Open A New Window Somewhere In The World. 

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.

adhd student: i love learning and i actually hunger for knowledge, but the way the school system currently operates doesn’t work well for people with brains like mine. i am capable of maintaining acceptable and even good grades, but it takes about 3x the time and effort of the average student. all my life i have been receiving messages, overt and subtle, that i am deficient, lazy, and/or weird for my inability to perform well in that environment, and my self-worth has been utterly decimated as a result. 

what ppl hear:

I have this headcanon that the House of Wind starts being extra nice to Cassian after officially mating with Nesta. Like making sure his weapons are polished. His leathers are clean. That when he comes back weary from a long day from the Illyrian war camps, there’s a plate of his favorite food and a hot bath waiting whether Nesta is there or not. Like a salute to “my girl loves you, so I’ll take care of you too.”

Alternatively, when Cassian and Nesta get into a fight, the house almost always sides with Nesta. You will hear multiple doors slamming from all the way at the other ends of hallways... Well, until it thinks they’ve taken it too far than you best believe that house is going to withhold all amenities until they make up and or lock them in a room together.

The S must mean sanity was never an option.

The A in USA stands for "anxiety"
