@redoak i bet. i once was walking along the nearby river just after twilight and came upon a sea of fireflies. ran back home to fetch friends to bathe in their faerie light, but the tide had receded by the time we returned, with only a few blinkies here & there.
@iraantlers@redoak Right? Maybe modern tech has disillusioned us, or maybe we've done it to ourselves by relying on it.
Whenever something like this happens though, I just remind myself that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) fell for the Cottingly faeries hoax, so nobody's perfect, lol
