IN THE forests of Louisiana lives a real-life fairy - equipped with her very own magical workshop. Ashley Gailliot, 23, started dressing as her alter-ego: a half mermaid, half-fairy called ‘Thistle’ as a hobby after a childhood obsession with all things fantasy-related. However, this became a more important form of escapism for Ashley during difficult times in her life. She told Truly: “After my husband joined the military, we were separated for about two years. Those were two of the darkest years of my life and it was very hard to feel anything.” In the video, Ashely makes her friend Geneva a special pair of wings for her fairy ‘Aurora’, anxiously presenting them to her on a magical day out.

“You can’t be sad when you have fairy wings on” she speaks only truth
True 👍❣️
Very true. WAIT NOW IVE GOTTE THE IDEA TO DRAW MY FAV CHACS AS FAIRY
Very true my friends
@Bulletproof_Animationz127 go ahead lol
This has to be true, without a doubt
A "bubble date" sounds and looks like such a pure thing. What lovely women
Yess
She's happy and that's all.
elsyasa yes yes yes
period.
🤸🤸🤸🤸
Beverly Korte yess gymnast kween go off😳✌️
Yess that is all matter. She is happy and thats it. Can people just mind their own business instead of bullying her....🧚♀🧚♀🧚♀
We’ve seen fairies, vikings, mermaids, aliens, witches, dolls, demons, Barbies, Kens.... you people out there are goddamn amazing.
Jackson Frost don’t forget elves, elves are great too.
AND ELVES!
yes they are amazing in their own ways
just so unique :)

It's rare to see someone like her in this channel
She isn't obsessed or delusional
She loves what she does in a healthy enjoyable way
True!
Exactly 💙💙
😂😂😂😂😂
It's a breath of fresh air and the only reason I clicked.
Nope. It's delusional. It is a prolonged coping mechanism which she has decided to cling onto.
Nothing like having some good clean fun!
yessssss!
yessss... its such a relaxing thing and i feel so safe.
My name is Venetia like ur username
i am almost certain people like this that have found what they're truly passionate about are some of the purest and kindest people you'll meet
I couldn’t agree more!!!
Good thing you said almost certain 😂
A few episodes ago one of the clown girls on here had a lil' scandal relating to racist tweets/ msgs
@@BuBs1970G i remember the racist girl. I think people who (only) want to express themselves through their style often have narcissistic tendencies. If a person's personality and character truly shines, they don't need fairy wings or other accessories. Strip them of their extra make up and fancy clothes and what's left is an ordinary person like you and me. They can of course dress up for fun, it's cute and not hurtig anybody. :) But they're not better or more interesting people because of it.
There's no one pure. Remember that.
@@BuBs1970G oh damn, i haven't watched that; but i do know that people like that can still be assholes ;w;
can we talk about how she is like the most wholesome and adorable human ever? like she dresses up as a fairy mermaid and makes fairy wings.
she reminds me of elina from the barbie fairytopia movies i watched as a kid as she was both a fairy and a mermaid 🥺
@@abbyrosie1554 relived that moment pls. It okay to live ur childhood memories.
I love how she’s made a small business out of it. Smart fairy 🧚🏻♀️
She’s a tinker 🧚🏻♂️
Mimi Xx oh my gosh that... that was such a smart response. Oh my gosh why am I so blown away.🤣
Loopity Doopity I tend to have that affect on people, lol jk 💕
Or Fairy Smart haha
facts!
I love this. She isn't delusional or unkind. She just seems like she genuinely loves it, annnd I don't see anything wrong with having a positive outlet in your life like this
She is actually adorable
She is not...
@@henryrollins9177 she literally is tho
@@henryrollins9177 she is! such a shame you have to be a hater 🙂
@@henryrollins9177 Well that's not nice
@@henryrollins9177 shut up she’s one of the most adorable things on earth
“Can’t be sad when you have fairy wings on” no no she has a point-
she does!
i am depressed and when i put on wings it got worse. it is your fault.
@@sullyxyz2137 uhhh sis wat
This girl I can get behind. She’s absolutely adorable and happy. Her wings rock and I hope she is successful selling them. We need more positive outlets in our lives
Me too, I want a set!
You can get behind? Is that an odd way of saying you support her ?
@Addie G.M. why? What’s wrong with those ?
@@misanthropic985 well duh
@@layla9068 Hello
Say what you want, but she looks so much more happy than most “normal” people today
She does! She's not a mindless sheep who follows the crowd
I too love all things fantasy, but wish I had this confidence.
I love this. She is so sweet too
Nope.
Would anyone happen to know how much they are paying at exotic market to capture this dragonfly lady. My friend muneer design traps for things with wings and sell them to Pakistani labour owners.
🧚🧚🧚🧚🧜🧜🧜🤸
@@jblasutavario9549 yes
Are you also disabled?
People like them are literally the best kinds of people who give me hope for humanity.
Same
It must be so joyful.💙
They're so cute. I wish I had a bestie to blow bubbles with.
Same. !
same
😘💕💕💕
Ssaaammeee 💕💕
ahh same :')
she doesn’t seem like she’s in denial of reality like most of the people on this channel, she seems like she just has a hobby not many other people have
My little sister always wanted to be a fairy when I showed her this she was so happy.
Ur a wonderful person
That’s so cool! It’s so sweet
Cool!
I want to be a fairy
@@Ctheflyingturtle 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Okay I always wanted to live like this as a child, and now I'm wondering why I never have... I mean why not live out my dreams? It looks so fun!!
Go for it!🥀💕
Ashley is absolutely adorable! I love how crafty and creative and bright she is!!!
Looks like Talita Destefani too? At 0:05
I wish we can be all creative all ;w;
"I want to be a fairy when I grow up"
People: good luck with that
*becomes a fairy*
She doesn’t hurt anyone so 🧚🏼♀️🤷🏻♀️
Yeah agree
nah, she hurt me lol
Exactly. She's not hurting anyone.
@@Romaniac935 How ?
Yeah agree
I like this because it doesn't seem like it's an unhealthy obsession for her, and it's just a way to get a break and be goofy with your friend; everyone needs that!!
I feel like this would be a great way to cope with PTSD or other such mental illnesses
Its a great form of escaping from every day life! Especially in the times we live in now
its actually my coping mechanism
I don’t exactly have ptsd but I have social anxiety and a bit of an upsetting past. I do use alternative style as a coping mechanism and it helps me let out my inner thoughts through what I’m wearing. When I decided I wanted to dress a certain way I felt like I found myself and felt more comfortable in my own body.
@Honeydreams_cosplay♡💜
I hate to be a snoop, but I was looking through your channel to see if I could find what alt fashion you wear, and I had no luck. BUT your vocaloid playlist has a ton of my favorites in it, I couldn't help but tell you that you have great taste haha :)
THISSSS
The only “hooked on the look” episode where I actually support the main person
So u didn't support the young black woman who held the Guiness World Record for the largest afro?
Same
They have one about a mermaid too. You might enjoy it if you liked the fairy.
I might commission some wing to put on my wheelchair!
I didn't even think of that! now I want to do the same
Wheelchair... More like WINGchair.
That sounds cute 🥺❤️
ThAts a great idea. The wings she makes are really pretty.
Good idea! Good luck!💕
I'm jealous of this girl, she's got a great hobby and some really nice wings
Doing things u loved in your childhood is a good cure for depression and anxiety
I love watching old cartoons from the 80s a big part of my childhood and it does help with anxiety and depression👍
I need this fairy in my life
I want her to keep saying "Hey! Listen!" to me
When you see someone talk about something with passion and love in there voice/face. You take your time to listen to them.
Seeing someone talk about what gives them that happiness makes my heart happy.
We would all be so lucky to find it in our life.
The custom-designed wings are lovely. I could see there being a high demand for such things, and not only among those who cosplay. There's also children's dress-up, Halloween and other costume-party occasions, theater productions.
As a witch I will protect her at all costs♥️ so cute and pure
SAME!
Please shield me at hard times... Life has been okay so far... i don't want anything bad to happen to my family❤❤
Likewise, and Blessed Be!
Same!
my mom is a witch and she protects me, and im kind of a fairy.. i wonder if witches are supposed to protect fairies, or just feel it in their nature somehow. and yes, protect her at all costs!!
I just love the idea of meeting in the forest for a bubble day.
Never been able to say this on a video before, but OH MY GOD I KNEW THIS GIRL AND HER HUSBAND IN HIGH SCHOOL. They were super nice and chill then too! 💙
funny.
Yeah you and other 200 people knew them, right
Whether you believe her or not is up to the individual but like.. do you think the people in these videos just pop into existence and not have actual lives or something?
When I was little, my nana used to tell me when I saw little reflections hiding in corners in the house that it was a fairy named thistle...
That's adorable
Awww
Who doesn’t love a fairy 🧚♀️ 🥰

@@pulloutsange HAHAHAHAHA
@@pulloutsange I CAN'T BREATHE
@@pulloutsange lol I mean you aren't wrong! 🤣
so glad to see her hubby supportive of her and her business!!! he is blessed to live out their fantasies together!!! BE BLESSED FOR A LONG AND HAPPY MARRIAGE!!!🥰🥰🥰
To the people asking, “What is she doing?” She should say, “I’m living my best life.”
Yesss
She legit looks like she would be the best friend to hang out with at fantasy gatherings! I love how much time and effort she put into her outfits!
She magically grows a fairy-wing business out of her passion. That is cool! My passion is laying down. I wonder how to make that into a business. 😅
When you find out please share!
I know one way to make money laying down.... if you know what I mean 😉 I’m kidding!!!! 🤣
@@mrsyoung8503 there is one way, the "ancient way", but I am afraid it crosses certain norms. 😅
@@laurac86 Are you talking, the "ancient way", but I am afraid it crosses certain norms. 😅
You can become a "professional hugger"
We lose this as adults..my fellow brothers and sisters I pray that you wont only keep your childlike enthusiasm toward life but that you keep your ability to enjoy and have excitement toward ADVENTURE without apology or worry for the judgement of those who refuse to do these things. God Bless!!
This is absolutely fantastic! I think dressing up as a fantastical, mythological creature is awesome and would be tons of fun.
Can you imagine what a world this would be if everyone followed their passion. 💕🌿 a world of happy people
Well some people's passion is to harm others
She's one of the most sweetest person I've ever seen. She's so happy and everything. I hope that she's enjoying her life.
“I am obsessed with all things fantasy”
Anime watchers: we feel you.
My exact toughts 😆
I need friends like this we have a bubble day in the forest 🌳
yeeeees we need it!
ikrrr
@@anastefan2709 then we can be friends!
@@cryptical1210 ☺️
LETS GO FOR A BUBBLE PARTY!!!!!
She’s so wholesome, I’d love to have a friend like her.
I should make her on Sims!
simmers unite ❤️❤️
Awesome!
Kendra Holbert I love sims
....Can I play with you guys?? lol this looks so fun tbh and I appreciate that she knows this is a healthy, balanced coping mechanism. She isn’t delusional or having an identity crisis. This is something fun she does that helps her to stay positive 💙💚
the most wholesome subculture out there
Okay at least shes not drinking gasoline. She's sweet and selling her wings that she made. I'm not mad with this one. ❤❤
"makes me forget about the atrocities of humanity" yep yes pls
I love it when I see people dressing how they want. I dress like it’s the 70s everyday🤟
She is so sweet, kind & beautiful! I’m so glad & happy for her that she found a positive way to get through dark times. As a recovering drug addict, I’m constantly looking for creative ways & ideas to turn dangerous thoughts/feelings around. I don’t necessarily want to be a fairy 🧚🏼♀️, even though it looks fun & she looks stunning as one. Still, she inspires me to search my creative side to find positive paths.
Try focusing on a healthy lifestyle: cooking, exercise, hiking, yoga, meditation, classes, reading & therapy. For creative things try: painting/ drawing, crafts, journaling, & photography. Getting used to being apart from bad influences/people was the hardest, I had to learn to love being in my own presence before I found new friends. 14 years of sobriety for me this August, I'm wishing you many years of good health & happiness ❤
When she said you can't be unhappy wearing fairy wings, you just can't, I felt that. I want to try some fairy therapy.
I love this so much. I love fairies and all things mythical, pastel colors, and cute too. I love that she’s being herself in a world full of people who think you have to suppress your creativity as you get older
Same!
Her and her friend dressed up as fairies is the cutest thing ever! ❤️
Well atleast she's doesn't ruin her face with plastic surgery
So true
True
that's what I wanted to say
plastic surgery isnt 'ruining' your face unless your changing absolutely everything
Even if she did, why should you care?
This lady is definitely living her best life.
This is my favorite one so far! Those two should have their own channel, they’re adorable!
I just love how this generation is doing their own thing.
Very artistic way to deal with the mounting stress of our times. Continue creating and be happy.
I love people like this, unique personalities and have a positive outlook on life.
It's so sweet to see two people just being happy.
Agree 💞🌸🌼🏵️. Good idea
I love how she doesn’t care about wat people might of said to her but follows her dreams no matter what
Her hair looks GREAT.
IKR XD
Ikr? I would LOVE to have my hair that blue but it's too dark 😅
You can tell these people aren’t trying to identify or make a career out of what they like to do, there just so kind and innocent. It’s so sweet and pure ✨
her animal crossing town must look so cute!
This is sooo cutteee
Thistle for president 2020
I'm voting!
Biden Approves your message.
Even though I'm canadian, I'll vote for her too!
She is living her BEST life and I love it.
Thistle if you ever see this YOU ARE STUNNING AND SO LOVED
I love how she’s doing what she does! It’s so amazing that she’s helping other people feel themselves like her and wants to share that happiness with others 💫
I wonder how much is a pair of wings.
i checked her etsy they’re 50-120
80-200$.
Wow
My clown self really wanted some
Not anymore
@@maddymaddymaddy. How come?
MOTHMVN price range ;_;
Something like that really makes people happy...And it gives people a true happiness...
This is just so wholesome and sweet.
She's seems so sweet and is very talented. Now I just want to dress as a fairy and have a bubble day with a friend.
*sees wings*
Me: does she sell them?!
Her: I make fairy wings for people
Me: YESSSSSSSSSS
I love this video it was very wholesome
I love the moment when she presents her friend a set of wings and her friend gets excited and turns around to have them put on her💕
They look so good in their fairy looks. Gives me magical girl anime vibes
I love seeing adults dressing up and playing fantasy and just living their best life having fun, this lady is awesome! Amazing wings. Haters can go choke on some fairy dust.
I loved that she pushed all her hair back before starting her makeup
I love when friends like these find each other.
Really talented making those wings♥️
"I feel like healthy coping mechanisms are few and far between." SO TRUE!!!!!! I love that. This made me want to have a day with my (30-something) friends doing this! I feel inspired.
Also I paused the video at the beginning and said out loud, "Girl better be sellin' those wings cause they are STUNNING!" I couldn't relax till I heard her say she sells them. Thank GOODNESS!!!
She's having fun. Thats the main thing. I would love to have a costume like that.omg the wings are gorgeous.
They're so cute! I love people who are courageous enough to live the way they want without caring what others think and how powerful to use it as a way to heal from depression or trauma.
I think this is AWESOME! WONDERFUL!! I see how happy this makes her!! I wish I lived next to her, cuz I could belong to this group!! Dream on...
To your heart's content!! 💕
Me too! I need friends who wanna dress like fairies and have a picnic
She reminds me so much of the art they drew for a book series I loved when I was little. It was something like "Laurell & the Fairies" and her outfit, wings & hairstyle would fit in so perfectly with that universe.
"Thistle is everything I want to be in my real life"
Dear, just be it.
Just be it.
You are it already
She is soooo adorable !!!! Such a beautiful and healthy way to overcome sadness and be the best version of yourself
Legit saw this video and my first thought was "omg that's so cute"! Live your life how you're happy!!
I wish I had people like that living near me. They’re so happy and cute! 😄🦋🦄🧜🏻♀️🧚🏻💗✨🌙
Watching this made me so happy, I love her energy and those wings are stunning
She’s so true to herself. Why wast life being somebody your not?!
Emma Freemantle exactly because as a 20 year old young man that I like to dress up as bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls as I quite liked it since I was almost 18 in possibly January 2018 but in February 2018.
I like her style especially her room it's so magical 😍
I love how hooked on the look really shows people's personality and how different people can really be and I love that
LOVE THE WINGS!! They’re so pretty😍
I totally understand the need she had to kind of escape reality and it really sounds fun, she channeled her energy into something good. 👏🏼 awesome
It’s sad how some people in the comments and many in real world don’t see the whole situation and label everything and everyone that does something different for themselves delusional.. this is clearly a healthy hobby and career and I love that for her!!
