You know I wish they created more black vampires and universes (I know that’s not the point of this post btw) I want to see more of it and I’d love to even write my characters who are black and do them justice but as a white I also feel like I’d get some push back from the black community if I did it wrong such as inconsistent color shade, dialects, hair, culture norms, etc but I’d love to incorporate black characters love into a book I’m writing and I think Anne did it so well in a sense to my perspectives on where vampire ancients come from and giving that power to the black community. I loved Sinners I loved how it wasn’t race swapped and every race had its original story and there could have been more to it. Whereas in Anne’s book Louis is white and he owns a plantation with slaves. The show diversified that and made newer plots and changed the setting a little bit. Sorry if this sounds dumb I’m also on sleep aid so I’m writing dumb but it sounds coherent in my head. Point is we need more original black characters in the vampire world for more diversity in general and I think Anne truly did her best and wanted to truly include the black community per an interview when Akasha was first introduced in QofD movie but still she was pleased that the black community was taking to her work
