I’m tired of fae romance where the faerie guy is just a guy with pointy ears, make that man a freak from the forest. Make him look like a forgotten pagan god. Give him a funky tail or something. GO NUTS!!!!

[ixmelodix]

I know I've been basically radio silent on here, oops >> I've been working on Rising Star, promise! It's just a bit slower going than Champion because things in my life lowkey exploded.

The reason why I probably won’t make many relationship charts would be the levels of simping these 4 would have towards Y/N Cookie in the chart. Not just these four, but any cookie with a chart for Y/N Cookie, which is a majority of them.

White Lily Cookie >>> Y/N Cookie: “A very, very, VERY cherished friend. I’ve..never felt this way towards a cookie until I had met them...”

Mercurial Knight Cookie >>> Y/N Cookie: “I feel at ease when I’m around them.”

Sliverbell Cookie >>> Y/N Cookie: “The warmest heart I’ve ever felt..”

Elder Faerie Cookie >>> Y/N Cookie: “You are the soul made for me and this land..and its bright future.”

I love the concept of faerie being tied to nature, like TIED TIED. none of that "oh im a pure flower goddess that looks like every supermodel ever with a flower on my head" NO faeries are hairy they are wild they are beautiful they dont give a SHIT dont be a pussy draw your fae with hairy legs and pits draw them happy with themselves because they have no human standard to uphold

See, I personally find this quest to find pagan/pre-Christian elements in Welsh/Irish literature quite unnerving - I don't know about anyone else.

There's something to be said about genuinely discovering pre-Christian elements in a narrative or story and that being where evidence and study has led you. But I see some people on this fruitless quest to find pagan elements in very Christian texts and sometimes it feels like if no pagan elements can be found, people start making stuff up out of whole cloth - and that can be very dangerous for already not-well known texts in minoritised languages!

There's already so much misinformation out there about Irish/Welsh texts and literature in general - so it hurts to see people carelessly adding to the misinformation either out of ignorance or lack of respect for the source material.

I promise you the source material being Christian doesn't ruin it - you can in fact, enjoy these myths without making them into something they're not!

i would have seen the reply if you mentioned me in it there but this works too! :)

i can only do music as like soundtrack weirdly, i have a very hard time doing general vibe playlists like shipping playlists - the songs to me always refer to a particular moment in time. don't know why that happens byt it works very well for stories lol

@ixmelodix YESSS, if i listen to music at all while writing I SO DO THAT TOO same song that inspired me to it or relates to the part i'm writing or that fic in general, on repeat for 8 hours if that's how long it takes lmao

sorry about the mention, i don't really know how to tumblr but i thought replying to my own post wasn't gonna achieve what i meant to do dsfkj

also on a more general note, maybe i should share my erisol playlists some time what, did you think i had any for any other ships

[the-letterbox-archives]

i am an artist by no means, but the combined muses of AURORA and nova from @ominous-faechild’s faerie’s dawn was too much for me

and, according to barlowe, the most canon-compliant drawing

⚜ FAERIE'S DAWN EXTRAS ⚜

So, I figured it's about time I should explain this (though it's been floating in the back of my head since I started Faerie's Dawn, haha)!

You might notice there's some variation between how I use fae, faerie, and faeries as well as archfae, archfaerie, and archfaeries! I'm here to explain the differences!

Yeah. This is about grammar. 😂

(Everyone proceeds to run for the hills lmao)

So, while I'm a writer and a grammar nerd, I'm the type of grammar nerd who kinda just slowly “figured out” things and knows them “by feeling”. I don't actually know the official words for this, but I can still explain the general concept for it? And then maybe someone more learned can correct me lol

“Fae” is used when talking about a group of unknowns, the individual's identity is unknown, or when it's referring to “faekind”—faeries as a species.

(“Fae” is also used when directly talking to a faerie whose name isn't known. Consider it as a sort of “sir!”, “ma'am!”, or “you there!” Similarly, it's a “that man”, “that woman”, or “that person”. It's a flexible, gender-neutral term used by the fae.)

“Faerie” is used when talking about a faerie whose identity is known. That's why Nova is a faerie, not “a fae.”

“Faeries” is used when talking about a group of faeries whose identities are known. That's why Nova, Cloud, and Sky are collectively “faeries.”

Aaaaaaand... it gets way more complicated for archfae. Especially for me, who usually goes by “vibes” with grammar lol. BUT HERE WE GO!

✨ARCHFAE✨

“Archfaerie” is used singular, when the identity of the archfaerie is known... and they're being referred to as an individual, not as their role.

“Archfaeries” is plural, when the identity of the archfaeries are known... and they're not being referred to as Archfae.

(Stay with me now lol)

“Archfae” is used a few different ways:

singular, when identity is unknown

plural, when identity is unknown (aka, generally speaking)

as a title.

Yeah, so, remember how Kilrey was referred to as Archfae Kilrey? “Archfae” is a title, referring to their status as an archfaerie who rules over a dominion.

“Archfae” is comparable to status roles such as “king/kings”, “duke/dukes”, “god/gods”, “governor/governors”, or “president/presidents”. The capitalization rules follow a similar system... which I struggle to explain lol.

Like, yknow the difference between “god” and “God”? “Archfae” works the same way lol.

(Grammar is hard tho and rules like this make me struggle to distinguish whether I should use “archfae” or “archfaeries” half the time lol. Shot myself in the foot here.)

note: this is not a hard and fast rule as for how the terms are universally used, but how I decided they're to be used within my writing and worldbuilding.

fat bodies are so fucking beautiful. Like we really are God’s most divine creation I think.

[ixmelodix]

Ohhh are the fics still being continued?

they are! planned, anyway. life's been kicking my ass and i haven't had energy/motivation to write, but i promise i haven't forgotten or abandoned it <3

[ageofaquarius-fic]

Hey everyone, faerie here! I'm doing some reorganizing, as you can see. From here out, this is the new home of everything Age of Aquarius, and ixmelodix is turning into a main blog for myself :)

I'll still reblog anything important posted on here to ixmelodix, though :)

[wikitpowers]

oh my gosh i am actually away to cry

“both of them know these are romantic feelings” :’(
