This scene has been in my head for two years and needed out. So a quick comic it is. More space fairies. The Monarchs are called Sol and Nox. They belong to the same circle.
Sol is very polite and while disappointed, they do accept a 'no' from the human. But you do not say 'no' to Sol while Nox is around. It's not healthy for you or the rest of your crew. :)
Seriously, if Sol didn't like the humans Nox would've reduced the ship to metal scrap upon the first encounter. Nox is a fiesty powerhouse, but soft to their circle. If they want to hang out with the weird beings then they'll begrudgingly let them.
•After a grueling day of studying and social life at the palace, Astrid loves to end her day with another book. Usually, it's either ancient Geonian legends or human fairy tales. As luck would have it, her favorite dragon, Fianit, wants to play only in the evening.

Another judge meme! I realized I never did one for Enigma my space fairy, and I decided I wanted to do another one with Nebby too! So here we are: Reblog up to two trolls/humans/any oc to have both Nebula and Enigma judge them!
Multiple reblogs are not only okay but desired!
Hey! This looks like a fun place!
a nice lil drawing ive been working on for a while! a bit of an undertaking, but it came out nice imo. It’s Thal using their power, portals!
If you don’t quite get what’s going on, the picture in the book is what Thalassa is opening the portal to, that’s why the one in the center is more detailed looking!

All over the universe they’ve given birth to stories and legends of their kind, and whether they are real or not is often up for speculation. They are small and colorful, magical and adventurous, and they’ve been around since the beginning of time…
Commonly known as Space Fairies, these little guys have a lust for adventure and makes great travelling companions, are you lucky enough to befriend one.
Personality
Chaotic, adventurous, curious and playful are things that would describe the average Space Fairy. They live for new experiences and are always on the move, looking for new knowledge and new adventures - and friends.
While they may be shy at first, Space Fairies are a very social species and curiosity wins them over as they approach others. They often make friends with other aliens across the universe, often attaching themselves to one they decide is now their best friend, and following them along wherever they go - whether they like it or not.
They aren’t always the easiest to deal with however. Space Fairies are rather emotional, and will often feel each and every emotion very strongly. If they are happy, they are HAPPY, if they are sad, they are SAD. Some might say they are very tiny drama-queens, but at least they seldom hold grudges for very long, although of course their personalities vary as much as they do for any other race, so you never know.
Appearance
Space Fairies are tiny beings, standing at merely 20-30 cm in height. While they may look like colorful, bobble-headed humans with insect wings at first glance, you will soon notice many other features that distinguish them from humans.
Anatomy
Along with their rather big heads, they also have big, pointed ears, usually a bit droopy, and big eyes with a dark sclera and glowing pupils. They have no distinguished noses, and their mouths are small. They have white teeth that are usually rather human-like, though some of them have pointed canines.
The hair is fluffy and incredibly soft with a texture much like mohair. It keeps growing slowly through the fairy’s life, although much like others, they may cut and style it to their liking.
Their limbs are rather long, legs often taking up more than half the body’s height. Hands and feet often seem a little bit big in contrast to the arms.
Their feet have three toes, two long ones pointing forward and one small that comes out from the heel. The toes are flexible and strong, and can be used as a second pair of hands in some cases, though they are mainly meant for gripping. Their hands however, look much like that of a human, albeit they have only three fingers and one thumb.
Wings
No two fairies have the exact same shape of wings, although some structures and basic shapes repeats. The wings look a bit like colorful insect wings and come in sets of two or, in very rare cases, three. They look like they could be made out of paper-thin crystal, but are soft and flexible to the touch.
Colors and Patterns
Fairies comes in all colors and countless of patterns. They may be striped, freckly, or have spots and spirals across their body. It’s not unusual for these patterns or part of them to be bioluminescent, and all in all, the fairies themselves can glow upon will.
Gender
Space Fairies are completely sex and gender-less. Gender is a concept they might pick up from other species and choose to identify by, but physically they are all “the same”.
Other Features
There are features some fairies have, but others don’t that show up every once in a while, such as horns, antennas, tails and fin-like webbing growing from the calf and lower arms, or even thorns in some especially rare cases.
Distribution
Space Fairies has no homeworld of their own, but sees the entirety of the Universe as their playground. For them, “home”, is a fleeting concept they’ve borrowed from other species they’ve come across.
Space Fairies appear all over the universe, either in Fairy Swarms, on their own, or in companionship with someone they met on their quest for self discovery.
Despite their wide range, they are still seen as quite rare as they show up far apart.
Life Cycle
Space fairies doesn’t age. From the moment they are hatched, til the day they die, they have the same physical shape.
For a new fairy to come to life, a Fairy Swarm must first pick out a fitting space rock, preferably one caught in a safe orbit around a planet or star. The Fairies of the swarm will then each approach the rock and bless it by giving it a gentle kiss, thus feeding it with love. After this, the swarm will dance and sing around their chosen rock, a ritual that brings life to its core.
After the ritual, the swarm leaves the rock behind, and for many years to come it will change shape and eventually crystallize into a Fairy Egg.
Once the egg hatches, the swarm is long gone, and it’s up for the new fairy to fend for itself. This may seem cruel to many, but is very much part of their culture and who they are. A newly hatched fairy is hatched with inherited knowledge, and nothing like the children of many other species. All in all, they are “adult” from the moment they hatch.
This is when the quest for self discovery begins. A young fairy will spend possibly thousands of years to travel the galaxies, adventure, and find companions on alien planets. It’s all up to them when they feel like they are “done”, and when they do, they will hear a calling that will lead them to a Fairy Swarm much like the one that created them. Some of them never return to their kind.
There is no dying of old age for fairies, unless they die of depression, heartbreak, are killed, or give up their life for another to live, most will just live on for eternity. That is, until they feel ready to move on, and die, to possibly be hatched anew.
When a Space Fairy die, their bodies wither away and turns into stardust.
Fairy Swarms
Fairy Swarms can consist of anything from 20-500 fairies, sometimes more, that travels the galaxies together. While traveling, they sing, dance, and share stories of their many adventures with each other and anyone they may come across.
Linguistics
Space Fairies are naturals when it comes to linguistics, and their own language is a mix of million other languages they’ve picked up that sound like singing when they speak. They are sometimes called “Space Parrots”, because they can mimic any noise or sound they hear.
When exposed to a new language, it takes the fairy merely days before they can speak it near fluently themselves, which makes them especially popular as companions since they work as tiny translators as well.
Relationships
While fairies doesn't have our concept of love and relationships and partnership isn’t something that naturally occur among fairies, friendship is something they value very highly.
Now, since unlike fairies, most of the friends they make does age, they are bound to survive their alien friends… Most aliens they meet they might only travel with for as long as it’s exciting enough, but if it’s someone they end up with an especially strong bond to it’s not unusual for them to stay by their side til they pass away.
In fact, it’s not unusual a fairy end up having a favorite person of sorts they get attached to and will follow everywhere as a companion, and this person is almost never another fairy. What is unusual however, yet not unheard of, is a fairy falling in love.
It does happen that, a fairy give up their immortality to become one of the same kind as their beloved if they feel like they can't truly be with them the way they wish in their fairy form. However, it comes at a high price, and they will lose all magic and their immortality and connection to their own kind. Something that for many is very emotionally traumatic, especially with the dysphoria that might come with a new body of the kind.
For a fairy who’s made this choice there is no return.
Emotional Vulnerability
As previously mentioned, Space Fairies feels very strongly, and often with one feeling dominating above the rest. Their feelings are, in many ways their strength, but also their greatest weakness.
For a fairy, depression is a physical illness as much as it’s a mental one, and for them it’s very much deadly. Thus, it’s in a literal sense one might say a heart break could kill a fairy.
Many times have travelers in space caught fairies, trying to keep or sell them as exotic pets, only for them to turn depressed when their freedom is stolen and die so soon there was no point in the trade.
Magical Abilities
All fairies possess magical abilities, although not all fairies possess the same ones, there are a number of abilities they all have in common:
Invisibility - A fairy can turn invisible with no effort, as if it’s a natural state.
Create light - While fairies can see in most dark spaces with little to no effort, they can create lights of various colors and control them at will.
Resurrection - If a fairy so wish, they may give up their own life to resurrect and heal someone who just passed.
These abilities aside, it’s not unusual for a fairy to have one or two other unique powers such as:
Shape shifting
Elemental powers
Teleportation
Healing
Telekinesis
And so on….
Fairy Dust - Star Dust
Fairy dust, fairy dandruff, what they leave behind now and then as they fly about, and what they turn into when they die… Maybe it’s not very surprising it has magical abilities on its own?
Fairy Dust contains raw magic, and is good for magical potions and spells. When simply thrown upon someone, it can also grant them levitation powers for a limited time.
It is also said to have a peculiar taste… That is, that when a good person taste it, it taste sweet, while for a bad person, it taste bitter. Now why anyone would want to put fairy dust in their mouths in the first place is a good question I don’t know the answer of, but people are being weird is not new.
Fairy Swarm Wishes
According to legend, if you’re lucky enough to come across a Space Fairy Swarm, they can grant you a wish.
However, remember, it’s only one wish and no more, so be careful what you wish for.
Other Facts
Fairies themselves doesn’t really care for clothes, but often end up dressing whatever way seem fitting for the alien culture they are with. They are especially fond of colorful and sparkling things.
Fairies doesn’t need to eat, but many enjoys it.
A wounded fairy bleeds a thick, sparkling, dark fluid that turns into fairy dust when it dries.
While fairies can survive most environments, such as extreme heat, cold, and even vacuum, they are fragile to touch and not very physically strong up close… This means they are technically “easy” to crush or cut, but their speed makes up for it, making them incredibly hard to catch in the first place.
It is said that fairies bring good luck!
Fairies talking with each other sound like a confusing sing-song babbel because of their habit to mix languages together.
They often have many names that they’ve been given by friends of various species in various languages, although some may feel extra attached to one name and make the choice to introduce themselves as such.
Fairies stay “childlike” all their life, not as children literally, but in how they are bright eyed, curious, eager to learn and usually quite optimistic.
When out in space, a fairy can travel by the speed of light, which is how they reach different planets. This takes a lot of energy for them though.
