ASOIAF fancasting –> House Targaryen: Georgia Hirst as Valaena Velaryon

“He was the only son, and second child, of Aerion, Lord of Dragonstone, and Lady Valaena of House Velaryon, herself half Targaryen on her mother’s side.”

Naturally, this fancast evokes a lot about Visenya, who was Valaena’s eldest daughter. I am in love with the theory that Valaena, being half-Targaryen herself, was the original rider of Vhagar . . . even if that requires her to be dead by the time of the Conquest.

Random fancasting --> Children of Elaena Targaryen: Dan Stevens as Jon Waters // Saoirse Ronan as Jeyne Waters

“Following in Daena’s footsteps, she bore the bastard twins Jon and Jeyne Waters to Alyn Velaryon, Lord Oakenfist.”

With Valyrian blood on both sides, these twins were probably as beautiful as true Targaryens.

Random fancasting --> Children of Elaena Targaryen: Josh Whitehouse as Robin Penrose // Tabrett Bethell as Laena Penrose // Dakota Fanning as Jocelyn Penrose // Rachel Hurd-Wood as Joy Penrose

“She married thrice in later years, twice at a king's behest and once for passion. She gave birth to seven children, then declared that if seven was sufficient for the gods it would do for her as well.”

These four children of a Targaryen princess aren’t mentioned individually or given personality traits at all, but it’s fun to think about what they might be like. Robin, as the only boy and heir, would be conscious of his duties and responsibilities - but I also think he’s popular amongst the girls, with a Targaryen look to his features, and an innate love for music. Laena, the eldest of the girls, inherited the true Targaryen look from her mother, but is as wild as her aunt Daena. Jocelyn is the one who’s always being compared to her beautiful and outgoing older sister, whilst she herself is considered plainer and prefers books to company. Joy, the youngest, is the darling of the Penrose clan and possesses her mother’s intelligence along with refined Penrose features that are considered very attractive - she’s the “little princess” of her mother’s brood.

Random fancasting --> People of the Crownlands: Jamie Chung as Jonquil Darke

“The slender mystery knight known only as the Serpent in Scarlet also had a great following; when finally defeated and unmasked, ‘he’ proved to be a woman, Jonquil Darke, a bastard daughter of the Lord of Duskendale.”

As has been stated in the series, girls get the coats of arms whilst bastards get the swords... so what do bastard girls get? The notorious Scarlet Serpent with an unknown mother defies the norms.

ASOIAF fancasting --> Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Osmund Kettleblack

“Alas, Tyrion could not say the same for Cersei’s second choice. Ser Osmund Kettleblack looked formidable enough. He stood six feet and six inches, most of it sinew and muscle, and his hook nose, bushy eyebrows, and spade-shaped brown beard gave his face a fierce aspect, so long as he did not smile. Lowborn, no more than a hedge knight, Kettleblack was utterly dependent on Cersei for his advancement, which was doubtless why she’d picked him. ‘Ser Osmund is as loyal as he is brave,’ she’d told Joffrey when she put forward his name. It was true, unfortunately. The good Ser Osmund had been selling her secrets to Bronn since the day she’d hired him, but Tyrion could scarcely tell her that.”

Wild and scraggly as any hedge knight, this actor definitely has the dangerous look of a sellsword Kettleblack.

ASOIAF fancasting --> House Targaryen: Wilf Scolding as Viserys Plumm

“Later, scurrilous rumors came to suggest that Lord Plumm, in fact, died at the sight of his new bride in her nakedness, and that the child she conceived that night was by her cousin Aegon - he who later became King Aegon the Unworthy.”

While definitely being of the blood of the dragon, I imagine Viserys Plumm to be a shy, plain-faced child, as awkward as his mother was in her youth.

Random fancasting --> The Kingsguard: Kevin J. Wilson as Corlys Velaryon

“Ser Corlys Velaryon, Lord Commander. History has confirmed that Visenya Targaryen chose well.”

Another younger son who distinguished himself, leaving a legacy equal to that of the Lord of the Tides.
