Two identical infants lay in the cradle. “One you bore, the other is a Changeling. Choose wisely,” the Fae’s voice echoed from the shadows. “I’m taking both my children,” the mother said defiantly.

Well well, it looks like it’s time for a spectacle. That’s right.

It’s time for the fair again dears, and I’m hosting it this year.

For nearly 6 years, it’s been tradition to host a little get together for people of all types and worlds to interact. And this year will be no different! And what’s the fair without a chance to let some people show off and have their own stands?

I’ll be accepting up to 10 people for fair staff. Be it games, food, prizes, or showmanship, do let me know if you’d like to be staff!

And as for guests, I’ll be accept up to 20. Every staff member needs someone to come by their booth, after all.

Of course, these limits are for the main get together with a little thing called Discord. I imagine most of it will be there. But if you’d like an excuse to interact here, well I won’t stop you, and there’ll be no limit! Just let everyone know it’s for this fair with a tag such as … “Melodis Fair”, hm? Or perhaps something better; do feel free to send me ideas!

The date isn’t set yet, but the current plan is for the fair to be early to mid April. The fair itself will be be a full week to get all your delightful carnival fun, and the grand finale will be on a Friday. I’ll keep you all posted on the set date when it settles.

…

Hm? Saturday and Sunday? Well, I don’t think anything would come of the days following the grand finale, but you might as well keep those two days open as well. Wouldn’t want to miss anything fun, would we? These events do tend to overflow.

Now, if you want to be any of the above mentioned 30 people, read the rules, fill out this form, and be aware you must send your discord. You can send it through the submit box or through a discord message, so long as you fill it out.

Keep reading

Safety and protection with fae

I personally love the fae, but I know many people would rather stay far away (and of course it’s very important to know safety guidelines whether you do or not!) so here’s some information I’ve collected.

From many different sources:

Never use your real name when interacting with fae, or they can take control over you

Always be polite and respectful and do your best not to offend. Remember, better safe than sorry

As a general rule, don’t eat food when visiting the fae realm. This will make you a captive, unable to leave, and often the food isn’t as wonderful as it may seem, and only glamoured rocks, mud and sticks. (It’s said faeries will take offense if you don’t accept food they offer to you in our own world though)

Do not think yourself more clever than them or try to swindle them; you will end up in very hot water

You may not want to accept faerie money.. as again, it is often glamoured and will turn back into leaves and acorns soon after

Do not blindly intrude were you are not wanted (fairy rings, sacred faerie places, etc) Always ask first and respect their answer!

Should you find you’ve wandered into a place where you feel strong malevolent energy or evil presence and experience “faerie terror”, back away slowly, don’t run or you might get lost. Send out your good will, and if you can, throw up a bubble/egg ward to protect yourself

Do not to take the fae lightly or seek them half-heartedly. Take care not to act as if they were weak, harmless or lenient. It is very foolish to underestimate them. Faeries are not strictly good or evil (neither are humans), and respect and caution are always best

Salt and iron (tools made from iron, a nail in your pocket) are traditional faerie deterrents

Three leaf clovers can be carried as a protective charm, and four leaf ones can break through faerie magic or allow you to see hidden fae (note some traditions say you should have multiple clovers as each will only work once)

Wearing St. John’s Wort will give you strong protection from faerie magic

As will wearing a daisy

Carrying a rowan twig, or hanging one over your door, that was collected on Betaine may bring protection

Flipping your clothes inside out can prevent faerie mischief by its unexpectedness

Visualisation wards can be effective

Scatter primrose petals outside your door to keep faeries at bay by creating a barrier

If you hear bluebells chime it is a warning that danger or faerie enchantments are near

Putting a daisy chain on a child is said to protect them from being taken as a changeling

Forget me nots can be used for faerie protection

If you’re friendly with any other faeries, you may ask them for protection against ill-willed fae

Faeries will avoid gardens with tomato plants

Make a bundle of twigs from the trees of the faerie triad, oak ash and thorn, and carry it for protection (it will only work if they’re bound together, if separate, they are an invitation to the fae)

One traditional faerie protection is placing mirrors throughout your home

Cats may chase away faeries

The sound of heavy iron bells and chimes may drive them away

Leaving out gifts of honey and milk can appease the fae if you wish them to leave you alone

What's the real thing the 3am text/creepy grandma at your door prompt is based on!?!? Please, I need details!!! 💙

A friend got a text from an unknown number that said “do NOT answer the door” during a sleepover, which was instantly followed by someone knocking at the door and an elderly woman calling out, asking if any of us had any honey to spare. Given the fact they lived up a crazy long driveway, surrounded by forest, and it was 3 am, it was pretty sus.

Our small group kind of freaked out, and naturally I was delighted.

It was at this point that I remembered we had gone shopping for sleepover provisions earlier in the day, and had mistakenly bought honey instead of syrup, and no one liked honey (there was much complaining). So I did a dash for the kitchen and snatched the honey, then rather gleefully bounded over to the door, much to my friends horror.

Sure enough, very old lady is standing at the door, looking like every grandma stereotype you’ve ever heard of. I looked rather manic myself, with what my friends called, “That freaky unhinged grin you do.”, and handed her the whole thing of honey, and told her she could have it.

She looked genuinely surprised and kind of straightened a bit, then got this glint in her eyes and started fighting a grin.

We stood there and bantered for a while as my friends freaked the fuck out inside, before she finally said goodbye, told me to “Keep making mischief” and then strode off down the drive with a walk that was very much at odds with her hunched “feeble” appearance from a few moments earlier.

None of my friends slept that night, and I took particular glee in making strange noises whenever they would start to calm down. I was always a little shit like that.

Never saw her again, but I was gifted a rather beaten looking metal (Brass maybe?) flute the next evening on the doorstep with a simple “Thank you” written on a leaf of all things. None of my friends wanted to go anywhere near it, and I still have it to this day.
