Why Love Between Fairy and Devil is more than a drama for me
I think one of the reasons I am so obsessed with LBFAD is that it is incredibly healing for me. I have some mental health issues, mainly traumas from a past relationship and from my professional life, which have made me numb. For years I can barely feel joy or sadness or any other emotion, apart from fear and anger, cursed to be perpetually in a fight or flight mode.
Seeing DFQC being devoid of emotions is so relatable. Well not in the villainous sense it is depicted in the show, but if my feelings were a tree, it would be cold and in decay.
Just like Xiao Lanhua revived his emotional root, this show has revived my feelings as well. I fell in love, I laughed, I cried, I empathized with their pain and sacrifice.
Also, I love fantasy and escapism, I love watching movies, tv shows and reading books. I am a fan of LOTR, Star Wars, Harry Potter, MCU, but the past few years I could barely watch or read anything. I lost focus and nothing could help me escape reality or use my imagination and creativity. This is the only show which has managed to have such a healing effect on me and I can't move on. I don't know if it is due to the production, the story, the characters, the worldbuilding, the acting, (Dylan's amazing performance *cough cough* ). I am guessing it's a combination of all the above.
If someone told me a year ago that I would be addicted to a cdrama, and I would be watching multiple cdramas after that, I wouldn't believe it. I didn't even know they existed. And now a year later, a show about a fairy and a supposed devil (if only devils were such puppies like him), has rekindled parts of me I thought were gone forever. And the best thing is that I can finally watch and read (maybe even write) stories again. I thought I had lost my ability to escape in them for good.

[Piofiore: Episodio 1926] Character Drama CD Vol. 3 Orlok Translation
Track 3: Heute ist die beste Zei.
Summary: Orlok realizes what this growing feeling inside of him means...
Translated by ear so it might not be 100% accurate.
・゚・:,。★ translation under the cut ★,。・:・゚
*sfx: door closes*
“Meow”
—Ah. I’m home. So you were awake. I’ll get his food ready. You keep Notte company, alright?
*sfx: walks over*
“Meow, meow”
Here. From today on, this will be your plate. The two of us chose it together.
*sfx: places plate down*
“Meow”
Mm, it looks like he likes it for now. Is the food good?
“Meow, meow, meow”
Hm? Ah, are you saying you want to share your food with us?
“Meow”
Um, Notte. I’m happy, but she and I already ate so don’t worry. Eat up, okay?
I also bought some toys, so let’s all play together later.
Hm? What’s wrong?
Eh? Ahh, I guess you’re right. It feels like he’s gotten bigger than when he first arrived. Kittens sure grow fast. I feel like his fur became a bit nicer too. It’s pitch black and beautiful. Plus, I think he’s gotten cuter since the beginning.
Hm? Why are you smiling? I’m a doting parent? Ngh, I don’t think so though…
“Meow… meow”
Ah, Notte climbed on your lap again. He’s been doing that a lot lately, huh? I suppose he likes it?
“Meow”
It looks like he feels good getting pet. It’s a bit unfair. I mean, I…
Eh? Ah—no, you don’t have to pat my head. Ah, it’s not that I don’t want you to… it’s just, I’ll get more and more spoiled…
Ngh, well… just a little then…
Mm, that feels nice. I really love your hands.
It’s because you held my hands—it’s because you didn’t shake off my hands—that I’m here right now. You have no idea how many times these hands which are smaller than mine have saved me.
Ehe, thank you. I’ve had my fill. Now if only Notte would get off your lap, it would be perfect—.
“Meow”
*sfx: licks*
Ah—t-t-that’s not allowed! Ngh…
“Meow”
Notte, no licking her mouth.
“Meow”
Nope, no can do. After all, she’s my girlfriend. I’m the only one allowed to do those things—err, n-no. You should mind too. The mouth isn’t okay, even if it’s Notte. I don’t care if it’s childish. I want to do these things properly.
I-I’m not pouting.
“Meow”
Hm, Notte? *Sigh* he looks kind of sleepy. Even though we were discussing something important. Geez.
“Meow”
Ngh, I got it. I’ll take you to your bed, okay?
*sfx: walks away and comes back*
*Sigh*. Notte’s not fair. I’m always putting in tons of effort to hold back.
Ah, what I’m holding back on is probably different than what you’re thinking.
Huh? Well, that’s… at first, I was just happy holding your hand. My chest felt warm and fuzzy. I thought, ah, I want to protect this person—no, I will protect them. I was satisfied just being able to be by your side. That alone was enough. Even so, when I kissed you for the first time, my chest became all hot. My feelings of love for you grew more and more. I wonder when it started… the feeling that simply kissing you wasn’t enough grew larger. What should I do? What do I want to do? I wasn’t sure.
Before we came to England, back when I was working in Lienz, the shopkeeper did a lot to help us out, right? At that time, I had the opportunity to ask about a-a lot of things. And so… I feel like I came to understand what these feelings of mine meant.
—But how you feel is even more important, so…! I… don’t know how to put this. Up until now, there have been times where I kissed you whenever I wanted, wasn’t there? Even if it troubled you, you didn’t stop me. Because of that, I thought that you would definitely spoil me and forgive me, and I was sure that you… also felt good when you kissed me… since you loved me. So what I want to do now… is… w-what comes after that. If you don’t want to, then we won’t.
*sfx: hugs*
Ah, h-huh? You surprised me by hugging me so suddenly. You’re kind of like Notte.
Ehe, how cute.
Hey, when you’re hugging me like this, I don’t feel as nervous as I did before. However… now, my heart races much more than before.
I want to treasure you. I love you the most in the entire world. That’s why…
That’s why…
*sfx: kiss*
Let’s… do… what comes after kissing.
