the autostraddle senior team is collaged together in a creepy homage to our april fool's theme: undeadstraddle. Kayla has vampire teeth and red eyes, Riese has green goop coming from her mouth and green glowing eyes, anya is faded and becoming a ghost, nico's head has flown off their body and has glowing yellow eyes, carmen is creaming and holding an axe, and heather is fending off unseen but presumed monsters with her cane. Laneia is off to the side with her eyes consumed by darkness and her mouth blocked out. there is also the undeadstraddle version of the undeadstraddle logo.
