#leslie knope is some sort of fairy/elf person

[sweetfirebird]

So I was thinking earlier today about the Beings-verse fairies, as one does, and thinking about how I'd like to be a fairy. Not because of the fairy gift of truth, nor the beauty, nor the wings (though all of those would be nifty in various ways), but really because I'd like to just live on sugar and have that actually be good for me. I'm rambling, and a bit tipsy, and there's no need to share this nonsense, and yet I'm about to submit it anyway...

To be fair, ancient fairies did not live on sugar. Modern fairies do because sugared products are plentiful, and cheap, and they prefer sweet to other flavors. (And also none of them are rich so cheap food is good). They can, and actually should, eat other foods. They just really, really LIKE sugar. 

But fruit also works. They also love fruit!

And I think, as Flor says, older fairies tend to have slightly less sweet diets and tastes, and even Tulip likes bittersweet chocolate.

But yeah sometimes I do think of that scene in Parks and Rec where Leslie sees that an event has a Candy Bar where she can fill a glass with different candies, and she proceeds to do so and then eat it all with glee... and it just looks really good.
