A small scenario from my changeling au. Also my Yuu is loosely based off Elizabeth Grithiths.
TW: mention of injury and possible death.
Yuu is walking in the gardens of the school courtyard when they hear a small bell-like noise.
Plant fairy: *ring ring*
Yuu: oh hello, are you alright? You seem a bit frightened.
Plant fairy: *scared bell noise* points towards a bush that leads towards an old abandoned dorm.
Yuu: did something scare you over there?
The fairy nods and grabs her finger, leading her over to the fox where a small black cat-like creature is laying weak on the ground, small embers in its ears barely keeping it alive.
Yuu: oh no, the poor thing is barely breathing. Quickly, can you find me some tree sap, I’m going to take him inside to try and find somewhere dry.
The fairy nods and dashes off leaving a trail of fairy dust in its wake. Yuu glances down at the feline, letting out a mournful sigh.
Yuu: I hope your alright, 𝓖ǂഒ﹆.
hi there, I love the blog! I realize this is a super weird and specific question but is there any media out there which depicts creatures or entities that resonate stronly with you as being analogous to the Fae Folk despite not actually being meant to represent them? sorry if that's confusing!!
It is a bit strange, and quite specific, but I believe I understand what you're asking, and I actually think it's a pretty neat question. So many possibilities flow through my head that it's very hard for me to pin any one of them down, though, so I think I'll just mention the first thing that came to mind.
There is an anime called Mushishi I watched once upon a time, which essentially follows a sort of wandering Faery Doctor through the wilds of 19th century Japan as he finds and helps people with his skills. In this story, the spirits are called "Mushi", and one who deals with them is called a "Mushishi" (hence the title.) There definitely aren't any references to the Fair Folk as they are known through a European lens, but I remember thinking that the spirirts being dealt with by the protagonist felt more accurately akin to the Fae and their nature than the majority of the media I've seen referencing Them.
Any of my followers who have their own answer to this question are more than welcome to reblog with their own response!
pro tip: when dealing with the fae, put on a weird ass accent
"i owe you my life"
should sound the same as
"A oh yuu mee leef"
so when the fae tries to collect the debt... you can just reach into your pocket and offer a nice and crunchy leaf. Just As Promised. (:
if I bring a pack lunch to the fae world can I still eat it? this is a very much needed question
like does my sandwich become magic? is my apple suddenly an immortal apple that traps me in a different world? what about my water?
on a separate note would you be able to drink you're own sweat? like it sound absolutely disgusting and not healthy? but would I still get trapped?
so I'm coloring a tinker bell coloring book because I need to process my emotions in a low bit manner, and I'm coming up with some good concepts
faeries only have human skin tones when in prolonged sunlight. the skin tone each faery is canonically depicted as is their tan. faeries are actually green, due to high levels of chlorophyll. depending on the species, they have different colored sun spots as well
also fuck blond tinker bell, she looks better as a brunette
Haven’t done an oracle read in a while but this card came up twice today. Really showing how much of a hopeless romantic I am

Hello there!! So a few nights ago I was just thinking about how it's kind of ridiculous that we call Tamlin a tampon. Because a tampon is actually kind of useful, ykwim? And then I was like, but we needed Tamlin so that Feyre would go to Prythian. And then I was like, "Yeah, and you gotta throw away a used tampon cuz it gets toxic, just like Tamlin did" and idk if this was it, but that made me realize that this is it

Concept idea (other people can use this too):
A group of fae that are queer affirming (some are actually queer too) and the imitation fae (name stealing) of the group can take your dead name from you.
Taking your dead name makes them stronger without causing any harm to you, so it’s a win-win.
One of the younger fae isn’t an imitation fae, but rather a guardian fae who has an online shop with a bunch of pride jewelry (that can also be enchanted if the customer wishes). They’re Non binary and gave their dead name to their friends.
THIS IDEA GIVES ME SO MUCH DOPAMINE
I’m already fleshing out the character ideas >:}
if ur still taking requests for the doodle thing could you doodle a fox faerie? Like a fox w faerie wings or smth? Ty!
im always open whenever i get the chance! (arghggh i slept all day yesterday T_T)
ANYWAYS!! i was sorta inspired by stained glass for the wings cuz common/classic faerie wings always sorta looked like that to me XDD ngl im rlly proud of the outcome!! tysm for the ask :D
Epic art time!
Just like I am doing with Trollhunters, I'm going to do a lil rewrite/rework of the world for Epic. Plotlines and all kinds of stuff is going to change.
Anyways, not much to show, but I thought I'd share anyways.
Art below the cut.
First things first, my friend---who is also working on this au with me---didn't really like the helmets the Leafmen wear in the movie, so I just did a little redesign.
Not really needed and probably not going to stick, but it's Epic related, so it's included.
A random arch fae I sketched out.
I want to lean farther into the fantasy aspect of Epic, while still keeping it semi-grounded in the premise of life vs decay.
Solution? Dark fantasy with random other fantasy creatures sprinkled all around.
There's going to be nymphs (The flower people and the mimics of the story), Dryads (very few still around. They're saplings that faeries enchanted to come to life), and Naga (a lot of different reptiles and such). And of course Boggans and Leafmen/Jinn.
And finally, we have Dagda, Mandrake's head general and the heir to Wrathwood's throne!
Boggans are way more creepy and bug-looking in my redesigns so far. Dagda's mother is still a WIP but I'm pretty sure she's gonna be some type of spider Boggan. Dagda inherited her mandibles, and the extra eyes.
I didn't really manage to capture his canon personality very well in this headshot, but I like the outcome anyway. The skull needs a little bit of work, though. A little wonky looking.
Also, Dagda could totally rock the snakebites piercing.
That's all, hope you enjoyed 😁
THE START OF SOMETHING AMAZING
You stared into nothingness, tuning in the gentle sighs of the trees and the trilling of rain frogs, before comprehending the gloomy skies. Your breath in the petrichor smells and let the tepid breeze flutter through your now unruly hair—it was rather serene. You took your bags from the dampened ground and approached the aged cottage, your stomach was already churning with the feeling of anticipation. Your hand takes the knob and effortlessly the door gives away.
“It was unlocked!?” You thought, easing past the door and heaving as dust wafts you in the face. You glanced over the place, spotting the furniture that was covered by worn sheets. You grab a fist full of a sheet and jerk it away, unveiling a vintage sofa.
“Wow.” You awed quietly, running your fingers along the velvety cushion. You settled down on the edge of the sofa, trying out the comfiness of it. You then laid back and rested your head, pleased. Exhaling, you aroused from your spot and dragged your bags closer to you. You probed around your bags, fetching your journal and utensils.
You pulled the door shut behind you, giving it an extra tug to ensure the door stayed closed. You neared closer to the forest, stopping at the verge, and gaped up at the continuous canopy of trees. You had overheard many tales from your colleagues about this seemingly normal woodland, one of them being about a man who was drunkenly dared to enter the forest by one of his buddies. When the man reappeared from the forest, he was shaken with fear and his lips were trembling as his fumble out the same words incessantly: “it’s coming for me, that damned winged creature, it’s gonna fucking kill me!”
Your reasoning for being here wasn’t just to figure out what unworldly beings that the forest withhold, maybe you were considerably curious, but you wanted to discover an uncommon mushroom that was rumored by many of your colleagues. Its appearance is of an ink cap mushroom, though its color differs and is bluish with hints of magenta, and it possessed many healing properties. From what you read, it was given the name Polifious Pinian.
Even with those ominous stories being told, you were unbothered, and were ready to embrace whatsoever the forest threw at you so you could make that rumor true. Without a shadow of hesitation, you began your foraging. The fungi was known to grow at the roots of pines. So you lingered around them, inspecting their roots for any indications of spores.
The sky was already gloaming and thus far there were no indicators. Your shoulders slouched and just before you were about to return to the cottage, a glimmer caught your eye. You wandered over to the object, it resemble a tiara. It appeared to be crafted from limbs and leaves that protruded from the head piece, it was also accompanied by a pearl embedded in waned silver.
‘Swoosh!’
You Flinched, stumbling onto your bottom. “W-what the-”
Your eyes skimmed your vicinity, though you didn’t see anything but you could feel it. You slowly turned, your skin prickling at the eerie tension, expecting to see two other eyes but still there was nothing—not even an critter. You pushed yourself from the ground, snatching the tiara up, and darted in the direction of the cottage. Whispers then began to swarm you, clouding your senses in a way.
“Give it back, girl!”
You yanked the front door open, slamming it shut hastily, and yet those insistent words remained in in the back of your mind. You crouched down and you covered your ear with your hands.
“Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!” You repeacted, your murmuring voice coming to shout.
In that position, you resided trying to ease your pounding heart and shallow breaths. You raised from the hardwood floor and creeped towards the kitchen; taking a glass and filling it with water and ice. Your trembling hand brings the glass to your lips and you took couple of swigs of it, somehow it diminished the adrenaline and anxieties. You then sat the cup down and left to the bedroom, ending your night without being the prey.
