About e the Song of the Crimson Nile...

Author didn't disappoint.

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"

WAINTING FOR MY LI'S TO BE BACK IN NEW EPISODES

[bouquetstatue]

people comparing amen to vincent sends me off the rails.

vincent's whole goal is to use his power to make the world a better place, even if it's through darker methods (literally said in the rc wiki, word for word!).

amen is literally a cop in ancient egypt and his main motivation of hunting down dark magicians (besides to appease the pharaoh) is revenge for his parents.

and it's even dumber because his parents were dark magicians too! instead of hunting down a specific person, he takes up hunting down them all.

i have to say, it definitely shows the flaw in the legal system and the government but with remy being the author it does not go deeper into that.

also... it's something how in this fandom, people who are vile human beings are excused but a black man (who is morally gray at best) has to be used as the scapegoat when defending your white colonizer or a cruel abusive man... like I think that explains itself!

Amen: How do I make a date more romantic?

Titian: Try being mysterious.

[Later that evening]

Eva: Where are we going?

Amen: None of your fucking business.

The Sun and the Moon

[ratanslily]

Eva x curvy body type <3

[haitianempress]

Amen and Set fighting:

Evthys and Livius being concerned:

Agnia having the time of her life:

[suikared]

The song of the crimson Nile also have:

Agnia

Girlboss stereotype but actually likeable.

So right now as LI we have Amen, Ramesses, Agnia and Livius.

SPOILER!

The redhead from my previous review hadn't appeared again. But it seems like he's the bad news I was expecting. I don't wanna spoil the plot but Anubis claimed a soul that I wish it wasn't them and I think bad news Brian is related to it.

END OF SPOILER

........

I had to be fast in order to take this screenshot. I'm proud.

I saw some people complaining about his character being too toxic a relationship to have. I see why.

He's my favorite slow burn that can kill me while the tension is so high we can cut it with a knife kind of love interest. I want it.

Is that healthy? Nope.

Do I want this in real life? No.

Me seeing their scenes is like: "just kiss already!"

The expectations are high

I'm expecting a kiss this hot. No pressure!

Next time I can I'm playing Psi.

Confession:

"Can we talk about how Amen has zero empathy toward Eva after she shared that her step-father almost 🍇d her💀 The only thing he cares about is that she didn't have a man before him

Why Remy even added trauma to Eva, if she can't write it properly?? In 1st season Eva was triggered by Amen grabbing her, but in 2nd season she doesn't care when Set does it several times and very quickly agree to have sex with Amen. I dunno, but it seems pretty disrespectful to me"

A. Remy and her fanbase are the most problematic thing that happened in RC fandom

Not only she is rude to people being realistic/critical about her writing, but also clearly xenophobic and arrogant. I will never forgive her for the fact that she allows artists to draw people of color like this... Why making stories only about them – and their religion... – at all if she can't do any real research and figure out what she should be writing about?

Im also annoyed by the fact that SOTCN has no plot and too many holes in it. How does Livius know about Evthys' presence in that dream, if the dream did not belong to him, but to his ex? And what is generally known about the disease and why don't we hear anything about it? Why buy information about it to find out only the general features that we already heard about in previous chapters?.. It seems like the author herself just kind of threw the whole arc of disease to concentrate on Evthys' runaway.

KFS is weird, also. i am very concerned about the way Remy portrays the atmosphere in the story. The dynamics of relationship between Indians and British are so unclear? At one point they are very normal about presence of the whites, and Devi is so okay with marrying Ian even though they allegedly making plans and so on. I just mean that she has no thoughts other than couple of phrases in the beginning and we see very little of real relationships and historical accurate circumstances. And I think that you should be responsible for portrayal of the whole CULTURE and the least you can do is to make it less fetishized and inaccurate.

The way Remy is fully aware of what shes doing but purposefully ignores the amount of complaints our fandom has. She listens to her russian-speaking followers who do nothing but blindly admire her work without thinking about the representation she gives. And when someone point out on her mistakes she gets mad , subtly aggressive. If you know russian you can just take a look on her telegram channel and replies shes gives. Its arrogant and kind of disrespectful because the rejection of your own mistakes and the eternal justification and blame on others shows your true attitude towards your readers.

My main complaint is only about how illiterate she writes, how much she takes on herself and how she doesn't give a fuck about other cultures. And the fact that so many people love her and then misunderstand POC makes it so much worse
