This describes my childhood if by fairfolk they mean
Every full moon I strap a steak to my chest and go whistling through the woods at night. Real werewolf hours
A year or so ago I was cutting through the park after dark and I heard strange flutes and music coming from deeper inside. Was probably just buskers or whatever, but I wonder if it was the fay and I should’ve gone to check it out.
The fey are actually satire of how normal people thought of feudal courts. It’s all stupid esoteric rules that make zero sense to normal people, just like the courtroom.
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels. Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. Elves are glamorous. They project glamour. Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment. Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
I’ve stepped into every fairy circle I’ve ever seen and ain’t shit happened it sucks.
