i'm going to be ten toes down for justice smith as harris drover cause i know plenty of people in the heated rivalry fandom are going to take the opportunity to be incredibly racist and hateful to this man for no reason.
does it sucks that we didn't get a chubby harris? yes...but honestly i never once believed that they were going to cast a chubby harris. (a lot of the white fancasts for harris circling around didn't match the book description either, but people were much more willing to brush that aside).
at the end of the day, the industry is incredibly fatphobic. they hate mid-sized/plus-sized characters, and they almost always take the opportunity during adaptation to make them skinnier. (nina zenik in shadow and bone i'm looking at you.) it's disappointing, but not surprising.
but i love justice smith and i'm so overwhelmingly excited to see what he does with the role.
