciated, more inflection, and slower. Which is fine in its own right (I’m a theatre kid). But with the cast audiobook, hopefully, we can get them to do something closer to film acting, i.e. closer to reality, reading the lines as they would if they were to shoot those scenes.

Which is gonna make big moments like sexy times and confrontations a lot of fun :D

And something really entertaining to think about is now that we also know the cast and their dynamic is thinking about how much fun they would have while recording the book, especially when they have scenes together. And it’s not necessarily just Taynick, it’s group scenes with the whole Super Six, like the karaoke scene in chapter seven, or the Texas Holiday Scenes with Firstprince and Junora.

Like, Imagine it, the actors in the same recording studio, maybe even on the same couch:

Taylor and Nick laughing while reading off the insults from the earlier frienemies days of their relationship

Taylor and Nick squirming and playfully hitting each other when recording lines for sexy scenes like the first night, or the tack room, or Wimbledon

The cast shouting and booing (playfully) whenever someone messes up a line in their group scenes

The chaotic fun that is the LA karaoke scene, everybody’s laughing, Ellie gets to be the singular sober person while everyone else acts drunk, Nick singing Don’t Stop Me Now shittier (Nick has the voice of an angel but book Henry can’t sing for shit),

Taylor and Nick giving each other hugs after screaming at each other for the Kensington confrontation

Nick grinning smugly at every book height difference mention (:<

More of Taylor speaking Spanish!!!

Thomas gets to be a proper asshole villain who later turns into awkward older brother who's trying

Ellie gets to do the pie metaphor grief monologue  

Taylor gets to do another speech (he’s really good at delivering speeches)

 I want to quickly reiterate that I am in no way unhappy with what we got in the end for the movie; I love it to pieces. However, as Matthew and Casey said, there are two “canonical” versions of the story now, and since audiobooks are an option, it would be really nice to connect this aspect of the movie verse with the book verse in some sort of middle ground.

So yeah Audible? Amazon? Get on with it!!!

@almightaylor this was the long post I mentioned, I literally started this in July lol

[damnitiloveyou]

I have discovered that quite a few people hate the audiobook of Red White and Royal Blue. I love the audiobook and have listened to it quite a few times but I will agree that I would also love a new version with Taylor and Nick narrating.
