a dark moodboard— a pale hand gripping a knife, a pair of eyes staring in terror, white wolves fighting for dominance, masks hanging from strings, a puppeteer directing a dark shadow. the quotes overlayed are as follows: “Oh familiar bones. How I hate you. How I love you. How I am made of you and you of me. Just us two. In the end. Right? It’ll always be just us two.” “Fair is foul, and foul is fair.” “YOU WILL NOT CHOKE THE DIVINE FROM ME” “I feel my ancestors in my blood. I am a body of people that are asking not to be forgotten.”

— BLACKTHORN, a gothic horror contemporary fantasy

ALICE IN WONDERLAND X THE PRINCESS DIARIES

A collage consisting of various cut out images: - An illustration of Sherlock Holmes in his classic deerstalker cap and cloak smokes his pipe in the bottom left - A honey bee gathers nectar from a flower in the bottom middle. - Four macarons sit stacked in the bottom right corner. - Up the right side is a stalk of purple foxgloves. - The background is split between a pile of old newspapers and a dark alley lit by lamps and neon signs. - Red stage curtains frame the entire piece. - Five bee cut-outs (from two images of honey bees, flipped and rotated to various angles) fly around the top of the image.

SHERLOCK HOLMES with BEES
When a singer with ties to royalty vanishes, it's up to detective Arthur North to find her. As he digs, he uncovers a plot to place his people, the bee-like zizzun, in the crown's crosshairs. Can he uncover their connection before it's too late?

Moodboard of four images, all of which comes from various paintings by Alphonse Mucha: Left: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer. Middle top: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. Middle bottom: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies. Right: Poster for the 6th Sokol Festival. A woman in red, wearing a crown, sits as she clutches flower rings in her right hand and up her right arm. A ghostly, green image of a woman glares behind her.

FFXIV x TENSURA
When luckless Mick agrees to be his best friend Eleanor's adventuring partner, he expects to keep her safe, not be turned into a divine dragon. Now he and Eleanor must face his mission to lead a war against the gods—but is destiny as inevitable as it seems?
