The ending of Hilda is hialrious actually.
Local science aunt menace who was exiled to a windmill and then later threw herself into purgatory, kidnapped a baby once, made a zombie, and almost killed an entire town twice creates teleportation technology over the course of one afternoon and then proceeds to immediately and willingly sell her soul to the queen of the fairies not twenty seconds after that.
It is implied that the fairy queen got the short end of the stick on that deal.

I don't know if this was addressed already but how many fae types have we seen or heard of so far?
Off the top of my head, the two main classifications of fae seem to be nocturnal fae and diurnal fae, and there are several other kinds of fae that fall under each. Here is what I can recall:
All fae have pointed ears.
Depending on the subspecies of fae, they may have additional traits or powers.
Some fae can make their own magic, as well as absorb magic from nature to use.
Generally, fae govern certain natural elements such as fire or water.
🌙 Nocturnal fae
Nocturnal fae have many yet-to-be-named subclassifications; for example, both Lilia and Sebek's mother and grandfather are considered nocturnal fae but Lilia resembles a bat/ and Sebek's family resembles crocodiles.
The Zigvolts’ specific subspecies have not yet been formally named to us. Their subspecies is known for having scales and a strong bite.
Lilia says that "his kind" of fae can live up to 1000 years. It is said in book 7 that he is a bat fae, which may explain his weakness to the sunlight.
The language of the nocturnal fae sounds like animalistic snarls, grunts, and growls to the human ear.
Dragon fae (Dragon fae are also most likely a subspecies of nocturnal fae, which may be why the Briar Valley army’s slogan mentions the night. Malleus, as well as the Draconia line, are dragon fae; they are descended from actual dragons. Dragona fae are considered babies at 200 years old, teenagers at 500 years old, and adults at 1000 years old.)
Lilia, Malleus, and Sebek demonstrate enhanced senses. Lilia and Malleus also have enhanced physical abilities (strength, speed, etc.)
It is implied that fae in the Briar Valley are nocturnal fae. Additionally, silver hair is more common for nocturnal fae. Blonde hair is not common.
☀️ Diurnal fae
They do not get along with nocturnal fae.
The Fairy Queen from Fairy Gala is considered a diurnal fae.
Pixies are a smaller type of fae that fall under the "diurnal" category; they speak in a language which sounds like bell-like tinkling.
Pixies are usually associated with the various elements of nature so there are fire pixies, water pixies, and flora pixies.
We also see crafting pixies (those are the ones with blonde hair and leafy clothes), which fix items and can make a special bell which translates pixie speech.) The leader of the craft fairies is named Macy.
An honorable mention goes to dwarves, which were suggested to be a kind of fae. In 5-55 of the main story, Yuu thinks the Seven Dwarves are a type of fae because of their pointed ears:
However, even if you select the bottom option it’s not confirmed that the dwarves are a type of fae until a few chapters later (5-59) by Jamil.
It’s not stated whether dwarves are diurnal, nocturnal, or neither. Based on just aesthetic alone, I’d guess diurnal.
