About those fairies

[Fairportfan]

So i hopped over to Paul's EBay page. And there are some quite fetching images of specialised faries (not unlike Oognat, the Hair Fairy*).

However, a small detail in one of the images makes me a tad nervous about at least one of these fairies:

* Found about halfway down this page

Considering their fashion choices thus far, I'd be surprised if these fairies didn't experience cameltoe at least sometimes.

[Fairportfan]

You are a Bad Man.

I was thinking more along the lines of hooves.

Besides, that would more seem to apply to Pibgorn, considering that when she's in her true fairy form she is naked despite her green stripy "plumage" (or Dru, with her scales, but she's a succubus, not a fairy):

[MerchManDan]

"I'm Bad, and that's Good..."

But yes, I definitely see what you mean: Those tootsies have a distinctly cloven look to them.

[Catawampus]

Freckle faeries, eh? Is that the other type of faerie who visited Atsali, at a much younger age but apparently with just as much gusto?

And Jacqui.

[MerchManDan]

Oh man. It has been FAR too long since we've seen Jacquie & Luci (the latter is gracing the inside cover of my copy of "In The Shadow Of Doubt" though, so I get to see her whenever I like. )

Can't deny an affinity for that Bedhead Fairy, though. Humina humina humina.

[shadowinthelight]

Sorry, Bedhead Fairy is good but I have to go with Freckle Fairy 1.

Yep...and according to Paul (when I commented on Facebook that it's nice to see the fairy who loved me so much as a kid) she snuggles her "victims" in order to give them their spots. Have fun picturing that.

Well, who (aside from a few very dizzy spiders) wouldn't want to give little Atsali a big hug?

Rare indeed are the times I'm jealous of freckle-y folks.

Look at all the old legends and folklore. The Fae aren't always sweet and light...some of them are gruesome under that sugar sweet veneer. After all, there's a reason they tell you not to step through a toadstool ring...

Many don't even bother with trying for the veneer.

The Amadan-na-Brion wasn't sweet and light at all. Even more of a trickster than our Nudge, but in a thoroughly malicious way... his touch brought certain death, that not even the greatest of the Fae doctors could prevent.

Emma Bull's novel "War For The Oaks" gives a marvelous modern look at the Fae, showing the nature and power and limitations of both the Light and Dark Courts... and it's set in Minneapolis, no less! If you haven't yet had the sparkling pleasure of reading this wonderful story (and buying a copy of the Cats Laughing CD so you can hear her sing "For It All"), well, by Crom you surely must!

[Fairportfan]

Not only have i read it and bought the cats laughing CD ... i also discovered Boiled in Lead because of it.

Rasputin... a staple on the dance floors at the various Cons i go to. awesome song...

Serrated Edge and Bardic Voices by Lackey and others has sweet peeks into the Fae Realm, and for those in need of a laugh, there is Lady Cottington's Pressed Faerie book, Fairy Album, and Fairy Letters, by Terry Jones/Brian Froud, Good Faeries/Bad Faeries, Brian Froud, and Faeries by Froud and Alan Lee. World of Froud has a lot of amusing looks into the fae realm, Goblin, Troll, and others.

[Fairportfan]

Pratchett's Lords and Ladies.

Which includes some looks at Granny Weatherwax as a young woman.

Wording not warranted precise, but something along the lines of "...she had the look of someone who has figured out that they are smarter than almost everyone around them, but hasn't yet figured out that it's better not to let that show."

[shadowinthelight]

I keep thinking of the Supernatural episode Clap Your Hands if You Believe. Robert Picardo played a leprechaun from the fairy realm of Avalon. He was not a nice guy.

[MerchManDan]

Robert Picardo as a....a leprechaun. And I thought Howie Mandel as Mr. Mxyzptlyk was an improbable casting choice.
