Heya guys ! ✨ Thank you again for your incredible work and good vibes, you truly fill us with sooo many ideas !! Just curiosity, any idea when Error’s design will be released please 👉👈🤎 ? Bisous ~
happy early valentine's day! bisous~ ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
we have gotten a few asks about the “rules” for making a sona or OC in the faeu, so if you’re someone that likes to be “canon-compliant” or have a set of rules to follow when making an OC, here they are! (feel free to not follow them if you don’t want to, you’re welcome to use your imagination)
Dream and Nightmare are the oldest current living fae in the Seasonal Realms at 1500 years old, older fae either left or died during the war
there are no hybrid fae (spring/autumn, summer/winter, etc). the Spring-Summer and Autumn-Winter magics are like oil and water and cannot mix. a fae has the magic of whatever realm they were born into, and a human that becomes fae will have the magic of whatever realm they were tricked in.
Spring-Summer fae can’t travel to Autumn-Winter (and vice versa) without protections or the blessing of the king of where they’re travelling. fae will fall very ill from the conflicting magic after spending even an hour across the border (Summer fae will have a cold and Winter fae will have a fever).
it is possible to convert to another realm, but it is a process and you have to be blessed by the king of the realm you’re switching to in a ceremony. however, if you convert to Spring-Summer and then change your mind and want to return to Autumn-Winter, Nightmare will refuse to let you return. so choose wisely. Dream is more lenient—if you convert to Autumn-Winter and then want to return to Spring-Summer, Dream will welcome you back.
there are certain physical traits associated with each court—
Summer/Spring Court - Antlers. Wings: Butterfly, Dragonfly, Bee, Praying Mantis, Wasp, Fly
Winter/Autumn Court - Horns. Wings: Moth, Beetle, Cicada, Grasshopper, Firefly, Cockroach
there are fae that aren’t based on insects! fae that are bird-like, have traits of dragons or unicorns, things like that. feel free to get creative with it ^^
fae can’t lie, it makes them physically ill. it’s not worth it to try. you can trade a human for the ability to lie, however only one fae has managed to do so. most fae don’t think it’s a skill they need, and the ability to manipulate words and dancing around the truth is a highly valued skill. fae culture loves wordplay. humans that are becoming fae will find telling lies makes them more and more ill until they’re dissuaded from it.
there are realms beyond the faewildes, and other kingdoms of fae with different magics. it is possible to travel from one to another through the wildes but it is dangerous. the faewildes do not have a ruler as wild magic doesn’t like to be tamed, but there are fae that survive out there (Error is one example).
in the fae realms there are some fae known as “Aspects”. fae that went through a lot of complicated, life-altering, incredibly influential experiences that were entirely concentrated around a singular concept of some kind. it changes them fundamentally as a person, concentrating their magic on that concept until they are tied to it intrinsically and it is as much a part of them as they are a part of it. events on the level of Frisk surviving a beam from Asriel as the god of hyperdeath at 0.0000001 HP through sheer Determination, or all the things that made Sans into Geno and then ultimately into Error. they become that thing personified. Aspects are incredibly powerful and exceedingly rare, and it’s a very big deal for one to happen. notable Aspects are Dream (Positivity), Nightmare (Negativity), Error (Chaos), and Ink (Inspiration).
a lot of the faeu is based on Celtic folklore—there are many interesting concepts and creatures to read about and pull inspiration from. i recommend reading up on the Tuatha Dé Danann and Aos Sí!
all fae can make magically-binding deals, even humans that just got tricked into staying in the fae realms that haven’t turned fae yet. magically-binding deals are usually limited to things that you can actually complete, such as trading something you own/have or doing some kind of service. with study and training it is possible to strengthen your magic and give intangible things such as a boon/luck/etc. the more tied you are to the magic of the realm the more powerful you are and the more complex of a deal you can make. it takes lots of study to reach this level.
I honestly can't wait for Fae!Horror's reveal! I've been crossing my fingers that he'll just be a giant, thick wall of bone with lots of old battle scars~
But I know whatever you guys have come up with will be fantastic too!
i forgot to draw scars on him but he does have plenty of them
and he is indeed a big boy, at 6'4 ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Hi ! Kind of a silly question but considering how old they are, the fae boys must know many languages (especially Dream and Nightmare) right ?
Do they have a favorite one (or maybe more than one) ? If so, is it because they find it more agreeable to speak/hear/read ? Or maybe because they see it as easier to trick mortals with ?
I originally thought they liked to use the language of their original creator (Killer with Arabic, Ink with French ect) but I may be wrong.
Kinda related note, I like to think some of them would enjoy humans who speak and/or study several languages. Also that once they catch strong feelings for someone, they would use terms of endearments in a language the objet of their affections definitely doesn’t understand when addressing them. I know it's sappy but I think it would be so cute, especially once that person finds out what those words actually mean.
Also, I really like the idea of Nightmare wanting to teach old and forgotten languages to someone he really likes during his free time. Maybe as an excuse to spend time with said person but to feel closer to them as well. It could even be intimate in a way (definitely not projecting here).
So sorry for rambling, I just really like this AU...
No need to apologize! Rambles are fun. I'm also a fan of them knowing the language of their original creator, so for personal headcanons of what languages they know/like to speak I tend to use those plus a few others.
For this AU, Nightmare, Dream, Ink and Error all know how to speak an ancient fae language, which is similar to Welsh. But as for human languages, these are the ones they tend to use the most.
Nightmare - Russian, Italian, German Killer - Arabic, French Horror - Various sign languages, German Dust - Korean, German Cross - Spanish, Tagalog Error - Spanish, Korean Dream - Italian, French, Arabic Blue - Spanish, German Ink - French, Japanese
Most of them would certainly enjoy discovering a human who can speak another language that they can also speak or who are interested in learning. Teaching wise, Nightmare, Horror, Blue and Ink, would all happily try and teach you a new language, with various levels of success. Dream would also show interest, but may struggle to find enough time to properly teach you.
As for terms of endearment, Nightmare, Killer, Dream and Ink are the most likely to openly call you something romantic in a language you don't understand before you've started fully dating/courting each other.
I know we've talked a lot about how fae trick humans into joining their world. But is it possible for a fae to trick another fae into becoming a memeber of their court?
It's not possible for a fae to be tricked into becoming a member of a different Court, but there is a process for changing Courts. Although it's only possible to do once or twice, depending on which Court you originate from. (Dream will allow you to come back after changing from Summer to Winter, but Nightmare will not if you have changed from Winter to Summer) There’s a spell that's spoken in an ancient fae language, and then there’s a physical aspect. For the physical part, the King in question draws symbols onto the fae's wings. For Nightmare, his claws will leave frost in their wake to draw out the symbols, and the frost will slowly envelop their wings as he speaks and draws more. For Dream, his claws will trail vines and flowers as he traces the symbols into the fae's wings, eventually covering them with blossoms as he speaks. At the end, the frost will melt or the flowers will bloom and fall away to reveal new wings suited to their new Court alignment.
The translation of the spell isn’t very poetic, but in the archaic language it sounds very elegant and rhymes. Here are Nightmare and Dream's spells respectively: “As King of Winter I take you into my court You will be of Night of Snow, of Shadow, of Frost I take you under my wing and into my fold For as long as you are loyal I will protect you You will be mine” “As King of Summer I welcome you into my court You will be of Day of a cool breeze, of warmth, of blossoms, I take you under my wing and into my fold For as long as you desire I will protect you You will be at my side”

How old are each of the fae?
Nightmare and Dream are both somewhere around 1500 give or take a few decades. the tree incident happened when they were young adults, around 300. fae mature very slowly, and once they reach adulthood it slows even more.
Ink is second oldest, around 1400. Error is also old, but roughly 1200. there's a large gap in the timeline here when it comes to the 'main cast', with Horror being the next eldest-- he's about 600. next (in order) is Dust, Killer, Blue, and Cross who all range between 500 and 400. Killer and Blue are closest in age.
time is weird in the fae realms, though! only a few years in the fae realms can be a century in the human realm, and it's not very consistent.
