The Thief of names.

In a time when people are better able to spot fae creatures, everyone knows not to answer "May I have your name?" with their real name, for fear that they will literally take it. You, a mere human with no magic, are in the business of stealing names for fairies. How do you do it?

human bodies and the many ways that they're weird. a guide by technoblade.

/dsmp /rp

dream and philza have flat faces, and little noses that don't connect to their upper lip at all. they have round, stunted ears on the sides of their heads, and teeth that are barely sharper than a deer's. they're omnivores, like we are, but we're much better at bitin' than them. they have no tusks and no claws. they look a bit like furless piglets, but they're kinda alien-lookin', too. their feet are flat and skinny.

dream and philza have thin, pink lips. they're plush and warm, and more expressive than piglin lips. phil chews his when he's focusing, and dream's will twitch when he's annoyed. humans see something romantic about lips. they use them to kiss, and even touching them with your hands is seen as intimate. they'll touch their lips to my snout or my hands or my forehead, and i know it's a big deal to them.

dream and philza are upright, bipedal, and have musculature like a piglin, but they're small and hairless. mostly. dream has a mop of course fur (he calls it hair) on his head, and phil's is straight, golden, and silky. there are little tufts of fur above their eyes, too, and on some other spots across their bodies. a light covering on the legs. between their size and their nakedness, they're always pretty cold. i used to ask phil all the time if he wanted to move to a warmer climate, but he never did. he doesn't mind wearing layers. they both feel safer in layers, i think. that's my running theory, anyway. if i were that small, i'd probably like it, too.

dream and philza have long, elegant eyelashes. piglins like those, too. pretty common sign of beauty in most species, i think. human eyes have a broad color range, and theirs are particularly bright. phil's eyes are icy, haunting blue. dream's are a deep, wild green. i've never seen colors like that before coming to the overworld. the sky, the sea, the forest.

dream and philza are way too small, way too delicate. i'll cup dream's face in my hand and know i could break his jaw if i squeeze too hard. i'll rub phil's sore shoulder and sometimes just hurt him more. they'll crawl on me when i'm in bed and they weigh less than some of the dogs, and if a limb gets caught under me when i roll over, they'll yelp.

there's a spot at the base of dream's neck that, if i nibble at it with my front teeth, he'll squirm and push against me and make all sorts of cute sounds. most of phil's feathers are sensitive, but you can be rough with the soft ones near the base of his wings, and his eyes will flutter closed. they both like when i run my fingers through their fur hair.

i imagine fairies are a bit like this, honestly. recognizably beautiful, but tiny and a little... off. bright and vivid; a creation of this colorful world they're from. two little fairyfolk who decided to love a beast like me.

Why doesn’t your toy folk or fairyfolk ai have a tv tropes page

No one's made one yet. If I ever get one, that's when I know I made it big. 🥲

absolutely horrifying implication that the Lightwarden Fairy King will eventually break through the mental defenses of the other fairyfolk and control them, especially following the very early reveal that pixies can traverse the lifestream to other reflections - the Sin Eater problem would go from 'worse' to 'absolutely fucked'

Saturday Releases: All-New Stories by Nicola Kapron and Annabeth Lynch!

This week, we’re welcoming in spring with two very nature-oriented tales: one of the forest, grown wild and out of control, and one of the creatures that play amidst the fireflies during a hot summer night.

Dead Man’s Bells by Nicola Kapron

Dark Fantasy, M/NB, Demonic Possession (Voluntary)

The vines were alive. They writhed like snakes as he ran a hand over them. As one, they untangled themselves from the shrouded shape of the spear. A few even dropped off entirely and nudged at his ankles. Underneath, the weapon gleamed with the soft, wet shimmer of fresh growth.

Around it, he could make out the silhouette of something that was almost human. Luminous green eyes. Roots wrapped tightly into the shape of arms, legs, musculature. Foxglove flowers blooming in the hollow of a throat.

A forest demon persisting long after it had been cut down and sanded into a useful shape.

Beautiful, Liam thought. This feeling might be awe. If he didn’t need to keep moving forward, toward it, he would have fallen to his knees.

For a moment, the ringing paused, and the vines slowed in their movements. “I am not dead,” said the voice that wasn’t his own. “You did not kill me. Even like this, you cannot tame me. Raise me, and I will live again.”

Follow Liam as his life intertwines with that of the verdant growth possessing the basement of his family’s manor. Read Dead Man’s Bells now!

Away With the Fairies by Annabeth Lynch

Modern with Magic, Siblings and Family, Fae/Fairy Kidnapping (Consensual)

“Why do the lightning bugs only fly up?” I asked Linda.

“Not all of them do. But this kind produces light as they fly. They’re sending signals to the others,” she said, coming to look at the ones I grabbed. “They’re telling each other things with the lights.”

“Like what?”

“Like what kind they are, or if they’re boys or girls, or whether they want to have babies. They talk by flashing. That’s why they blink.”

“What about that one?” I pointed at a fast-moving one. “That one isn’t blinking at all.”

Linda looked at the one I pointed at. She watched it for a long time, waiting for its light to blink off.

It didn’t.

What have Linda and her sister Suzy found amidst the fireflies (spoilers…it might be in the title…)? Read Away With the Fairies and find out!

had some insane dreams about some reality-hopping body-hopping the oa s2 meets madoka tragic lesbians (tragic because their meetcute is one of them human sacrificing the other in a movie theater full of other reality hoppers. their date was a fairyfolk consent under false pretenses kind of trick)(but then human sacrifice follows + haunts her through realities, sometimes remembering, sometimes not) and in my dream that's what the locked tomb was and i was finally reading it and undersood why people said it was so complicated. so imagine mfw i woke up and remembered the skull faces,

“Rowan Berry Caramels are made with crimson fruit of the European rowan Sorbus aucuparia - the most important Faerie tree to The Tuatha Dé Danann. On Samhain, they held celebrations amongst Fairy Palaces (stone circles, cairns, and earthworks) surrounded by rowan. They are said to have brought the rowan tree to Ireland as they believed it to be the Tree of Life and consumed the berries for its gifts of immortality and healing. In the tale of the Rowan Fairy Tree, we learn that “ the maid who eats a berry gets all the beauty that should be hers of right” and "a woman who is old and eats a berry from the Fairy Tree becomes young again". Which is as good a reason as any to concoct these Rowan Berry Caramels!”

"two little fairyfolk who decided to love a beast like me."

now i remember the "fashion" drabble, and while i know techno was playing up his piglinosity for laughs i kinda assumed he was happy with his "general appearance" (obvs this last part could mean as something more internal...) kinda flicked me in the forehead imao

then again i wouldn't think dream or phil would have ones looks be a deal breaker, dont kno about phils preferences but i just hc drm being attracted to anyone that could kick his ass lol

techno's definitely the type to say "step aside for the next einstein" after he misread a recipe. so like. you know.

but Actually i think that techno would have some mixed feelings about his looks. he's handsome by piglin standards, but the culture shock of living with humans would be a lot to deal with. we use "pig" as an insult for people we find unattractive, after all. pigs are used as, like, the Ugliest animals in our stories. besides the obvious dehumanization he faces and the in-your-face butcher army metaphor, he'd also have to deal with the way that humans view him. while he maintains some of his pride in being a handsome piglin and he loves his muscle and fur, he knows that he's monstrous by most people's standards.

BUT maybe it's the monsterfucker in me, but if i'm able to look at piglin artwork and think they're handsome, i feel like philza and dream would be able to, too. and ur right, dream especially seems attracted to strength more than, like, Beauty per se.

"So... what do you know about fairyfolk?"

Throwing her arm over Eddie's shoulder, Clari tried to make it seem like the taller man could be tucked into her side. This was obviously not a thing she was capable of.

She gave him a grin, a stage whisper leaving her lips. "They are tricksy little bitches and they smell funny. Like, I smell like Ozone, but at least it smells clean... and not like severe swamp ass. As long as you play to the line of their rules, you shouldn't have to worry about them. But, for real, don't ever give them your name unless you really want a new one... And that is a shit-ton of paperwork, my guy..."

She paused, "They also can't fight for shit."
