So I decided to make my own ACOTAR fancast because I've been seeing a lot of them lately, and I just can't understand why some people are casting white men as the bat boys. I've been seeing people casting Matthew Daddario and Tom Ellis as Azriel or Rhys and Henry Cavill as Cassian and I'm like???? The fancasts for Mor and Amren bother me a little, too, because they're usually pale. Amren is clearly described as having tan/brown skin, and although Mor is blonde, she also is described as having golden brown skin. Newsflash, people of color can be naturally blonde. If you want proof, look at Sofia Vergara.
However, I can understand why people might fancast Mor as a white woman because I know we don't often see blonde women of color, and when we hear that someone is blonde, we tend to just assume they are white as most blondes are white. But for me, there's no excuse for making Amren pale or have white skin. There are plenty of darker skinned East Asians out there, whose complexion unfortunately makes them targets of ridicule because of colorism in Asia. I understand that people aren't doing this with harmful intentions, but I just wanted to point this out because it is problematic. It is especially frustrating to me as a person of color to see white people being cast as my fellow POCs, so I made my own fancast. I hope you guys enjoy!
Akash Kumar as Rhys & Lauren de Graaf as Feyre
Vito Basso as Cassian & Yulia Rose as Nesta
Marlon Teixeira as Azriel & Bridget Satterlee as Elain (The prettiest couple in Prythian✨)
Zeline Prabowo as Amren & Sierra Skye as Morrigan
Rania Benchegra as Emerie & Madeline Ford as Gwyn (My babies 🥺)
I hope you guys enjoyed my fancast! And please for the love of god stop casting white men as the bat boys. Please. It literally shaves 10 years off my lifespan whenever I see it.
I laughed way too hard at this
americans better be rebloging the donation and help links for mexico and colombia after all the help they recieved from latin americans w their own issues
These are the blogs who write fanfiction from books that belong to Sarah J. Maas. If you write for the fandom, or know a blog that does, let me know, so I can add you to the list. :) (If you reblogged the original post and you are not on the list, send me an ask! I didn’t see it, or I missed it accidentally. It was not on purpose, and I would love to add you!)

Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian but it’s Toxic by Britney Spears
after dying god informs you that hell is a myth, and “everyone sins, its ok”. instead the dead are sorted into six “houses of heaven” based on the sins they chose.
Ok also just rereading acosf and also noticed that Cassian and Nesta’s bargain tattoo is an eight pointed star just like Bryce’s new tattoo at the end of Crescent City.
Okay so we know Nesta made 2 swords and a dagger with her magic right? And in Crescent City Bryce told us there was a Starsword and dagger, which was then lost. Bryce and Ruhn both describe the sword as glowing just like we saw in acosf so does that mean that Nesta made the Starsword and dagger in Crescent City?!
Can you please reblog if your blog is a safe place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, aromantic, pansexual, non binary, demisexual or any other kind of queer or questioning people? Because mine is.
Characters from Holly Black’s books from left to right- Kaye, Roiben, Cardan, Jude, Ben and Severin. Originally I was only going to draw Jude and Cardan but loved how Holly Black’s other characters cameoed in the book and had to draw them as well.
