thank you for sharing!
No, pop culture makes them out to be stuck up, holier-than-thou cultural imperialists who occasionally make for a decent party member of fuckbuddy. :P
Or one other story I read that supposedly happened in Ireland in the early 20th century – some workmen get hired to remove a thorn bush from a construction site for a planned hospital. Locals refused to touch it because ‘the Good People’ had it under their protection. As the story has it, the men started to remove it when out of nowhere a very short man wearing green and red clothes (traditional colors for the Fae) appears and tells them to leave it alone. The workmen back off, save for one fellow. He laughs and says he’s cutting the thorn bush down. “And if you don’t like it, to Hell with you and every God-d*mned fairy in Ireland!”
In the legends you DID NOT curse the Fae, or call them ‘the Fairies’. The short man supposedly said that the mocker would regret his words before nightfall and vanished. The rest of the crew begged him to apologize but he just said he was going to the next town over for some beer. He leaves and is gone for much longer than he should be. When his nervous friends go looking for him, they find him in the road, paralyzed from a stroke. He died the day the hospital opened.
I don’t believe the story to be true like the person who told it to me said they did, but even as oral folklore it tells you how the rural Irish saw the Good People even as late as the early 20th century.
I so love reading books like Katharine Briggs Encyclopedia of Fairies. She collected oral fairy stories from some of the last traditional rural storytellers in England. Let’s just say that traditional fairy lore gets real dark real fast.
Well that’s technically why we got dark elves.
Just like normal elves! But not your friend.
They couldn’t do both?
Olden stories show that they are not your friends.
I mean to be fair, hey don’t exactly treat the hings that try to kill them with proper respect any other time.
At least this time its cute.
Only Flim and Flam.
