why Kate Nash is the only Lily Evans for me ♥

[inferiarecoming]

Okay, well everybody and their grandmother seems to be posting their dream casts for the marauders and Lily and so far I've loved what everyone has suggested.

Except for Lily.

Now, don't get me wrong: the idea of Karen Gillan/Alison Sudol/various redheaded models are lovely, but they never really seem to capture the Lily in my head. So here is a completely random post about how I love Kate Nash and why she's always kinda been 'my Lily.'

(shitty picture is shitty, apologies)
(also, photoshopped green eyes FTW)
 

• I've always seen Lily as more of a curvy girl; I've noticed a lot of people tend to associate her with stick thin models
• The freckles! I see Lily as very freckly, so Kate Nash =  perfection
• Lily was described in the books (by Slughorn) as being cheeky. Kate Nash just embodies that type of personality for me.
• She (Kate Nash) is very expressive, so it's always easy to find photos of her to use as a reference/make icons.

Er. I'm sure I had other reasons, but those are the ones that spring to mind. So yes. Expect Kate Nash spam later on in the week. And perhaps a post lamenting the fact that all the 'perfect' James' DON'T WEAR GLASSES!

EDIT: why Darren Criss is the pefect James Potter for me ♥
