Amen calling Livius a spoiled out-of-touch rich kid was sooo funny like didn't he grow up in a palace? Pot meet kettle.

Remmao was FINE! OH MY GOSH AJDHDKEJ

I can see why him and Ram were fighting over who was more beautiful.

Whew!!!!!! Sorry y'all I'll stop

Don't bother Eva, she's just walking

[ratanslily]

If Amen's card is not this, then what's the need?

If KFS had been more successful after Stacy took the lead, Remy would have taken more credit for her "overseeing." Her comment about the story's less-than-enthusiastic reaction is nothing short of unprofessional and threw Stacy under the bus. I'm not saying Stacy is blameless, but wow, Remy continues to surprise me with her audacity.

One of the main criticisms of Season 2 is that the characters no longer feel like themselves. These aren't Stacy's characters, but Remy's. She should be guiding and helping Stacy understand and write them better since she's overseeing the story. It's incredibly difficult to imagine characters' reactions that are not your own.

Also, even if Remy had continued to write KFS, yes, the characters would read like themselves, but the story still wouldn't be good. Look at SCN, with all its plot holes and favoritism toward certain characters. I highly doubt we wouldn't still be complaining. My heart goes out to the Livius and Rame romancers—the strongest soldiers.

I hope Stacy one day gets to write her own story with her own characters to showcase what she's truly capable of.

Some rantings about whitewashing…

I love RC, but there are just some things I need to get off my chest. 😤

1. The ones that bother me the most are Amen and Set.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m romancing Set and it’s enjoyable. But, WHY are they white? Shouldn’t an Egyptian god look more… Egyptian? Imani in The One Vol. 2 was Egyptian and she looked Egyptian AND she was beautiful. Why do we need to make Egyptians look white?

Also, Amen and Set are both the sexy, dominant, masculine type. They both hold power over Eva. But the dark LI Ramesses is more… soft, somewhat effeminate, hides in the shadows. I’m not saying those are bad things. But when the strongest characters are white, it sure sends a certain message.

That’s one reason I’m so happy with Yasin. (Hmm, another Faye story. Thank you, Faye!)

2. Another thing with Song of the Crimson Nile…

When that warning about colorism popped up, but then it was about Livius… Um. What? Livius isn’t even dark skinned. I love Livius, but am I supposed to feel sorry for him? I’m glad he didn’t. When white people cry about racism, it’s just like… really? 🙄

3. Brown people are in the back. White people are in the front. The characters that actually look Egyptian and actually look Indian are side or background characters. But the main characters look white. Ratan, Amrit, pretty much everyone in Kali: Flame of Samsara.

4. Asian characters with blue eyes. THAT’S SO UNREALISTIC! Sure, there are some Asians with blue eyes in Mongolia. But MOST Asians have darker eyes, including those who are mixed. Audrey, Catherine Hill, Nikkal, Prince Philippe, Devi, Saraswati, Luna, Ben/Bianca, the Doobays… Are Asians with blue eyes more attractive than Asians with brown eyes? What’s the point in creating an Asian MC sprite if you’re gonna give her features that most Asians don’t have? Isn’t the whole point supposed to be representation?

5. The first time I saw Cassiel, I thought, “Is he… black?” I was confused because his skin looks so… faded. It’s not really black. It’s more olive. Same with Volot. They’re both still super sexy, but the olive-grayish filtered skin is strange. Why can’t they just look normal?

[a-consuming-passion]

Out of curiosity, is there any historical referent whatever for the "shirtless sleeves" look? Because boy, does it ever look dumb.

«I'll keep you safe, Eva...» 💕

Confession:

"I really hate the racist hysteria in the fandom caused by the POC characters in the Haze story (and the way RC caved in to their demands)

Nobody in the Russian racist fandom gave a damn when an entire Sumerian (which, yk, is in the Middle East, with, yk, Brown people) pantheon got whitewashed in the Tiamat book

Nobody opposed the fact that they used white people (Manu Rios and Timur Simakov) for character inspiration while designing both of the KCD Indian LIs (which is why neither Amrit nor Ratan look like actual Indian men)

Nobody had any issues with the entire population of Egypt in SOTCN being light-skinned and Eurocentric

Nobody asked where are all the Brown people in the Heaven's Secret series. Which is weird considering it's using the biblical lore and the Bible describes the events happening in the Middle East and North Africa. So wtf is everybody so damn white?

Make no mistake, these people don't care about accuracy or respecting cultures or whatever bullshit they're trying to sell us. They just want to make everyone as white as possible even it's against the lore of the story"
