- The Tale Of The Bunny Picnic (1986)
@sunkissedfawn This looks so vaguely familiar and I wonder if I have seen it and I just don’t remember it well for a reason. I must have been very tiny, like younger than three if I had to guess the reason. It looks so squeakin cute.

Spielzeit Bestiary #7: The Spielzeit Fae
Tales of fairies have been passed down from generation, with various descriptions of what they actually are. Some stories depict them as small, flying humans with the ability to grant wishes, others say they are beings not to be messed with, to never tell your name to, lest they steal it.
But in the case of the town of Spielzeit, their fairies are somewhat mischievious. The Spielzeit Fae, sometimes referred to as "The Smiling Fairies" or "The Giggling Sprites" by locals, are a group of creatures that supposedly roam the woods near Spielzeit, particularly near common picnicing areas or fields.
The actual appearance of these creatures varies greatly from one another. According to locals, there are 8 variants, each with their own personalities. The few common traits in all 8 are their huge, believed to be never changing, smiles and their childlike laughter.
[DISCLAIMER: THESE DESCRIPTIONS ARE BASED ON PUBLIC SUPERSTITION AND RUMORS, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE]
1. Welpe: The Welpe Fae are described as being small, orange Cocker Spaniels, surprisingly similar to the appearance of another piece of Spielzeit folklore, the Sun Dog. Welpe Fae are commonly seen playing with the other fae, and in some cases coordinate pranks and heists for the other fae.
2. Jungtier: Jungtier Fae are described as small, red Bear cubs. Jungtier Fae are said to be incredibly clingy to other fae, and in one case, humans. They seem to show a form of affection through this clinginess.
3. Hase: Hase Fae are described as small, bright green bunnies. Hase Fae have been said to be incredibly energetic, and in some claimed "heist" encounters are the ones said to run off with whatever it is they stole.
4. Huhn: The Huhn Fae are said to be similar to baby chicks in appearance. Huhn Fae, according to locals, usually try to "one up" the other fae in their activities. What this entails is up for debate.
5. Ferkel: Ferkal Fae are said to heavily resemble a common piglet. Ferkel Fae, in most encounters, are usually the first seen, eating whatever they have stolen from the poor sap that crossed them.
6. Kalb: Kalb Fae are described as being small, sky blue elephant calfs. These fae are said to have a great memory. According to local baker Annie Puntz, she gave a Kalb a piece of cake, and the next month, it brought her back a flower.
7. Eins: Eins Fae are commonly described as being very small unicorn-like beings, with white fur and pale blue manes. Eins fae are theorized to be incredibly artistic, as a few locals described witnessing an Eins fairy using the cherries from a cherry tree in the town's Fruit Basket area to paint a rock.
8. Kätzchen: Kätzchen Fae, strangely, are said to highly resemble a tiny version of The Grinning Cat, down to the deep purple fur color and the big grin. Another interesting comparison to note is their tendency to "sleep". Encounters with Kätzchen fae usually start with the witness finding it asleep before waking it up, causing it to run away.
More often than not, groups of fae contain more than one variant, if not all 8. The first documented sighting of the Fae came from the late Dave Fitz, who described having a picnic with his grandchildren, when suddenly a Welpe and a Kätzchen appeared, trying to steal food. Mr. Fitz shooed them away, only realizing later that night that that was a mistake, as he found a huge group of the Fae ransacking his home.
Since then, it has become tradition to leave a piece of food out for the Fae during picnics, even if they never show.
Ranger Angelo Floros was asked about if he believed the Fae were real.
"I, personally, find these rumors to be a load of bologna. Fairies only exist in fairy tales. As for the supposed laughter, there are plenty of children here who love to spook their elders, and this idea of laughing fairies is perfect for them! I have no further comment."
Whether they exist or not, the Spielzeit Fae have become a big part of their folklore, even serving as one of the many creatures celebrated during their Summer Solstice festival, along with the Sun Dog.
All we ask you is...do you believe?

sour grapes - 최수빈
soobs || unedited , food
masterlist
Tumblr media
“don’t you think we should just stick as being friends , y/n ?”
you look up , pasta still draping from your mouth as you were in the middle of eating. your eyebrows furrowed.
“i- i just feel like you’re not necessarily happy with me , i’m busy 24/7 and i feel like i can’t meet your standards , i just can’t be the type of person to make time for you , i would certainly love to- but let’s be honest , it hasn’t happened in 2 years and it just feels like you’re sort of trapped.”
Oh, I don't know either
It's sweet, I mouth-watered, this is truly love
I'm staring at you for a long time
your eyes scanned soobin’s , he didn’t know how to tell you but he wasn’t truly in love with you anymore , not to mention he had fallen for someone else in the past week , he knew it was too short of time for him to actually fall for someone , but he didn’t want to keep deceiving you.
you cut off the pasta with your teeth , swallowing the amount in your mouth. was he really pulling this stunt off in public ? “you have made time for me soobs , like last week when i took you to see my parents , or the week before that one when you took me to see yours. and the week before that you took me to the amusement park , or how about the week before that when you took me on a picnic date.”
soobin’s excuse failed immediately , looking around hoping nobody saw you turn down his break up attempt.
Waiting for it to fall into my hands
I want to have it easily
An romantic fairy tale
When climbing the ladder
I'm feel dizzy under my feet
“oh and even right now ! you said you had a meeting but you quickly got it over with to take me out today !! thank you soobs !” you stated. you picked up more and more of your pasta with you your chopsticks , bringing it up to your mouth , eating it.
“well.. but still i just don’t feel like i’m showing you a whole lot of attention , it feels wrong.” soobin remarked , a pink shade beginning to cover his bunny-like cheeks. were you going to embarrass him right here. honestly you weren’t one for revenge , but you weren’t going to let him humiliate you in public by leaving you there.
But even if I stretch out my arms a bit longer
I can't reach it even if I lift my heels
Love that can't hold hands utterly
Oh, I'm the only one who's going to get hurt
Yeah, you'll hurt me
“hmm ? what are you talking about , you show me a lot of attention , we watched that one anime you like together , the one with the girl with the pink hair… what’s her name again-“
“anya… her name is anya and it’s spy x family , we watched it together and you don’t remember ?” he questioned you , noticing how you had zero memory on the show.
“i fell asleep during it a lot because you wouldn’t stop cuddling me , you know your cuddles make me fall asleep. partially because you’re really warm and partially because you were the one to give them. i guess they’re both because of you.” you voiced , realizing you were almost done with your food , but still a bit hungry. silently asking permission to grab from his plate by putting your chopsticks over his sides , as he nodded at you.
It's bittersweet that I don't wanna taste
I don't think it's going to be that sweet
Unripe emotions, I just feel afraid
I'll never bite, I'll never bite the pain
Sour, a soury taste that makes you cry
Sour, if there's such things as love
I don't wanna taste, I just feel afraid
Love is sour, love is sour grapes
“thank you , plus what about yesterday , we spent all of yesterday in bed spending time with each other. and you take me out on a date at least every other week , thank you soobs. i really don’t think i could have a better boyfriend !” honestly all your words represented how you truly felt. everyone’s heads turned , feeling sympathy for your obliviousness to your boyfriend’s break up attempt. while others threw dirty looks towards soobin for leading you on.
what other excuse was he meant to make up , he didn’t want to seem desperate to get out of a relationship with you , he truly did love you but he didn’t want to lead you on.
“Are you done with your food , bin ?” he nodded , removing himself from his distracted state , as he watched you put his plate on top of yours making it a little bit easier for the restaurant staff to clean up.
When an eye passed by
I feel nervous at the end of my heart, sometimes
It's my first time feeling this heart
I'm wondering if you could take one bite
Losing all eyes on the redness of the fruit
Grapes on the tip of the branches
I imagine if it's sweet
you took out your wallet getting ready to pay , as he stopped you giving the waiter his card before you could. soobin couldn’t stop getting distracted , his mind was somewhere else as he thought deeply. he didn’t want to go through with breaking up with you anymore the thought of letting you go seemed terrible now that he was experiencing it first hand , he took a few days to gain the courage to even tell you.
as the waiter brought back his card , you grabbed it seeing soobin look out the window depressingly.
“soobs …” god was that mere crush worth losing you , was he really going to let you go for a crush he got within a week. his eyes began to pool with water. “hey binnie , are you okay ?”
he looked up at you nodding , grabbing his card , putting it into his wallet as he let out a deep sigh , swallowing the lump stuck in his throat that caused it to burn a bit. he grabbed your hand as you two walked out of the restaurant and into the heavy rain. soobin opened his umbrella , covering the both of your bodies , mainly yours , he didn’t mind if his shoulder got a bit wet.
But even if I narrow it down one step at a time
I can't hold your hand
The love that lies above the ladder
Oh, I don't want to be the only one who gets hurt
Yeah, you'll hurt me
the two of you entered your apartment , as you entered before soobin , you face him. admiring him as he took off his dress shoes , putting on his bunny slippers , looking up to see you staring at him. all the guilt washing over him once again as he struggled to smile at you.
“soobs… you.. you can leave if this relationship is really that torturous to you. i just didn’t want to end it in public..” he watched as your lip trembled , it must’ve hurt having to pretend to be completely unaware in public. “i didn’t know i was making you feel trapped in this relationship , soobs , you should’ve told me. that way you could’ve been happy out there.”
his heart shattered seeing a lone tear fall out of your eye. his lips becoming dry , as he didn’t know what to say. he hoped you truly were unconscious at what he was trying to imply earlier , that way he wouldn’t have to tell you that he changed his mind.
“y/n..”
Don't get me wrong
I've never exactly liked you
I don't feel a bit sorry
I tricked myself all day, all night, yeah
his mind crosses back to the day his so called crush confessed to him , it was just yesterday that they claimed to love soobin and would do anything to make him happy. truth be told , he had his happiness right in front of him , he wanted you and only you. how could he have been so blind to choose someone over you. you were there for him.. always , you took care of him when he was sick , exhausted , sore. you always watched any anime that he forced you to watch , like the time that he forced you to watch all 307 episodes of inuyasha within 4 days , and somehow you met that deadline.
you were always there for him , you even offered to massage him as long as he would be happy and get out of the boring and sad mood he was in. and you were willing to deal with his scary attitude when he was completely upset. and you were there to listen to all the enraging rants he had about his day. you even recommended to sleep together since you knew he could sleep anywhere at anytime but his own bed at the time he needed sleep the most.
“y/n i don’t want to let you go… i don’t want it. you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me , i don’t know why i said that. i thought i would be happier with someone else.. but you’re all i need. i really really love you , you do so much for me , you take care of me. im grateful that you didn’t leave me there at that restaurant , thank you for helping me come back to my senses , what was i meant to do if i lost you.” he walks over to you , engulfing you into one of his right embraces. “you’ve never made me feel trapped. i love you so much.”
you felt your back become awfully wet. feeling his damp cheek against your shoulder as he crouched to make it feel like you were hugging him from above.
“i love you too , soobs.”
Grapes that are not ripe yet
Maybe it's not the time for me
Your scent is still unripe and green
I'm feeling scared, I'm feeling scared, yeah
Sour, a soury taste that makes you cry
Sour, if there's such things as love
I don't wanna taste, I just feel afraid
Love is sour, love is sour grapes

Someone just went through and liked *all* of my Bunny Picnic posts from last year. 😂 Someone must have searched the tag, and my posts are probably the only ones there are. 🤣😂🤣😂 IT'S NOT JUST ME! I'M NOT ALONE! 😂 (Now I'm gonna go listen to The Drum of Time and be totally normal about it... actually, that is only half true... I *am* going to listen to The Drum of Time; I am *not* going to be normal about it.)
