    I don’t know what it is about a certain kind of nerd and everything “fae” recently, but I feel like too many things are being associated with faeries, and put under an umbrella term named after them.

    And their power level is rocketing up to Galactus levels.

    It’s like the words magic, myth, fantastical and supernatural have been replaced by fae to make it all fairy-esque with pretty and/or grotesque twigpeople as mascots. Sometimes it seems Godzilla is a fae, Thor is a fae, Bigfoot is a fae, Kraken is a fae, C’thulu is a fae, Jehovah is a fae, Dragons are fae.

      “Pfft, typical fairy.”

      Basic alt girls with floral/bird tattoos who think making soup was alien enough to be considered magicks love BG3 and DnD. Now their orbiting nerds have accepted their new definition to not be cast out.

      It’s another personality substitute after the tattoos, hair dye, and Lovecraft obsessions stopped feeling edgy.
