Line 10:
''The thing about words is that [[From a Certain Point of View|meanings can twist just like a snake]], and if you want to find snakes, look behind words that have changed their meaning.
''No one ever said elves are '''nice'''.
''[[Light Is Not Good|Elves are]] '''[[Eldritch Abomination|bad]]'''.''|[[Terry Pratchett]], ''[[Discworld/Lords and Ladies|Lords and Ladies]]''}}
Modern society has lived with [[Disneyfication|the Disneyfied vision]] of Fairies for so long—the Fairy Godmothers of "[[Cinderella (novel)|Cinderella]]" and "[[Sleeping Beauty]]", Tinkerbell in ''[[Peter Pan (Disney film)|Peter Pan]]''<ref>Tink was actually quite capable of mischief in the original movie, but she has since been princess-ified.</ref>—that it seems hard to imagine that some would consider Fairies evil.
Line 50:
'''The Fair Folk''' are often depicted as an [[Inhumanly Beautiful Race]]. Compare and contrast [[Fairy Companion]], [[Our Elves Are Better]], [[Our Fairies Are Different]], [[Witch Species]], [[Our Goblins Are Wickeder]], [[All Trolls Are Different]], [[Our Mermaids Are Different]], and [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]. See also [[Youkai]] for a rough Japanese equivalent. [[The Greys]] is more modern trope with [[Sci Fi Counterpart|many similarities]]. An extreme example may be an [[Eldritch Abomination]] or [[Humanoid Abomination]]. When humanity appears this way is [[Humans Are Cthulhu]].
