A three by three board with nine squares. The first row consists of a close-up of a pocket watch, an overhead aerial shot of a city at night, and pink clouds against a blue backdrop. The second row consists of an abstract purple and blue image that looks like broken glass, a photo with the words "I am a weapon" in white text against a black background, and scattered golden and orange circles against a black background. The third row consists of an image of a pink and purple galaxy, a city at sunset, and a close-up of golden gears.

THE POPPY WAR meets ARCANE

"Good or evil, blood is blood."

Ooooh, I smell relifious allegory, possibly 👀

I'm running with the angel cannibalism story I plan on writing next year. Humans eating angels? Yes. Angels eating angels. Also yes. Consuming angelic flesh to become closer to the gods? Why not?

a photo of me, the author, a Black person of medium brown tone, with short locs that are golden in the front, black in back. I wear glasses and dark lipstick. I have gold rings in each nostril and a stack through my septum. I stretch my ears. I swear a black velvet top and hold a stack of books: four different editions of I FEED HER TO THE BEAST as well as its sequel, I AM THE DARK. I stand beside a bookshelf cluttered with books.

the cover of I FEED HER TO THE BEAST, depicting a Black girl standing in a gothic hallway, looking regal while blood runs down her face. Some ingredients for the book are: Lovecraft meets Black Swan on the Paris Catacombs, good-for-her, corruption arc, found family, a talking river of blood, Faustian deals, girls committing crimes, monster romance, toxic female friendship.

the cover of I AM THE DARK, depicting a Black girl screaming while a monster peeks beneath her skin. Some ingredients for the book are: she's still possessed but it's worse now, bisexual panic, "what are we?" monster romance, girls committing more crimes, good for her again, still biting people, complicated parental relationships, fucked up animals, and recovering from burnout.

a proper (re)introduction #booksky: i'm Jamison Shea, author of dark fantasy duology I FEED HER TO THE BEAST, where a Black ballerina makes a deal with an eldritch god for power.

imagine Black Swan + Venom, feat. chaotic bisexuals destroying Parisian landmarks - out now 🩸🖤

3. I both like and don't like the ending. I definitely feel like Arcane could have used a 4th arc to really tie up loose ends. Fans also most definitely deserved the 90 minute long series finale episode. But that's an issue with Netflix not the show. All in all, a great show and masterful art.

Brutalization of Zaunties at the hand of not only enforcers but foreign entities as well. Caitlyn had no redemption arc. She simply acknowledged that she KNOWINGLY let Ambessa use her pain to justify her abuse of a people who were already being abused by the system.

Police brutality at the hands of the enforcers for years while residing in the worst maximum security prison for crimes she didn't commit. Also convinced Vi it was totally okay to use biological warfare against her community. Let's also not forget enacting martial law and encouraging the

2. I'm gonna say something controversial and yall not gonna like it. But as a lesbian myself, I don't like Caitlyn and Vi's ship. There, I said it. Caitlyn emotionally manipulated Vi into being a cop on the basis that the murder of their parents are a similar basis. Also ignoring the fact Vi faced

I have gathered my thoughts on Arcane. Here are said thoughts (spoilers ahead if you haven't seen the show):

1. Black people stay winning and losing at the same goddamn time. How tf do the coolest characters be your black characters and they still end up losing the most important people to them.

Wait this is so precious! It makes me think of Mabel from Gravity Falls, just a little more tame 😂

Revising my corrupted chosen one science fantasy next year is gonna be rough because I want to dive into this story so badly. I know and feel the characters so well. I can't wait to breathe life into them after over a year of just dreaming about them.

Offbeat suggestion, but have you read Legendborn by @tracydeonn.bsky.social? It's about a Black college student who discovers she's the heir to King Arthur. She stands on uneasy ground between her own ancestry & the Arthur myth, but she finds her feet and meets the moment. I found it a good read.
