Original Post

Original announcement:[1]

Hey everyone! I love October and Fall so, so much, almost as much as I love Clexa. So I thought - why not sprinkle a little Clexa over my pumpkin spice latte this year?? What do you say fandom? Can we get Clextober going?? We can have all things Clexa with the spooky vibe of Halloween or snuggly Autumn feels. Reblog or send this post out to anyone you think will enjoy!
