In topic: "Homestuck Animated Pilot Containment Thread"
Excited by all the cool changes lately! I really hope this and project soundpage both take off, this is the project that got me excited enough to post something on the forums.
I know I'm getting ahead of myself and I'm not normally really a fan cast guy, but I was talking with some friends about potential castings for Vriska and it occurred to me Sena Bryer would be almost perfect for the role, with the big caveat of whether she wants it in the first place.
I got so excited about the idea I decided to come here and post about it just to get it out of my head! My logic is basically that Sena Bryer is:
1) An accomplished voice actress who's got an extremely high profile role as Wuk Lamat in hit mmorpg final fantasy 14 dawntrail, free to play up to level 80 and the shadowbringers expansion-- or however the meme goes.
Wuk Lamat is basically the deuteragonist of the latest expansion and her arc is very yuri, which is good background for Vriska I think. FF14 is really popular and it'd be cool to get fandom overlap from it too, maybe moreso for me personally since I'm a longtime player of the game.
2) A trans woman, which, I just hope the role goes to a trans woman in general so this helps in my book.
3) A proud Homestuck, to the point that she voiced Zebede in Friendsim 2, which is already FRAF adjacent.
4) Puerto Rican, which helps with the diversity element of the cast somewhat.
I just think it'd be cool. Honestly way early to be thinking this far ahead, I admit, but its fun so why not.
'"I thought this was a love story," you say.
Your Lola's insistence has remained with you since the beginning, and you say these words in a quiet manner, with a shrug, as if to let these performers know it is fine, it does not matter that much, this thought—that maybe the definition of what a love story is could be stretched to include all that has up till now taken place. You say it like an apology. Like it is a thing to be apologized for.
A runaway child, charging through the porcelain shelves:
I thought this was a love story. I had hoped this was a love story.
You say it with shame, embarrassed at having said it, wishing you could take it back.
You say it, worried that you have betrayed some secret part of yourself that does not wish to be exposed—
an old gremlin in you, sick and yearning. You say it with hope.
Timid, and without conviction.
The hope of someone who knows they are about to wake from a dream to a reality they do not understand. The pub awaits, as does your empty bed.
I thought this was a love story.
You regret having said it; as if you know it will lessen the quality of the tale. Rob it of its smoke and shadow. But still, you say it.
And this moonlit body smiles. And from the wings the patting of the drums slowly builds, and the curtains behind the dancers rise. Because you are right, this moonlit body tells you;
This is indeed a love story. Down to the blade-dented bone.'
