The orchid mantis is delicate-looking but lethal. She lures people in with ethereal beauty and then _obliterates_ anything that threatens her peace. But not out of cruelty—out of necessity. She’s survived too much to be soft without edge. - **Traits:** - Looks like a fairy, fights like a Valkyrie. - Draws people in effortlessly, then quietly judges their intentions from ten feet away. - Feeds off moonlight, compliments, and vengeance. - Has probably manifested reality at least once. --- Welcome to your sanctuary. This site is stitched together from torn paper, pressed petals, and all the quiet things you never said out loud. It’s here for the days you feel like vanishing, and the nights you need to remember you are both soft and lethal. A flower and a blade. A quiet revolution. Whether you're unraveling or glowing, grieving or laughing too hard at 2AM, there's a page waiting for you. --- ## 🌸 Choose a Mood | Feeling | Go To | |--------|-------| | Sad | [[Sad_Reflective]] | | Happy | [[Happy_Playful]] | | Calm | [[Calm_Chill]] | | Dancey | [[Dancey_Upbeat]] | --- ## ✨ Start Here (If You're New) - [[Letters to a loved one]] — digital comfort in case of emotional emergency. - [[Case Note Menu]] — fictional records of how loved you truly are. - [[Mood Garden]] — sounds and visuals for your nervous system. - [[Scrapbook]] - Remembering the past - [[Reddit True Crime]] - Links to true crime sites updating your specific tastes. --- Made by your favorite gremlin medic-turned-muse.
