[@venusv8268]

brandonthebookaddict I love that's Natasha pinned this post 😂😂😂

[@booksbyleynes]

Add his ignorance of Hamilton to this list.

[@tiamather3537]

brandonthebookaddict *echoes* Tasha's outrage

[@jessethereader]

I AM RHYSAND HEAR ME ROAR DARLING

[@ellag1417]

jessethereader Of course Rhysand darling

[@JamesLawner]

jessethereader Watch Star Wars, I bet it's on your local Netflix; what're you waiting for?!

[@shay6591]

jessethereader Jesse for Rhys 2017

[@eimearcullen8358]

The darling part killed me😂

[@abbeebadooboo]

jessethereader darling 😂😂 Have you even read ACOMAF?!

[@jessethereader]

lol @ me not knowing any actors

[@DG-bl4nn]

Same though

[@tashapolis]

GO WATCH SOME MOVIES!!!!!

[@natalie7283]

jessethereader Lol I only recognized about 3 actors 😂

[@JamesLawner]

jessethereader Do you live in a cave??!! 😂😂😂😫😫😫

[@chloemoore4354]

your facial expressions killed me😂

[@Katytastic]

lololol i love how even in this fun discussion type vid we still argue just as much as we do during the competitions XD

[@gwenmp29]

I love that you included a korean actress. :) I love Park Shin Hye.

[@ashley2532]

I love that you watch Supergirl! Best show ever!

[@Sophie703]

Katytastic I pictured Rhys as Ian too 😊

[@NabilaSegovia]

I love that Kat watches kdramas :')

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

ALSO WHEN DID IAN GET TO BE 38? HE WAS 33 ONCE! also Margo and I are the same age. she's a lil past early 20's but i'm still down with her as celeana.

[@claudiamendozachavez7068]

polandbananasBOOKS I was never able to fancast Celaena until now, she would be awesome

[@alexisvlogsandkpop9780]

polandbananasBOOKS he didn't look 38 to be honest

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

LOVED THISSSSS! I LOVE DISCUSSING THESE THEY'RE SO FUN!

[@milicapetrovic2824]

what do you think of Sabrina carpenter as aelin?

[@INeedYouToBreathe]

I always imagine characters to be perfect. Waaaay more beautiful than any real person would be so casting always ruins it for me

[@tashapolis]

That's how I was when I was younger, but that's not the real world. I think having an actor in your head helps you notice the flaws we all have.

[@andrealewis2501]

You don't think any of those people are beautiful? I'm surprised. I was thinking there were quite a few of them who were. For example, Margert Robbie in Suicide Squad looks great the whole time! There were many other actors that they listed who I also think looked pretty in their photos.

[@maliatfirst9]

oh shittt me toooo. i imagine them like anime characters. which is not possible

[@bookishsophia]

i relate to jesse so much lmao. i watch like 2 shows and so i'm like "...who are these people"

[@bat5092]

thebookbasement Same. Same.

[@Zoovilifts]

Same

[@ender4344]

Same lol

[@caitlinhickson1021]

*Kat about Ian* : i don't care I just want him in everything he's so beautiful! *me* : same

[@marielav]

I was dying at the Chaol and Daniel Radcliffe part😂😂. Christine making fun of Chaol, Jesse outraged, and Kat just shipping herself with Daniel😂. Also Jesse acting out all the male characters in TOG😂.

[@Mel-mu1hk]

POLDARK IS EVERYTHING Jesse's outrage at Daniel Radcliffe as Chaol xD I was with Natasha on the "It's starwars" that is my whole life haha. Jessie is so frickin' lost during this whole thing and it is hilarious haha.

[@stephpiano2908]

YESSSS POLDARK IS PHENOMENAL

[@morgan0321]

when kat said she was gonna cast someone from a kdrama i literally screamed out loud lol I LOVE PARK SHIN HYE BTW!! i could see her as cinder but only the appearance considering she only speaks korean hahahaha

[@LovelyGirl_XO]

morgan K drama squad!

[@morgan0321]

Holanda S 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@jinpluskenequalsheartattac3290]

Yesss

[@Xk8rsx]

I cast myself as the main character in stories all the time 😍😍😂😂 you're not alone Tasha

[@MysteriesofWriting]

Xk8rsx when I heard that I was just thinking that's so me! 😂

[@howiegillian8968]

omg I died at the "he's a mom crush" 😂😂😂

[@ciarabarnes1369]

I've always pictured Cinder as Raven from The 100.

[@adriannathurlow386]

Ciara Barnes exactlyyy

[@evitavetsika5016]

Omg same

[@jeralyncabaluna5819]

No one is perfect enough to cast as Will Herondale and Rhysand anf Dorian

[@jeralyncabaluna5819]

*and

[@emmareese4520]

Max Irons as Chaol Westfall. He played king Edward IV in the White Queen miniseries

[@chocolatewishful]

Christine: "Sometimes I fancast by accident." Me: *Flashback to when Christine couldn't stop imagining Tyler Hoechlin as Daemon from Obsidian*

[@Patriciiaaa12]

I'm just like Natasha I always need to fancast actors before starting to read a book, it's super hard for me to come up with characters on my own head, I don't know why! I wish I didn't have the need to fancast and that I could just imagine random people but I just can't!

[@michellevyanca5280]

me too! and i switch actors half way if it doesnt match the description in the book lol

[@roselightz_3027]

Patricia Alexandra but sometimes you're totally wrong with your imagination😂😂 There's one character that I ALWAYS picture like....I can't describe it, but it's like old and ..don't know...not goodlooking? because I kinda didn't pay attention when he was introduced and now he is the love interest of that pretty young woman(main character) I think he is same age as her...but I still don't really know and it's frustrating to always have my initial image of him in my mind😂😂

[@joshuadanko2889]

Jesse's first mistake was casting himself as any male in SJMaas books. There's a 100000000% chance you'll picture yourself naked (especially Rhysand)

[@tashapolis]

Oh my goshhhhhhhhhh AHHHHHH MY EYES

[@joshuadanko2889]

OMG I DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT THAT IMAGE IN YOUR HEAD I'M SO SORRY I LOVE JESUS I SWEAR

[@faithjones6202]

ok so in the books Rhysand and the other Illyrians were described as having dark tan skin so I always pictured them as being like almost middle Eastern not white.

[@kellil3460]

Richard Madden (as he looked in Cinderella) as Dorian.... I stand by that fancast forever ahaha

[@TheReadingWerewolf]

I don't know enough celebrities to fancast characters.

[@MysteriesofWriting]

TheReadingWerewolf so me! 😂

[@beebutwithac]

mood

[@ender4344]

This is so me

[@cianrogan542]

Natasha you are so great! This video hasnt really been done before so kudos for that!!! I love your channel and hello from Ireland!!!! Brilliant video! 😀😀😀

[@tashapolis]

THANK YOU CIAN!

[@Teresebooo]

Max Irons as Chaol. I would die

[@tashapolis]

PLEASE

[@claudiamendozachavez7068]

Teresebooo AGREED 🙌🏻

[@cristinasjourney]

Natasha, this is your best editing!! I can't stop laughing!

[@ashleysweet2401]

This was hysterical. Natasha picking Superman for everything was great. Yes Christine, I totally saw Rhysand as Sam Claflin.

[@hibaz5157]

I CLICKED SO FAST. IVE BEEN WAITING TOO LONG FOR THISSS

[@chelseas1346]

Ki Hong Lee as Kai (Minho from the Maze Runner and Dong from Kimmy Schmidt)

[@rhetoricalproceeds4835]

Chelsea S yeah but with longer hair

[@abbydanielle6210]

the only reason I know Naomi Scott is Lemonade Mouth whoopsss

[@ranishelton3653]

When Bookspolsion does collabs and my feed blows up😂

[@Altusiam]

HENRY CAVILL IS A MOM CRUSH? Girl. I'm 25 and I've been crushing on him since 9th grade when I saw him in the count of monte cristo -.-

[@tashapolis]

Tea_Rekkt SAME

[@rachelc9427]

Kat and Daniel Radcliffe, my new ship

[@Katytastic]

otp

[@TheDomiww]

Brant Daugherty as Rhysand, and Clara Alonso (a spanish model) as Feyre. The closest I ever come to casting those two characters as actual people. I feel like no one is ever perfect enough. Also - Christine representing Team Dorian like a boss 👐 "He would be a funny Chaol." Bless 😂

[@HBlehed]

I never found anyone who reminds me of Feyre till now! Clara is a veryyy good fit!

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

Clara is such a good fit!

[@JamesLawner]

Also, My fancast for Lunar Chronicles is FLAWLESS, Kelsey Chow - Cinder Booboo Stewart - Kai Jacqueline Emerson - Scarlet Evan Ross - Wolf Ian Harding - Capt. Thorne Regan Peruse - Cress Alexandra Shipp - Iko Bryce Dallas Howard - Queen Levana

[@mathilde3157]

NATASHA YOUR RHYSAND FANCAST IS PERFECT!! I had no idea who this was but I'm finally able to put a real face to what I was imagining

[@karleynygren5644]

I always pictured Kiersey Clemons as Winter.. it makes so much sense to me since I've seen her in other things. LOVE this video and the idea behind it!

[@rebelditaya]

In my mind I picture Herman Tømmeraas (from the TV show Skam) as Will Herondale and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as Tessa (because i've seen a lot of edits on tumblr and i started to see her as Tessa)

[@moonchild708]

Tasha, Christine, and Katy all posted at the SAME time #thirdworldproblems

[@annap8824]

IKR

[@anjicooper3145]

Where is Christine's?

[@NotBulletProof245]

Kyla White isn't it firstworldproblems

[@annap8824]

I have that problem too!

[@historiapinkman7012]

and jesseth

[@EllaIngram]

Tilda Swinton is my Seelie Queen (from the Shadowhunter Chronicles). She played Jadis the White Witch from the Narnia films, and the way she played that character - cold, cunning, regal - is how I imagined the Seelie Queen (although maybe a little less evil). When I'm reading the books I imagine the White Witch but with red hair :P

[@TheMediaQueer]

I don't usually match actors to characters at all. Never even thought about doing that before actually. Could be fun to try.

[@proudbooklion2094]

I don't know any actors BUT THIS WAS SO AMAZING! THANK YOU!

[@LunaInuzukaUzumaki]

My Infernal Devices casting is: Anna Popplewell (from Narnia) as Tessa, I like Aaron Taylor Johnson as Will, Jackson Wang or Joshua Hong for Jem, Nell Tiger Free (Game of Thrones) as Jessamine, Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones) or Emma Watson as Charlotte, and Eddie Redmayne as Henry. I can so easily see these actors and actresses in these parts. Especially Eddie, Nell, and Anna.

[@styriadevil4254]

"I don't care, he is beautiful" I can relate so much😂😂😂

[@kazzified29]

OMG YES HENRY CAVILL FOR RHYSAND! Those cheekbones! I had Aiden Turner in my head when I read ACOTAR. I use actors as templates when I'm reading too. I know that a lot of the actors are too old but it doesn't matter because it's not that I actually want them to be that character in a movie/series. I did my own video on that a couple of weeks ago. Haha.

[@iambutpaper1172]

EZRA AS BAZ IS LIKE THE DREAM

[@lourdesalvarez8516]

So I completely understand, I fancast characters all the time, it makes it a lot eisier to imagine their facial expressions and such. I also mix in characters I completely imagine on my own though. I love how a book can look totally different from how other ppl imagine it. Loved this vid.

[@yinglitang4734]

I love this video!! It's such an amazing idea and I love to see how other people cast the SJM characters

[@xzonia1]

I'm glad Jesse was there because I didn't know who most of the actors were either by name, and the ladies would tell him and I'd think oh! right, I know who that is! X)

[@cerebrae]

Keira Knightley as Celaena, Elle Fanning as Cress, Theo James as Chaol? Those are the casts that popped into my head while watching :"c)

[@kariboheme]

Jesse actually chose some great actors for this! His pick for Nick and suggestion for Tamlin were great. And his pick for Feyre, I think that actress def has the personality if not the exact looks. I love Teresa Palmer as Celaena. I saw it suggested once and can't picture anyone else now. For Lunar Chronicles, I like Madeline Petsch (Cheryl Blosson from Riverdale) as Scarlet and Bob Morley (Bellamy from the 100) as Wolf. Who would you all fancast as Thorne from Lunar Chronicles? And ooo Queen Levana?!

[@alicehalvardsson3197]

I love these fan-casting videos. This made my day, watching you four cast characters!Jesse as Rhysand (yeeeeeeeeeeesss)!!!!!!

[@erinmariecece]

Oh I enjoyed this video so much! I self insert myself into about every book I read. Tris, Celeana, Feyre, Clary, Cath, Cress, the list goes on and on and on! XD I make up characters in my head so it's SO WEIRD to see people who don't look exactly how I pictured them too, Rhysand is the hardest, he is too beautiful for any mortal to play.

[@meganh2399]

Katy! I looooove kdramas ❤️ Park shin Hye would be perfect :) loved your beautiful

[@jinpluskenequalsheartattac3290]

Shin Hye is so good!

[@florianegabriel69]

Tasha I love the same actors an tv shows as you it's so funny !! poladark is such a good show ! Great video It was really fun to watch !

[@arelycastaneda9509]

I saw the Pinterest board that Leigh did herself for Kaz in Six of Crows and after that I couldn’t picture him as any actor. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@evajohnson4761]

I love this!! I really picture Kaya Scodelario as Tessa from id !

[@eshkarkorenlawrence2565]

NEWT SCAMANDER'S ACTOR AS SIMON SNOW

[@austinm2293]

Eshakr Koren Lawrence too old

[@eshkarkorenlawrence2565]

Austin Cantley yeah... He's got the hair though

[@rachanaram4878]

I really don't think Eddie looks anything like Simon, except for the hair. And he's too old

[@Oncekaterina]

the guy that’s playing younger newt in the new fantastic beasts,, absolutely

[@caithurlee166]

Ahhhh do another, do another one! I could watch this all day!

[@sidneybutterworth4579]

I know he gets fan casted for everything, but I feel Dylan O'Brien would make a perfect Kaz.

[@helenkidd6496]

eleanor tomlinson as feyre for sure! me and my friend are freaking addicted to both poldark and acotar and we were ranting about how much we wanted feyre to be played by our smol bean demelza💛💛💛💛💛

[@LittleBrassPegasus]

LMAOOOOO yall are funny AF I don't know his name, but the guy who played Jeremy (elanas bro in vampire diaries) would make a perfect Chaol

[@lost_in_the_forrest]

"IT'S STAR WARS!" -says Tasha in a cry of outrage I related so hard to that comment. You tell him Tasha!

[@kcnicole5964]

I love your dress Natasha :D Those colors are beautiful on you! You all look great!

[@chrisifray]

I'm so happy I'm not the only one casting Nick Robinson as Julian!

[@jaywithwhiskey]

OMG. I know I'm late to your channel but YAY FOR THIS VIDEO. I literally fancast EVERY BOOK TO THE T!

[@savavee]

Oh my god, this video has me LIVING!! 😂❤️ Also, that dress is absolutely stunning on you, Tasha!

[@kyleebrubaker2960]

These are my fan casts Rhysand-Colin Morgan Feyre-Emma Roberts Tamlin-Bradley James (I like Merlin) Winter-Zendaya Cinder-Anna Kendrick (idk it was because of Into the Woods) Kai-Booboo Stewart Jessamine-Ana Mulvoy Ten Tessa-Jenna Coleman Will-Sam Claflin Baz-Dan Howell (I know sue me) Simon-Thomas Brodie Sangster

[@westnelson9865]

Jesse's facial expressions throughout this whole video is a vibe and a half

[@valenciahidalg0]

I related so much to Jesse because I'm really bad at remembering actor's names. But I don't know names because I watch a lot of movies and shows which is the opposite of Jesse.... I don't normally cast actors as characters unless they're making an adaptation of the book but I loved some of the choices you all made! Like Lily James or Ashley Benson as Jessamine and Troye Sivan as Simon.

[@ErikaBDoesBookTube]

Tasha that dress is EVERYTHING!

[@timberebersole356]

YES to Eleanor Tomlinson! She's the best! AND YES TO POLDARK !! Have you read the books? There are 12... I love them all! SO so good.

[@LindseyfromBFCG]

Love that Kat watches Kdramas! I knew exactly who she was talking about! Honestly that was the only one I knew by name without a picture. 😄

[@nataliehollifield6953]

I agree with Adrian actor who’s name I have forgotten also him as Maxon from the selection

[@mollyterrell881]

I love Christine but Nina Dobrev as Tessa is like my least favorite thing ever

[@adelina5741]

Molly Brad oh God no😭 don't even want to think about it

[@austinm2293]

Molly Brad honestly I love it 😂

[@mairinkenny6638]

NO! I love Nina as Tessa

[@JamesLawner]

I totally relate to Natasha in fancasting actors for characters in books, because I have a hard time imagining how a character should look, and when I do so, it ends up looking really weird in my mind to the point that I can't even find the right actor for a fancast photoset 😤😖😭

[@kyladominique3795]

BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHO CHRISTINE'S FANCAST FOR DORIAN IS #CELORIANFOREVER

[@maiasitter677]

Christine, I agree with your pick for Tessa. She just looks so much like everything that I picture Tessa looking like. ❤ If they every do touch TID (even though I'm kind of hoping that they don't), Inwould NOT be disappointed at all if they picked her to play Tessa. 😊

[@fancycrazyfangirl2737]

' I just want him in everything cause he's beautiful'!! Kat!!!!! 😂😂😂😍😍😍😍😍

[@LOTRLEGOLASFAN88]

FINALLY. The collabs!!

[@TheFairestFangirl]

You guys are so much fun! I loved this!!!! The only one that stands out to me that I don't agree with is Holland for Scarlet. I mean she'd do well but she's supposed to be thicker. I did a self insert for her, but I also chose Shannon Purser. She is in Stranger Things and Riverdale, and she's in that new movie Wish Upon. Her hair just needs to be longer. Lol. But Natasha's cast for Cinder was perfect though I loved Kat's too. 💙

[@TheFairestFangirl]

Actually I lied... Arden is my fan cast for Elise in The Selection. Since they made a point of saying Cinder is tan I cast Chloe Bennet. Lol. And Holland is my cast for America Singer.

[@hannahgoose9843]

This shows how much of the story really goes on and is generated in the reader's imagination

[@lucius823]

I feel ya, Kat. Ian Sommerholder is beautiful and I want him in literally everything. 😃

[@k-readsbooks5087]

absolutely loved this!! would love to see a part two!

[@TheVintageRana]

YAS THE POLDARK REFERENCE, I LOVE POLDARK ❤️❤️❤️Eleanor Tomlinson is stunning 😍

[@rachelholliday4272]

Melissa Benoist as Feyre and Colton Haynes as Chaol omg

[@emotionalkryptonite1161]

You four look like the parents who sit at the picnic table and gossip the whole time during a kids birthday party, but in a good way

[@minwa161]

Loved this video! Omg Natasha I agree with like 90% of your choices & I have a thing for Superman too!😂❤️

[@caitling.6807]

yes taron in everything i agree with kat, also im surprised you guys didn't mention shannon purser as eleanor during the rainbow rowell part since she's like everyone's fancast for her

[@isobeleugene6273]

Poldark. Yaaaaaaasss!!! Tasha yasss!!!

[@ComfortablyPlump]

I'm so happy to hear that you watch Poldark. That made my day.

[@addipresley7724]

This video made my day THANK YOU NATASHA

[@bellagonzales867]

we need more of these videos honestly so much fun

[@maddief.4763]

For Rhysand I really like Andrew Lees with darker hair, aka Lucien from The Originals because I feel like he could accomplish Rhys' personality really well. For Feyre I think Alycia Debnam-Carey would fit (Lexa from The 100/Alicia from Fear the Walking Dead)

[@xpinkwombat]

so entertaining! natasha I totally agree with your rhys!!!

[@drewwilliamson6970]

Please do another! This was so fun!

[@nisagarcia9274]

Yaaaaas to that Kdrama actress! These videos are always fun to watch.

[@timaa.4379]

I’ve always imagined Chaol as Theo James idk why

[@jasminvalerie]

For Tessa from TID, I always pictured Ashley Leggett from Life With Derek. As Celaena, I pictured Angelique Boyer, (Spanish actress who I came across one day when reading TOG and watching a Novela. Look up her picture with blonde hair. She is fierce). And I'm with Natasha on casting older actors, because I casted Richard Armitage as Rhysand haha! It got more ingrained into my mind when I saw that art print from Charlie Bowater, and it looked so much like him I freaked out 😂😍

[@tashapolis]

BookBallads I love Richard Armitage so much ever since I saw him in that historical period mini series. SO GOOD!

[@jasminvalerie]

Tashapolis yes I love him in that!

[@chvp4605]

I love these kind of videos you makeee,they're so funnnn!!💕🙌🏻
