Ego sum somnium

She/her. Early 20s. Sometimes I make aesthetics, sometimes I make fancasts, who knows.

"I have a Nightwing fancast!"

I'm listening!

"It is *insert an actor who is skinny, not very conventionally attractive, looks nothing like him, and is either white or just not Romani in some way*!"

Okay I'm not longer listening

TRC animation update! 🥳

[sadhoc]

Deleted the reblog for other reasons but. Jowling kowling rowling’s new book where the villain has ME, POTS, fibromyalgia, and Allodynia is going to be the first time a lot of able bodied people hear about these conditions. And it’s also going to be the first time that a lot of people who have these conditions see them in print. The harm that will do is immeasurable

[cistematicchaos]

Especially since JKR is known for successful campaigns against marginalized groups, including disabled people. She uses disability as a tragedy. She uses disability to discredit people, to villanize people and able-bodied people soak that shit up like a sponge. I can imagine way too well how horribly this shit is going to go down and I’m already exhausted.  

[sadhoc]

this is fine to reblog btw. and also with able bodied people it's like. they resent the idea that some people are sick all the time. they have a sort of constant low level anger towards us for not being able to meet their standards of productivity and physical perfection as proxy for moral purity. what stories that have disabled villains can do is take that resentment and stoke it into outright hatred and violence

[hamenthotep]

She picked those conditions specifically because they're hard to diagnose and are often considered 'fake' illnesses.

There's no real way to measure how much pain someone is in. Or how fatigued they are. It's about discrediting the villain. Not only are they woke, but they're a benefits cheat! Faking illness because they're too lazy to work.

But when the hero is a JK Rowling self insert, there's no room for reality to make an appearance

[kipplekipple]

Oh sorry, yes this is better wording.

[obaewankenope]

fuck google docs so fucking much

i've just lost hundreds of docs and pdfs and i'm beyond pissed right now

they're all permanently gone

[obaewankenope]

actually they're not holy shit

okay so, gonna tell ya'll something awesome rn

google drive is a mess sometimes with its storage things and if you're unlucky it might delete some of your files and you won't realise until it's well past the point where they won't be in 'trash' anymore and you're fucked

all is not lost however!

if you're on drive via browser, hit the little ? in a circle next to the settings cog and select "help"

search for "file recovery"

it'll show you the ways to try and recover your files on pc, android, and mac etc

these don't matter

you need to scroll down to the bottom and just hit the "contact us"

you'll be logged out automatically

log back in

click the little box to give google permission to attempt to restore your files for that account

click "submit"

give them some time to work but it's an automatic process

i've got most of my files back in less than 10 minutes

all is not lost! rejoice!

[obaewankenope]

I'm gonna reblog this again bc wow but was it helpful to learn!

[lily-s-world]

Something that really bothers me with fancasting, is that a lot of the time is full of disrespect towards the character heritage, especially when the character is latino. Per example with this recently announced casting of Red, White and Royal Blue movie adaptation, people where like "He does not look like Alex, here is my fancast of a character that I think, actually looks like Alex" and it is some actor that is not even Mexican and/or latino. I saw it a lot also with the casting of the Blue Bettle movie, people were fancasting Europeans, or the first latino they could think of, as Jaime Reyes. A character that always has been Mexican.

It is true, the Latin community sometimes can be seen as a whole, but it is conformed by a lot of countries - where each one of them has its own history, traditions, accents, behaviors...

The big Hollywood industries already do this of thinking that Latin nationalities are interchangeable, so don't fall into the same type of racism and if you're are going to play fancast, respect the heritage.

Inhabitants of 300 Fox Way, Part 4:

The end at last (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), here is our two darlings who where trapped for too long:

Millie Brady as Gwenllian ap Glyn Dŵr:

I wanted to find a Welsh actress, but again, finding someone that fitted the character here was difficult. Gwenllian, despite her madness, is described as looking young and having a "regal beauty", being also quite tall. I found Millie by chance on tumblr and immediately thought of our cracked mirror, she looks a lot to what I pictured, also being somewhat tall (Gwenllian’s height is not clearly stated, but I remember something about it being close to Jessie’s so, very tall, which wouldn’t be Millie’s case, but there are camera tricks for that). The only question here is to whether she can or not portray all the madness within Gwenllian, I didn’t find any similar role in her previous ones, but she seems to be a solid actress and this could be an opportunity for her to try something completely new.

Ioan Gruffudd as Artemus:

This was by far the easiest fancast I have ever made because from the moment I read about Artemus I thought about Ioan. It just fitted perfectly, he matches the description, he's Welsh and he is a great actor. Although I do wanna add that I wish we could get more from him, perhaps in flashbacks? I wanna see who he was before everything collapsed, maybe see more of his relathionship with Maura, Gwenllian and even Glendower.

Again, gifs and edits were made by me (and I'm still overjoyed by it), but the original videos and images belong to their respective owners and if you want to use these just credit me!

[yourlocalshewerewolf]

Inhabitants of 300 Fox Way, Part 3:

And to start the end of this little series of posts here are the first two temporary/new members of one of the best houses in Henrietta, at first I was going to post all four of them, but it got too long so there is a Part 4 coming up in two seconds. You can find Part 1 and 2 here and here, respectivelly, now here are our two darlings brought to Henrietta to find someone (althought one of them didn't know that and the other had different intentions):

Matthias Schoenaerts as Mr. Gray/Dean Allen:

I struggled so much to cast Mr. Gray, is not even a joke. My man is barely impossible to cast or maybe I just have a very specific image of him, either way, it took a while. I don't even remember how Schoenaerts came up in my radar, but as soon as I laid my eyes on him I thought I had finally found my favorite hitman. I saw someone mentioning that he had really expressive eyes and besides agreeing with that, I know this is something that would make a difference when it comes to the portrayal of this character. Mr. Gray can look calm and sometimes even emotionless, but in a general way he is threatening and I think Schoenaerts would nail this.

Danielle Brooks as Neeve Mullen:

Neeve is not a recurring presence, showing up here and there, but she has a lot of importance. She is this elegant woman who could exhale calmness in one moment only to turn cold and dangerous in the other. Brooks first came to mind because of physical resemblance, but her acting is really what defined this fancast. Not only would she do an amazing job with all the sides of Neeve that we already know, but could go further into bits that weren't much explored.

Once again I made these gifs and edits and I'm very proud of them. Original videos and photos, however, do not belong to me and all credit goes to their respective owners. If you would like to use one of these gifs, just please credit me.

[yourlocalshewerewolf]

Inhabitants of 300 Fox Way, Part 2:

Moving forward with this little series, here is Part 2, Part 3 coming soon (you can find Part 1 here):

Lovie Simone as Blue Sargent:

Like I expected, finding someone for Blue was extremely difficult, actually, casting anyone in the Gangsey has been proving to be quite a nightmare. When it came to my favorite non-psychic tho, I was stuck with a few actresses that for some reason or other I just couldn't pick for good. Obviously, Simone came out victorious here and that happened for a couple of reasons: First, she is close to Blue's age, her appearence not only matches with what I imagined Blue to look like, but also seems like a great mix of my Maura and my Artemus fancast (jackpot!) and lastly, but not less important, from what I could see she has some mad talent, even showing up in Greenleaf, you know, Oprah's series, no big deal.

Retta as Jimi Sargent:

I know Retta is mostly known for comedy roles, but just watch Good Girls and you will see the amazing range this woman has. Like, seriously, she easily became one of my favorites on that show (tho I haven't finished yet). I picked her because like with Jimi there is something about her that is welcoming, safe and you can just tell that she would do a good job. However, Jimi is another character I wanna know more about, all we know is that she is gentle, the little teaser of the story about her puching Calla was the only indication that there was more to her and I really want to know that side.

Savannah Lee Smith as Orla Sargent:

Once again we have someone we don't know much about and I would like to see more of Orla outside of her flirty side, maybe explore her relationship with the other women from the house, her psychic gifts and so on. I haven't watched the new Gossip Girl (didn't even watch the original to be honest) but Savannah seems to be a solid actress, the closest one that I could find for the image I had from Orla and I believe she could do a good job here.

Once again I'm happy to announce that I MADE THESE GIFS AND IMAGES, never gonna get tired of saying that and if you wanna use any of them just credit me. Original images and videos do not belong to me, all credit goes to their respective owners!

[yourlocalshewerewolf]

Inhabitants of 300 Fox Way, Part 1:

As I prepare myself emotionally to read "Mister Impossible", plus Maggie annunciating on twitter she is officially done with book three and is saying goodbye to this world (don't mind me, just crying in a corner), I decided to finally do a little fancast for this series that I love so much and that at the same time gives me such a headache whenever I try to do a fancast for it. Part 2 and 3 should be coming soon:

Pihla Viitala as Persephone Poldma:

I first saw Viitala in “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters” where she played a good witch, even then tho, there was something odd about her that I can’t name, but is the same feeling that I get from Persephone. They stand out, like there is something ethereal about them so put that and the fact that Pihla is a good actress and I found my favorite odd witch.

Sara Martins as Maura Sargent:

Whenever I do a fancast, I usually go back and forth for a while on whom to pick and that usually lasts for a while, oddly tho, this wasn't the case. When I started to look for someone for Maura, Sara was the only one that really got my attention (not that any other actress isn't good, it's just that there is always something missing for me). Martins is a solid actress (seriously, check her IMDB page, she has quite a resume), but now I just can't picture anyone else, she is my Maura Sargent and I'm gonna die on this hill.

Rutina Wesley as Calla Lily Johnson:

One of my favorite actresses for one of my favorite characters. Wesley is a great actress that I believe could bring a lot of depth to Calla, tho, more than anything, I just hope that if we do get an adaptation we get to know more about her. We know she is fighter and deserves every break she can get (working at Aglioby and being a psychic in Henrietta for sure has earned her 2 lifelong vacations), but there is definetly more to her that we don't know about and whatever it is, I know Wesley can pull it off.

Now, I'm gonna have my sweet moment here and say I MADE THESE GIFS AND EDITS. I'm super proud tho obviously there is still room for improvement and if anyone wants to use them go for it, just credit me, original videos and photos are not mine and all credit goes to the respective owners. Also, just to let it clear, in Pihla Viitala's gif there is a watermark, it comes from the video on youtube that I got and in case anyone wants to read it is "deadwind.karppi", I had to rotate the gif because hers was the only one facing the opposite direction (tho, now that I think of it, I should have left her facing the opposite direction, if you know, you know).

[themayfieldtreasury]

This always gets a reblog.

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

[azaraspirit]

[puurrsephone]

I NEED some luck. Please. PLEASE!

[lias-musings]

It makes me happy to know that the Netflix’s show Cidade Invisível (Invisible City) is on the Netflix’s top 10 most watch shows in at least 35 countries. To know people from all over the world are getting to know our folklore makes me excited because although Netflix has incredible original Brazilian shows (3%, Samantha!, Bom dia, Verônica, Coisa Mais Linda and so on), an original Brazilian show didn’t have that kind of international reach.

So please, watch the show and if you enjoy it, recommend it to people you know will like it as well!

[yourlocalshewerewolf]

Some of my favorite women from the X-Men:

Edit: I’m adding my thoughts here because why not.

Yetide Badaki as Ororo Munroe/Storm

If you have seen “American Gods”, you probably know why I choose her. In this show she is Bilquis, the woman who is not just a goddess but also a queen, sounds familiar? Yetide has a remarkable range when it comes to emotions, which makes me believe she would be able to portray every single side of Ororo’s character and, a beautiful plus, she has expressed that she would like to be Storm.

Brianne Tju as Jubilation Lee/Jubilee

Brianne is a Chinese/Indonesian actress that I admit I haven’t seen much of, which led me to do some extra searching. Jubilee is known to be this energetic character, but there is so much more to her that wasn’t even touched in the movie, meanwhile, Brianne is a solid actress that (from what I have seen) hasn’t portrayed a character like her, so this would be an amazing opportunity for her as well.

Medalion Rahimi as Anna Marie Darkholme-LeBeau/Rogue

Rogue is one of my favorite characters in the Marvel Universe and she was one of the characters who was done horribly by the X-Men movies (Like everyone else that wasn’t Charles Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine or Jean Grey). Note: Not blaming the actors, just writers, producers and directors. I spend a long time searching for someone to play her, I saw some favorites like Lyndsy Fonseca and Ashley Greene but even tho they looked like her and could pull it off, there was something missing for me. I found Medalion thanks to a Jasmine fancast and now that I’ve seen her acting, I have total faith that she could portray the badass, the kindness and the emotional turmoil within Rogue. Plus, just going on looks, she reminds me of one of the firsts versions of Rogue.

Maude Apatow as Katherine Anne “Kitty” Pryde/Shadowcat

I’ve only seen her in Euphoria, but her character’s personality reminds me of Kitty. With that said, this character hasn’t had much screen time, but she just captivates you and makes you wanna know more about her and it’s impossible not to give credit to Maude for that.

So, this is the first time I do something in this style and, honestly, I'm pretty happy with the result. None of the gifs were made by me, all credit goes to their respective owners!
