So your updates are at 2/3 AM for me, and my body is very attuned to this. On the days my favorite stories update I automatically wake up at 2 AM and have a little reading session before going back to sleep, which I really love doing. Except, last night I was really tired so instead of waking up, I dreamed that I woke up and read the new Underline the Blue chapter and my brain constructed a whole chapter.

Anon I beg you get some sleep thoughhhhhh

(But also this is incredible aslkfjasd my brain doesn't give me dreams like this my brain gives me the equivalent of like 'naked in highschool' dreams but instead it's like 'I put up a chapter but it's the final chapter and it spoils everything and also I'm naked in highschool and somehow everyone knows that too.'

Of course Catherine Morland falls in love with the charming, kind Henry Tilney who's unlike any man she's ever met and who's the kind of person who she didn't think existed outside of books. But the great thing is that Henry's equally enchanted by the completely ordinary Catherine, because she's something that's totally unfamiliar to his world. They're equally mythical to each other, and in finding each other they upend their ideas of what they thought the world was, and they build a new world together, and that is peak romance.

*NEW* Mini Enchanted Forest Wreathes 🌿💕🧚🏼‍♀️

[haennsche]

the Aur forest

It looks so much better when you don't have instagram cropping everything

Anyways, here is my first attempt at painting the Aur forest

I'm really proud of it but I wish it looked more... ancient? magical? Idk but something is missing, like, rn it's just some random, kind of magical forest (that is still pretty!) or maybe this is just a part of the Aur forest I haven't yet explored in my mind, who knows..

Fae Feasts.º

Unlike humans and all creatures of this world, they don't need to eat to stay alive. Everything they need to survive is in the mana from the air, the greenery, the bodies of water, the Otherworld, they don't need anything else. But the fae still eat, for pleasure, out of boredom, curiosity, to get closer to humans, who knows. Because they eat, they also hold feasts. And what feasts they are. The most delicious food you'll ever eat, the most you ever danced, the most fun you ever had, you'll experience it in a fae feast.

It's unlikely but not impossible to come across a feast held by the good folk. The fae abide to the rules of hospitality, so any human who wanders to one of their festivals or feasts is more than welcome to participate in them and enjoy themselves to the fullest. All should be fine as long as you're careful with what you say and do, right? Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that.

It’s so easy to lose track of time when you’re having fun, and time in the Otherworld doesn't work the same as in this world. Some who are taken in the world of the good folk never return, while others return far too late. A month in the Otherworld can be a day in this world, just like three years in the Otherworld can be three hundred years in this world. The human body will naturally apart the moment you return to this world if too much time has passed.

But just because you returned from the Otherworld in time doesn't mean you're safe. The food served at these feasts is the most delicious you'll ever eat, but no one is sure why that is. Maybe it’s because they had an eternity to perfect their recipes and ingredients for them. Or maybe it's just something simpler than that, and they simply don’t follow the rules of this world. Some say that it's actually because they have a little bit of fae blood in them, granting the dishes the same addictive qualities as the fae. You get to taste all you ever wanted, all your needs are met with a single bite, you get your fill of 'true' happiness and every bite is as delicious as the first one.

What matters is that eating their food will cause you to go crazy or starve to death because you will lose taste for all regular food. Nothing will ever compare to the food you enjoyed there, the music you listened there, the dancing and fun you had there. You've become a husk of your former self, wasting away or going deep into the forest, hoping to come across another fae feast. But it'll never happen, it's a once in-a-lifetime experience only.

Of course, that doesn't mean all food given by the good folk will doom you. If a gift is given in reciprocity, if it is paid (though they'll never ask for something in exchange), all should be fine. If there's an equal exchange, it should be fine, right?

The rules of hospitality: When a friend, enemy or stranger enters your home, you are expected to be gracious and accommodating to them until they prove, by their words or actions, to be undeserving of such hospitality.

Fae as a vice: There are levels to how alluring and addictive they can be, from a banshee that makes people run away in terror, to an each-uisge who appears as a docile and beautiful horse that makes children want to pet it, to a leanan sídhe who makes her lovers live a short but inspired life, to the gancanagh (the love-talker) who appears as the ideal man for his victim and only needs one touch to render them instantly, insatiably, and irreversibly addicted to him.

First one is his usual look second one is his glamored look to look like an elf which honestly isn't a huge stretch lmao
