they claim to want a more “book accurate” rhaenyra then fancast a thin actress. you don’t want book rhaenyra you want a cishet rhaenyra with certain features that emma doesn’t have. it’s not about book accuracy it’s 100% just projecting and hating emma
And they’re finally getting comfortable again saying the quiet bit out loud LOL

and emma is the best targaryen casting there’s ever been like they embody the unique beauty the valyrians are said to have but they’re not cis and have poisoning opinions on rhaenyra’s character so they’re replaced in au gifsets with a more “fitting” actress

unrelated but also not, the second actress also stars in a show adaptation of jkr's new (extremely transphobic) books 😐

@alicentwife
replacing a trans actor with one who works with jkr on a show that’s loud and proud of her ideologies is really nuts actually

There's something about fancasting an already casted character...is so weird and disrespectful.
