Isn’t “fairy”. Short for “fair folk”, already a polite name for them?
Not superstitious but have heard so many stories about the fairies I don’t know what to think
I don’t fuck with fairies, will teach my kid the same. Fairy trees, fairy forts etc, just stay away. Silly superstition? Probably. Taking a chance? Nope.
Still tell my kids bout Fairy Trees
I don’t fuck around with that shit, have heard too many stories about them off people. Was at my nans (moms side) the other night and it was getting dark and she told me to close the curtains cos the “other crowd” as she calls them will be passing from the fort above her farm to the one below in the next farm during the night and doesnt want them to be drawn in. I was told growing up by my grandfather and father to call them the fair folk, good people or the lordly ones never to call them fairies as it’s insulting to them.
Modern Irish parents be like:
‘And just don’t call anything a fairy anymore, call them “stories we put on tshirts to sell to the yanks” because a member or ally of the LGBTQ+etc. community, might misunderstand you and put a curse on you and you’ll wake up canceled…’
They doing well in moden fantasy.
Get vexed lol.
My Irish mammy calls Michael D a fairy. Is it because he’s a good person?.
So disappointing when I wake up dead in the morning.
Really puts a downer on the morning Barry’s (don’t hate me, I buy what I know, and I have no idea about other brands)
