Stain by A.G. Howard (@aghowardwrites) is my favorite book in the entire world. Upon finishing it for the third time, my head attempted to create a fan cast. I am pretty terrible at these, especially nowadays when I don’t know too many younger actors, so this is probably the only time I’ll ever do this but here you are. I’d love to hear who else you think could portray these characters!

Lyra/Stain, princess of Eldoria: Mackenzie Foy

Vesper, prince of Nerezeth: Tanner Buchanan

Crony, harrower witch: Helena Bonham Carter

Luce, fallen sylph: Jamie Campbell Bower

Griselda, Lyra’s scheming aunt: Lana Parrilla

Avaricette, Lyra’s cousin: Maia Mitchell

Wrathalyne, Lyra’s cousin: Isabelle Fuhrman

Lustacia, Lyra’s cousin and Lyra impersonator: Kaitlin Dever

Cyprian, Vesper’s best friend: Ryan Potter

Selena, Vesper’s sister: Natalia Dyer

*I hit my picture limit but here are the other four characters I had in mind:

Madame Dyadia: Naomi Watts

Queen Nova, Vesper and Serena’s mother: Blake Lively (*I realize she’s young to play the mother, but she and Tanner and Natalia have very similar smiles)

King Kiran, Lyra’s father: Ben Barnes

Mistress Umbra/Mother Shroud, the leader of the shrouds in the Ashen Ravine: Cate Blanchett

Crony Capitalists Due To Corrupt Political Funding - IMPRI Impact and Policy Research Institute

TK Arun When banks start lending aggressively again, systemic forces would compel the creation of bad loans. IT might seem a stretch to argue that corporate governance and bank asset quality depend on cleaning up India’s political funding. But it is not. It is simply the cold, hard truth. And since that reform is yet to happen, all talk of a robust financial sector and SEBI’s incremental success…

Önemi Yok

Masmavi bu sonsuzluğun dibindeyim göremiyo’m önümü Yaşamak adına tutunduğum o sebeplerim getirir ölümü Nefesim daralıyor hiçbir şeyin önemi yok Gözümün önünde biriken güzel anılarım Ailem, dostlarım, çocukluk hatıralarım Kinim, intikamım hiçbirinin önemi yok Önemi yok Hiçbirinin Önemi yok Tanrıya kavuştum bak ellerim kir,pas Günahlar yapıştı artık üstüme çıkmaz Kaybolduğum sokaklar hiç yeni…

I love how that person who was like "oh ew a Zionist" also has reblogged posts about not being antisemitic and buying into antisemitic conspiracies while ALSO like.

Reblogging posts about how Israel is a uniquely evil "colonial scar" and how Israel is "murdering children" and like. Literally straight up antisemtic shit.

Leveling criticism at Israel that positions it as a unique evil among all other countries and doing literal blood libel (IE, Israel murders Palestiaian babies in a way no other nation kills children) is FUCKING ANTISEMITIC. Israel is JUST A COUNTRY. It is JUST another nation, doing the shitty stuff that other nations do. And if you find yourself railing against Israel EXTRA hard right now, or ever, in ways that you do NOT rail against other shitty countries that do shitty things (and, I can't believe I have to say this, if you find yourself saying that the kidnap, rape, torture, and murder of any civilian ever is justified because "uwu this radical extremist group is freedom fighters"!) then you're a fucking antisemitic, racist bigot.

Like. It blows me away how so many people don't seem to see that Israel, the Jewish state (whether you agree with how it is run or not, whether you agree with how it came to be or not) gets SO MUCH MORE SHIT than other comparable shitty countries... Come on.

Because the alternative is that you DO see it. That you DO agree with all of those things that are STEEPED in age-old antisemitic conspiracy. And you agree.

#antisemitism #i/p #like #idk how to get it through to people #ESPECIALLY my fellow fucking AMERICANS #that Israel is... Just another shitty country #y'all are nowhere NEAR this loud about other shit going on #and there IS other shit going on #constantly #but i don't see you going after other nations saying they shouldn't exist #i don't see you saying China and everyone in it should be destroyed #fuck #I watched all of you say that we can't blame individual Russian citizens for what Putin and his fucking cronies do #but the SECOND Israel pulls some bullshit #you demand every jew in the world bow down and slurp on your cocks #people gor MURDERED in broad daylight on FUCKING VIDEO that the killers POSTED THEMSELVES #and you denied it happened #and then said well if it did happen they deserve it like #you could not be more obvious in your hatred for my people

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday walked back a planned vote to subpoena two megadonors connected to Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The reason? Republicans threw a fit.

Democrats on the Judiciary Committee finally took the first step last week to address the high court’s ethics crisis and announced they would seek to subpoena Republican billionaire megadonor Harlan Crow and ultraconservative activist Leonard Leo. Both men feature prominently in the ethics scandal for their relationships with Thomas and Alito. The committee said it would also seek to subpoena wealthy GOP donor Robin Arkley II.

But Chair Dick Durbin appeared to put that all on hold on Thursday, when he abruptly ended a committee meeting after outraged Republicans threatened to retaliate if Crow and Leo were subpoenaed.
