Shannon Purser Instagram - 🌷✨Backwoods Venus✨🌷 when I first saw these photos after our shoot in the summer, I didn’t know how to feel. they were beautiful. everything Valheria does is beautiful. she’s a true visionary and I consider myself so lucky every time we get to shoot together. the whole team behind these pictures is amazing and even though it was a humid, sweaty shoot in a creek that probably had snakes, it was a great day. so what was the hesitation? I felt exposed. I felt overwhelmingly aware of my body and how short it falls of the beauty standards our society has indoctrinated us with. indoctrinated me with. ever since I was maybe 10, I’d internalized the idea that fat is one of the worst things you can be. I learned that if you are fat, your options are to punish your psyche and your body until you are not or try to compensate however you can. I got good at makeup. I am strategic about how much skin I show and where. I cast myself as the “mom friend” even when it felt wrong because, in my mind, being desirable wasn’t really an option. I’ve realized over the years that I’m not just strategic about revealing my body. I’m strategic about revealing my soul- who gets to know me and how well. sometimes that’s wisdom. other times, it’s just a debilitating fear of vulnerability-a reflexive shrinking away from a potential hurt. what I do know is that the hiding hurts more than the exposure. dreading the moments someone wants to see me in my entirety, body and soul, hurts. so, here I am, exposing myself. I am not confident. I am just refusing to let my fear keep me from living. I am just me. photos: the legend herself, @valheria123 (she also did my nails bc what can’t she do?) makeup: @chandlerwest custom clothing and styling: @studio.tessafay hair styling and extensions: @_treyanthony @jessicawrighthair @your.mane.thing @melrosemcqueen assistants: the iconic @demetriusw @savanaogburn

Shannon Purser Instagram - Today was my last day filming Riverdale. I want to post more pics but they will have to wait for now. I have been part of this show for nearly 7 years. When I think about all the life I’ve lived and the ways I’ve grown as a person and artist in that time, it’s overwhelming. I know there’s so much about this show that I will always cherish and miss. More than anything, the people. I wish you all knew how much work goes into this show and could meet all the wonderful folks who make it happen. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity. There are too many people to thank. Thank you @writerras for finding a place for me in Riverdale! I owe you a lot and I’ve had so much fun being Ethel over these years. Thank you to our lovely writers who gave me so much fun stuff to do here. From cult acolyte to teen sleuth, there was singing and dancing and screaming and never a dull moment for Ethel. It was a blast. Thank you to the cast and crew. Thank you for your kindness and hard work. I’ll miss you! And thanks to everyone who watched. I hope you enjoy our final season. 🤍

Shannon Purser Instagram - PART ONE: 🩸”Fear and bravery are often one and the same. It either makes you a warrior or a coward. The only difference is the person it resides inside.”🩸 I have been obsessed with fantasy for as long as I can remember. I have so many fond memories of scouring the library for magical books I hadn’t read yet. I would bring my novels to school, to restaurants, everywhere. As I fell in love with movies and games and tv, I spent less time with books. But a few months ago I found the Blood and Ash series from @jennifer_l_armentrout and fell hard and fast. I immediately related to Poppy and her journey to finding herself after years of indoctrination. And, of course, I knew I had to do a cosplay shoot. Shout out to the incredible team who made this shoot possible! Photography: @emackphoto Production: @esodette Makeup: @downtoclownmakeup Hair: @gingerbythesea

Shannon Purser Instagram - Thank you all for the kind words about my song Lullaby 🤍 One of my favorite artists is Enya and I wanted to make a song that gave me the same feeling as May It Be. I wanted to write what I needed to hear. And I wrote it with love. Thank you for the all support! I really thought music production was reserved for people with way more knowledge and experience and I hope this encourages you to not be afraid to be a beginner.

Shannon Purser Instagram - what’s really exciting is that I’m just as annoying as I was in middle school- I just have a bigger audience now
Shannon Purser Instagram - last night at the premiere of @thefirstlady_sho! it was so lovely to be part of a production with such an incredibly talented cast and crew. the first episode airs on April 17th! 🌹 makeup by @downtoclownmakeup hair by @guiniushair dress and bolero by @vixen_by_micheline_pitt
Shannon Purser Instagram - I wanted to write a song to ease your mind and here it is. Lullaby is out everywhere now! 🤍 Maybe I should have waited to post this in the morning but I simply don’t care. This is the first song I’ve written/performed/produced by myself. It’s definitely….imperfect. But I’m really proud of myself. I love getting the chance to collaborate with other (better) musicians but I think I needed to prove to myself that I could make music I liked on my own. I hope you enjoy it and it brings you a little peace. Album Art by my queen @peggyshootsfilm Hair and Makeup by the actual love of my life @blondiewoodbeauty

Shannon Purser Instagram - Part Three: Revolution When I was young, I used to pray for God to take away my identity, my mind, my ego, so I could be filled with something better. I was a good kid, pathologically sensitive to the feelings of others and my own wrongdoing, but I felt the cold breath of condemnation on my neck. I obsessively reasoned with myself. I knew that God could forgive any sin but only if I recognized it as such and repented of it. But then, there was the matter of my being queer. My church & the theology passed down through my parents taught me that though God could forgive me being gay, I could never accept or act upon that feeling without betraying Christ. And while other temptations were fleeting, the undeniable fact of my attraction could not be forsaken. I tried. I saw how other queer people I loved were treated and talked about. They were instantly othered. “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” Being told that wanting to love and be loved is worthy of hell doesn’t feel like love. I obsessively looked for answers. I read works by Christians who chose celibacy rather than accept or embrace their homosexuality. I found other, more radical Christians, who argued that scripture never condemned homosexuality at all. I didn’t want to lose my faith, my entire worldview. I tried desperately to reconcile the wonderful, happy, good queer people I met with what I was taught they deserved. But it wasn’t just the issue of being gay. Everything had been called into question for me. Did anyone deserve eternal torment? Did this justice make sense? Could I live by a faith that tore me apart? In the end, I couldn’t. I made the radical, terrifying, heretical, dangerous decision to try to love myself and others without condition- to trust that my heart wasn’t wicked and beyond cure. I resolved to keep the precious things I’d learned in my heart and release the rest. It didn’t happen all at once. My ideology changed fairly quickly but the twisted roots of self-loathing and fear are deeply engrained. I’m still digging them up. Still, to choose my own well-being and joy was freedom and power I’d never felt before. I didn’t have to face my demons on my knees, I could fight them myself.

I made the radical, terrifying, heretical, dangerous decision to try to love myself and others without condition- to trust that my heart wasn’t wicked and beyond cure. I resolved to keep the precious things I’d learned in my heart and release the rest. It didn’t happen all at once. My ideology changed fairly quickly but the twisted roots of self-loathing and fear are deeply engrained. I’m still digging them up. Still, to choose my own well-being and joy was freedom and power I’d never felt before. I didn’t have to face my demons on my knees, I could fight them myself.
Shannon Purser Instagram - Part Three: Revolution When I was young, I used to pray for God to take away my identity, my mind, my ego, so I could be filled with something better. I was a good kid, pathologically sensitive to the feelings of others and my own wrongdoing, but I felt the cold breath of condemnation on my neck. I obsessively reasoned with myself. I knew that God could forgive any sin but only if I recognized it as such and repented of it. But then, there was the matter of my being queer. My church & the theology passed down through my parents taught me that though God could forgive me being gay, I could never accept or act upon that feeling without betraying Christ. And while other temptations were fleeting, the undeniable fact of my attraction could not be forsaken. I tried. I saw how other queer people I loved were treated and talked about. They were instantly othered. “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” Being told that wanting to love and be loved is worthy of hell doesn’t feel like love. I obsessively looked for answers. I read works by Christians who chose celibacy rather than accept or embrace their homosexuality. I found other, more radical Christians, who argued that scripture never condemned homosexuality at all. I didn’t want to lose my faith, my entire worldview.

Those, they never go away. 🩸
Shannon Purser Instagram - Part One: Devotion When I found @anetherealfire’s work, I was blown away by the beauty and detail and knew I wanted the opportunity to see myself in fine art. What was even more exciting is how encouraging Chris is to all his clients in helping them explore a narrative. I started to think about what story I’d want to tell about the journey of my life and how I could translate it into art. Ultimately, I settled on my experience growing up deeply religious, battling intense mental illness, and the nonlinear journey of healing. I’m so excited to show you all the stunning pieces Chris created so stay tuned! Devotion is about single-minded longing and submission. The comfort and safety in self abandonment. A desperation for hope and guidance that can easily be taken advantage of. When your eyes are fixed on heaven, what darkness escapes your notice? From Chris: “This artwork took 2 days to complete with over 40 classical elements combined together alongside digital painting to create the setting. The final result is one of the most visually complex, and intense pieces I have created to date for my Storyteller Sessions and is something I am immensely proud of to have worked on ⚔️.⁣ ⁣ The story Shannon created and the themes we talked thru together are powerfully heavy topics, and I’m so thankful that she trusted me with this 🎨🖼️. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ *No generative ai used in this artwork⁣ ⁣

Shannon Purser - 147.8K Likes - 🌷✨Backwoods Venus✨🌷 when I first saw these photos after our shoot in the summer, I didn’t know how to feel. they were beautiful. everything Valheria does is beautiful. she’s a true visionary and I consider myself so lucky every time we get to shoot together. the whole team behind these pictures is amazing and even though it was a humid, sweaty shoot in a creek that probably had snakes, it was a great day. so what was the hesitation? I felt exposed. I felt overwhelmingly aware of my body and how short it falls of the beauty standards our society has indoctrinated us with. indoctrinated me with. ever since I was maybe 10, I’d internalized the idea that fat is one of the worst things you can be. I learned that if you are fat, your options are to punish your psyche and your body until you are not or try to compensate however you can. I got good at makeup. I am strategic about how much skin I show and where. I cast myself as the “mom friend” even when it felt wrong because, in my mind, being desirable wasn’t really an option. I’ve realized over the years that I’m not just strategic about revealing my body. I’m strategic about revealing my soul- who gets to know me and how well. sometimes that’s wisdom. other times, it’s just a debilitating fear of vulnerability-a reflexive shrinking away from a potential hurt. what I do know is that the hiding hurts more than the exposure. dreading the moments someone wants to see me in my entirety, body and soul, hurts. so, here I am, exposing myself. I am not confident. I am just refusing to let my fear keep me from living.

When I think about all the life I’ve lived and the ways I’ve grown as a person and artist in that time, it’s overwhelming. I know there’s so much about this show that I will always cherish and miss. More than anything, the people. I wish you all knew how much work goes into this show and could meet all the wonderful folks who make it happen. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity. There are too many people to thank. Thank you @writerras for finding a place for me in Riverdale! I owe you a lot and I’ve had so much fun being Ethel over these years. Thank you to our lovely writers who gave me so much fun stuff to do here. From cult acolyte to teen sleuth, there was singing and dancing and screaming and never a dull moment for Ethel. It was a blast. Thank you to the cast and crew. Thank you for your kindness and hard work. I’ll miss you! And thanks to everyone who watched. I hope you enjoy our final season. 🤍

It’s definitely….imperfect. But I’m really proud of myself. I love getting the chance to collaborate with other (better) musicians but I think I needed to prove to myself that I could make music I liked on my own. I hope you enjoy it and it brings you a little peace. Album Art by my queen @peggyshootsfilm Hair and Makeup by the actual love of my life @blondiewoodbeauty

Likes : 12545Shannon Purser - 10.7K Likes - Part Three: Revolution When I was young, I used to pray for God to take away my identity, my mind, my ego, so I could be filled with something better. I was a good kid, pathologically sensitive to the feelings of others and my own wrongdoing, but I felt the cold breath of condemnation on my neck. I obsessively reasoned with myself. I knew that God could forgive any sin but only if I recognized it as such and repented of it. But then, there was the matter of my being queer. My church & the theology passed down through my parents taught me that though God could forgive me being gay, I could never accept or act upon that feeling without betraying Christ. And while other temptations were fleeting, the undeniable fact of my attraction could not be forsaken. I tried. I saw how other queer people I loved were treated and talked about. They were instantly othered. “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” Being told that wanting to love and be loved is worthy of hell doesn’t feel like love. I obsessively looked for answers. I read works by Christians who chose celibacy rather than accept or embrace their homosexuality. I found other, more radical Christians, who argued that scripture never condemned homosexuality at all. I didn’t want to lose my faith, my entire worldview. I tried desperately to reconcile the wonderful, happy, good queer people I met with what I was taught they deserved. But it wasn’t just the issue of being gay. Everything had been called into question for me. Did anyone deserve eternal torment? Did this justice make sense? Could I live by a faith that tore me apart? In the end, I couldn’t. I made the radical, terrifying, heretical, dangerous decision to try to love myself and others without condition- to trust that my heart wasn’t wicked and beyond cure. I resolved to keep the precious things I’d learned in my heart and release the rest. It didn’t happen all at once. My ideology changed fairly quickly but the twisted roots of self-loathing and fear are deeply engrained. I’m still digging them up. Still, to choose my own well-being and joy was freedom and power I’d never felt before. I didn’t have to face my demons on my knees, I could fight them myself.

Still, to choose my own well-being and joy was freedom and power I’d never felt before. I didn’t have to face my demons on my knees, I could fight them myself.

My church & the theology passed down through my parents taught me that though God could forgive me being gay, I could never accept or act upon that feeling without betraying Christ. And while other temptations were fleeting, the undeniable fact of my attraction could not be forsaken. I tried. I saw how other queer people I loved were treated and talked about. They were instantly othered. “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” Being told that wanting to love and be loved is worthy of hell doesn’t feel like love. I obsessively looked for answers. I read works by Christians who chose celibacy rather than accept or embrace their homosexuality. I found other, more radical Christians, who argued that scripture never condemned homosexuality at all. I didn’t want to lose my faith, my entire worldview. I tried desperately to reconcile the wonderful, happy, good queer people I met with what I was taught they deserved. But it wasn’t just the issue of being gay. Everything had been called into question for me. Did anyone deserve eternal torment? Did this justice make sense? Could I live by a faith that tore me apart? In the end, I couldn’t. I made the radical, terrifying, heretical, dangerous decision to try to love myself and others without condition- to trust that my heart wasn’t wicked and beyond cure. I resolved to keep the precious things I’d learned in my heart and release the rest. It didn’t happen all at once. My ideology changed fairly quickly but the twisted roots of self-loathing and fear are deeply engrained. I’m still digging them up. Still, to choose my own well-being and joy was freedom and power I’d never felt before. I didn’t have to face my demons on my knees, I could fight them myself.
