MONSTER HIGH FANCAST

so i usually overlook fancasts because most of the time, they're wildly inaccurate (not to mention, when it comes to black women they're usually colorist). but in light of the absolute travesty that is the monster high cast reveal, I figured i'd do my own fancast for the movie.

dara reneé as clawdeen wolf. do i really need to explain? the energy. the vibes. the hair. immaculate. dara's performance in hsmtmts tells me that she could kill it as the sapphic boss bitch herself.

malina weissman as draculaura. is it mainly because of the bangs? perhaps. but i feel like malina just has the energy to play draculaura. the lovelorn look in her eyes really sells it for me, too. although, i will admit that i'm not actually mad at the actual casting for her, either. i just think malina is an equally good fit.

ceci balagot as frankie stein. yes, he is the actual casting. but i'm in love with him, so i am biased. i also love the fandom wide headcanon that frankie is gender non conforming, which i feel like if they actually went down that road, would make ceci the perfect fit. either way, he kills it as frankie and is one of the only two casting choices i'm actually okay with.

yara shahidi as cleo de nile. okay okay, i know i may seem like a yara hate blog, but i am not. i actually love her, i just don't appreciate how the industry has used her image to participate in the erasure of dark skinned characters in fiction. but in this case, she would make the absolute perfect cleo and you cannot tell me otherwise. her diva-ish role as zoey in black-ish/grown-ish translates so well when you imagine her as cleo. plus, she's half middle eastern on her paternal side. while not exactly egyptian, i feel like that goes much farther than what they have now.

miah madden as lagoona blue. it's a personal headcanon of mine that lagoona is an aboriginal australian. yes, she's technically a fish. but don't you dare take this away from me. i feel like her character being played by an aboriginal woman would add so much depth to her storyline, given the fact that they had a movie where she essentially tried to change her race so that her boyfriend's racist family would accept her. like- you can't tell me miah wouldn't be perfect to execute that kind of storyline.

please note: not all of these gifs are mine. if you see a gif and believe it is yours, please contact me privately and let me know. the boys will be added shortly, as i can only add ten images her post. stupid tumblr.

Been working on this outfit for ages, super pleased with how it turned out!

Finally felt confident enough to fix the paint of some of my Monster High pets

Why not?
