I haven't dug into this but this seems like a powerful tool for digital artists.

I came to the Shadow and Bone fandom rather late. I was watching Season 1 and was completely captivated by Jesper, especially the scene where he lies about bouncing for the Clipper and shoots the signs. I had been looking for inspiration for my next D&D character and my bard-warlock Arlan was born in that moment, who fakes shooting with his Eldritch Blasts, lying because his brand of magic isn't exactly approved by those in power. At the time, I didn't know that Jesper was Grisha; Arlan was more like Jesper than I had originally anticipated. I've been playing Arlan now for two years and during that time I've dug more and more into Jesper's character and it's just made me love him all the more.

One of the things bards can do is give Bardic Inspirations to other players - so it was incredibly special to have Kit Young sign the Arlan/Jesper art I had commissioned from @cilyra and give me my own Bardic Inspiration from him.

Shadow and Bone brought me to tumblr because I was looking for artists who could draw Arlan/Jesper and I found so much more. I wasn't expecting to find a welcoming and thoughtful fandom community. I've dug into the books. I've gotten spectacular art from several artists via tumblr and IG.

I've loved reading the fanfics and the thoughtful analysis (@she-posts-nerdy-stuff has some great think pieces) which have made the source material so much richer, seeing uploads from the gif makers (shout out to @thewalkingbucky) to help me get through my days, and just interacting with other fans. I was fortunate enough to meet some of them in Germany at MagicCon (and share in a group hug with Kit).

The Grishaverse is the first fandom in years and years that I've let myself really grasp, unabashedly, whole-heartedly, openly. I've always felt a little embarrassed with my little blorbo hyperfixations but something about Shadow and Bone community has made me say who cares what other people think? I love what I love and I want to fully experience it all; it's made my life that much fuller. It's made me realize that I should just embrace my interests and what gives me joy, and fuck the haters and fuck the cynics.

So while it is disappointing that Netflix has cancelled not just Season 3 but also the Six of Crows spinoff, I hope we'll still maintain the thriving community and have future cons to meet the cast and each other!

I'm an open book. Everybody always seems to know my secrets before I know them myself. Unfortunately, I think that's true. I'm sorry you had to cancel your wedding. I know how devastating that must be for you.
