thinking claudia would forgive lestat is massive cope… she would not fucking do that. but then again lestat fans just care about him being absolved at the expense of her lmao.
what’s a woke take of yours that other woke people might find too woke
Reminder that D4vd released an animated music video of him killing Celeste in the video two years before he killed her
I think one of the most exhausting things about the internet right now is how criticism has become so deeply tied to negativity. Everything has to be dragged. Everything has to be called trash. Everything has to be framed in the harshest, most dismissive way possible or people feel like they’re not being “honest.” Children of Blood and Bone is a fantasy adaptation. Not a Yoruba history textbook. Not a documentary. Not a dissertation on cultural purity. It’s F*CKING FANTASY! You can critique creative choices. Of course. But some of the discourse stops being critique and starts becoming this rush to tear things down, and punish anything that isn’t perfect even when it doesn’t say it is. A Black diasporic fantasy story being made at this scale is still a win. Representation, imagination, visibility, and world building that matters too!! Not every culturally inspired story has to function as literal cultural instruction to be valuable. And not every critique needs to become a public demand for alienation. This is huge for all of us. It’s not perfect but nothing in the world is. I’m excited to watch. Hope yall are too and tbh I’ve heard the accents and yall would hate it 😭 NGL sha 😂😂
