#most of these are also self indulgent lol but that's the point of fancast

[thisbentleyplaysqueen]

Aight so none of you asked but here’s my Percy Jackson series fan cast

This is the first one I’ve ever done so I have no idea how this works. Also, I like the idea that the children be unknown actors so I only did the adults! Let’s get started!

Sally Jackson

Jennifer Hudson!!! The absolute queen! I think she would make an awesome Sally Jackson mainly because I love her acting and she deserves better after Cats.

Gabe Ugliano

David Cross. Honestly I’m not sure why I thought he would be a good Gabe...I think it’s because he was the bad guy in Alvin and the Chipmunks and that kinda stuck with me. I think he could pull off “jerk face step-dad”.

Chiron

Michael Sheen! Honestly the beard gives me ‘mentor that has been around for thousands of years and is honestly trying to keep this sixth grader from being killed by a “kindly one” on a field trip’ vibes. Also, he can do American accents (Prodigal Son is a great example). Not sure how he’d look as a centaur because my brain will not allow me to view that, so we’re just flying blind here.

Mr. D

So I’ve been a big advocate that Danny Devito should play Mr. D because if you listen to “Another Terrible Day” from the musical, to me that just screams Danny Devito. He could so pull it off!

Hades

Keanu Reeves just seems like he would be an awesome king of the underworld. He would threaten to trap Percy and his friends and I would clap just because it’s Keanu. Gah, I love him.

Poseidon

I don’t know if this is because I associate him with Aquaman or what, but honestly I want to see Jason Momoa as God of the Sea! Also, he could wear a Hawaiian shirt, chill and vibe, and wouldn’t have to go through the dangerous process of having abs on screen, so it would be great for him!

Zeus

GAH! Just... let me see Jeff Bridges as the King of the Gods! Look at him! I may know him as the Dude, the mentor from the Giver, and Kevin Flynn, but I would love to see him as an uber serious god who’s pissed because some kid stole his lightning bolt (we kinda saw that in the Giver and when Kevin Flynn Saw Some Things in Tron: Legacy, but I would like to see more).

Athena

I love Stephanie Beatriz, and it would be really cool to see her as the Goddess of Wisdom who does not approve of Percy, especially when it comes to her daughter. If not her, then I definitely would recommend Adria Arjona. In fact, now that I think about it, I would love to see her as Athena over Stephanie (but I love them both).

Hermes

I really think Tyler James Williams would be a cool Hermes. Also his ending in Whiskey Cavalier (where he presumably died or was kidnapped but we don’t know because it got cancelled) shows he deserves better. I would love to see him in this role!

Apollo

Will Smith would be an awesome Apollo! That scene from “The Titan’s Curse” where Apollo is driving his car across the horizon? I just see Will Smith. He would be so much fun!

Artemis

I just remember that in most scenes Artemis is portrayed as a young girl, about the same age as her Hunters. When I thought of that, all I saw was Erin Kellyman from her role as Enfys Nest in Solo. I would love to see her as Artemis!

Hera

I love Octavia Spencer and she serves “Queen of the gods” vibes at all times. I’m here for it!

Ares

Gonna be honest, this was my brother’s suggestion but I think Terry Crews would be a pretty cool Ares. I’m just curious about how he would pull of the biker vibe...

Aphrodite

I know in the book it says her appearance is always changing and I honestly do not have the strength to assign what actors would make a good Aphrodite so we’re just gonna skip this one.

Hephaestus

I love The Rock, and I would be happy to see him in any role in this series, but my brother suggested Hephaestus and I think it’s a pretty cool idea.

Aunty Em/Medusa

Honestly every time I thought about Medusa, I just thought of the White Witch lady from Narnia, so Tilda Swinton it is.

Mrs. Dodds

I honestly have no idea. For some reason, I can’t think of an actress that can pull off a southern accent that matches my image of Mrs. Dodds. So.....we’ll just move on.

Crusty

Ned Dennehy played Hastur in “Good Omens”, and he did such a good job of making my skin crawl. Those vibes are needed for Crusty the bed seller/ apparent child torturer.

Charon

This is another pull from “Good Omens” but Brian Cox did such an amazing job as Death! His voice just mixed with how I thought the ferryman of the Underworld, so bring him back for another death-related role!

And finally...

Kronos

Okay, so my brother made a suggestion of Andy Serkis as Kronos (since he is mainly just a voice character and ends up taking Luke’s form in the books if I remember right), and I could definitely see that! He voiced Snoke in Star Wars, and was the crazy white villain in Black Panther, but also (because I’m a total nostalgic) I just thought of someone who I could see voicing Kronos that I love so much....

BRUCE BOXLEITNER! For those who don’t know him, he’s mainly known as the voice of Tron in literally ANYTHING in the Tron franchise. He’s got this deep voice that would work so well for Kronos. Also, I miss seeing him in things that I deeply enjoy. Miss you king.

And that’s about it! Thanks for joining my excited rant.

Ok self indulgent friend OC tag, @thebleedingeffect @fanfics-she-wrote ignore this if you want, this is just me being silly KSKSK

1) Favorite OC in the AU: Ryurik Orlov/Lana Romanova

2) Least favorite OC/Just one you're neutral about: Definitely Iziaslav, he fell off my graces ever since that one Stephen scene and I just?? Left him there ADKDKD/ Hmmm, the new spider kid maybe?? They look cool but I have no opinion on them yet lol

3) Headcanons you have about some of their OCs: Lilliya loves flowers and Mikhail is strangely good at making origamis. His favorite pastime is crafting bouquets made of powers with her favorite flowers and leave it in places he knows only her would go. She doesn't have a favorite flower per say, but she's drawn to the one's with meanings such as "longing" "free" "yearning" "youth" and the along the lines.

I've always liked the thought of Nova being multilingual! Most of the time she talks good-natured shit behind people's backs or just teases them in plain sight without them noticing (except for Thor and Loki cause Asgard gang ayee) when they're in public and people would give her sideways looks for daring not to speak ENGLISH she'd switch languages for the fun If watching them stew. She calls Peter really sweet nicknames in multiple languages tho lol

4) Favorite villain: Mannnn. Lilliya was my favorite for a long time before her redemption!! I just loved her vibe and I could understand her motive really well. It's hard to pick because @thebleedingeffect writes villains incredibly well so it's really hard to pick just one lol.

//Hmm, well! At least for me Thanos is a pretty reaccuring villain in the AU?? But never someone really permanent? So I don't have an exact "favorite" though the fae society was fairly cool!

5) Favorite pairing(s): The winterhusbands, Mikhail/Lilliya aaaaaand that's about all really lol.

// Hmmm, I really liked Sly Jones and Bucky at one point!! But Zin and Loki was also cute :>

6) Favorite side character: LUCIEN jsjsj // Definitely Becky lol

7) Personal fancast you have for a/some OC(s): If the AU was mainstream and portrayals were up for interpretation, I'd cast Godfrey Gao as Ryurik, and Mariano Di Vaio as Aleksei :>> (Just the top of my head lol)

Hmmm, I haven't really thought about this, but maybe Lauren Cohan for Nova!! Grow up version maybe tho lol
