#the 🧚fae🧚 tag

[the-bee-graveyard]

I need you to be unhinged with me about these being potentially kitty quotes.

Especially the idea of Ty saying, "He hates me. All I do is love him, but he hates me. He just hates me, I don't know why."

Like EXCUSE ME???

#5 and #7 better be Kitty and if #6 is Kitty I’m going to have a mental breakdown what is wrong with CC why the fuck would anyone write that

Faerie Book Recommendations🧚✨📚

So reading Sarah J Maas and her very, very shitty interpretation and (under)utilization of fae lore is inspiring me to create a personal list of books I've read that I feel like have like... ACTUAL faeries and folklore in them (not the normal-looking-hot-folks-with-pointy-ears-and-MAYBE-wings brand of faerie SJM popularized), and are actually worth your time

And if you've any books, stories, comics, etc. that you'd want to add to this list, feel free to add them in the comments, reblogs, tags, or my DMs!!

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland

Very eerie fairytale vibes that center on the aftermath of the disappearance, and even more mysterious return, of three sisters when one of them goes missing again almost 10 years later. And also the writing is legit just B E A U T I F U L!!!

Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

This is chock-full of classical faeries and folklore, and almost reads like a textbook about them since this is about a woman, the titular Emily Wilde, traveling to a Scandinavian country to complete her own encyclopedia about the fair-folk. It also features some lowkey cottagecore vibes and an academic rivals-to-lovers romance!

Gilded (Gilded #1) by Marissa Meyer

A retelling of Rumpelstiltskin that reads like its own dark Grimm's fairytale, and it's as eerie and grim as a YA fantasy novel can get. It also centers on themes of telling stories and folktales since the main character, Serilda, is infamous for spinning wild tales - which is what leads to her encounter with the famed, and feared, Earlking (who, as a villain, is so sinister and creepy - and utterly FAE!). Personally, this book wasn't really my cup of tea and I'm unsure if I'll read the sequel, Cursed, however it still has some classic fae vibes that SJM's work lacks, so it deserves a place on this list!

The Changeling by Victor LaValle

I'm using the term 'faerie' very loosely here, as the idea of changelings (and trolls), for me, is more of a narrative device to help us look into grief in fatherhood. But there is still a very strange, vaguely Pans Labyrinth-esque urban fantasy vibe playing in the background throughout!

Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom

Not necessarily FAERIES but more of mischievous and distrustful woodland folk - and also forest gods. Very heavily steeped in early colonial America era folk horror vibes... if you love media like Robert Eggers' The VVitch then you will ADORE this book! Also Brom's accompanying artwork is so, so beautiful! This is honestly such a perfect fall-time read once Halloween season rolls around.

Legendborn Cycle series by Tracy Deonn

Ok no faeries but... mixes classic Arthurian legends with southern Black beliefs while also telling an epic urban fantasy story centering on themes of grief, trauma, and prejudice. So no fae, but LOTS of great urban fantasy vibes (which I mean... if you're looking for more series to put on your shelf instead of Harry Potter......) Just... Please... just... this series... it's so GOOD!! IDK what else to add that hasn't been said about this series!

Direwood by Catherine Yu

Once again, not necessarily faeries in this book but instead vampires that have a very fae-like quality about them! (as well as blood-hungry butterflies and caterpillars hee-hee) The story as a whole feels like a whimsical fever dream that is STEEPED in tasty Gothic vibes! It sort of has the feeling of being in a late '90s/early '00s Goth music video.

Like Falling Stars by Avalon Roselin (@roselin-books-official)

A story about a girl who's forgotten her past and comes to develop a sweet friendship with a brooding ice faerie prince, and is brimming with so many cozy fantasy vibes!! Also all the fae characters in this novel are so colorful and lively, and they're all very heavily tied to elements and the seasons. Also ALSO!! The main relationship focuses primarily on platonic love as opposed to romantic, and is just as endearing! A perfect cozy winter/fall-time read.

Netvor: A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast by @rosesnwater

Both a completed novel and an in-progress webcomic available to read on Tapas and Webtoons. Again, another story where major themes center on storytelling and fairytales, but also recovering from trauma and grief! There are so, so many classic faerie vibes, and even featuring pinnacle figures from classic fae lore like the Goblin Market, and it manages to feel equal parts nostalgic and unique in its use of faerie lore!

Dandies in Danger podcast by @dandiesindanger

A table-top RPG podcast instead of a novel! It features four queer men that are dragged into a world of fae and horror, all while set against the backdrop of Regency era London. It starts as a VERY eerie fae mystery (featuring figures like Titania and Oberon), but it slowly becomes a dark, horror historical-fantasy, and it's great! Also art by the podcast's creators is so good!

So these are the recs I have to offer for now!! As always, feel free to add more recommendations!!!💛

[yanderecandystore]

hey, that jerk albedo strikes me as a tsuntsun. since i have no good taste for people, i wanna maybe request Al being a softie to his human darling in an alternate universe please - 🇧🇷

"- I have no good taste for people." Honestly, me.

Tsum tsum is awesome, but I prefer Yan tsum cause I'm a hoe-

Absolute mood, honestly- I wasn't sure if anyone would like him but honestly?

That's- Awesome actually! Sure thing boo!

TW/Tags: for the sake of my own sanity I'll make Albedo like- 6/7ft tall cause in the oneshot I imagined him as like- 5 inches tall (and the Reader as 3 inches tall-) // tsundere asshole alert (secretly a softie acting like a douche-) // gender neutral reader // be aware of the fluffy danger // [🧚💐🍄]

🍭꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡🍮꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡🍰꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡🍮꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖🍭

"- You're not the center of the world." [Tsundere!Fae OC x Human!Reader - Headcanon]:

This man is a lot of things. Beautiful, paranoid, an asshole and a person secretly looking for love. Albedo is a genuinely romantic person but he is so tired of fake love and stalkers, he has grown to be bitter towards most people, even those that had done nothing against him.

That could be another fairy trying to get in his pants, or some random human randomly deciding to be friendly with a creature they know nothing about- With the last option being, of course, you.

Some stupid human who entered the woods probably looking for some thrill in their lives- Maybe trying to finish a quest, maybe just lost and trying to walk through the forest as a shortcut, or maybe just someone inexperienced with nature trying their luck in the woods and almost getting trapped into a fairy ring because you didn't pay attention.

I doubt you would have left your guard down while walking into a well known fairy forest, you probably tried your luck into getting a pretty fairy to get you, which just the thought alone made Albedo gag- The idea of a human wanting to sleep with a fairy sounds repulsing to him yet he is aware of the existence of some of these ungodly creatures.

Just the thought of someone like you stepping into his ring made him feel disgusted, which led him to give you a severe wake-up call about how you're in fairy territory.

"- You're lucky I warned you before you had set yourself as another fairy's plaything- Considering how dumb you are to not even pay attention to the ground, I probably have saved someone else from the trouble of having you stucked with them." He scolded you over and over again- Although honestly, you weren't paying full attention-

The shock of a sudden fairy coming out of nowhere just to warn you about your mistake in the most verbally aggressive way imaginable took over the fact he was saying something really important. You took more time to look at him and observe his features than to actually listen to what he says-

Tall, lanky body; butterfly wings that reminded you of a monarch butterfly, but instead of being orange they had a mosaic rainbow pattern to them; dark straight hair; white irises and black scleras. He was clearly mad at you for being naive and not listening to him at all- But you didn't really care because you were still hypnotized by his looks and too shocked to formulate a defense for yourself.

It's not really your fault if you had fallen into one of their traps, since technically you would have been the victim of their doing, yet you should have paid more attention to your surroundings though. It doesn't matter what you were actually looking for inside the forest, because Albedo will have taken you out of it the moment he sees you're not even paying attention- The woods are too dangerous for someone who has their head in the clouds.

When you got the chance to notice what happened you were already in the edge of the woods, the exact direction of where you came from, as Albedo has already flew away, before you could say anything to him before being obligated to go back home.

Still, you didn't finish whatever task you needed to complete inside the woods, so you went back the next day. However, you couldn't do much since he was constantly pestering you, he was surprised you came back yet he was still annoyed at your foolery.

He considered walking away multiple times, but he felt guilty knowing that you would eventually get hurt if he wasn't there.

You managed to ask him a lot of things about his fairy life, while he got to save you time and time again from the magical wildlife surrounding you two.

You didn't get to find what you were looking for, so you had to go back home to take some rest, you gave a goodbye to Al yet he didn't reciprocate it thinking it was too intimate, and that he never even considered you a friend to begin with.

You went back day after day, going through the same routine, not being successful in completing your task. Still, you had an immense amount of fun each day you came back, being protected by someone so grumpy was sure a lot more fun than you expected it to be.

He was mean and rude sometimes, to the point you had to call him out for it because it felt like he was crossing the line.

"- I'm not like you, I know that, but me being a human doesn't make me any less special than you." You pouted, feeling aggravated because of his constant comments about how low humans are compared to the likes of him.

"- It's not…. It's- It's not what I meant-" He tried reasoning, but couldn't find the right words to apologise.

Even if he didn't properly apologize, he did try to make it up to you, confessing that maybe he is just a bit insecure, especially compared to someone who seems so mysterious to him. You come here everyday to do something he doesn't really know what it is, yet feels really important since you keep trying each day to reach it, maybe he envies that perseverance a little more than he thought he did.

Even after you thought you two were very acquaintanced with one another, it seemed like you discovered more and more of this puzzled man and his bitterness. He wouldn't have told this to any person unless he really considered them a trustworthy friend, yet he considered you to be a really important person to him at this point, so he decided to tell you about the events involving him and another fairy.

Although he has his own way of exaggerating while telling the story, you understood what he was trying to imply even if he was being really vague. Another fairy had gotten weirdly obsessed with him, and even after being told "no", they kept stalking him and doing things that terrified him. He said that even after they were gone, he felt awful remembering the event.

You can't really imagine what type of creature would be so devastatingly evil to make Al so scared.

You showed him comfort, you showed him kindness and you showed him forgiveness despite him being so rude to you. It felt like the first genuine friendship he had in decades yet it also feels like more than friendship.

Even after you find what you were looking for, he hopes you'll still visit him. He hopes you'll stay, even if he doesn't know your name at all- Which is probably for the best-

He won't stop being his sassy mean self, but he will be a bit sweeter to you, waiting to the day he can repay you for giving him these wonderful moments you two shared.

It kinda pisses me off how everyone's talking about how this is "the golden age of queer reprsentation" or whatever, and everyone talks about how many queer shows, (and movies if you count Red white and royal blue) are popular right now. But it's only really mlm representation or mlm centric content. Like Heartstopper, Interview with a vampire, Our flag means death, Good Omens, and Young Royals are all mlm centric shows, and sapphic shows usually either get canceled or they never reach the kind of popularity. I think the only one I can think of is Arcane and I think that's because it's got so many other moving parts that are so fantastic snd interesting that even the straights love it. And Cait and Vi's relationship isn't really overt yet, so to speak.

And the thing is we all know why this is happening. We all know what this is about. Or at least I thought we did. But when you bring this up you often get people being like, "oh stop causing conflict between wlw and mlm!" Or "stop trying to pit queer people against each other!" Like.... no I'm not doing that, I'm pointing out that misogyny and lesbophobia exist.

Honestly I am literally begging queer men to care about sapphics for once. Like please acknowledge that misogyny exists and we are affected by it. Please acknowledge that the way we are percieved and treated is different from you because we experience the intersection of homophobia and misogyny.

Sorry for ranting. I'm just so tired.

Never apologize for ranting!

Well it’s undeniable that queer representation has gotten better over the years, we are nowhere near in the golden age of queer representation! Where are the lesbians, the trans/non-binary characters, the poly characters?

And yes we have shows like Yellowjackets and Arcane who have main character lesbian rep and haven’t been canceled and are quite popular, they still haven’t reached the levels of popularity of mlm shows.

I’m very happy for my mlm friends for finally getting the representation they deserve! I am only hoping that wlw can see that kind of representation for themselves.

I'm re reading rw&rb in preparation for the movie and I forgot how painfully ADHD Alex is in a way that just aches sometimes. Like it's not just funny or quirky, it's painfully real and raw and sad.

Like,

"He tells his too fast brain: Don't miss it this time. He's too importent."

I literally just reread it yesterday too I was thinking the same thing. And when June keeps saying he has a fire under his ass for no reason. Some of the best ADHD rep I’ve ever seen and I don’t think he’s even canonly has it

Sorry I think this is like the fifth ask I've sent you but there is more Ty being bad at math rep in GOTSM and I'm living! He has his timetables written down in a notebook, presumably because he cannot do them on his own, and I guess shadowhunters aren't allowed to use calculators? Idk.

Here

This sends me because I used to do the exact same thing in elementary school before I had a phone with a calculator on it.

THANK YOUUUUUU

STOP TRYING TO PUT TY IN YOUR LITTLE GENIUS AUTISTIC BOX HE IS BAD AT MATH AND I LOVE IT AHAHAHAHA

The story of us by Taylor Swift is such a kitty song from Kit's pov and I can't believe I didn't realize this before.

I haven't seen any asks going around for Spotify wrapped this year but I'm curious, what's your 17th and 26th song?

17 is But Not Kiss by Faye Webester and 26 is $20 by boygenius

What is your 11th and 54th?

I was thinking, it actually makes way more sense thematically for the main characters of stranger things to be queer. Think about it, if the show really is supposed to be about being a freak and the social outcast main characters are juxtaposed against the popular kids and the vigellante mob hunting Eddie for being "deviant" ...... I mean.....like it feels like a queer show no?

Not to mention Will being the first person to get taken into the upside down, and I feel like such an idiot for not noticing this connection sooner, but James Somerton pointed out that Will getting infected by the mind flayer could be read as a parallel to AIDS. Anyways the show just makes more sense if the mains are queer and it's a queer story on my opinion.

@the Duffers gimmie your show I'm smarter than you!

The setting of the show, the characters all being outcasts, the queer undertones in just about every aspect of the show- the show literally does not make sense without the main characters being queer! Like so much of the show revolves around them being queer!

Duffer brothers sign over your show now please

Hot take of the century but I'm right. I think Mickey Milkovich is autistic.

Hear me out.

He is very low empathy for the most part. Very direct and blunt with his communication, misses a lot of social cues or just doesn't care about them, is very emotionally avoidant and withdrawn/not good at talking about his feelings and seems to lose his temper very very easily at times.

I realize that a lot of this is probably due to ptsd/cptsd and/or trauma because a lot of the symptoms are basically the same just caused by different things. But as you know, those things are not mutually exclusive. And idk I just relate to him so much as an autistic person.

Also he stims! In not obvious ways like running his hands over his face and hair or rubbing his finger across his lip. Which are still stims. Growing up in the environment he did, he would have had to mask HARD.

And I keep thinking about that thing I brought up from that video I saw on autistic headcannons. A lot of autistics, particularly white men mask by putting up a facade of aggression or coldness to keep people from getting close.

This actually makes so much sense wtf???? I love this????

In season 10 we see him struggling with not being in control of the wedding planning which is totally on point with the need for routine and to be in control. His stimming is something I’ve always noticed but never really connected to stimming before.

I’m totally on board with autistic Mickey I think this is great.
