Kat Graham spoke on the Driven Minds podcast as a guest. She detailed mental health, health, having boundaries and even given some thoughts on how that has changed her life or blended with her career. She’s very aware that she and Bonnie had plenty of disadvantages than her co-stars and other characters because of her race. Whether that be love interests, clothing, hair or Bonnie having agency. To quote her directly: “had I been a caucasian female I do think the writing would’ve been different”
It’s just as important to hear this from her perspective first and foremost as much as the fans rallied behind her then and now.
... a M|M ship with major parental issues were high school sweethearts undercover (both having one of their fathers assaulting them after he found them together), went years going in and out of each other's lives (including one entering the military, religious fanaticism, and jail time in respective orders), then got engaged in the third-to-last episode of a season, and married in the finale, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Fuck The CW for not giving Malex a honeymoon season and making me actually grateful to John Wells for some thing other than actually showing the ins and outs of Gallavich’s relationship *side-glances heavily at Carina and Chris*.
Bruh, I'm fucking tired. It's been like ten goddamn years and Carina is baiting the KC fandom by tweeting ''however long it takes'' about Klaus appearing on legacies. Is it too much to leave us in GODDAMN peace?? ENOUGHHH
She lowkey cares more than KCers at this point which is weird.
TV Writer/Showrunner Carina Adly Mackenzie [creator of Rosewell, New Mexico] talks about why AI is bad for the industry. If you're not terrified for everyone in the industry (including the audience) who isn't a non-creative suit calling the money shots, you should be.
Something to show anyone who thinks actors are all paid too much:
[ID: tweet from carina adly mackenzie @/cadlymack that says, "Had a convo on the picket line with a series reg on a Netfix show who makes $5k per ep. That is $50k per year. Take out 25% for reps, you’re at $37,500 without accounting for taxes. Half of a comfortable living wage in Los Angeles. The show requires them to live in Los Angeles." end ID.]
i’ll only post the story if this gets enough likes :p

did u know they used real traditional witch craft in the originals
carina searched up old spells and would switch the words around and add them to the script until someone from New Orleans called them when s2 was airing and told them to stop
but they still didnt
Once again white people taking over shit that doenst belong to them and then dismissing the actual concerns
Okay, i just woke up and Im sick so if its some errors in this im sorry lol. Brain is not functioning atm - massive headaches & all.
Yeah! I’ve seen that video on tiktok recently not only did Carina Mackenzie admitted she struggle writing spells but continued to google and use someone else’s culture. Then her and Riley both laughed about the phone call. Weird as hell given that’s someone’s actual culture and practice.
There’s one thing to not believe in someone’s culture (juju, voodoo, hoodoo…) etc but if you’re constantly pulling and nitpicking at it for your own content you have no room to label someone crazy. It’s even worst when you look TO’s version of New Orleans compared to other versions of New Orleans in media. Everyone in TO’s version is white, besides a few characters but for the majority from the main cast to the background characters are white. Yet, you have New Orleans depicted in Princess in the frog—diverse, AHS:Coven-diverse. We really didn’t get black main characters (and they were temporary) until fans complained and TO frequently did a body-jump as placeholders.
There’s also another instance of how the writers took and manipulated culture is in (2x13) when the wolves are throwing/laying brooms at Jayley’s door, which Jackson explained “jumping the broom” meant jumping into bed with your partner. When jumping the broom was created during slavery and never about rushing to have sex with your partner.
There’s more to name that occurred but yeah white people will use up someone else’s culture and get mad you dare correct them on it. I mean look at how they react when black women tell them not to wear box braids. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
