The Fair Folk: Difference between revisions

* The Elves in ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|8-Bit Theater]]''. Especially Thief.

{{quote|'''Thief''': Like it says in our national anthem ''Elfland, and fuck you too'', [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2008/11/29/episode-1065-team-up-spectacular/ "We are a race of total bastards"]}}

{{quote|A creature of chaos, the Ur-pixie is thought to be the mother and father of all pixies, representing the fundamental chaos of the universe. Where pixies later evolved into spirits of laughter and joy (or at least that's the standing theory, which has many opponents amongst those who have come into direct contact with them), the Ur-pixie is a cumulation of chaos and magic.}}

* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' Fairies are about halfway between the cute Pixie and the chaotic trickster types. They're capricious and largely lacking in tact and empathy, but the only harm they've done is emotional rather than physical, and mostly directed at other Fairies rather than humans. Still, this behavior provoked stunned silence (and breaking the [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]] rule) from the protagonists.

** Hell, [[Great Gazoo|they]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|are]] [[Time Dissonance|creepy]] [[Disproportionate Retribution|enough]] [[Mood Swinger|already]]. More on them [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/fae.php here].

* In ''[[Arthur, King of Time and Space]]'', the Fey have agreed to help Morgan become queen, for impenetrable reasons of their own (hence "Morgan le Fey"). However, they don't actually seem to be all that bright...

** Max once lampshaded the "Disney" idea most Americans have of fairies. [http://www.codenamehunter.com/archive/comic/2011/11/14 "Trust me, a person would have to be desperate to go through a fey gate"]

* Used as a [http://plif.courageunfettered.com/archive/wc162.gif subversion] (of the popular version) in ''[[The Parking Lot Is Full]]''.

* In the [[Mega Crossover]] [[Fanfic|fan]][[Web Comic|comic]] ''[[Roommates 2007|Roommates]]'' (and in its [[Spin-Off]] s ''[[Girls Next Door]]'' and ''[[Down the Street]]'') [[The Fair Folk]] is the (magical) [[Take a Third Option|third option]] between [[Heaven and Hell]] and [[Tangled Family Tree|one ''happy'' family]] so all related to the token fair teammate [[Labyrinth|Jareth]]<ref>(They seem to actually invoke [[Interspecies Romance]] to increase their numbers and make the magic family tree *somewhat* healthier and accidentally created the [[Witch Species]] (those hybrids who aren't strong or fair enough) in the process. So here any magical talent implies that the character has a Fairy Relative somewhere.)</ref>. They do everything any selfrespecting fae of this trope does, the child stealing included and are creepy as hell.

* ''[[Spina Cage]]'' has had a single faerie appear so far. He tries to eat the main character.
