When you're summoning the spirit of your dead husband because he "forgot" to leave you anything in his will.

When you catch the mysterious and reclusive Duke in a
compromising position with the diamond of the season.
Wait…is he…sucking on that lady’s neck? Are those…fangs?

The color of this dress is lovely, but its true utility is the number of weapons I can conceal beneath my hook skirt. I must be cautious when I walk, though, as the stakes have a tendency to fall out.

You see, it seems like a normal parasol. But when I tilt it just so... It reflects the sunlight, so as to chase away any vampires. A most ingenious hunter weapon.

I take the guise of a lovely young woman waiting for a suitor in a garden pergola, but when they come close... They feel my vampiric kiss 💋🧛‍♀️ #historicalfashion

I am off to visit my grandmother. She lives over the river and through the woods. I hope I am not waylaid by a wolfish stranger... 🐺👀

I commune with the trees in autumn to determine if the humans in the nearby town deserve another year, or if it is time for the fae to smite them.

It is said if you walk through a Glasgow park at dusk and see a veiled lady who asks for your help getting home, you will never be seen again.

(Photo from when I was in Glasgow and managed to find a dress, hat, veil, and makeup to do a photoshoot while on vacation!)

Me, if I was a Woman in White 👀 (I'm taking liberties here. lol)

A White Lady (or woman in white) is a type of female ghost. She is typically dressed in a white dress or similar garment, reportedly seen in rural areas and associated with local legends of tragedy.

Are you afraid of the dark? 👻🦇🧛‍♀️

The vampire equivalent of an angler fish. I stand beneath a beautiful tree in Autumn and wait for a tourist to take photos, then quickly race forward and snab them 🦇🧛‍♀️

Does Bluesky like #Supernatural?

In the hopes of bringing Supernatural fans more joy, as someone who just started watching the show for the first time, I downloaded a snapshot of various Supernatural actors and I will fill this thread with my guesses about what kind of character they play
