My spirit became trapped in this tree in 1867 when my beloved failed to meet me one dark, stormy night and I perished in the cold. Now I return each autumn when the leaves take on the fiery hue to lure young men into my branches, where they will never be seen again...

I have been caught in a fairy ring and have been dancing for six hours... But pray do not interrupt, one more hour and they have promised to take me out of this timeline. 😅

When I possessed this human, she was sitting on a bench tapping her toe. Waiting for a suitor perhaps? That is good. I could use a snack 🤭

GREETINGS SENTIENT BEING. I HAVE POSSESSED THIS FORM. IS THIS VISAGE PLEASANT?

I shall teach you a trick, young one. In a moment of panic with a new suitor, simply drop your handkerchief. As they bend over to pick it up, you earn yourself a moment to gather your wits.

I have assumed the visage of a young maiden who has strayed from her chaperone. I believe there is a vampire in these woods. I hope this color attracts their interest, so I may slay them.

I was walking about the park with my chaperone when the largest dog I have ever seen bounded over and stole my gloves! I ran after him, of course, but I seem to have become lost...

I have grown tired of the jewels my vampire mate gave me last year for Christmas. Perhaps a new color this year. What do you think of this lovely purple?
December 30, 2025 at 11:43 AM
I am in want of a husband, but my dear mama and her matchmakers have failed me, so I have taken to sneaking out of my room in the early morning and wandering around the territory of the local werewolf pack.

I awoke the day after my arranged marriage to find my wretched husband cold beside me. I do not wish to be forced into years of mourning when I have only just become a married woman, so I am seeing a necromancer who might animate the old man's body for a few weeks.

Have you seen the young lady on Lord Galway's arm? I cannot believe he brought a member of the Night Court. Her parents will be furious when they find out. They are practically royalty in the Day Court. I cannot wait to hear all about it 🤭

My suitor asked me to meet him here alone because he
needed to show me something.
But all I hear is a wolf howling…
Could that be him?...

When you take an innocent walk in the woods, only to find the leader of the local pack.
🐺 He took one look at me and declared I’m his mate! What’s a girl to do?
December 13, 2025 at 10:58 AM
I can't wait for you to meet Marcus and Winifred 🥰

When you're summoning the spirit of your dead husband because he "forgot" to leave you anything in his will.
December 10, 2025 at 10:29 AM
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.
