Words by Palestinian writer Refaat Alareer (1979-2023). The poem in full:
If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale

Writing Prompt
Her hair was wild, her eyes were flashing, and her tattered underskirts floated around her. She looked like a glorious avenging goddess from some ancient erotic myth.

Arcane Newswatch - Day 900
Happy 900 days of waiting. If the wait between seasons was represented by one inch per day passed, it would now be 75 feet long; if it was instead the number of days since you last changed your bedsheets, then we here at Arcane Newswatch implore you to please go and change your bedsheets. Seriously, right now, please go change them
There are 177 days until November 1st
This has been Arcane Newswatch

Where did the idea that Shimmer would make Jinx's mental state worse next season come from? I know she had a big break down around the end, but that seemed more situational, i.e. she has reason to believe the two people she cares about most will betray her, I'm pretty sure she hasn't slept in over a day, and she just went through traumatic invasive surgery awake without any anesthetic.
So far, we've only see shimmer amplify aggression, not hallucinations. Some might argue that during Jinx's shimmer infusion surgery the shimmer caused her paranoid hallucinations of Vi and Caitlyn, but I argue those were caused by the fact that she was dying. Vi experienced similar hallucinations after she was stabbed by Sevika and again when Sevika had nearly beaten her to submission. Vi had a full conversation with her hallucinations with Vander, no shimmer necessary.
The only person that suffered from an increase in dissociative hallucinations after exposure to foreign material was Viktor with the hexcore. And Viktor was already being affected by hexcore before he even infused it with shimmer.

I always liked this shot in the Firelights mv, and I didn't know why until I saw this storyboard draft of the same scene.
This shot is wrapped in Jinx and Silco calling cards! In the draft they were less subtle, the bullets had the kind of scratchy doodles that Jinx would draw, instead they went for the elegant spirals of Jinx's cloud tattoos. The tattoos that represent the smoke clouds of her hexcrystal bomb, of her first kills, both on purpose and by accident.
And the mask!
The firelight mask in the storyboard is fractured in a way that resembles Silco's scars! What makes it better is that the firelight, their symbol of hope, the future, who they are, crawls out of the fractured left eye.
Altogether this shot was probably meant to do two things:
It served to represent that without the Firelights' hope and optimism, you're left with people like Jinx and Silco. People that live like they're already dead and untether themselves from their own humanity to achieve their goals.
It was supposed to foreshadow the fact that Jinx would kill Silco! When the firelight (the soul) flew out of Eve's mask, we the audience understood that it represented her death. When the firelight not only comes out of the left eye (Silco's dying eye) but the mask was originally intended to take on traits that resembled Silco's features, you realize Jinx's bullets aren't just there to say she killed Eve, but that she'll kill Silco too!
It's great! It's awful! I need to find more!
