Stain by A.G. Howard (@aghowardwrites) is my favorite book in the entire world. Upon finishing it for the third time, my head attempted to create a fan cast. I am pretty terrible at these, especially nowadays when I don’t know too many younger actors, so this is probably the only time I’ll ever do this but here you are. I’d love to hear who else you think could portray these characters!

Lyra/Stain, princess of Eldoria: Mackenzie Foy

Vesper, prince of Nerezeth: Tanner Buchanan

Crony, harrower witch: Helena Bonham Carter

Luce, fallen sylph: Jamie Campbell Bower

Griselda, Lyra’s scheming aunt: Lana Parrilla

Avaricette, Lyra’s cousin: Maia Mitchell

Wrathalyne, Lyra’s cousin: Isabelle Fuhrman

Lustacia, Lyra’s cousin and Lyra impersonator: Kaitlin Dever

Cyprian, Vesper’s best friend: Ryan Potter

Selena, Vesper’s sister: Natalia Dyer

*I hit my picture limit but here are the other four characters I had in mind:

Madame Dyadia: Naomi Watts

Queen Nova, Vesper and Serena’s mother: Blake Lively (*I realize she’s young to play the mother, but she and Tanner and Natalia have very similar smiles)

King Kiran, Lyra’s father: Ben Barnes

Mistress Umbra/Mother Shroud, the leader of the shrouds in the Ashen Ravine: Cate Blanchett

Shades of Rust and Ruin - A.G. Howard (Shades of Rust and Ruin #1)

Embrace the mysterious. Invoke the magical. Enter the Mystiquiel... Phoenix “Nix” Loring knows her family is under a Halloween curse. When she was three, her parents tragically died on October 31st. Eleven years later, her twin sister Lark suffered a similar fate. Ever since, Nix has battled survivor guilt. She can’t even find comfort in Clarey, Lark’s boyfriend and the one person who understands her pain, because Nix’s hidden feelings for him go far beyond friendship. All that remains are her sketches, where she finds solace among the goblins and faeries in her imaginary world of Mystiquel. When her depression starts affecting her ability to see color, Nix all but gives up on her art, until her uncle goes missing on Halloween day. Hot on his trail, Nix and Clarey step through a portal, becoming trapped inside a decaying version of their town filled with Nix’s own sketches come to life. As Nix and Clarey search for her uncle within the sinister and dangerous world of Mystiquel, Nix discovers there’s more to her family curse and otherworldly artwork than she ever imagined—and unless she can solve the Goblin King’s maze before the clock strikes midnight, her life won’t be the only one the curse claims next.

Splintered DR Intro

Splintered is a book series by A.G. Howard about a girl named Alyssa Gardner. Alyssa is the great-great-great-granddaughter of Alice Liddel, the girl who Alice in Wonderland was based off of. I’m literally just gonna link the wiki because I have tried to summarize this seven times and I can’t so if you wanna know more cool (also if you do read it I’m in the process of fixing the wiki because it’s missing a lot of stuff) so here, wiki link.

Name:

Alyssa Victoria Gardner

Age: 16

Height: 5’4”

Birthday: October 24, 2007

Race: half human, half netherling (not technically but apparently?)

Sexuality: Straight (I deal with enough love triangles in this reality, the last thing I need is to add WOMEN to the mix)

Gender and Pronouns: Gender-Fluid, she/they

Languages: English (both American and British), French, probably other stuff idk

Favorite things: orange juice, art, skateboarding, flying, eels, fingerless gloves

Hates: the way that bugs scream when cats eat them, being manipulated

Aesthetic:

Whatever the hell this is

Random Info

Wears gloves all the time because of scars my mother accidentally gave me on my palms as a kid. If anyone sees them, I say I got into a car accident

Hates red roses. More than anything in the world

Wasn’t allowed to change my hair because my father saw my mother in it so I wear hair extensions and loads of makeup because I don’t want to look like my mom

Wonderland from the Splintered series by A.G Howard. Also sorry I sent an ask in earlier with Meya from the Medoran Chronicles, I meant to put Medora, as Meya is a city while Medora is the world. Thank you!

I fixed Medora, but Wonderland is a tricky one. I want to say yes because I love Splintered and it feels very different from the usual Wonderland, but it is technically the same world. So, the people shall decide!

Goodsir, Bridgens, HMS Terror

goodsir - which living creatures fascinate you the most?

currently? guinea pigs 🥹 but usually? vultures!

bridgens - what’s the first book you remember falling in love with?

A combo of Maximum Ride by James Patterson (but, like, this manga adaptation of it, because I read that first, I love the art style, and it was FORMATIVE for preteen Jojo) and the Splintered series by A.G. Howard, both of which were huge inspirations to get into creative writing!

HMS Terror - what was the first historical event or period you remember being interested in?

As a kid I wasn't really OBSESSED, but my love for ghost-hunting shows got me hella interested in the Lizzie Borden murders 💀then it evolved into my obsession with the late Victorian Era with Jack the Ripper

New getting to know you game!

Favorite movie: My Neighbor Totoro. It's the first movie I can ever remember watching, and it will always, hands down, be my favorite. It started my love of Studio Ghibli movies.

Favorite book: Splintered by A.G. Howard. A dark and twisted Alice and Wonderland retelling about Alice's descendant, filled with a lot of crazy, creepy, and wonderful details. Read it years ago and it instantly became my favorite.

Favorite any fandom rare-pair: The Ancient One and Kaecilius. I always assumed they had a relationship, and I headcanon them as having had one. Unfortunately for me, there is very little content with this air. Six stories. Just. Six. If that isn't the ultimate rare-pair, I don't know what is it.

Movie and/or TV show that you watched in the past year that surprised you, but you would totally recommend: For the movie, that would be The Hunt (Jagten). Recommended to me by an AO3 author. It's about a man wrongly accused of sexually abusing a child in his kindergarten class, who is also the child of his best friend. I've never had a movie make me so angry before. I mean, I get why people were making assumptions and such, but what got to me most was the guy he had known since they were toddlers didn't even give him a moment's benefit of the doubt. Didn't take a single moment to listen to him. And the kid (teenager) who actually led to the whole thing happening, even unintentionally, never spoke up or was pointed out.

For the TV show, that's tied between Hannibal and Supernatural. I was little apprehensive about both, because while I wanted to watch Hannibal when it first aired, I wasn't allowed (too young) and I'd never watched anything so dark or violent. But now it's my favorite TV show, and I would totally recommend it. It's dark, twisted, and really intriguing. I love Hannigram.

As for Supernatural, I'd seen some clips of Sam and Dean over the years, and one episode I watched, they seemed like complete jerks, so I was iffy about starting it. I feel silly for being hesitant now, because it is SO good. It's funny, compelling, and interesting, even if sometimes the Winchester brother break-up angst gets on my nerves.

What's your profile pic and why?: Profile pic is Abigail Hobbs from Hannibal, in the episode Primavera. It went with my header, which I changed after getting mad at the old one (for petty personal reasons), and I love the lighting in it. I also really liked Abigail's outfit and hairstyle in that episode.

No pressure tagging: @keepmeinmind-01, @creative-girl, and @inastarlesssky, plus anyone else who wants to play! I don't know who follows me or is a mutual and likes to play these.
