Long car ride to dr appt rn and I'm boooreedd uhh twst Grease au rambles ig. But it's me working thru who's who basically. (Also this is more based on the musical than the movie tbc)
So this all started as Savannaclaw = Pink Ladies because Leona Is Rizzo. I do not make the rules he just is argue with a wall. And also by Savannaclaw I mean Ruggie & Leona bcuz they are The Mean Girls of NRC (again I will die on that hill). And this is the only time dorms will be relevant.
Now, who's our stand-out, the one who's kinda one of them but isn't *really*- who's our goody two shoes, the new girl, who is our Sandy?
Anyways of course Deuce is Danny, I mean... look at them. And, of course: Jackdeuce agenda ♡
Now originally the rest of the T-birds I was gonna cast as like.. Deuce's old delinquent friends bcuz in this au we're using Deuce's delinquent era.
Except there's like all these pairings between the T-Birds & Pink Ladies and even if Cappies called the T-birds ensemble they are NOT ensemble. So we'll be figuring that out later.
Kalim is Frenchy. I was initially between Frenchy and Marty for him (diamond falling in the macaroni, Freddy my love) but I think I'm sticking with Frenchy. Yknow why?
Because Jamil is the PERFECT teen angel for him. And I might double cast him to actually pair off with Kalim but iirc Frenchy gets paired with Doody and I'm not sure if Jamil is a Doody sorta type yknow?
Also it took me WAY too long to assign Marty but .. Cater. Cater.
And for now ruggie is Jan. For now.. maybe. We'll get there.
Because you see I think he might also fit Kenickie. I can see it. But then who's Jan? Hard to say.
Anywyas the only person i could think of for Rodger is Floyd. Which.. ruggie as jan.. ykbow Floyd x ruggie is interesting but. Hrm. But if not ruggie then WHOS JAN do u understand how hard it is to pair Floyd off for me?? Like if ur not that into Florid ur kinda screwed. Anyways. Idk who else can be rodger.
Now, Ace has the loser fumbler energy of Sonny. But I think Sonny is kinda paired w/ Marty in the end and.. hrm. No.
Doody.. we mentioned Jamil earlier for jamikali purposes but Doody has this kinda.. nervous around Frenchy in a way Jamil isnt w/ Kalim but yknow what. We can work with it.
Part of me rlly wants Jamil as Pink Lady because Scarabia Savannaclaw friendship real but.. alas. I dont believe he be a Jan.
I do have the ability to retcon & screw around, ofc. Ive been avoiding it cuz I wanna minimize doing that cuz Id have to think abt how it affects plot & stuff and Id have to look thru the script yadda yadda & I dont feel like doing that rn. But we do have this power and it will ultimately be very important.
Such as if Rook ends up as Patty. Our other option there is Sebek. Leaning towards Rook.
Anyways, some quick shots; Fellow/Ernesto as Vince Fontaine (maybe), Trein as Ms Lynch (ofc) and, oh my favorite:
Neige Leblanche as Cha-Cha Digregario.
"But they have such opposing personalities-" thats the FUNNY part and why I chose it. Also smtjng smthng VDC rival-ish school winning etc. Etc.
Anyways thats my mess of thoughts rn.
I feel like this would be better with visuals but. Alas. Not today.
