I can’t get over all the magic I’ve seen

I can’t believe it’s been a week since Black Fae Day. It was so beautiful. #blackfaeday

Want to geek out with me about fantasy?

I’m so happy to have met them finally! This was such a special trip.

Maybe some Willow

First Friday of May...let's love on our folks who do the vital work of building community! Organizing events, critique groups, podcasters; posting prompts, goal setting, encouragment. Setting their own work aside so all the boats rise. Who are the Black builders in your life? Share those flowers! 💐💐

Outside of my own events, I’ve never heard of a fantasy space that celebrates black culture and nerdiness. I literally created what I wanted to see in the world and invited EVERYONE to come join me in this space. If you love diverse spaces/people and want to frolic as a magical being, join me!

I’ve read some black American fairytales I hadn’t heard before this month. I wish there wasn’t so much stigma and suppression of Black American folklore. Sometimes it feels like finding a needle in a haystack. I don’t believe these stories should be forgotten.

Sometimes resistance looks like reading books to kids and making “dragon snot” (slime) together. I love being a LiFAERian ☺️💖 Support is a verb. Visit and use the resources at your local libraries and bookstores!

• Get a library card • Use your library card • Support indie booksellers • Read banned books • Read diverse authors • Resist • Repeat #booksky #resist

What a time to be a nerd. I love this part of the cosmic timeline 💖

A little late, but sometimes it's good to give your dragon spouse a heads up about the holidays. Lark is quick to calm with Alondra's charm.

I recently had to redesign a post and some of my website because I began to recognize that I had stock photos from Canva that were AI. I wish I had the tools to do my own graphic designs.

Did you know Black Fae Day has an annual theme? The holiday theme helps creative minds pinpoint a starting place. Whatever you imagine, create! Pull it into this mundane world and share it with us using the hashtag #blackfaeday on May 10th, 2025!

Let’s dump Kindle and Audible. Libby and Hoopla with your library card are great FREE options as well. #booksky

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

I’ve started updating the Black Fae Day website in preparation for this coming spring. Check it out! www.blackfaeday.com

The holy trinity of my desires 😆

Let me send out my mating call: 🎶🎼 “When does a comet become a meteor?” 🎶🎼

2024 was an incredible year for African SFF short fiction. Author @wtalabi.bsky.social (Convergence Problems, Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon) highlights ten (plus a few more) outstanding examples: reactormag.com/the-best-afr...

Why is this my dad 😆

I’m finding my blue sky tribe 😭

When I say I want a black Romantasy protagonist or love interest I’m saying I want them to look like Safiétou Kabengele #romantasy

Harvest Season 🍅🥒

✨💙✨

Do you draw fantasy characters that are plus sized or people of color? If so, I’d like to follow you. I follow other artists of course, but it’s refreshing to see characters that feel familiar.

Colour train but with a twist! Quote this 💜Purple💜 post with your 💛Yellow/Gold 💛 Art! To change colours, tag six mutuals 🌸 @maybarros.com.br @erikailustra.bsky.social @lichjuliorra.bsky.social @ascoresdalua.bsky.social @bruhconstantine.bsky.social @nicolechiorato.bsky.social #art

So romanceable 😍

I got to be part of a Seelie vs Unseelie court cosplay collab. What do you think of my Seelie Court Advisor?

Sometimes you just gotta go to faire with your friends 💖

🍂 ✶ 🎃

You know this is a good space when I turn on my forest sounds and just peruse art… It’s so relaxing 😌

Good morning! 🌤️ Just wanted to share Black Fae Day’s founder OCs today. They were a commission from Choclattea Doodles!
