1 DAY before our Late Bird Sticker promo ends! 💜 This is your LAST CHANCE!! Help us get 50 more orders before the end of November 13th and get this sticker added to ALL physical bundles!

We are just a week out from contributor apps closing! We have seen people asking about what the writers role will be in this, so we thought we would make a post. 1/4 🧵

Here’s a reminder of the last official merch Riot released for Mel Medarda. Not only is she excluded from events, exhibits, & anniversary releases- the rare time minimal effort was made, she was depicted as being brutalized and killed by a white man (not to mention whitewashed) #arcane

Enamel Pin Upgrade UNLOCKED!! 🔓💜 At last, the Enamel Pin upgrade to our Mel & Ambessa sticker (by @growingdark.bsky.social) has been UNLOCKED! Enjoy the best of the wolf and the fox in this lovely pin. It'll be included in all our full bundles. Check our store NOW! 🛒 arcanewomenzine.bigcartel.com

I need everyone, regardless of what characters/ships you like, to recognize the point being made here ⬇️ the repeat + overt exclusion of Black characters, especially Black women (even when they are main characters), is intentional + systemic racism in action. Please follow the steps described #arcane

Hi everyone! Whenever Mel is left out of official content, most people often highlight fan creators - which is awesome! However, the amount Mel has not been included in content since season 2 has ended is becoming intentional and systematic. Please use your voice and email Riot!

✨ CHECK-IN 2 PREVIEWS! 💫 As we continue to pull the curtain back and show you a glimpse into Stella Aurea, enjoy a preview of what our wonderful writers and spectacular spot artists have been cooking up! 💫

CONTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT 🌟✨ Let's pop some champagne for @anothertina.bsky.social! 💫✨ Our merch lineup wouldn't be complete without Tina's stunningly vibrant pieces. Their style carries an energetic charm that you won't be able to get enough of! 💛
