#shadow and bone fancast

[aleksanderscult]

your ideal darklina casting?

Hehehe I was hoping for this kind of question 😈😏

So!

For the Darkling it's easy-peasy.

Matthew Bell 🫶

He is EXACTLY how I picture the Darkling when I'm reading the books or imagine the character in general. Like Aleksander himself popped out of the pages. Just magnifique 😍👌

This edit of him *screaming*:

Fun fact: He was also the original fancast before this Ben Barnes thing. Who by the way doesn't remind me of Book!Aleksander at all.

This edit and meme of Matthew summarizes my thoughts about him perfectly:

Now for Alina it's so hard 'cause I really don't know. I have tried to find a girl that encaptures the image that I've created for her in my head but I can't find it (a young girl, very thin with brown hair, looking frail but strong at the same time. Know what I mean?)

Some say that Adelaide Kane makes a good Alina

Maybe she would if she looked younger because Alina is supposed to be seventeen at the beginning of S&B. And we kinda need an actress that can pull of both a messy, tired look and a glamorous one. Adelaide has that AND Lily Collins. The latter is a good option too.

But! While I was scrolling at Pinterest one day I came across this edit and I was like "Woah! Alina. Is that you?"

She REALLY reminds me of her but I don't know what her name is 😭😭

petition: ben barnes fans should be called ducklings

after attending his show in DC, where we managed to pass a tiny duck to Ben Barnes and he called us all Lucky Ducks, I think the jury's out...

what do you think about Kit Young (Jesper Fahey from “Shadow and Bone”) as a fancast Blaise Zabini?🤔

[darklinaforever]

Alina & the Darkling. (Alarkling)

I didn't have to stand here in the Darkling arms. I could vanish from his grip, slide back into consciousness and the safety of a stone room hidden in the mountaintop. But I didn't want to go. Despite, everything, I wanted this whispered confidence.

Mal & Alina. (Malina)

“I'm not like you, Mal. I never really fit in the way that you did. I never belonged anywhere.”

“You belonged with me,” he said quietly.

“No, Mal. Not really. Not for a long time.”

aesthetic book!Alina Starkov (what if she kept her powers ?)

[aleksanderscult]

I LOVED your casting and i really don't mean it in any offensive way but i was just curious of what would you picture a Shu Alina as? (She is shu in my head and fics lol).

Thank you! Glad you liked it🫶

Not offensive at all! Don't worry. We've all got a different version of book characters in our mind. That's the magic of imagination❤️

So, I had to make a little research in order to think about this well and to get to know more Asian actresses that would fit this role.

Aside from Jessie Mei Li who really fits the role of Shu Alina, I actually really like Liu Yifei too! She may not be the right age but the vibes are there 😍

(For those who don't know, she played Mulan in the live-action movie with the same name)

In the Istorii Sankt'ya, he's known as Sankt Ilya, bound in chains and drowned in the river for his sins after he resurrected a village boy cut in half by a plow blade.

Alys van Eck fancast - Carla Woodcock

I think she'd make a good Alys and this would also be an amusing Easter Egg for anyone who's also seen Free Rein since she was Susie in that

[gabbodelaparra]

This is so Grishaverse coded it's not even funny.
