The Secret History Fancast

Had a two hour discussion with a friend today about who we would cast in an adaptation of The Secret History by Donna Tartt, but we made it more diverse and took some liberties with the descriptions of the characters, adding more POC into our casting choices.

Richard Papen (OG unreliable narrator)

For Richard we chose Canadian actor Lucius Hoyos, who has recently played Young Gomez Addams in the Netflix tv show 'Wednesday'. Lucius was actually my friend, Green's, choice. They believed Lucius gave off 'Richard energy'. And honestly I'd have to agree with them. We also discussed that Richard would have longer hair (as seen in the image above) due to an argument with his father and growing his hair out to spite his father.

Henry Winter (The Academic)

For (My favourite) Henry we chose South Korean actor Lee Dong-Wook. The minute we saw this man in glasses and a suit we said "that's our Henry." Although neither Green or I have seen any of the media he is in, I have heard that he is an incredible actor. We also hyperfocused on his hair, and it is now canon that Henry has longer hair because he is too busy with his studies to get it cut, and he doesn't much care for his appearance.

Bunny Corcoran (The Deceased)

For our favourite dead boy, American Actor, Model and Musician Michael Pitt. I will admit I saw this picture on Pinterest while Green and I were talking about who we'd cast and I thought immediately; the eyes, the hair, the jacket; he's Bunny. I could really love to hate this guy.

Camilla Macaulay (Girlboss, Gaslight, Gatekeep)

When we got to the twins, Green suggested they be African American, and the first person to jump to mind was American Actress Lovie Simone. Her entire vibe screams Camilla, a sweet and slight girl who is also calculating and incredibly smart.

Charles Macaulay (Mansplain, Manipulate, Manslaughter)

For our other twin, American Model Mukasa Kakonge immediately jumped to mind, this photo of him has been sitting in my Pinterest for years. Almost everything about it screams Charles Macaulay. Green and I were in instant agreement.

Francis Abernathy (The Dramatic Bitch (affectionate))

Francis was a difficult one to cast, we couldn't quite find the perfect man. (We had a fight over why it can't be Timothee Chalamet, sorry Green I didn't mean to insult your husband). But then once again, Pinterest came to the rescue, and American Model Kevin Adrian seemed almost too perfect, (although both Green and I agree his hair should be longer).

Regulus Black headcanon

Regulus Black was an incredible swimmer, always had been. His cousins jokingly nicknamed him "petits poissons", little fish. On summer holidays he could always been seen swimming out further then his older cousins and brother. He found the water calming and freeing.

During his first date with James by the Great Lake, James challenged Regulus to a race. Of course, Regulus beat James with ease. He glided through the water unobstructed. It was almost like the water was an extension of himself.

It's almost ironic the way he died, drowning. He was such a good swimmer.

1984 ~ Newtmas Fic

Just a little Newtmas Modern!AU

Thomas needs to get this book finished for his class, or he might fail. Luckily for him, Newt is a good boyfriend and offers to help. However, there is more flirting and mucking around that actual work isn't getting done.

Tommy is sprawled out on my bed as I sit at my desk finishing off my English essay. He’s looking frustrated, a copy of ‘1984’ in his hands. I watch him out of the corner of my eye as he stays on the same page for a few minutes. The sun streaming in from the open window outlines his head, making him look like an angel.

“This is hopeless,” he growls, chucking the book across the room. I turn to him, a slight smile on my lips.

“I can’t finish this book in time, and I really am trying to make an effort.” He half cries as he flops down onto the bed.

I stand up and pick up the book, which is lying near the window, spine up. Poor book, how this shuck face bullies you. It doesn’t seem too big. I walk over and scooch in next to Thomas, he repositions himself so his head is on my lap. I lean my back to the wall. I open the book.

“Chapter one: it was a bright cold day in April,” I start to reading. His hand comes up and pulls the book away.

“Newt, you don’t have to do this,” he whispers. I roll my eyes and pull the book back.

“It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.”

He doesn’t object any further, he really does need to pass this class. I hold the book in one hand and with the other I play with Tommy’s hair. It’s so soft, I can tell he has washed it recently.

We sit like this for a while, me reading and Thomas making comments here and there about the book. My voice is getting scratchy and my eyes begin to droop as I finish Chapter Four.

“Comrade Ogilvy, who had never existed in the present, now existed in the past, and when once the act of forgery was forgotten, he would exist just as authentically, and upon the same evidence as Charlemagne or Julius Caesar.”

I slide in a bookmark and close the book. I look down at Tommy, his eyes closed and his breathing slow.

“You’re hopeless,” I laugh as I push the hair out of his eyes.

“Shut up, I’m still awake,” he mumbles as he slowly opens his eyes and turns his head to look at me. I laugh again and poke his nose playfully.

“You’re gonna have to move, you’re killing my legs.”

“Are you calling me fat, shank?” he exclaims, jokingly offended.

“I’m not calling you light,” I snark back, pushing him off me. He rolls but catches himself, slowly slipping off the bed.

“Newt please, help me up,” he pleads.

I stand up on the bed, looking down over him and I gently push him with my foot and say,

“Long live the king.” As he fully falls off the bed and lands with a thud.

I jump off the bed and quickly run downstairs laughing, knowing, full well, he’s going to come after me.

“You’re gonna regret that Newt!” he yells from my bedroom, I hear him giving chase, clambering down the stairs. I watch him, from the kitchen, jump the banister and land softly at the foot of the stairs. Stupid parkour skills.

He charges at me, roaring, I laugh and try to dodge out of the way. Unfortunately, he is too quick, he picks me up and flings me over his shoulder. I yelp. It’s like I weigh nothing to him.

“Tommy! Put me down!” I half scream/laugh. My stomach is sore and I’m getting dizzy from being upside down

“Apologise,” he demands, also laughing.

“NEVER!” I call back. He starts spinning.

“No. No! Tommy put me down!” I shriek, but he continues.

“Say you’re sorry”

“Ok, ok,” I cried out of breath, “I’m sorry. Can you stop spinning now?”

He stops. The world is still twirling around me. He plonks me down on one of the couches and topples on top of me. knocking the wind out of my chest.

“Get off me you shank! You’re crushing me!” I whine, trying to push him off, with no avail.

“Nope!” he pops the ‘p’. we are face to face, him grinning like a madman, but a good madman. He looks so cute and happy. I only have one option left, to free myself from his crushing weight.

I start ticking him, my fingers swiftly attacking his sides. His eyes go wide and he begins to squirm.

“Newt! Please… stop!” he laughs. He eventually rolls off me, but the traitor brings me with him. We land on the carpet, Tommy flat on his back and me triumphantly lording over him sitting on his stomach. I stop tickling him and smile cheekily.

“Pinned ya!” I shout laughing. He laughs softly, slightly out of breath from being tickled. We sit in silence, just staring at each other.

When he leans up to kiss me, I don’t pull away. He sits up and presses his lips gently to mine.

Hufflepuff headcanon

The Hufflepuff common room has an old beat up radio that will play any song you want it too. It's been around for ages, no one knows where it came from or whose it originally was but it's become a staple in any party held at Hogwarts.

To get it to work you tap it twice while saying 'ludio ludius' and then the song name.

Realization I made while watching Death Cure

At the end when they are in the Safe Haven; Gally, Brenda and Thomas all carve the names of someone they were responsible, or felt responsible, for dying.

Gally carved Chuck's name. After he was saved by Lawrence and his group it all came back to Gally. Getting stung, finding the Gladers in the Lab, shooting at Thomas, but it didn't hit Thomas. Gally wasn't particularly close to Chuck but he was still a Glader, he was still one of the many boys Gally looked out for.

Brenda carved Newt's name. If only she was faster, if only she got there in time, if only so many things went different. It wrecked her to see Thomas slowly drop Newt to the ground. It was her fault, she was too late. Jorge tries to console her, that it's not, but she'll keep that weight for the rest of his life.

Thomas carved Teresa's name. The first person he could remember meeting who seemed to understand him. Even though she betrayed them he couldn't just leave her to die. He knew people deserved second chances, I mean they gave Gally a second chance, Teresa deserved one too. If only he hadn't got shot and dragged her down.

Ashoka meeting the Skywalker twins

Din introduces them

Immediately her heart breaks because they both look so much like Anakin

Leia has his eyes and hair

Luke has his smile

Ashoka is reluctant at first, but over time she gets to know them better

She sees snippets of both Anakin and Padme in them

Luke has Padme's sense of style

Leia has Anakin's sense of humor

Luke whines and sounds just like old Skyguy

Leia has the same imposing presence that Padme did

And if things didn't go the way they did, if things were different; Ashoka wouldn't be a stranger, they were just meeting for the first time. She would have been Auntie Snips

'Cherry Bomb' by The Runaways came out in 1976, in the Marauder's 5th year at school.

The boys didn't think much of it but Sirius showed it to Marlene and she loved it. After quidditch games that Gryffindor won it wasn't an unusual sight to hear that song being blasted from the common room and Marlene and Sirius dancing on the tables together.

Most people assumed they were singing it to each other but the 5th years knew that it was directed towards Remus and Dorcas.

The Marauder Era characters reacting to a guy hitting on a girl at a bar.

James Potter - James would go over and try and be diplomatic with the guy but would have no issue beating the shit out of the guy if the situation called for it.

Sirius Black - Sirius, being the icon that he is, would go over and start hitting on the guy, and when the creep gets uncomfortable he would yell, "That's how it feels you fucking creep"

Remus Lupin - Most people who've been around Remus for a long time dont notice, but he is fucking terrifying. 6'3'' Remus covered in scars, with a cigarette probably hanging out of his mouth would probably just walk over and the guy would feel emasculated and leave.

Peter Pettigrew - Peter would go over and talk to the guy about Quidditch and give the girl a chance to escape.

Lily Evans - Lily would walk over and ask the girl if she would like to join them at their table, and if the guy continued to flirt Lily would call her boys to come deal with him.

Marlene McKinnon - No words, Marlene would come over and just slam the guys head into the bar and then walk away.

Mary Mcdonald - Mary would come over and pretend to be the girls friend and make sure everything was ok. She would then subtly insult the guy so much he'd feel inadequate and leave.

Professor Harry Potter

When Harry was younger he did want to be an Auror, but after the Battle of Hogwarts he realised that he didn't want to live that life anymore.

He spent his entire childhood fighting that fight and he was tired

He was having tea one day with McGonagall after the war and she asked him what he was planning on doing next.

He debated and deliberated for a long time but finally he said "Do you think I could teach?"

McGonagall immediately put things in place, Harry would be the next Defense Against Dark Arts teacher.

He loved it

He adored getting to know all his students and he loved the feeling of teaching.

He would set up his lessons the same way Remus did all those years ago.

Harry and Neville would sit together in the teacher's room and talk about the old days.

He never once regretted his decision

For the first time in a long time he felt peace

Peter Pettigrew was James Potter's first best friend

Their parents were family friends. They met at a dinner where they were the only kids. Bold, charismatic, charming James Potter saw awkward, shy Peter and said to himself "I'm going to be friends with that one"

James loved Peter. Saw him as a brother.

During their first year at Hogwarts, Peter was so scared that he would fail all his classes and get kicked out he had a panic attack. James sat with him until he had calmed down. He looked his best friend in the eyes and said "We will be great, we will get through this together, because you are my bestfriend and I'll make sure you do the best you can."

James Potter would find neat tricks and hacks for Peter, to help him remember things they learnt in class. He would even occasionally let Peter copy his homework but he always believed it was better for him to help Peter with his homework.

James Potter would tease his friends but always knew where to draw the line. He wasn't merciless like Sirius was sometimes.

He helped Peter get a date with the cute Hufflepuff girl in their Herbology class.

James would always remember to include Peter in their jokes, because he knew how much being included meant.

Lily wanted Remus to be their secret keeper but James persuaded her that his oldest friend would be the best person for the job.

Never did James even suspect that Peter would betray them.

Peter was his best friend.

@sirisuorionblack and @sexysirius wanted more so I am here to provide:

Much to Ted and Andromeda's dismay Nymphadora learnt her first swear word from Sirius

Nymphadora kept her hair black for a full year

Nymphadora went to a muggle school, and for a project in 2nd grade she talked about how her cousin Sirius Black was her hero

She would stay up late with him whenever he came over and get him to retell her all the pranks he'd pulled. Even if she'd heard them before million times.

When she was in 2nd year at Hogwarts she attempted one of his pranks

She almost got away with it, McGonagall remember the 4 boys doing the exact same thing. The Professor knew Sirius would be proud of his cousin.

When Sirius saw Nymphadora for the first time after getting out of Azkaban he couldn't believe that she was the same girl.

She had her mothers smile

Nymphadora vowed to kill Bellatrix after she found out what happened at the Ministry

If her and Remus had another boy, after Teddy, they where going to name him after Sirius

Just Sirius and Tonks things that I think about

Sirius had never really thought about having kids, I mean what 12 year old has?, but as soon as he held Nymphadora in his arms something awoke in him.

She was tiny, like serious itty bitty, Sirius didn't know babies could be that small.

Everything was going fine until her hair changed colour for the first time, fading from light brown to the same colour as Sirius'. The poor boy thought he broke the baby.

With every Christmas and birthday gift he got from Andromeda came with an updated picture of his niece and an artwork done by her just for 'uncle' Sirius.

The scrawled crayon drawings would get hung up by his bedhead. On display, Sirius was very proud of his cousin.

Whenever Sirius would crash at Andromeda and Ted's the house would wake up to the noise of Sirius and Nymphadora laughing and singing David Bowie songs

For her 8th birthday, Sirius bought her her first proper broomstick and taught her how to play quidditch.

When she was 9 the news of her cousin going to Azkaban broke little Nymphadora's heart.

She wrote him letters

She never got anything back

When she finally got to Hogwarts she wished with her entire heart to be in Gryffindor just like her favourite cousin.
