District 2. Mentor's and tributes: 10th Games Edition
Okay, so after a long reflection in how present my fan casts I choose that I will do a post in general about mentor's and tributes from D2 in the 10th Games. My fancasts of them ofc.
Before I start a tiny disclaimer because considering the ages of the mentor's (18) and tributes (18 and 16), I try to look some pictures where the actors looked or were younger but mostly we will have to use our imagination for the vision.
Damson Idris. For the case of the Marcus as usual my good friend @julietasgf help me with the suggestions bc are her visions I share đââïž
I would say this THE definitive Marcus for us. Fit most of his vibe (serious but expressive. we think his smile it's very him and idk could see him perfectly judging Sejanus so bad KDKDKF) and important data it's quite tall. Usually I don't mind the height but for Marcus case that's canonical the tallest tribute (and probably the tallest teen character in the Book tbh) I think it's a nice plus also Damson may be british but he CAN do an usaamerican accent! đ€
2. Chris Alosio. Still, despite Damson fitting most of our Marcus vision, when we discover Chris we go gasping bc it fit a lot the vibe (it's the I can visualize him refusing the fucking cake). We have used him as our Marcus too for canon and aus, he's also really tall which again is a nice plus đââïž Although he's kiwi and this relevant bc I must say that found pictures of him it was a bit of a struggle, we need make kiwi's production's popular now!!!
Extra data. Marcus dad worked at the quarry before die. His mom end post war working as nurse. He lived in same neighborhood than Sejanus, and we have a full plot over this specific region being the focus where will be built the Military Center of Capitol (what some rebels a century after called Nut) at hands of Strabo which would basically fuck the organization of the Town (which was already a Town that many people immigrate internally D2 under the hope of better opportunities at the quarries there or pre war worked in Capitol) and bring many forced changes in, along tensions between the communities that lived there. Closer to the limits with Capitol.
Stephanie Hsu. She always been Sabyn in my HEAD. Idk it get the vibe, the perfect energy for someone that will get exasperated at the dramas and will do an alliance with d1 tributes and she's usaamerican so for that accent it's all ok! đââïž
2. Leah Lewis. But similar to Marcus case, even with having an obvious favorite or predilect, I found another talented actress that's like totally her vibes in my head. In that role in specific I was like, that's SABYN core. Except for maybe the glasses but details, for the most part it fits also another case of an usaamerican actress for win.
Extra data. I always believe Sabyn lived very far from where Marcus and Sejanus are. Lived more in a village, closer to D1 limit's (used have extended family there), lives with her grandparents post war, her grandpa was a mason, her grandma sell food. This matters because she literal have no idea why Marcus had such beef with Sejanus and thinks he's insane for reject his help specially at consideration her mentor never appears for her.
People will say "why are 4?" May you believe this too much, you will be wrong. This FEW. Yeah basically I have this problem called "Sejanus Plinth my favorite character not only from tbosas but of the saga as a whole" what provoke the funny side effect of "my fan cast list it's too long. Too long." So 4 it's a reasonable number (2 British and 2 usaamericans funny enough).
Bilal Hasna 2. Xolo Maridueña 3. Aryan Simhadri 4. Alfred Enoch. And we move on bc if I talk, I'm never stopping.
Cooper Hoffman. I originally didn't intend to have a Florus bc he's notorious for his absence and it's relevant for my Sabyn plot that he's never there lmao but I add him to get the pairs complete, my choice come from I see him and thought, "this a guy that could be called Friend." No more elaboration, he's usaamerican btw.
