Illustration of an unsettling fairy with brown skin and dark, symmetrical patterns over their eyes and mouth. Their eyes flash purple and their dark hair is braided back, with curled tendrils framing their face. They wear a shawl reminiscent of butterfly wings, and dark butterflies and bright stars fill the grey sky behind them, under an arch of purple foxglove flowers.
Warm illustration of two men of colour against a blue and cream background.

Illustration of a Black woman with looking wide-eyed to the side in saturated orange, green and purple. Stylized tears fall from her eyes and stars dance above her head. A large orange star is positioned over her face like a flash of light. The image is split diagonally, with subtle glitch effects throughout.

Painting of a mixed Black trans man from the 19th century facing forward on a chaise, sitting powerfully. He is dressed in dark pants with suspenders and a light shirt that's partially open, revealing his naked chest in a moment of trans power and joy. "He/him" is written in large gothic font at the top, and "bodies of possibility" is written in small print at the bottom.
Illustration of white poppy flowers against a black background. "Poppy" and its meaning in the language of flowers, "oblivion" are both written vertically along the border in gothic font.

Illustration of a celestial being lovingly held by a disembodied black hand beneath a solar eclipse. Its touch burns holes in their skin. A smaller version of the figure knees forward in agony below them, impaled by swords. Their long black hair hides their face in grief.

Illustration of the Addams family as Black. A dark-skinned Morticia stands next to Gomez, who has warm brown skin and short curly hair. Wednesday stands in front of them, her hair in four thick braids. She is holding a headless doll. Pugsley stands beside her and smiles, his hands behind his back.
Illustration of a pale woman wading into a dark lake at night, her white hair falling around her. Her head is bent at a disconcerting angle. She smiles eerily and cups water in her hands, offering it to us.
