Schaffa broken earth. To me

Took a nap and dreamt up fancasting for a show based on The Broken Earth triology by N.K. Jemisin and here's what I came up with

Khleo Thomas as Hoa

Queen Latifah as Ykka

Madalen Mills as Nassun

Matthew Gray Gubler (my dream described him as rhat white boy from Criminal Minds y'all love) as Schaffa

Laverne Cox as Tonkee (I don't know many trans actresses, but I do know she would slay as an eccentric researcher a la Professor Von Drake)

Coco Jones as Syenite

Lupita N'Yongo as Essun (my brain original cast Whoopie Goldberg and I was like that hoe is 70 ain't nobody gonna believe she had a baby in the last 3 years)

Coleman Domingo as Jija

John Boyega as Lerna

Daniel Kaluuya as Alabaster (giving my brain huge sideeye with this one idk)

The Broken Earth trilogy really did so much like?? Who else is out here with these raw and nuanced takes addressing the full range of how imperialism and oppressive systems affect everyone involved??

N.K. Jemisin really covered everything from straight up eugenics (the whole Syl Anagist plotline wtf) to the mental gymnastics those who enforce the system do to rationalize their actions (Schaffa genuinely loving Syen and being hurt that she wouldn’t just hand over her baby to be a magic torture battery like d u d e) to generational trauma and inherited violence (Essun training Nassun the way the Guardians trained her… to protect her from the Guardians).

These books are criminally underrated, or at least they don’t get a fraction as much attention as I would expect on a site like tumblr dot com

Since, like, only 2 people ever read Broken Earth trilogy I'm taking upon myself the duty to make memes
