Welcome to Elmville bitches
High Elves are effectively polyphyodonts. Most lose their teeth first at around 20 or so, some a little older or younger. (20ish is considered early adolescence for High Elves, while adulthood is around 100.) Unfortunately, no one bothered to inform Adaine of this. Her teeth begin getting loose one day and she gets so scared and starts thinking she’s dying or cursed. Other species lose their teeth when they’re children. She’s not a child. She’s been raised—naturalized, really—as a Solesian citizen, and Solace is, first and foremost, a human-centric country. So she thinks of her age as a human might. And yet. Her teeth are loose.
She calls Aelwyn, who laughs at the panicked, high octaves of her voice. “Adaine,” Aelwyn says through giggles. “You’re not cursed. You’re losing your baby teeth.”
“I’m not a fucking baby!” Adaine cries, more afraid than angry.
Eventually, she figures it out. It sucks to lose your teeth. But also, weirdly, she kinda likes the slight pain in her gums it prods. She likes poking her tongue around the tender space left by the lost tooth. She really likes the amount of ice cream she eats afterwards.
There’s a common urban legend that elf teeth get sharper with each regrowth, and that the older an elf is, the sharper their teeth. This isn’t exactly anatomically accurate. After the first loss, their canines are substantially sharper and longer, effectively becoming fangs. These are the only teeth that aren’tever replaced, but they do grow a bit as a High Elf’s life goes on. Most aren’t exactly even, and most are about an inch, but it’s considered a beauty standard in Fallinel to have perfectly same-length canines spanning about 1.5-2 inches. “Fang implants” are common, but they also require extensive, expensive surgical processes. Adaine thinks that’s fucking stupid, because she can barely manage needing to recalibrate how she chews her food after her fangs grow in because she can feel them sliding against her other teeth and her lips and she keeps accidentally biting her tongue with teeth that, if she chomps too hard, draw blood.
Fabian claims he gets tooth implants to feel “more connected to his roots” and because “they look fucking sick” but they all know it’s in solidarity with Adaine.
Fig is actually very helpful in the adjustment process for Adaine because she also grew fangs—hers came in during high school when the rest of her tiefling heritage began showing. She, Adaine, Lydia, Ragh, Aelwyn, and Jawbone have a group chat called “fang fam” (named by Fig).
Be honest, would you read Fantasy High fanfiction set at Augfort Adventuring Academy that's mostly canon compliant....... But about a completely original party of characters?
More information about the Let-Downs under the Read More
Would you read Fantasy Fiction focused on an OC party?
Yes! that sounds fun
I would be willing to check it out
No, but you should write it anyway
No, OC fanfic is cringe
First time cosplaying as Adaine Abernant!!! Went to a ren faire and had so much fun!!
"Musn't have been a very good oracle if she didn't see the storm execution coming."
Not so friendly reminder if the bad kids had waited a day or so they might've killed Adaine!! (Alternative version + explaination under the cut! CW for cartoon kind of magical gore under cut? Implied ray of sickness at the least, and burns.)
new elmville map!
After watching The Seven, I got inspired to rewatch Fantasy High Freshman Year.... one thing led to another....
Annnd.... I may or may not have made a Sims 4 version of the Seacaster Manor 😅
(Including a tent for Gilear before he earns his right to a bed as per requested by Fabian 😅)
PLEASE don't repost! And if you share please credit me (mars-626 or SimMars626) 😊 thanks!
a perhaps unpopular thought that has been in my brain since brennan tweeted that sklonda might leave Elmville PD and then has really been festering since Aguefort had a tremendous amount of student debt in the college visit one-shot:
I am a staunch police abolitionist, because I believe the institution of policing in the US is built on white supremacy and exists to protect the property of (some) white Americans over the safety and bodily autonomy of black and indigenous folks and that is unequivocally bad! But I do think a fair and restorative justice system is important – I want to abolish our system but I’m not an anarchist, I do want to have a justice system and I believe it is possible to build a fair and just one. Perhaps that’s misguided! perhaps it’s untrue. But there is something sort of sad to me about defunding the Elmville PD, because it means that even in a fantasy world, societies have failed to realize equal and equitable justice! I like the Elmville PD – as we have seen them, they are mostly harmless and incompetent, a source of comic relief. Sklonda trying to turn them into an actual capable force of security to protect residents of Elmville from evil – especially when the threats of evil in the community are so heightened and potentially world-ending – is very funny to me. It is cathartic to imagine a police force that is not a source of violence and suffering in its community.
I am not sure, maybe it’s a negative and selfish instinct to want Solace to be a country that doesn’t know violent colonization and a racial social caste system like the US. Because I can see how it would be important to reflect that essential part of reality in the experiences of fantasy characters. But I also really like when fantasy racism and discrimination is unique to its world – Riz and Fig trying to be heroes despite descending from evil-aligned races is really interesting to me, and the way it impacts their willingness to trust their family members is really interesting. I don’t know that I’m as interested in discovering what the Solace equivalent of white supremacy is. (Human supremacy?) It’s interesting, I guess, because Fallinel is an elven state, and the relationship between the wood elves and the gnomes in Arborly is interesting. So idk I guess I trust Brennan to build a compelling landscape of inequality in his fantasy worlds.
anyhoo idk what the point of this post is, I think it just makes me kind of sad to see things like the US’s deeply flawed management of higher ed and our deeply racist system of policing reflected in fantasy worlds that don’t share our history and circumstances... i think it feels sort of hopeless to me, like it posits a belief that the worst parts of our society are also inevitable and so even in a world where teenagers can slay a dragon in their freshman year of high school ordinary people are still saddled with suffocating student debt and the police are a weapon of the state used to protect institutional racism. it makes me less excited to spend my time and energy in that world!
okay well goodbye that’s my thought! excited for junior year even if the Elmville PD kills an unarmed halfling. (although the halflings in elmville are often armed with molotov cocktails and also the police fire their weapons willy nilly in the precinct and clock out early with no issue so i guess that won’t be too unexpected.)
