I’ll be your alibi.

That is very, very tempting.

It’s a church that’s pulling this shit. They play it so loud I can hear the damned lyrics over my music. When I have my music turned up loud enough to make my little speaker buzz. I’m about to put my headphones – which are dying, and have an annoying buzz in the right speaker, themselves – on, in an attempt to not have to hear them.

Your reply reminded me I have a heating pad I can put over my knee, at least as long as the cat doesn’t decide the ties on the cover are toys and use not-so-soft paws trying to get them. Though she’s being good about jumping away when I flinch from even the slightest prick of claw.

well said, though I do feel a tad sad that you’re excluding the MCU’s villains from poc casting. growing up I always felt the villains were the best part of any superhero story.

Not all the villains are going to be white – I’m specifically keeping Red Skull and Zola white, and male, for that matter, because with their context, I don’t have any desire to attempt to recast them in any manner beyond potentially changing the actors, and even then, I’m not sure.

Meanwhile, the current recast for Obidiah Stane is Jamie Foxx, as you can see here in this post, Don Cheadle as Ross in The Incredible Hulk (because I didn’t want to lose him, and after we recast Betty, I had a horrible, wonderful thought, and @elegantmess-southernbelle agreed it would work), Benedict Wong as Ivan Vanko (at the moment, he may be recast if we find a more suitable actor – of Mongolian descent, or of one of the various ethnic groups of Siberia), and Will Smith as Loki.

Further recasting will happen as we get to later movies – and there may be one further villain who is white, but that depends on if I find a role I want a very particular actor in.

A thought for further alternate casting, since there’ve been several for various characters, and once I’m done with this full set, I will probably do some sets of other alternate casting for individual characters.

I have been trying to find Native American/First Nations actors/actresses for some of the roles, though at the moment, there’s only two. One of whom is cast for a genderbent Sam Wilson/Falcon, and a large part of that is because of the lack of representation.

And if you have any suggestions for actors or actresses, we still have roles to cast, and recasting anyone not already in a posted set is a matter of shuffling names on a list.

I’m tripling-down on the above casting suggestions for Peggy Carter and want to throw amandla stenberg in the ring for Darcy Lewis if you haven’t gotten to her yet.

Currently, Freema Agyeman is the cast for Peggy Carter, Taraji P Henson has been penciled in as Jane Foster, and Gabourey Sidebe is the casting for Darcy Lewis.

Amandla Stenberg is fairly young and looks it, so I’d want to cast her in a younger role… maybe as Jemma Simmons? Since Agents of SHIELD is also on the list of things to racebend, after getting through the movies.

Edit: @elegantmess-southernbelle suggests her as Skye/Daisy instead, so I think we may go with that.

I’m sorry you had to deal with that *offers hugs* your work was awesome and only deserves praise

Thank you. Honesty, I think my biggest surprise is that I didn’t have to deal with it sooner, or more than just one person being an angry twit.

Also, color me unsurprised that person is ignoring my collaborator’s comments entirely, even though I reblogged her response to that person, and she responded directly to that person. Annoyed, but unsurprised.
