So, I've been doing some research for you guys and chapter 30 will be the Christmas episode you guys have been waiting for, I thought I'd share some of the reference videos that I used to cast this fantastic series. That way you guys can meet the characters and see what they look and sound like.
For Thomas Jackson himself, I was inspired by Love Simon, of course.
Keiynan Lonsdale's speech to live your dreams and kiss the one that you love stood out to me the most.
Since Thomas is also a famous singer/rapper, I'm sure you might be wondering what it would sound like to hear him sing...
And even dance
The next person I cast was Vernon, from the kpop group seventeen. Now I do love Seventeen's music but if you made it this far, y'all know this ain't no fan fiction or even fan service.
I picked Vernon because his looks, personality, and attitude on stage really matched Matthias. As well as his Korean/American roots which made him even more perfect since Matty is Korean mixed with...well a lot.
What he looks Like
What he sings like....
And what he sounds like
And last but not least, we have Luca
I saw Froy Gutierrez' picture one day and knew I had to cast him as something but waited until I had the perfect character to do so.
So he's Mexican, not British but he's still so cute.
Here's what he sounds and acts like
And honestly, I could listen to Luca speaking Spanish for hours on end...
Like I don't know what he's saying but sure
Hope at least one of you enjoyed this little reference guide cause it took forever to make.
LET ME KNOW in the comments if they sound like what you imagined them to sound like?
If that makes sense?
