Carmen: Everyone’s parents seem to have a cute story of how they met, and meanwhile my parents met when my mother was running from the police and jumped onto the back of my father’s motorcycle screaming, “Drive fucking drive!”

*sighs*....them.

love this casting !! Always thought Briane Tju would be the perfect cinder but im liking alexa loo as well! 

I did a The Lunar Chronicles fancast

Here's part 1 with Cinder, Kai, Scarlet and Wolf!

Cinder (age 16):

She's supposed to be mixed, so I picked:

Olivia Rodrigo (2003. American. White/pacific islander: filipina)

Alexa Loo (2003. Canadian. White/east asian: chinese)

Kai (age 18):

Cha Eunwoo (1997. Korean. Note: not fluent in English)

Xiao Dejun (1999. Chinese. Note: semi-fluent in English. Tiny note: as a fan of him I think he would really like to act in something YA-like where he gets to play a prince)

They are both mostly singers/dancers but it's what I could find

Scarlet (age 18):

Kyra Leroux (2001/2002?. Canadian. Note: fluent in French)

Francesca Capaldi (2004. American)

Wolf (age 23):

Youssef Sawmah (1997. Lebanese/egyptian. Note: not an actor but a model)

Faris Al Bahri (age unknown but most likely 20-25. Lebanese).

I wanted to try and make an updated 2021 version that was as age-accurate and ethnicity-accurate as possible, so those two were my main criteria. So if they look a little too young it's because yeah the characters are pretty young in the books.

After that I considered acting experience, fluency in english (bc I imagine if this were to really happen it would be a Hollywood production ya know) and then physical appearance matching the canon description.

I put two options for each character, one usually a little older than the other so I basically ended up making two full(?) fancasts, for most of them the younger actor is more age-accurate.

This was very hard oh my god I spent like 3 weeks researching like it was homework for absolutely no reason

Shoutout to everyone on tumblr and tiktok that has ever made a fancast because I probably looked through ALL of them (special shoutout to tiktok user @/sista.krista, she started making a good one a while ago but unfortunately only did a few characters)

Also note: I didn't consider the "book trailers" existing on youtube bc I don't really like them lol

Also I tried to avoid actors who were problematic but I'm not super sure I did well on that, you can always inform me! I'd be grateful

Part 2:

Becky

The Lunar Chronicles fancast pt.2

Here's my part 2 with Cress, Thorne, Winter, Jacin and Iko! Cress (age 16): Kyla Matthews (2004. Canadian) She has played a character simil

THEY’RE EVERYTHING TO ME,,,,

I agree with all of this but i think in a way ekko and mel WERE kinda treated like after thoughts by the writers themselves compared to the main 5. Well, ekko at least, altho i have a few problems with mel’s s2 arc being too convenient. They definitely both deserved better.

Just wanna say that I think Ekko and Mel slander makes sense when you understand that 85% of the Arcane fandom views both of them as characters less worthy of fandom attention.

In their eyes, they are afterthoughts to more interesting relationships, so when someone in the 15% dares to give them anything outside of dutiful lamentations ("Mel and Ekko deserved better!"), they can't help but feel those analysis would be better suited for a character they *actually* like and so they lash out.

Fans of both characters have to constantly argue that these characters have loved and have been loved. They want Mel "independent" because she doesn't "need love" and they want Ekko focused on The Tree and the unnamed Firelights because they want it to be easier to carve both of them out of the interpersonal narratives that attaches fandoms to characters in the first place.

They want Mel and Ekko to "save the day" because they don't want their roles in the story to interfere with other characters that they like. Better for them to beat the Bad Guys™ than to be given more material that would validate their personal connections with other characters in ways that the fandom would prefer to ignore.

And the fact that Ekko and Mel are completely different characters who have never once interacted with each other and yet somehow both of them are being treated the same way with how the fandom constantly diminishes their relationships with the rest of the main cast leads me to believe that it does have something to do with the One Trait they do share.

Everything here honestly

Stromae wrote Ma Meilleure Ennemie about a couple who both love and hate each other. We hear both of their perspectives through his and Pomme's individual verses which seem to directly allude to Ekko and Jinx's feelings for each other (later confirmed by the AMV). It was such a turning point for timebomb because it was the first instance of the ship appearing to be more than just a one-sided crush on Ekko's part.

The Coldplay remix goes back to square one with an additional yearning verse for Ekko but yet again nothing from Jinx's POV, making the relationship portrayed in the song unbalanced. Normally, I would be floored by the unashamedly down-bad lyrics - but in the context of how Ekko's character was reduced entirely to his relationship with Jinx and her development in season 2 - all these lyrics about him worshipping her like a goddess just leave a sour taste in my mouth.

just some teens being happy....
