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.

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 🦇🧛‍♀️

Something about how if you love your job you'll never work a day in your life?

When you have spent a year in mourning wishing for a sign from the beyond, and then three ravens land on a tombstone right beside you. 🐦‍⬛

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

Me, a bad actor? Why, I never! Listen to this...

Good news: When my book was free in August, I got almost 900 downloads!
Less good news: I have seen virtually no change in the number of reviews for that book 😂

But that's okay! Onward and upward 🥰
