SICK AND TIRED

Welcome Home Fae AU Quick Concept

Mainly posting this so I don't forget it tomorrow. You can give feedback if you want! It is always appreciated! I researched as much as I could, but I am still not entirely sure if all fae live in the fairy realm (it probably depends on which country's version of fae folklore), but for the sake of this AU, all fae will reside in the fairy realm. I just couldn't find a lot of info on that specific topic, lol.

OKAY. So like... the Neighborhood is actually a place inside of the Fairy Realm and humans can only enter by stepping inside of a specific fairy ring. Since it is so difficult to find a fairy ring, much less find the exact one to enter the Neighborhood, it is very rare for a human to visit the Neighborhood. Usually, only other fair folk visit. The only human resident of the Neighborhood is Eddie, who forgot everything about his life outside of the Fairy Realm due to being trapped for so long.

The circular positions of the houses in the Neighborhood each match a mushroom or group of mushrooms in the fairy ring that allows access to their portion of the Fairy Realm. The size of the building determines how many mushrooms of that pattern will be the same and the colors of the building slightly match the colors of the mushroom that represents it.

Wally acts a bit like the community leader of the Neighborhood, making sure everyone does their assigned tasks and is in charge of events such as festivals, celebrations, and the likes. Home acts a bit like a living portal to the human realm, as well as a way to spy on the going ons in the human village nearby their fairy ring.

Most of the neighbors will try to get humans to eat food that they make. They will go as far as to hold little festivals whenever a human enters their world. Eating any food they offer you, however, will forever bind you to the Fairy Realm. This is exactly how Eddie got trapped in the Neighborhood. Due to most modes of transportation between communities in the Fairy World being too difficult or downright impossible for humans, it will inadvertently trap you in the Neighborhood, as well.

Main thing I have to do first is figure out which type of fair folk/fae everybody (except for Eddie, since.. well... he's human) shall be. Gotta research them to be sure I feel like they fit the characters as best as possible with the information we currently have on the Welcome Home characters.

[ID: eight shots from ‘revolutionary girl utena’ with excerpts from a mabel podcast transcript edited onto them. anthy kneeling over utena, her mouth to her ear as she stabs her through the back. text reads: ‘i am feeling uncharitable towards you, anna, with your average life, your average losses. what am i to you, really? what use do you have for me? i am not the only girl you have ever immortalized.’

utena lying face down on the floor in her princess outfit, an expression of pain on her face as her eyes well up. text reads: ‘why don’t you crawl back to your beautiful moment with your pretty teen magazines, your perfect lip gloss shade of normalcy?’

a budding rose bush growing out of anthy’s school uniform inside the duelling arena gondola. text reads: ‘you cannot love me, anna. i am thorns and mist. do you know that? do you know what i really am? or do you only want to matter? you told me that i made you matter. i could have been anyone then, couldn’t i? i could have been any girl made of your moonlit reflection.’

anthy clutching a red phone in the darkness of akio’s planetarium, her glasses lenses opaque white as though reflecting light from the projector. text reads: ‘you had your little adventure then, anna. you had your flirtation with danger, your flirtation with the abnormal, with anything that exists outside of yourself. i will only eat you from the inside out. i am death, silver and black, come to ruin you. do you still want me now? do you still want the biting thorns of me?’

utena paused in surprise, holding a cup of tea and eating a cookie. text reads: ‘i’m sorry. i’m sorry. you don’t deserve this. i just - push and push you, until you dissolve. i am a sharp and vitriolic thing, anna; you must be unyielding. or else all we will do is hurt each other.’

anthy and utena’s fingers interlaced atop a table. they are visibly squeezing one another’s hands. text reads: ‘i have no real desire for that. despite my outbursts, despite my cruelty, i have no real desire to ever bring you anything but feral joy. if i can’t, then i will let you be.’

a close-up of anthy clutching utena’s shoulder as she stabs her, her eyes narrowed behind slightly misted glasses. text reads: ‘out here, in the mist, i can nearly hear you. in the reeds, in the bushes. why must you make yourself the villain, you’ll say, and i’ll tell you, because it is my nature. and that’s that.

utena lying face down on the floor between akio and anthy, who clutches a sword to her chest. text reads: ‘i’ll sting you, anna, and you’ll drown. and -’ /end ID]

@avalonianrising

yea hi hello i wanted to join the fun too :]

so here are my least numerous modern breeds that i have! (don't mind that 7/10 of them are fandragons haha)

note: for the sake of consistency (and my own sanity) i counted the unfinished projects i have as if they're finished.

so! it would seem i only have 1 bogsneak, 1 imperial and 2 tundras at the moment. huh!

still on the less side but not as bad, i have 3 mirrors and 3 ridgebacks!

i don't dislike any of the breeds btw, that's just how this turned out. (i plan to get more of them actually! i'd like them to be more consistent <3)

i initially wanted to count separately how many M and F dragons there are but some of them have silhouette scrolls and i wasn't sure how to count those ones! oh well!

this was still very fun!!!!

[starboy-squeakers]

Again not a dungeon meshi reader/watcher but every time I hear about that laois guy I get reminded of how my system had/has a hyperfixation on dragons so intense that we got that big fancy dragonology book and we treated it like the damn dragon Bible for like years

Now, obviously, we understand that there's different interpretations on mythical creatures, and no one interpretation on a dragon is necessarily gospel, but that multiple interpretations on the classic tale of beasts of scale and fire are completely valid and to be expected!

however if you call an Eastern dragon a coatl I'm going to come to your house and slaughter your family

[dreamofbecoming]

hmmmm thinking about Names

tbh i rly love interpretations of fae True Name lore that focus less on “this is the name you were given so it’s yours” and more on “this name represents the person you truly are inside and that’s why it’s your True Name” bc like. those can change, yk? you can have a different True Name at different stages of life, as you grow and learn and change. and also it means you can have a name and a life that you love and embrace, and make that your True Name, or not. you can hold a piece of yourself close and never show it to anyone and keep your Name hidden, it’s up to you.

and i’m thinking abt a fae!jaskier who was given the name julian by parents who never understood shit about him, and who called him that based on the expectation of who he should be and not on who he actually was.

and you know he was a distractable kid, always running off and getting lost in the woods or falling behind bc did you see that cool bug? it was such a pretty color! he didn’t mean to miss supper he swears but he was trying to figure out what the birds were singing about so he could sing along. just endlessly curious and energetic and enthusiastic about life, absolutely unpretentiously in love with everything and everyone around him, and so very unbecoming of a noble child.

maybe he had an older sister, who was the only person who never expected him to be someone he wasn’t. she was the only one who loved him and understood him for who he actually was. maybe she called him julek.

when he left home he chose a name (not a Name) and a skin and a persona to go with it, and over the years he fell in love with being jaskier, and found a deep joy in it, but it was still a performance. still a face he put on every morning on purpose. because deep down he was still that curious little boy who just wanted to learn everything he could and see everything there was to see and be part of all the beauty he found everywhere. and there are similarities to that little boy in jaskier, in his enthusiasm and his gregariousness and his overflowing lust for life, but he isn’t quite the same person. jaskier’s focus is never on himself, always on others. making them smile, making them laugh, making them sing, making them come, making them give up their coin or their inn rooms or their goodwill to a witcher who they’d otherwise have cheated and stoned.

and when he travels with geralt, at first he keeps jaskier’s face on all the time. not out of fear necessarily, but just because people like jaskier, and only one person ever really liked julek. so he keeps up the performance, and it’s not much of a burden, because he does enjoy being jaskier, he loves bringing joy to those around him, and he especially loves making his witcher smile (not that he ever smiles with his face, per se, but he can see it in the way his shoulders sit a little looser when they sit by the fire together, in the way his eyes are a little clearer with every child who doesn’t run in fear from him and every alderman who pays him his due without a fuss. that’s as good as a smile, really).

but the longer they’re together, the more jaskier lets his guard down, until he’s no longer worried about keeping the jokes and the songs and the constant teasing chatter up even when he’s tired. until he doesn’t stop himself from pointing out the cool rock he found or asking geralt the name of a strange flower or singing along with the birds on the road, and he realizes he’s not afraid of geralt leaving him behind if he slows them down anymore, because he knows he never will. until he doesn’t have to think constantly about how to make his witcher happy, because he can do it just by being there. just by sitting quietly together in their camp, geralt tending his gear and jaskier composing, both totally focused on their tasks and comfortable in the other’s presence.

and that’s when jaskier realizes he isn’t jaskier with geralt anymore, and maybe it’s time for more than one living soul on the continent to call him by his Name.

and when he tells geralt he can call him julek when they’re alone, if he likes, he isn’t sure if geralt fully understands the gravity of it (they’ve never had an actual conversation about exactly what flavor of Not A Human jaskier is, after all. it just never seemed necessary), but he smiles slow like sunrise anyway, sharp teeth peeking out, and thanks him, and maybe that’s all he needs.

FIRST 20 ROLLS, BABY, LET'S GOOOOOO. about GODDAMN time this smug son of a bitch shows me mercy and comes home EARLY.

[pure-egotism]

I think spiritual and folklore things are so interesting tbh like I have so many stories I could tell from my own personal experience and people either think I’m crazy or just add their own experiences into the mix.

I don’t think I’ve ever posted any stories on here, but this one time in high school, I was sitting at my desk in my bedroom and I had gotten up to go to the bathroom. Not three minutes later, I came back to find a pristine feather sitting on my keyboard. I mean, it was pretty but just like a plain feather. And I was like “oh neat” and it wasn’t until years later when I started reading more about faeries that I was like “well I sure hope that never comes back to bite me in the ass.”

Not to mention the “prophetic” dreams I have where I’m like “this shit makes no sense” and then things happen and I’m like “oh…okay.” And every time I get a shiver up my spine a major event takes place within 3 days of the shiver. Or being able to predict when things are gonna happen at any given point.

Like I freaked my mom out as a toddler once because she heard me talking in the other room when it was just me and her at the house. She listened in and swears up and down that I was taking pauses in between what I was saying and answering (not just saying something else, waiting and then ANSWERING) and when she poked her head in and was like “Who are you talking to?” My three year old self just goes “God.” As if it was completely obvious, and to this day when people are like “Well, that’s good, right?” She’s just like “no, you don’t UNDERSTAND.” And I just think it’s really funny.

I just can’t tell you how many weird things have happened to me in life only for me to brush it off and go “that’s a problem for later me”

I like to think of sebek and frollo as the fae supremacist meeting the human supremacist
