My main wish for Queen of the Damned is that the people who hate the show find something else wonderful to enrich their lives & and that wretched excuse for a journalist gets blacklisted. It wonβt happen so letβs just not engage at all with their content. Ever
i want there to be a shorter hiatus in between seasons. not because i want more show faster, but because i think too much time gives some of you legitimate head canon psychosis. like is some of this really a failure of adaptation or is it something you and your friends made up
Always really funny when zoomers describe millennial culture and you realize they're describing a Youtuber they grew up on called 'IttssTyler!!!', and you can't really do anything about it
palestinian voices are actively being suppressed, their stories are being erased. mekare and maharetβs story of resistance and courage needs to be given the time, dignity and care that it deserves, and not just become flattened into a footnote in the show
"do i need to watch tvl before qotd because i can't sit through it" yes, but better yet, why don't you just not watch either of those instead of complaining all the time and most importantly making me see it π₯°
as an indigenous person, we really need the twins to be palestinian. itβs SO critical to their story. most of the time indigenous people arenβt portrayed well in media. this could also be huge, esp with the state of the world and how indigenous people are being treated all over.
Even in QOTD, we donβt learn Maharetβs story, the real story of Akashaβs reign, until more than halfway through the book, and itβs only then that we learn she was a tyrant and monster before she was ever a vampire. You donβt have to let the tale seduce you, but let it be a tale!
As a reminder, the first story weβre told about Akasha in TVL is that she was such a wise and compassionate ruler that her subjects saw her as the personification of the Good Mother. The first myth is that Enkil bravely confronted a demon rather than being attacked in vengeance.
I get feeling like you canβt trust some fans to incorporate new info after their first impressions, but we still need to give the show license to construct a facade for Akasha prior to dismantling it. What you know about the endpoint canβt prevent the narrative from playing out.
Akasha rallying support for her fascist, self-serving movement through a progressive cause is a really good opportunity to mirror how some people in insular online communities use activism to exercise power/control over their peers through moral authority. For examp-(GUNSHOT)
