She was, I agree, it's a shame that Aaliyah died before reaching her full potential!

I’ve got interview 🥹 but I def want the rest now! Didn’t know so much information was handed out most fictional books I read about vampires don’t give much back story. I’d like to know how every vampire started ☠️

he ain't the first in his universe tho lol

@@multiseditssz Always and Forever 😍

I taught it was Michael

They changed that for the movie

⁠Is it possible that she was always in control of vampires dying when she was exposed to sunlight? Could it be her sort of, spitefully redirecting the damage the sunlight is doing from her body and distributing it ‘out’ over the larger ‘body’ of Amel (that is technically the vampirism ‘virus’ that every vampire is infected with, essentially)? Or maybe even just spite towards other vampires if they try to hurt her? Like, you think exposing me to the sun will kill me? No, but it will you all! Also, couldn’t it be that vampires were spontaneously combusting all around the world just as the stories say happens, they just didn’t bother showing that aspect because they wanted us to focus on the emotional struggle Lestat is going through, when considering betraying her? Also, how did she not foresee his betrayal if she can read minds?

I’ve already done her origins in a separate video

No. _Ancient Egyptians called their land "Kemet," which meant "black," after the black fertile silt-layered soil that was left behind each year during the annual innundation, when the Nile flooded the fields._ The people of Kemet also didn’t, except in some depictions of their slaves, even have very dark skin tones (olive/mediterranean was most common) though skin colour varies person to person so there was a range of shades, darker skin tones were to be found in the lower areas of what we now call Africa, when it was still called Alkebulan.

@@highfaeFalse the comment is correct.

1) Had Akasha not been obsessed with the powers of the witches and sent her soldiers to slaughter Maharet and Mekare’s village (in Israel/Palestine) and kidnap the twins, Amel would never have been so incensed as to attack and eventually enter Akasha. 2) Funerary cannibalism, although disgusting, was practiced by quite a few major cultures in the ancient world (including throughout the Levant and Africa like in the novel). The twins weren’t obsessed with death or cannibalism; they were raised in a culture of consuming their loved ones’ brains and hearts after death to take into themselves the physical essence of the loved ones-in other words, where the essence resided before the death. 3) Amel wasn’t their familiar; he wanted their attention because spirits desperately seek the attention of witches because witches represent a bridge between the material world and the immaterial world; witches are human yet can perceive and communicate with spirits, so any spirit wanting to be worshipped or loved or feared would need a solid link to the world-and a witch would be perfect. Amel haunted the twins, but he was merely a powerful nuisance. They never instructed him to go into Akasha and create the vampire race; he did it on his own. 4) Akasha was a psychopath even as a human being. Everything she did was to try and fill a black hole inside herself which was, ironically, where her malice emanated from. Anne’s description of Akasha as pretty and soft spoken translates to superficial charm given Akasha’s true personality, and her taste for violence without remorse shows her lack of empathy-textbook psychopathy. 5) The twins-selfish?? If Mekare had not fulfilled her curse on Akasha, Akasha would’ve overrun the world and set herself up as a goddess (grandiosity-another psychopathic trait), slaughtered 90% of the men on earth (misandry and narcissism because SHE feels this is best for the world), and yet she had the gall to lecture the vampires on the evil of human beings when her own purpose for waking up after thousands of years was to remake the world according to her own myopic vision. The twins definitely deserved to destroy Akasha-not just for what she did to them (ordering their rape and mutilating them), but for the sake of the whole world. Selfish?? Nah. _The Queen of the Damned_ : a novel where the title character is damned indeed-to the very core of who she was, and deservedly so.
