I saw someone fancast Jennifer Lawrence as Sam Black Crow

Use goddamn context clues

So I finished Anansi Boys and—I kind of seriously really really really hated how Rosie’s storyline played out because ugh ugh ugh gross, consent issues, gross, ew, no—but other than that, it was pretty damn good.

I went in knowing that pretty much the entire cast is chromatic, so I was…

So glad to hear a great review of this book, all I’ve heard has been:

“Oh, once i realized everyone was black, I was taken out of the story and the book was ruined for me’”

or

“I know Fat Charlie & Spider are black, but I kept picturing *white comedy actor* and *white ‘hot’ actor* as them when I was reading”

/end rant

anyway, in response to your plea for help, click here for my Anansi Boys tag, it has a few actors in it :)

oh my goodness

your fancasts are literally perfect ;__________;

Why thank you *blushes* I do try

Okay, fandomweed is whose idea this actually was, but I can’t unsee it. I’m loving the idea of these two as Fat Charlie (Edwin) and Spider (Aldis).

Actual perfect casting. Too bad the producers would insist on making everybody white!

Pretty sure they already tried that. From the Anansi Boys Wikipedia article, a movie was being developed, but ‘moviemakers wanted to change the lead black characters to white or drop the magical elements altogether’, so NG turned them down, and it went into development hell.

Let’s hope he stands his ground until someone is willing to do it right.
