Casting meme

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

I feel a cold threatening my brain so I shall post this meme before it gets completely eaten.

Sometimes when you're playing in a cross-fandom setting, you start to realise that certain characters have taken on the role someone else has in canon. The point of this meme is to take a look at the canon cast list and see who in FH could be cast as the character.

For example:
- Kawalsky is Cameron's Teal'c at FH. He's the person Cameron looks up at and wants to learn from.
- Aly would be Zuko's Uncle Iroh as she's the only person who can actually talk sense into him.

So in other words? Recast your canon using FH characters and feel free to explain us why!

Deadpool is definitely Hurley's Sawyer. The banter, the strange negotiation of power dynamics... it's there.

I think Ichigo is, to a very limited extent (as, you know, he hasn't dated Francine and made her strip naked in a park then crash her car into a tree), taking on a little bit of the Freddie Femur role as Katchoo's antagonist. Possibly Murdock is taking on some of that (oh so vaunted really) mantle as well. But really, very limited extent. Be glad -- it means she won't threaten to castrate you with a jigsaw. ;)

Ronan and Cal are in some ways a little bit of a platonic version of David Qin for Chewie -- even though they're guys, she actually tolerates their presence, even kind of likes them around.

- Rukia --> Ino: They have the same way of treating each other. They constantly bicker, argue and fight while he probably does consider her a friend.
- Chad --> Chad: Duh!
- Orihime --> Angela: Minus the breasts. Well, they have a very different personality, but Ichigo seems to gentle himself a little around her just like he seems to do with Orihime. (Except when he's shirtless and annoyed.)
- Renji --> Katchoo: He hates her almost as much. Or really the other way around, he learned to work with Renji, but he still wants to kill the guy half of the time.

Okay, so the obvious thing is to say Dojima is Juliet.

But if Dojima were Juliet, I'm pretty sure her reaction to finding Cute Montague From Party mooning around her pool would be closer to "awesome, get your ass up to my room before someone spots you" than to "I like kissing you, let's get married." But I do think one of the things that works for Romeo, in either relationship, is they're both sort of levelheaded women (in very different ways) who can bring him back to earth when he's flying off in a thousand different directions. And of course there's a degree of comfort with Dojima he never got the chance to develop with Juliet, so in some ways it's a deeper love.

Beyond that? Reno is Mercutio, Brooke is Rosaline (though he was slightly saner about Brooke), and, oddly, I think if he had a problem that he would have needed Friar Laurence for at home, in Fandom he would go to Anakin.

Ichigo would like to note that he's not planning on dating anyone, thank you very much.

I do love it. I would feel so OOC if Ichigo didn't have someone around he wants to strangle.

Friar Anakin has a ring to it? *hides from Anakin*

*loves this casting*

I have trouble with drawing a distinct line between Kerrigan and Aly in relation to Hughes and Hawkeye. They both have certain aspects of these characters. The most obvious being they job with Aly as the spy (Hughes) and Kerrigan the soldier (Hawkeye). They both have a similar kind of influence in his life too, both backing him up no matter what and both being the people he would trust with his eyes closed. But then as I look at how Kerrigan left, she'd definitely be Hughes as she's another loss in his life. Aly would be Hawkeye as she stays with him.

Now staff wise... I think Dale is a cross between Breda and Falman who both are very, very smart and who Roy trusts just as much as he does Dale. (And he doesn't steal their girlfriends.)

Not sure yet who Ray would be. Maybe Havoc?

Fraser might be Armstrong, just in the me being lazy category as he's someone not directly under his command who he can work very well with.

Chuck --> Kaylee. Obviously. Even if FH!Ned still misses Chuck (NOT BASS), Kaylee has definitely become the one who makes him all googly faced.

Emerson --> Turtle. It works, trust me. Turtle is nowhere NEAR as thorny as Emerson and doesn't blackmail him (SOMEWHAT) into helping her out but he does do things to her and she, in turn, helps him out when she can. And it's kind of one of those friendships that you don't think would happen.

Digby --> Digby. That one's easy. *g*

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

Kara --> Adah. Right down to the making fun of each other, calling each other names and the lack of control in public places.

Kara --> Toby! Uh, it's weird because Adah's more of Lee's Kara in the romantic sense but Toby's totally Kara in the BFF, fool around and be dorks sense.

Daddy Adama --> Kerrigan. EVEN BEFORE SHE WENT ALL EVIL.

Galactica!Sharon --> River. Mmm, love/hate.

[intraspective]

Ino: ...probably does consider me a friend? I'm so dumping more water on you next time, just for that.

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Victoria --> Robin. Except Robin's not insane. IT'S THE ONLY GOOD COMPARISON I HAVE.

RayV --> Deadpool, definitely. It's the banter and the UST and all that jazz.

RayK --> RayK. Lookit that!

Thatcher --> Maybe Roy here. Roy's not his superior but they definitely do work together very well.

Frannie --> Parker. Well, I think so, at least. *g*

. . . oh thanks, now I'm imagining Fraser ripping his shirt off at random and being all glittery and o.O.

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Katchoo just wouldn't be Katchoo without someone around she can go all giant-font, boldface ALL OUT SCREAMING at sometimes. (I always visualize her scenes as comic panels. I can't help it.)

Forgot to mention, Rikku's her Casey Bullocks Femur at the moment, just in terms of being that bouncy, perpetually cheerful blonde ditz who drives her crazy but, deep down, she actually kinda likes.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

...Are you saying Chuck Bass doesn't make you googly faced?

I'M HURT BY THAT.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Abigail --> Angela. Mmm, platonic but UST laden flirty tiems. Even if the movie didn't do that relationship THAT much justice.

Blade --> Deadpool. Ah, it's the role model he never knew he wanted.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

...That is possibly the best mental image ever, though.

Pink sparklies, ftw.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Let's see...

Blair --> Blair, obviously. As if she can be replaced.

Nate --> TBA. I have no idea yet. Romeo and Hannibal are too cool to be the Nate.

Serena --> Brooke or Robin. BADASS SERENA. Not "waaaaaaaaah, Dan come over here and judge me!" Serena. I'm talking the Serena Chuck probably would have hung out with before she ran away.

Jenny --> Amber. For obvious reasons.

Dan --> Aside from Nemesis Dan? Edward Cullen. You judgey, judgey vampire.

Vanessa --> Reserved for people Chuck has talked to and doesn't like *eyes Dean*

Papa Bass --> Oh Chuck so needs a father figure here. Preferably one without the scary Papa Bass crazy eyes (DUDE. HE LOOKS JUST LIKE THE YED FROM SPN)

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

Clark --> John. 'Cause he's a dork who makes Lois facepalm a lot.

Chloe --> Jaina. EXCEPT HER POWERS ARE WAY COOLER THAN CHLOE'S.

Ollie --> Hannibal. Just for the hotness factor.

Jimmy --> Ned. OMG I'M SORRY. I thought "flaily dork" and that's what I came up with.

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Pink sparklies and the Mountie hat.

"And now, the famous technique passed down through the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for generations . . . !"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Fraser --> Modern!Cable. The odd mix of BFF and UST buddy!

Robin/Aly --> Sandi. Oh, Sandi. She was his secretary for a little bit when he had an actual business and was like the lil' sister he never knew he'd ever want.

Arashi --> Theresa Cassidy. The women he loved and wanted to be better for, but just couldn't. But he's still all adoring of her.

He doesn't really HAVE a canon counterpart for the kids he's decided to adopt like he's Angelina Jolie.

Uh...

Roy --> Ajax. Hate hate haaaates with the passion of a thousand suns. Ajax was the one who triggered Deadpool's healing factor finally by literally ripping his heart out. FUN TIMES.

Rosette --> Death. My OTP there. Deadpool/Death. So he starting being able to see the personification of Death in the Marvel Universe and they kinda fell in love. And when he was juuust about to die and be with her... *points up*

[intraspective]

Temari = Temari. That one was easy!

Hinata = Hinata. Again, easy. Though this one was also covered by Lana.

Chouji = Liir. He's there, he's comfortable, she'll rage at him and boss him around, and at the end of the day worry about him if something's wrong.

Inoichi = Cable. She knows Cable's not her Dad, but he's a lot more like a dad than a teacher to her.

Asuma = Deadpool and Anakin. No, really. I'm serious here. She listens to them in different ways, and tries to apply that to what she's already got in her head.

Naruto = Ichigo, if she actually bothered to get to know Naruto in canon better, I suspect it'd be as short-tempered as this is.

Shikamaru = Totally Cal. He's got the deadpan and the sarcasm and they 'hey, we're friends even though we stomp on each other's buttons all the time'.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

WELL. CHUCK HASN'T ROMANCED HIM AT ALL. NO GOOGLY FACES FOR YOU.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, Ned accepts being the flaily dork. He knows he's totally a better dork than Jimmy.

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

UST? WHAT UST? THERE IS NO UST.

Oh wait, there it is.

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Fraser says that will never ever happen. I told him to shut up and don't push his luck.
