If you have a fairy blog or just post about them occasionally, please pass this post around so I can follow everybody in the fanbase!!

Here from asktheneverfairies.

I wanted a clean slate so this is my new Disney Fairies blog. I can’t wait to be an active part of this fanbase again!

[asktheneverfairies]

It’s official, my friends. This is where I’ll be posting from now on!

[asktheneverfairies]

(Ask Part 1) How long do you think faires live for? And do you think they die when someone stops believing in fairies? I was just watching The Legend of the Neverbeast and Tink mentioned she could have died when the tree was about to fall on her - so fairies can die under other circumstances. Here, my original theory of a fairy only dying when someone stops believing might fall apart (unless both happen?)

(Ask Part 2) Then brings into question how fairies age and why/how we have fairies that seem older, like Queen Clarion, Fairy Mary, Fairy Gary, Dewey, the staff at the healing center, etc. I always imagined that the older fairies lived because the children whose laughs brought them into existence continued to believe as they aged on "the mainland".   I just have a lot of questions and headcanons I need to discuss about Pixie Hollow and fairy logistics 😄

1. Fairies can live for hundreds of years, because they don’t physically age, but they can die of other causes--illness, injury, disbelief. Specifically hawks, snakes, and wasps are noted as threats to them because they could easily be eaten or die from attacks by those creatures. Fairies do die from humans not believing in them--it’s something touched upon in the books.

Queen Clarion hit her 400th arrival day in the Bake-Off short, and she’s the longest-living current resident of Pixie Hollow, so they are living hundreds of years at least. But...apparently it’s unlikely to live for a thousand years, based on the NeverBeast’s tragedy stemming from the fact that nobody will be there to see Gruff again when he next wakes up? So I don’t know how they can be biologically immortal but still have a life expectancy unless it’s just that the chances of dying by some other means are that high if you live long enough.

2. The fact of some fairies appearing older than others (mostly in the movies rather than the book series) is questionable based on what’s said in the series. Fairies are supposed to have an eternally youthful appearance. I guess when it came to the movies, they just wanted to portray the characters who were wise and in leadership roles and probably have been around for a long time as having a mature appearance because that’s how people easily understand it.

I like your idea, though, that the fairies who seem to have a visible age to them are ones whose laugher grew up holding onto their belief in fairies!

I mean, obviously if you're having personal difficulties and think that deleting/scrubbing this blog is for the best I fully support you, but I'd love to see it stay up even if it's not active- tbh I just come by and browse sometimes, it's a really great DF resource and I'd hate to see it go. Hope you feel better soon <3

Thank you for that message. You’re right, it’s probably best to leave the blog up, whether I decide to continue posting here or on another one!

[asktheneverfairies]

i used to play pixie hollow game a long time ago when it was still active. discovering your blog brings back memories of when i would re-watch tinkerbell movies.

I love that feeling! I keep thinking about the fairies lately and it warms my soul.

[asktheneverfairies]

I have another WIP. It’s an idea I’ve had for years but never followed through.

The coloring and everything isn’t a set choice yet--I just wanted it to look polished enough to share so I slapped one on!

(and @stardust-time i would never post something fairies + taylor without tagging you of course)

[chiptunecreature]

With apologies to @asktheneverfairies.

(original post)

[asktheneverfairies]

I can’t believe I never saw this post I’m gonna cry

[asktheneverfairies]

okay but i can’t decide whether to make my new fairies blog a sideblog to my new personal, or its own account...

[asktheneverfairies]

I haven’t been doing well...for a while. over a year. I don’t want to get personal because it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, but why this is relevant to this blog is that I was thinking about how much of a comfort this series and fanbase has always been for me, and I want to return to it in some way.

maybe i’ll marathon the movies and reread the books, and maybe if i decide to post about df on tumblr again, it will be on an all new blog, a fresh start.

[asktheneverfairies]

Hey! I was so happy to find an active Disney Fairies blog, I thought other people stopped liking that a long time ago!! What's your favorite Fairies medias? (Like games, books, movies)

I first got into the series when I was a kid with the books, so those will always hold the biggest space in my heart! But I love the movies and games as well.

The activity of the fairies fanbase is dwindling compared to the past, but there are still fans out there if you can find ‘em!

[asktheneverfairies]

What even is Pixie Hollow/Fairy Haven's population? Is it ever established?

The exact population is never stated--all we know is that the Never fairies number in the hundreds. The intros to all the chapter books explain that in the Home Tree “live hundreds of fairies and sparrow men.”

There are also never any references to there being as many as a thousand or more citizens of the kingdom, so as specific as it gets is that they number anywhere between 200-999 to classify only as “hundreds.”

[asktheneverfairies]

hihi !! it's a rather old edit, but i stumbled upon your zarina gifset and was wondering if it'd be alright to use it as icon/header combos (with linked credit, ofc!)

thank you for asking! sure, you can go ahead and use them.

[asktheneverfairies]

I am just about ready to write a fanfic or ten. Especially about my OTP, so rest in peace to everybody else but Tinkerence just hits different than everything else

I’ve had a few different ideas over the years that I have never gotten to writing, but I wonder which one would be the best to start with.

[asktheneverfairies]

I wanna do something fun. Send me your RAREST Disney Fairies ships. The most rare of all potential pairs.

[asktheneverfairies]

I’ve been having dreams just about every night and I don’t think they’ll stop until the DF fanbase is revived.

The Disney Fairies renaissance is coming, folks. Believing is just the beginning.
