I’m about to sleep but: the fae are beautiful...but “beautiful” is not an objective standard. In the fae community you can track a pureblood’s age and homeland by their appearance, because each is hauntingly beautiful by the standards of the mortal culture beside which they came of age

This is an extremely cool concept and I'm way into it but I also immediately got distracted by thinking of the most 80's bombshell movie starlet fae with like the giant bleach blond hair and everything

Holy SHIT I need it

/sticks them in neon leg warmers

oh my god yes

anthropologists and fashion historians fucking love fae for this exact reason

Brought to you by October Daye, where I love it but why are they all skinny and sharp-featured? But

Well, a nonzero amount of them are shapeshifters.

That doesn't explain the ones that aren't, though, yes.

yeah but the "human" ones are all inhumanly pointy

and I think it's cooler if not all fae are skinny bitches

Agreed.

I dig it.
