Laveau's character bothered me more tbh. Her real life counterpart was someone who HELPED people and went out of her way to improve race relations. Then the show turns her into this monster who sold her soul and murders babies.

It's like taking Martin Luther King and reimagining him as a serial rapist. I have no idea why the Tumblr crowd embraced her the way they did.

didnt the real laveau own slaves?

[(Anonymous)]

I've researched that and can't find a concrete answer. One source says she did it to free them.

I don't know much about Laveau, but black people owning slaves in order to give them a sort of freedom DID happen. Often this was after certain states passed laws either requiring freed slaves to leave the state (where they might have family) within a certain amount of time, or made freeing slaves either very difficult or impossible to begin with. Either a local abolitionist society would buy the slave, or in some case the original slave owner would sign them over voluntarily. This way they'd have de facto freedom, if not de jure (legal). Often it was also a lot safer to be owned on paper; having an owner to speak up on your behalf lended you a sort of protection.

That being said, some black people did definitely own slaves for the purposes anyone else did. This was just way less common than confederacy apologists like to believe.

Huh. I never knew the last part of Octavia Butler's Wild Seed was based on actual history. The moar you know etc.

Oh god now I want this

It'll need some more time, but once a historical figure gets old enough nothing is sacred!

Released in holosim in 2123!


I HAVE A NIGHTMARE

[(Anonymous)]

it's because black characters, especially black women, are ALL "flawless" regardless of their actual flaws.

[(Anonymous)]

This, especially where tumblr is concerned :/

I loved Laveau until she and Fiona murdered Nan and we found out she murdered babies. Before tyat though, she was such a magnifcent asshole and I loved watching her onscreen.

You haven't absorbed the formula of AHS yet

[insanenoodlyguy]

Here it is.

Is this character a character in American Horror Story? Yes

Did they survive more then 2 episodes? Yes

Are they an obvious powerless victim? no?

They are a horrible person.

Re: You haven't absorbed the formula of AHS yet

Lies. Misty Day wasn't a horrible person.

Re: You haven't absorbed the formula of AHS yet

[insanenoodlyguy]

Yes she was. Didn't you see the formula?

Re: You haven't absorbed the formula of AHS yet

[glo_unit]

While overall very accurate your formula does have some holes in it. Misty, nan, at the end Cordelia Foxx.

I think the way they were portrayed was very different. LaLaurie was a sadist and fundamentally corrupt, while Laveau started off as a good person who was torn apart by revenge and did horrible things because of it.

That being said I love them both, but LaLaurie was my absolutely favourite character. I can't believe most people can't take her with a grain of salt.

The last bit sums up what's wrong with this show. Mixing up Voodoo with satan. Modern Orientalism at its finest. :/
