I haven't changed my header since joining Mastodon, so figured it was time. I need to retake this shot because I didn't get the Elven guards' spears at the same angle.

But for my main character, who isn't an Elf, being among is home enough for her.

The Mirkwood Book Nook, by itself.

My thoughts on the Elven entryway was that the elves had carved/constructed it to resemble the surrounding trees all the way up to the canopy. As such, I painted it grey to show the difference in material.

Finished my third novel - Muriel Barbary's The Life of Elves (2015). Not quite sure what I think of it. I get the general gist, the intention, but.

There are three kinds of fantasy: the one where there are elves, the one where there are no elves, and the one where there are 30 different kinds of elves.

There would be *a lot* to say about the , or
Each country has several beliefs, sometimes very different one from each other, but this is one of those that can be found in many places, with different names.

Probably, the most famous version is the one, the Danann², or Danaan. In this , we can find many stories about several characters who twisted their destiny with the mortals' ones.

Similarly, a less noble version of a similar concept is from : they are often called pixies, or . This is a general term to indicate a universe of extremely diverse creatures, it depends very much on the region: they can be more helpful (as the Brownie³ from ), or even extremely dangerous (like the Cu Sith⁴, a ghostly dog from the Highlands).

Also, in all places, stories have been… Christianized, in the last centuries. For example, in , it was said that the Hidden People were the children of Adam and Eve, who lied to God when He asked if she had any children. Since she was ashamed the babies weren't washed (baptized) yet, she lied, and the children escaped to a lake. From then, they lived in pools of water or in rocks… like .

In fact, , dwarves, , and similar beings are pretty much all derived from the concept of Hidden People: some beings we can't properly see, but they are real indeed — we can *feel* it. And they have a huge power that should not be underestimated.

Thinking of writing a scene in my setting where someone asks an if they are purging or controlling their emotions, and the elf replies neither: to deny ones emotions is to deny one's raw self, and to attempt to control them is as much a fool's errand as attempting to control the movements of planets. work to control their reactions, so that they do not taint the magic which flows through them with anything they do not intend.

Every magic user must learn this.

Ich könnte meine Charaktere auch mit runden Ohren zeichnen, aber wenn ich nicht gerade dazu gezwungen bin weil ich was zu einem bestimmten Setting produziere, dann, oh boi, dann kannst du dir sicher sein, dass spitze Ohren an der Tagesordnung sind.

Anyone else miss the days when were quasi-demonic nature spirits who'd fuck with you for shits and gigs instead of high-and-mighty "oh we're so much better than you" snobs?
