── [𝗴𝗲𝗻] family casting

Hello hello! So I saw starryeyedturtle do this over on her spam, and I'm a little obsessed with the idea of breaking this down because I LOVE casting families - it's so so fun! So, I just had to give it a go myself!! (I'm actually just procrastinating writing)

I've messed around with some different family dynamics across my books but I love all of my families equally (she lies) and imagining how they'd come to life has always been really fun. Honestly the amount of just overly-studying actor's faces I've done in my time is a little absurd. but gotta do it for that family resemblance n all that. somebody hire me, I beg!

So without further ado, some insight into the process behind my beloved fictional families...

FAWN FAMILY ࿐

Burton Fawn (49) ─── played by Jason Isaacs
Lisle Fawn (48) ─── played by Virginia Kull
Parker Fawn (19) ─── played by Kaitlyn Dever
Paisley Fawn (17) ─── played by Sadie Stanley
Polly Fawn (14) ─── played by Isabella Sermon

Cannot emphasise enough how much I adore this family! They have a very complicated and troubled dynamic but the love they have for each other still, arghhh — they might honestly be my favourite (although the Callaghans are tough competition). The sister casting for this family I'm particularly proud of — after I casted Sadie as Paisley for some reason I just couldn't get the vision of Kaitlyn Dever as her sister out of my head. I think they work so well! And then Isabella as little Polly (my personal favourite Fawn) was something I loved as well. Casting parents is always a little more tricky, but I'm honestly very content with what I came out with. Lisle in particular I think resembles Paisley really well.

Also, for a fun little extra, Preston does have a face claim as well (even though we see him so little because *spoiler?* he's dead). BUT I do really envision him as Evan Roderick. I was rewatching Spinning Out recently and just went PRESTON! So here he is side by side with little flashback Paisley!
