Oooh that house Stark gifset... Yesss!! Who are the fancasts? (And where are they from?)

Hi! I used footage mainly from the following shows:

- Sofiya/Софи́я (2016)

- The Terrible/Грозный (2020)

The fancasts I can't easily identify are Lyarra's (character briefly appeared in The Golden Horde/Золотая Орда 2018), Eddard's and Benjen's (both from The Terrible), but the rest are:

- Rickard*: Evgeniy Tsyganov (Sofiya)

- Brandon: Ilya Ilinykh (Sofiya)

- Lyanna: Milena Radulovic (The Terrible) - unfortunately much older than actual Lyanna, but I really liked her face + I think it matches with the general vibe Lyanna had

A woman's life is nine parts mess to one part magic, you'll learn that soon enough... and the parts that look like magic often turn out to be messiest of all.

Hello! What is the name of the TV series/movie (s) you have used in your ASOIAF edit from the 19th February 2022? I'm especially wonder about who you used for your Lyanna Stark face claim :)

Hi! They're mostly from Groznyj (2020) and Sofiya (2016? 17?). Lyanna's FC is Milena Radulović in Groznyj <:o)

what are your favorite fancast for the starklings? btw i love your edits!!

Thank you! I don't tend to have set in stone fancasts for the Starklings but some I have used in the past and I think hit the right vibe are:

Jon -> Kodi Smit McPhee (specifically in that movie where he's alone with a wolf)

Arya -> Josie O' Brien and Rebecca Emilie Sattrup (haven't used this one myself but I like it a lot)

Sansa -> Laoise Murray (I love this one a lot - I also think it portrays her so well during her time as a hostage in KL), Dakota Blue Richards (I'd use this one in younger footage)

Bran, Rickon, Robb -> ???? There's a lack of young gingers in period dramas. Tragic

I also have a desktop page in which I put all my fancasts! https://elaena.tumblr.com/fancast It needs a little updating but the code won't let me add anymore tabs ☹️

You might not remember, but I was wondering if you knew where that footage of young Elle Fanning is from? Because she looks a lot younger than she was in Maleficent (love that gifset so much!!! It's so good!)

"I know a little of this man, Sandor Clegane. He was Prince Joffrey's sworn shield for many a year, and even here we would hear tell of his deeds, both good and ill. If even half of what we heard was true, this was a bitter, tormented soul, a sinner who mocked both gods and men. He served, but found no pride in service. He fought, but took no joy in victory. He drank, to drown his pain in a sea of wine. He did not love, nor was he loved himself. It was hate that drove him. Though he committed many sins, he never sought forgiveness. Where other men dream of love, or wealth, or glory, this man Sandor Clegane dreamed of slaying his own brother, a sin so terrible it makes me shudder just to speak of it. Yet that was the bread that nourished him, the fuel that kept his fires burning. Ignoble as it was, the hope of seeing his brother's blood upon his blade was all this sad and angry creature lived for . . . and even that was taken from him, when Prince Oberyn of Dorne stabbed Ser Gregor with a poisoned spear."

"You sound as if you pity him," said Brienne.

“I did.” (Brienne VI, A Feast for Crows)

"Ah, Arya. You have a wildness in you, child. 'The wolf blood,' my father used to call it. Lyanna had a touch of it, and my brother Brandon more than a touch. It brought them both to an early grave." Arya heard sadness in his voice; he did not often speak of his father, or of the brother and sister who had died before she was born. "Lyanna might have carried a sword, if my lord father had allowed it. You remind me of her sometimes. You even look like her."

"Lyanna was beautiful," Arya said, startled. Everybody said so. It was not a thing that was ever said of Arya.

“She was," Eddard Stark agreed, "beautiful, and willful, and dead before her time." — A Game of Thrones, Arya II
