Sitlali has always dreamed of having a second shape like EVERYONE else. Maybe a bear, a dolphin—even a slug. Any animal is fine as long as she’s not a single-shape.

Then she finally does shift.

And her second shape is the one fated to end shapeshifting for all humanity.

Foretold to steal humanity’s shapeshifting, Sitlali is doomed to a dark destiny.

Fabled to be the first human to shapeshift, the Na’wal is rumored to change fates.

With the Emperor’s fanged army after her, Sitlali must seek out the very being she’s meant to destroy.

What's worse than having no second shape?

Having the WRONG second shape.

And Sitlali is the walking apocalypse. Prophesized to steal humanity’s shapeshifting powers, Sitlali must decide if she’s to be her people’s destroyer or their unlikely savior.

In a Mesoamerican society of shapeshifters, Sitlali is prophesized to steal shapeshifting away from humanity. With the Emperor’s fanged army after her—helmed by her own sister—Sitlali must decide how far she’ll go to change her destiny.

Yeah, props to the OP because I stuck that on my desk wall so it haunts me 😆

That image, true. But it's THIS one that actually kickstarts me better. Like, your work could also just NOT exist.

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan.

“Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations."

Show people this clip. This is an insane slip up.

That's a very hard wall to hit. It's cliché advice, but also very true: Push through it. Perfect-in-your-head is the enemy of done-in-reality. However "bad" you think you are now is the worst you're going to be because future you (the one that finished and kept going) is better.

I always thought it was because his persona was something like "playful gentleman" (whether portraying a hero or villain) and I think he was genuinely kind and gracious IRL. Believe he was also queer so that pbly factored into him being generally compassionate to anyone who felt othered.
