🎁 - How do they feel about their birthday/birthdays in general? (For both and when are their b-days?)

🎁 - How do they feel about their birthday/birthdays in general?

Lark

Lark doesn't really pay much attention to his birthday anymore. He's in his 80s and doesn't really have anyone that would celebrate it with him. That doesn't mean that he has negative connotations with it at all. He just doesn't care much. His birthday is December 19th!

Ninat

Ninat also doesn't particularly celebrate his birthdays, though will if other people are interested. He doesn't like it all that much, but will play it up if he has people excited about it. Surprisingly he doesn't like big parties, but will soak it all in if he's invited to one. Ninat 's birthday is November 11th!

🎐 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo they have a sound, like a song or voice, that they associate with peace ? - for Ninat

At one point in his life Ninat didn't think he would ever find a moment of peace. From being hunted by anyone who wanted to kill a fairy or capture one to running a failing government into something bigger and better. He did find that over time he liked the quiet sounds of someone cooking. He doesn't usually have anything on when he cooks himself, enjoying the sounds of the chopping and shuffling around. The beeps of timers and all of that.

He doesn't have to eat actual food but he does because he enjoys the process of cooking something. A lot of his 'calm down' stuff are videos where no one is talking and it's just the ambient sounds of cooking.

Ninat literally being an elder fairy in a job he didn't want but does it because under his assholery he does care about the future of his people.

i woke up and am thinking about how ninat is a known fairy and considered an elder among his people and has actively worked to gather them against a common enemy STARTING A WAR. this man is overworked and angry and morally ambiguous. the things he cares about he cares about and everything else? yeah fuck it. also thinking about how he's vicious and nasty and mean and rude and intense as a thick and thorny barrier to keep people from getting close to him BECAUSE of his position. he knows if he does have people he considers close to him that they will become targets

🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?

Ninat mayhaps?

A simmering slow boil. Meaning that he tends to snip and snipe in response to stimuli that is aggravating him. Typically when he gives out a warning that's a one shot deal before he absolutely explodes. When he does eventually explode he's violent. He will 100% follow through with whatever threat he has made to the fullest extent.

After all, he did give a warning.

15. If they had to sell their soul to save one person, who would it be and why? For ALL OF THEM because I love this question.

Ninat

Gret for sure. He is the closest and most trusted person that he has around him. He didn't really anticipate getting close to someone, even in a platonic sense, going into his war with the Council. For awhile he thought that Gret stuck around to help with things because he felt indebted to him for saving his life. Ninat, despite his vanity and inflated sense of self, has a thread of self loathing in himself. So, if he had the opportunity to save Gret from certain death than he would because he thinks he has more worth living for.

Marnie

It would have to be her childhood best friend, her one and only friend that she had that Amon was quick to get rid of under mysterious circumstances. Lauri was one of the first people to get it through to Marnie that what was happening to her was not normal. Before then she thought it was normal for a demon family to treat her like that. She's the one that introduced her to books she loves to this day. During one of the ceremonies her father was performing to strengthen her powers he called on her to sacrifice someone. Long story short, she ended up using her horns to kill Lauri, which is why she tries to keep hers short to this day.

Lark

His brother. It's something his mother and his family has held against him even though it's been two decades since he's passed. It's the main reason he's so isolated away from his family despite still longing to be a part of it. He still sucks up to his mother because, ultimately, she has the last say if he's to be forgiven or not. Still, he would give his own life to save him because he doesn't feel like he has enough going on in his life to warrant living when his brother could live.

hc + 🗡 for a weapon-themed headcanon - ninat

Ninat has a fascination with weaponry, leaning heavily towards those he can conceal. So he has a decent collection of daggers since those tend to be his favorite. Even so, when he fights he does tend to use his feeding wings, which can pierce through almost anything, or he uses his claws. He's not opposed to getting his hands dirty if need be and oftentimes his rage clouds his vision if it's someone or something he deems a threat.

His favorite dagger is one that Gret, his lieutenant, gave him. It's a black blade with a filigreed gold handle. It's not the most practical to use but he does think it's beautiful so it's on display in his primary home.

Bondings

Fairy bonding has different meanings. There is platonic and romantic bondings.  Every bonding takes time and contact. The fairy has to be around the person for long periods of time and apply some sort of scent marking. Even so, it isn’t instantaneous. A person spending a lot of time in a fairy’s nest will speed up the bonding as well. 

Human/other creatures and fairy bondings are different than fairy and fairy bondings. There is typically a one sided link between the fairy and the human/other creature. The fairy will get a sense of the other being’s mood that feels a bit like a second sense. 

A fairy and fairy bonding is a bit stronger. There is almost a hivemind aspect between the bonded fairies, projecting thoughts and knowing how the other fairy feels. This helps in comforting methods.

Platonic bondings link family and friends. It isn’t uncommon for fairies in a large family group to all be bonded together. This allows everyone in the group to comfort any that are upset or sad. 

Romantic bondings are more intense. The need to be around their mate is very strong. They have the instinctual urge to protect their mate and it isn’t uncommon for them to get aggressive if they think their mate is in trouble. Detaching from a romantic bond is painful, severing an invisible link between the two. If the other person is not a fairy then they don’t feel anything.

Being bonded to can be subtle and sometimes the fairy isn’t entirely sure upon the initial bonding. Scent marking, nest sharing, and gift giving can strengthen the bond though it isn’t entirely concrete until the fairy notices the threads and decides willingly to strengthen them. It’s another second sense feeling. The fairy will then be able to jump to their bonded in case of trouble with no picture or prior visit needed.
