The Perfect fan cast for Alastair Carstairs

It was extremely difficult to find ethnic Persian men that had blond hair but not coloured eyes and pale skin. After searching for a few minutes I believe I found the perfect fan cast for Alastair.

Meet Hamid Fadaei

(Alastair's real hair is dark brown and he has beady eyes).

Reasons to watch The Dragon Prince

Made by one of the writers of Avatar: The Last Airbender, this show is a cross of Game of Thrones (not the S8 decay) - Lord of the Rings - Dungeons & Dragons - AT:LA. It is a wonderful and unique show with an ensemble setting and combines political, world-building, historical, mystical, and warfare aspects.

It tells a story of a magical world that is divided between the mystical creatures (led by elves and dragons) and humans due to the invention of dark magic. The animosity between the two factions rose and eventually the Dragon king was slayed and all war breaks loose. a rag-tag team of children finds out a conspiracy and tries to return the kidnapped dragon heir, the Dragon Prince, back to the mystical lands called Xadia, bit they need to face both humans and mystical creatures that are bent on destroying each other.

It is a good show and has large potential, but its only at its 2nd to 3rd season, with the potential of being cancelled because of Netflix’s strategy on cancelling shows early to initiate new shows to hook more views, before cancelling them again and starting the cycle of creative butchery (edit: as of right now, its not in a danger zone, but its not as secure as bigger shows like Stranger Things)

So here are the reasons to watch TDP. I’ve posted this in a reblog before but I’m putting this in a post for more exposure.

POC representation. The main human characters of this show are POC, Callum being of half-Asian heritage while Ezran being of Asian-African heritage. The universe is so diverse and it doesn’t hold back in integrating culture such as Asian, Arabic, etc to its lore. As a POC I really felt like this representation is necessary and TDP served it well. It’s good for a change to see someone like yourself on screen, and children around the world deserve that too.

Characters with accurately portrayed disabilities, yet they are still toe in toe with non-disabled characters. Amaya, a badass deaf Asian warrior aunt that uses ASL openly in the show is one of my most favorite characters. Disability in media has always been underrepresented and TDP presents it in a respectful manner.

Representation of female characters. This show has a lot of significant female characters and they are all diverse in roles. And all of them slay as well. From Rayla, assassin elf with a good heart, Sarai, wise warrior queen mom, Amaya, absolute badass, Claudia, a happy-go-lucky and kind dark mage, and Aanya, a child queen that is the Lyanna Mormont of this series that speaks her mind. Women are treated as equals in this show like it should be. I think that TDP’s representation of female characters could teach young children on gender equality from an early age, which is positive and much needed.

LGBTQ Representation. TDP has directly shown a wlw queen couple and hinted that a major character is bi. It might not be as blatant as Steven Universe or other shows in its later seasons, but I think that it has potential. Its creators are very open about their support of LGBTQ and willingness to include the community, and never backed away from thoroughly discussing it.

The ambiguity of morals and other complex topics. TDP shows that the protagonists are not top-notch perfect, they have flaws. Meanwhile the villains are dimensioned as well, heck sometimes I wonder if they are villains are not. Dark magic is treated bad in the start but soon layers appear because apparently it can be used for healing or saving people for the greater good. There’s more. The blunt concept of death and how children are faced with it, complicated parent-child relationships between stepson and stepfather or parental emotional abuse, political propaganda and racism, anxiety and panic attacks. it has it all. Plus the lore and story reference many historical events and as the story unfolds, everything becomes complicated. Who’s side is wrong after all? Are they both wrong? Were they both misunderstanding each other?

INTERESTING LORE AND WORLD BUILDING. DRAGONS, DRAGONS AND ELVES AND THEIR WONDERFUL BADASS DESIGNS. JUST LOOK AT THEM. Like AT:LA there are elements, and there are creatures or beings based on those elements. They have wonderful stylistic influences based on those elements, for instance: moon elves can turn invisible, sky dragons can breathe lightning, sun elves can go super saiyan magma mode. The world building and lore is impressive too, the creators have plotted out the history of the world and the events preceding the present, it is so well-thought out and intriguing.

INTENSE BATTLE SCENES. Love them all, they have great soundtrack accompanying it too. Epic fights like the volcano battle, full moon sword fight, or a mage vs a horde of soldiers.

MEMES. NARUTO RUNNING, THE MORDOR MEME, AARPODS

Lastly dedicated creators and creative team. @dragonprinceofficial is very active in Tumblr, engaging with fun Q&A and posting fun memes or posts. It's one of the best and communicative creative teams ever, and they listen and respond.

Give The Dragon Prince a thumbs up in Netflix, tell people who might be interested on world-building fantasy to watch this wonderful show. Save The Dragon Prince

Edit: The potential cancellation might be a misunderstanding, so for people worried so very much about it (like i was), right now we're not in a danger zone. But I still think it deserves more attention than it has, for a beautiful show with by dedicated content creators.

Light it up Danikaaa!!! I’m so in love with this friendship. Excuse me whilst I cry.

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.
