YALL. Holly Black has a list of resources she's used for writing her books on the fair folk. I'm OBSESSED. I love her work and world building. it's so true to the heart of faeries

[void-botanist]

Some other resources that might be worth checking out (not strictly about faeries but related):

The Corpus of Electronic Texts, or CELT, a collection of Irish cultural materials. This includes English translations of Irish myths.

Mary Jones - similar to CELT, and a resource we used for translations in the Irish mythology class I took in undergrad.

An Encyclopedia of Fairies by Katherine Mary Briggs, a British folklorist.

The Folklore of Cornwall by Ronald M. James. Unfortunately this book is harder to access and is often only in university libraries, but if you're interested in piskies it's a potentially very helpful read.

Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall by William Bottrell.

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

British Goblins by Wirt Sikes is THE encyclopedia of Welsh faerie mythology

[msshadowqueen]

Eris is one of the only people who can keep up with Nesta on the dance floor, Bryce is a dancer, Lucien as a courtier can certainly dance, Gwyn and Azriel can sing songs for Nesta to dance to, Nesta is constantly compared to a queen and Helion wants her (Rhys too but he’s in denial) and Lanthys promises to crown her the queen of queens, Nesta loves reading and so does Lucien, Tamlin canonically has a giant library and so does Helion, and you’re telling me Nesta ended up with…that.

[unhealthyfanobsession]

What did you gain, Nesta? “The life of my sister and her child”

And what did it cost you? “Literally nothing the narrative has made it clear I am just as powerful if not moreso somehow? Idk just rolling with it!”

[alpacaffe]

Not Nesta just gaining without having to sacrifice anything, while Amren is now powerless and stuck in a body she's disgusted by

[greenlanterncrops]

here are a few things that could help if you’re looking to get into comics because it’s very confusing at first (and every moment after)

the dcu guide lists characters’ appearances in chronological order

comicvine lists every appearance of a character

comicstorian is a youtube channel that summarizes comic arcs/character origins in short, easy to understand videos

lornahs has a lot of good character reading lists, dc & marvel

comic book reading orders has reading orders for almost all events & characters, dc & marvel

r/DCcomics’ wiki has a large recommended reading page & a newbies section for people looking to start reading for the first time

comic book herald has a list of reading guides as well as a where to start with current dc & a beginner’s guide to comics

the dc database has a recommended reading section

comics back issues has a list of reading orders as well as their guide to comics for new readers

and if you’re looking to get into lanterns, be sure to give my own, comparatively puny rec page a look!

good luck!

[connerkent0-deactivated20191217]

I hope it’s okay to add something but DC Cosmic Teams pretty much helped me a lot to get in their… cosmic teams, obviously, and some others. Especially Legion of Super-Heroes, New Gods, and JLA’s branch teams/members.

hold up im reading more about the lionfish thing and this one island in Honduras has had such a huge problem with lionfish that the measures they have taken include

• getting special exemption from the Honduran government to allow divers access to harpoons and spears which are otherwise illegal in fishing

• public campaign to teach people how to prepare and eat lionfish (apparently they are very tasty once the poisonous spines are removed) (but watch out)

• holding lionfish combination hunting competition and cookout (reportedly they killed and cooked 1,700 in a day) (someone killed 60 of them with a rubber band spear gun???)

• most recently and apparently out of desperation, the divers in charge of culling the lionfish in the Roatan Marine Park just started. feeding the lionfish they killed to sharks. bc what else are you gonna do with it

• the sharks don’t seem to notice or be affected by the poison and begin hanging out with the divers

• the sharks then were seen hunting and killing the lionfish on their own

like this is nuts to me sorry. the sharks just had to be shown “hey this is food, did you know?? you can eat these!! here try one!!” we are possibly altering an entire foodchain bc we like feeding the big ocean wolves

[kazieka]

here’s the article please read it

[supreme-leader-stoat]

I know it's because they're invasive but it's hilarious how many different ways human have come up with to send this one fish in particular to the plinko.

[squidbulborb]

So based on Disney's Aladdin, can you draw Aladdin and Jasmine as an older married couple please? You can design or decide on the outfits theyd wear. What do you think?

Sultan Jasmine and her husband

[alpacaffe]

Everyone knows Aladdin is THE male wife, while Jasmine rules the kingdom looking hot

[vidalinav]

I think it’s time to read my own fanfics again.

[alpacaffe]

Not a jab at you I swear, but I've always wondered if fanfics authors went back to read their own stuff and then be like:

"Ugh this is so good! Where is the rest of this? How come theres no more chapter- Oh, right"

[alpacaffe]

Cassidy: Rules are made to be broken.

Charlie: They were made to be followed. Nothing is made to be broken.

Susie: Uh, piñatas.

Jeremy: Glow sticks.

Fritz: Karate boards.

Gabriel: Spaghetti when you have a small pot.

Cassidy: Rules.

Charlie:

[alpacaffe]

Elizabeth *Screams*

Cassidy: *Screams louder to assert dominance*

Charlie: Should we do something?!

Susie, eating pizza: No, I want to see who wins this.

[alpacaffe]

Elizabeth: Dandelions symbolize everything I want to be in life

Susie: Fluffy and dead with a gust of wind?

Elizabeth: Unapologetic. Hard to kill. Feral, filled with sunlight, bright, beautiful in a way that the conventional and controlling hate but cannot ever fully destroy. Stubborn. Happy. Bastardous. Friends with bees. Highly disapproving of lawns. Full of wishes that will be carried far after I die.

Fritz: edible

[alpacaffe]

Elizabeth: If I'm really as evil as everyone says I am, then have the gods strike me down where I stand.

*Lightning strikes Scrap Baby*

Elizabeth: Ha! Nice try, jackass! Next time, give it your A-game!

[alpacaffe]

Jeremy: Wake me up…

Gabriel: Before you go go!

Charlie: When September ends…

Cassidy/Michael: WAKE ME UP INSIDE-
