There would be *a lot* to say about the #LittlePeople, or #HiddenPeople!¹
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 #Irish one, the Danann², or Danaan. In this #mythology, 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 #England: they are often called pixies, or #fairies. 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 #Scotland), 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 #Iceland, 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 #dwarves.

In fact, #gnomes, dwarves, #elves, 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.

This... may be the most ludicrously-titled book I've ever encountered. Found in my local garden centre in Devon with the coronation stuff. Who'd have thought, he dreamed big all his life, and that's all it takes to be King, be you never so humble...

@cstross just for the rage.

2/

I was a kid back in the mid- 1970s to late 1980s – #MastersOfTheUniverse ( #MotU ) toys were among my childhood toys.

Seeing modern MotU toys makes me feel nostalgia 🙂

So when I saw that #Mattel had announced they were creating a cross-over line of #LittlePeople toys for toddlers of MotU characters last year — I pre-ordered them (back in September 2022) for my son 🙂

Toys like these might be "for kids", but they are sold to the parents. Since parents make the purchasing decisions.

…I’m here for sword-fighting #Lesbian #drama & cute bookish brown guys (eventually learning self-confidence?).

In a tale dealing with legacy’s burden, flashbacks to the original #Willow movie were perhaps unavoidable, but I hope there’ll be less as it progresses. However, I’m happy some original #LittlePeople actors returned & hope they get to do more cool stuff.

I like how your body is tied to your magic, so powerful effects take a toll.
