Okay, I know I'm the only one who has stumbled upon a cast of characters that seem totally opposite of what I imagine the original characters to be. Some authors write the story and add the cast later on- and it makes no sense.

Because while I'm thinking about a young, brunette female- the cast will later list the character as Taylor Swift.

And while I'm thinking of her boyfriend as a blonde, handsome young man- the cast will list that person as Zac Efron or something.

Example:

Aaron, the middle aged love interest is:

MORGAN FREEMAN!

I'm sorry, but a middle aged love interest? Couldn't you have picked Drake or Anthony Mackie- not the voice of God?

Another kind of cast that makes no sense is those that don't match the characters descriptions. This not only throws the reader off, but it (again) makes no bloody sense. How can I stress that enough? It makes no sense!

Example:

Hailey smiles into the mirror, brushing her light blonde hair tenderly. She applies lotion to her light, pale and delicate skin. Then, she blinks her blue eyes with a flirty smile at her reflection before turning to leave for the day. 

Cast: Rihanna as Hailey 

I'm sorry- what? 

Casts are a messy thing. I mean, I'm terrible at them, unless I'm writing a fan fiction and the casts were so lovingly sought out for me (until Chris Evans decided to leave the roll of Captain America then I just screamed at my freaking screen in denial gosh darn you, Chris Evans, you break our hearts) and I have no trouble making a list of cast members. 

I always envy those who can make perfect casts of random celebrities that all have chemistry. They are too good to be here on Wattpad. They make the rest of us look like fools. Fools, I tell you, FOOLS.

Tomorrow there will be no update because I'm murdering someone. That, or I'm going out of town, but I'd like to be cooler than that- so I'm defeating Hydra. Heck yeah- don't mess with Bucky. Or Natasha. And don't kill Steve gosh darn it Marvel and Chris Evans I swear you are breaking me. 

Until next time, I love guinea pigs.
