[the-aiu-saga]

i finished one of my inkfaetober wips that i never completed cause i got swamped with homework over christmas break and then i never posted it whoops

this is Felicity, (we are going to pretend the face actually looks like what I picture her as looking like in my head) petting a unicorn she has helped get ready for some kind of celebration (...my fae don't really have a queen's jubilee cause they don't have a singular queen...)

Winter Micro Story — The Winter King

My college classes for the day were canceled because of the snow.

Looking out the window, I watched it pile up higher and higher, which basically meant I wasn’t going anywhere for a while.

I’d wanted to write for some time now, to finally tell the story that’s been pressed into my mind and heart since childhood. When I was a little girl, I made up stories constantly, entertaining my family with wild adventures. But one story was always closest to me.

I grew up loving the woods behind my house. I convinced myself the fae lived there, and I went on a thousand imaginary adventures with them, especially with the young prince, the boy I first loved.

A snow day felt like the perfect time to finally write down the tales of me and my fae prince.

So I sat at my desk in front of the large window that faced the frost-covered woods of my stories. And just as I started to write, something moved between the trees.

There he was, my first love.

The fae prince… now the Winter King.

inkfaetober week: day.3 ~

naga, graveyard, magic

this iis my oc tahlia

you can read her character bio here

i usually dont draw her as a naga (or with any animal inspo really except maybe as having an owl brooch or smth) but she does have the vibes.

as a librarian/archivist/lover of old words, she seems like the kind of person who'd use her magic to help maintain old graveyards.

inkfaetober.week-day.2 ~ banshee, harvest, alchemy

Ansky

more below the cut

Ansky is the nickname of a black hole found in the Virgo Constellation which recently became active. I chose it for this character, as she is visually inspired by black holes, espcially when in her less humaniod form (not pictured - I'll have to draw that at some point, I have a good Pinterest board for her).

Ansky is the (adoptive) daughter of Luna, leader of the nightcourt. She was taken in by her very young. As one of Luna's inner circle, Bea was trusted with caring for Ansky, and the two are very close.

I decided to draw her for this prompt as (at least in her more human form) she looks a lot like a banshee (and can scream almost as loud). She is reading a book on alchemy, one of the subjects a fae child would gain a base understanding of during their primary education. She is surrounded by the vines of the nebula plant, from which hangs a bountiful harvest of starfruits. This plant is found commonly in the domain of the nightcourt. The flowers are similar in shape to those of the bellflower and glow brilliantly once twilight has set in. Depending on the conditions the plant is raised in, blooms can be just about any color found within the visible spectrum of light. The fruits are about the size of a clementine, round, and glow in the same colors that the flowers did.

Shades State Park

For anyone in need of Fae vibes today, here are some pictures from my Labor Day Adventure that I went on instead of attending extended family dinner. :)

I also took many, many videos of the stream running through this ravine, so here's one of my favorites. ^_^

Oooh about that hypnotic halos post— I can imagine you doing this in your Garden, but each of your thralls has a hypnotic crown made of a different kind of plant or flower ❤️

A very lovely idea!

Finding the perfect flower that draws a certain thrall in...Maybe they don't realize they've been showing an unconscious bias towards that flower, maybe it's just the lovely color or the particular scent, but I slowly associate that specific flower with their trances more and more as they grow accustomed to My Garden

Then one day, when we're certain they don't wish to leave...I present it as a gift, a beautiful crown elegantly woven together with twine and that very same flower. They thank Me, as a gift from Fae is truly one to cherish, and put it on without any hesitation.

Then it glows. And so do the thrall's eyes. And soon everything else is gone but the color they fell in love with, glowing in the magic and in their eyes as they truly become such a perfect little thrall~.
