Reverse engineered from alternative sources, that I know, only makes sense.
But why THOSE specific tenets, every time, why the bent towards Byronism ?
That's the question which perplexes me, you see.
And yes, Fair Folk, but rather closer in aspect to the Unseelie Court, which caused all manner of unintentional and annoying (to her!) antics when I wound up dating a Seelie - that did NOT end well.
And just so ya know, my preferred icon of destruction lays rest the myth you could stop one with cold iron...

Hello,
That's a comforting thought, but I think it is possible to befriend and even to love a monster.

But alligators are so cute! :) There's a band called Tricky Pixie that sings a song about There's an Alligator in my House, its a funny song, the alligator is biding its time, eating little things, one of the cats is missing, its slinking about etc.
Well Frem, a chara, a stor, you've called me out, I must confess to all now. I'm not a mere mortal woman as many around me think. In the Fae Realm I committed a minor infraction some years ago, was really no big thing really, which resulted in my complete, allbeit temperary, banishment to the land of man. I was to live out a life here, but part of the punishment was to be stuck in this flawed body for the duration of the time. That is my fate on this earth.

But they're so cute, in a creepy disturbing sort of way...
And that one's but cuter AND creepier, innit ?
Riona, a lot of folks tend to think of fae, and faekin, as a european thing, but I tellya not many of em live in the bayou or the appalacians, cause them suckers either hitched a ride or (more likely) pre-dated us here, they just happen to be generally more discreet and less prevalent in a society that initially believed in something else (puritan idiocy) to the point of near insanity.
I think the point Byte was making though, is that Dark Sparks are much like Faekin in that rather than "good" or "evil" by conventional judeo-christian black and white terms, what they are is *different*, oh how very much so - again I find myself using reference links in order to keep this concise, but these two do apply, most particularly.

Of course, in a society which considers "different" to be abhorrent, evil, although not to the degree of some (Japan is worse for this), someone like that is generally not well recieved or regarded - but then neither were Fae, till they decided that such treatment would swiftly be attented to via attitude.. ADJUSTMENT.
And you know, I am all kinds of down with that.
Besides which, I know damn well I'm probably technically Faekin - most folks don't have that kind of bond with wild animals otherwise, and it's worth a laugh or two wondering if anyone leaves this place alone cause of THAT, too...
Cause you know, I have the raccons on MY side!
Hehehehehe...

I'm just messin with ya Frem, can't you tell? :))
I love playing about that kind of thing, I don't believe in it but I like pretending about it. I like playing pretends and I'm going to have to play a charactor sometime that has that backstory, because its just too clever not to use for something later.
There's a weird part of me that would wonder if I could find someone who actually believed me. Then of course I'd fess up, but the experience of someone thinking that was true, allbeit for a brief time, would be entertaining to say the least. Don't you think it was a good story?

Always, but never unwise to cover your bases when discussing folks who might eat you in retaliation.
I've seen enough freaky things in my time to not automatically discount anything though, and having similar tendancies gives me more interest than usual, to the point where I know the difference between Fae, Faekin, and Pettifae(1), but one of my particular interests is Solara, which are the guardians of "thinnies", which are places where the veil between worlds is quite thin and the friction creates a lot of power for those able to harness it, as well as the possibility of travel between.
Solara, despite their guise as human childen (often in places wholly inappropriate to find one) are *NOT* human, and by human standards are pretty sadistic, toying with them as cats do with bugs or mice, holding us in similar regard - usually communicating only by ryhme, music or simply leading humans to their doom in much the fashion as willowisps do.
As for Pettifae, those amuse me cause they're essentially evolved bugs, so not exactly well endowed in the attention span or brains department, which can be in it's own way hilarious.
Two of the anime I like, Bottle Fairy and Snow Fairy Sugar, revolve around Pettifae, and Sugar is quite boneheaded even for one of THEM.
WAFFO!

Not the concrete answers I was looking for. OMNOMNOMNOM!
I define feral children differently than Byte clearly. I went through this feral children phase in high school so I did a lot of research on actual cases. I only use the term to describe children who were completely neglected/didn't learn much talking etc. or children who grew up under animal supervision (rare, but it has happened). So Byte's looser definition doesn't fly with me, but hey. I gave up on the idea of looking after feral children, very few people get that chance and it would just be too difficult for me logistically. But I enjoyed studying it for a time.
Frem. I believe that anything that society tollerates, that is what people will be. If you live in a society that tollerates a wide variety of behavior you'll find people who do lots of different things/believe lots of different things. If something isn't allowed or is discouraged you find less of it, when you do find it it is fewer and further between.

Riona, oddly enough I kinda WAS one of those, I coined the term "Social Feral" sometime in high school so that folks would understand, which they didn't, still don't.
You see, from the moment of my birth I was *NOT* welcome in my fathers presence, not whatsoever, to draw his notice was to draw his wrath, which is where I learned my stealthy ways, which of course lead to him them hating on me for being sneaky - he just flat out hated me, period, and made damn sure I knew it.
Believe me, he'd have been happier if I *had* been stillborn, I've not ever forgiven any of this, but I let it go cause as a parent he's a lost cause and he only finally realized it after his actions lead to the death of his daughter - after which he tried in his clumsy, self-destructive fashion to make amends, which I wasn't having any of since I had greater concerns at the time, but I did eventually just plain let it go cause ain't no point to THAT grudge, his own actions have done him more harm than I would have, and frankly in order to hate him, I'd have to give one shit about him, which I do not...
But watching him take some kinda perverse pride in my continued survival against all odds grates on me, it does.
Anyhow, due to that I actually learned to read before I had fully developed speech, even now I pronounce things as-written, which strikes some folk as odd, and at the time many of the teachers thought I was mute, my kindergarten teacher was rather firmly convinced till a self-defense incident in which I caught all the blame caused me to call her out on a certain kind of favoritism, using language skills one does not normally accept from a five year old, not to mention a couple words most certainly not polite vocabulary... and they went back and forth between thinking I was "wrong upstairs" or actually smart, and just plain mean - either way it didn't bother them too much cause when I *DID* say something it wasn't anything they wanted to hear, oh no.
Plus, due to my mother working 14 hour days thanks to a long commute and piss poor wages, I was left to fend for myself to an extreme degree, which only got worse after it became clear I didn't hold with the conventional "pecking order" - you touched me, I tried to kill you, that kinda put a damper on things and resulted in me being utterly and completely shunned, even by other outcasts who for some reason felt that because the punks no longer hassled me, they were then taking my "share" of the abuse, and hated me for it.
So for near fifteen years really, the only human contact I had besides a few stolen moments with my mother on the occasional weekend, almost a meeting of strangers really, cause we knew essentially nothing about one another, and looking after my sister, who is also in her own way seriously messed up - was essentially exploitive, violent, or malicious in nature, certainly I had no bonds to anyone nor even the potential for them till I had a catastrophic-type epiphany at about twelve and started trying to change the things I felt were horrible about the world I was experiencing, which only made things worse for the longest time.
Why you think I understand closet-kids so well, the severely neglected and abandoned, and know how to draw them out of it ?
This is also why I understand Hikikomori so very well, cause Japanese culture tends to content themselves with the lie that they withdraw from fear, because they cannot acknowledge the truth, that what turns them away from their own society is a deep and profound disgust, almost a hatred, and crosses over into something resembling PTSD if not in fact co-morbid with it, Zielenzigers book Shutting out the Sun delves into this, but not deeply enough, in my opinion - but the Japanese refuse to admit there's anything in their society to be disgusted WITH, so they call it fear and scorn them.
For all that the girl drives me up a wall, Yuriko knows this as well or better than I do, most of her Miko are kids who would have otherwise gone that route who found acceptance by choosing a path that offered something ot

Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in taxpayer funded bailouts, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?
Yeah, me neither....
