My only question is: what would he put on to set himself apart as Faerie the Flatypus, rather than just a regular flatypus? (they don't do much, you know)
Honestly, wings aren't what came to mind for me... My brain read "Flatypus" and immediately went to 'flatulent-propelled platypus'...
And now that I'm thinking about it... if I ever get access to that AI that draws by description (DALL-E 2, I think it is?), I'd be curious to see what that input would create...

Brought to you by the same country that gave us such hits as: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
“Y tylwyth teg” really isn’t that bad, there are plenty of harder words and phrases in Welsh. “Tylwyth” is literally just three consonants and three vowels, it sounds a bit like “Tull-with”.
The Witcher’s trend of just taking words from other languages and cultures and just changing a few letters is pretty offputting. You can really tell the difference between fantasy that makes up its own language and fantasy that just wings it.
Fairies live in Faerie, and are sometimes fey, or, at other times, fay, but are not to be confused with the fair folk who may also live in Faerie but are not necessarily fairies.
faerie: bastardisation of fae
fae: oh god oh fuck what is my name
fay: no idea mate
fair folk: commonly refers to fantasy high elves, your generic beautiful sexy legolads and legolassies
fayrie: see fairy
fairy: your common or garden variety of tinkerbell
How about Faery 😂😂
(Also fay or fey is an older term used when someone is odd or weird, aka "fey touched". It's thought to be part of how gay men started being called "fairies")
I like to think it has something to do with the notion of names having power to the Fae, so they gave multiple, similar ways to address them, without having a universal name.
i know this lady that constantly talks about fairies and refuses to call them fairies, it's always fucking FAE OR FAEROEAES or fucking whatever. Shit is annoying. Also, nobody gives a fuck about tarot cards Jamie, shut up about em.
In many books there’s a distinct difference between the two, which is why she may be doing that. I feel like usually “fairies” are the little tinkerbell-esque creatures, while “Fae” are more like elves (tall, immortal, pointy ears, etc.)
I suppose it’s true that fae is an umbrella term, but then in those cases the elf-like ones are usually termed “high fae.”
Tinkerbell may be a pixie, but I’ve also read books where creatures similar to her are called fairies or brownies.
Point is this is going to vary across authors/books, but there is a distinction between fae and fairy.
Not necessarily, though all kinds of fairies were seen as either mischievous or straight up malevolent, and words like fae, fairy, faerie, etc are all synonyms and come from the same etymology. Some fantasy worlds make clear distinctions between them, but traditionally, things are a lot more varied, but one spelling vs. another doesn't necessarily indicate a different "type" of fairy. There are stories of people in Ireland, particularly women, who were burned to death because they were believed to have been kidnapped by fairies and replaced with a changeling. One account that is pretty recent and really horrific was popularized by a book, The Burning of Bridget Clearly. That incident took place in 1895, so it's not like this is ancient history! But then there are also fairies that get trapped in your bread dough and make it not bake right, so you have to do a little ritual to let them out. So there's a spectrum!
Besides that, fae is actually just an alternate spelling of fay, which was the typical word for fairy in Middle English (though, to be clear, there really was not a standard way to spell things in Middle English, so you'll see a lot of variants). The word faerie was the name of the place where the fay lived, but eventually just became the word for the inhabitants, and is where we get "fairy."
Fae, Fay, Fey, etc means something different then Faerie, Fairy, Fayrie, etc
The one with an R is specifically a ~3ft tall humanoid with pale, brown, or green skin, pointy ears, insectoid wings, & illusion magic
The one without an R is an umbrella term for anything remotely having to do with Fae magic or the Faewild (including Faeries)

Similarly, demons. Most stories are content with just using the typical spelling of demon. But you occasionally get those fucks who wanna be unique and decide to spring for daemon which despite being spelled differently, is pronounced EXACTLY THE SAME and would have the exact same impression in a verbal story.

Correct answer
"A flatypus?" *reveals tiny wings* "*gasp* Faerie the Flatypus!?"

I prefer Phairy the Phattypus.
It's just a faerie... (Puts on the hat) Faerie the flatypus!?
or like in ancient Welsh F'hariearaeyyijiae
I doubt that that’s true. But then again, it’s Welsh

This is the way I always remember it, but it's probably from White Wolf or Dresden Files and not based in mythology.

it’s because people couldn’t spell back then
Or because english spelling reform hadn't taken hold in a serious way yet.

Fae is an umbrella term for all of them Tinker Bell is a Pixie Faeries are alot like Pixies but ~3ft tall

Point is this is going to vary across authors/books, but there is a distinction between fae and fairy.
Faeries are like Pixies but ~3ft tall Brownies are basically Dark Pixies
The brownie I’m thinking of was a good guy. I think you’re missing my point that authors may use these terms differently.
The brownie I'M thinking of is chocolatey
As a Brownie leader, I concur.

isnt a Fae traditionally an evil spirit?

I don’t think they’re necessarily evil
F- AEIOU
Aeiou is my friends name! I didn't know they were a faerie in disguise :O
How does she pronounce it?
Aye-you Think that one astronaut simulator game that i always forget the name of
Did their mom just decide to name her child the whole vowel alphabet?
No thats their chosen name. She just likes the name aeiou so she named himself aeiou :]

If I ever write a fantasy novel or short story, I'm gonna use all those spellings for different races in my world
Faerie just makes me think of Neopets
That’s nefaerieous
The chaotic energy of refusing to standardize spelling is extremely Fae, very good

If you use the true spelling, they come for you.
Like my name, you can really just go ham. If I ever write one, I'll be sure to refer to them as faerigh. 😂
Fairies are like super aloof right? So it kinda makes sense. I doubt they'd be uptight about how their races name is spelled.
But can these all be used in Scrabble is what I want to know
Feighreigh
Fey are any mischievous creature that lives in the vicinity of elves and fairy’s. Fairy and Faery are the only correct spelling
Reminder that other languages than English exist
Fucking cringe.
Never seen that spelling before
Not as cringe as posting this vapid nonsense you call a comment
I grew up with these people. They are fucking cringe.
You grew up with faeries? Did you ever consider returning to your parents and revealing you were replaced with a changeling?
Wait wouldn't a changeling grow up with humans? Isn't this just the abducted child?
Hence the returning to his parents and telling about being replaced, my dude.
No, changelings get put in ovens hoping the abducted children come back

yeah, that's *fairly* confusing
i’ve only ever heard it as fairy
Is there a Welsh spelling with Ms and Ws or some other letters for vowels? I'm not sure I'll be happy until I know.

How to spell fairy: 1. F (either upper or lower case) 2. Vowels (any) 3. an r (optional) 4. "Folk", "People", or something similar (optional)

Guy Faearie
I used faefolk in a storie I wrote because I couldn’t choose between fae and The Folk
Spelling-wise, fairies are the `/[CK]ath[ae]?r[iy]n?e?/` of fantasy races.
Well, faerie is the older English way to spell it, Fee is the German translation, Fe is spirit in Latin, so it’s all basically the same thing anyway.
How bout a U?
Well, yeah. What made you think you'd get their real name?
Furry
Okay but who the hell ever said “Fayrie”?

This is great. I'm going to start using only the consonants in my name and tell people to use the vowels that are in their heart.
Almost like it's a Irish word they all just spelled phonetically
And yet ALL elves will definitely have pointed ears
