Why do the fae steal/"need" humans? I am curious about this for real life folklore but also The Folk of the Air lore.

I could Google this, yes, but I am asking here because I really enjoy just talking with people

Another day of wishing that common knowledge didn't situate the word 'folklore' as synonymous with 'folktales'

Like folktales are cool don't get me wrong. And it's a part of folklore, sure, but less in a 'squares are rectangles' way and more in a 'blue is a color' way

#real folklore #folklore #folklore studies is so freaking cool you guys

The two wolves inside me are the aspiring author and the amateur folklorist and I swear both of them both love and hate tumblr/fandom culture sometimes

#both wolves are also asexual so that plays a role in it lollll #fandom culture #tumblr culture #folklore #real folklore #writing #media literacy #like it fascinates me and its so cool and fun but it also s t r e s s e s me out #death of the author but like what about when *i’m* the author?#and this is why i always feel the need to say ‘narratively’ and ‘narrative function’ so much in my analysis posts lol #like can you let me analyze and critique the *writing* without getting offended about your *interpretations* of your blorbo #that are not actually presented within the storytelling? Please?#Like that's a cool theory it could even make sense you can do a rewrite fanfic with that characterization #but that is not what i’m here to talk about rn!#like its fine I just think we need to be able to separate these things to have productive conversations
