I dont know if this was asked before but what do fairies and perhaps the firstborns think of their non fairy counterparts? Regular Skeleton monsters. How would their treat them?
Like eg. Instead of a human child wanders into the forest what about a skeleton child?
Or an adult skeleton?
The Big folk are not only just humans, but also regular monsters as well. While it is true that monsters hold much magic within themselves, this magic is in fact slightly different from fairy magic. They may be able to experience the magical world with much better ease than humans, but fairies are strange to them as well. They live by different rules; the kind that monsters know little about.
So, in short: The Big Folk include both humans and monsters, and if monsters are not careful around fairy territory, then they will be treated just the same as the humans.

You know those aesthetic image posts that float around tumblr? I'm . . . starting to see a lot on my dash that are obviously ai-generated. Are non-artists having trouble telling the difference between AI images and real photos, or are people starting to stop care about the stolen art that gets fed into those programs?

Personally, it's always a bit wild to me to see commentators interact with the Hunger Games franchise as if Collins were writing science fiction stories instead of essays with faces. She's just not that interested in fleshing out side characters or digging into the details of the worldbuilding. These characters are concepts and symbols before they're people. There's an almost mathematical precision to who and what she explores and how deeply she does it. This is a step or two away from pure allegory. If she were writing a couple of centuries ago, she'd have named her characters things like Innocence and Anger and Watch-Carefully-Your-Soul-Lest-Ye-Be-Damned, but since she's writing for modern audiences, she has to settle for puns and allusions. If she has another essay to write, she'll assign some faces to it; she's not going to look into backstories or other eras just for the sake of storytelling, and it's not a failing as a writer that she doesn't.

'Desert hermit Ben Kenobi develops a reputation as a crazy wizard because he keeps talking to thin air.'
No. This is Tatooine, talking to yourself is hardly the weirdest thing they've seen. Ben Kenobi, however, keeps having full on fucking screaming rows with thin air and seemingly gets replies back, which is decidedly a step up.
(They've managed to piece together that a major point of contention is the acquisition and raising of a child? Clearly Ben is a wizard that had a bitter divorce with a desert spirit and is working through a custody dispute)

Rise Ramblings #325
So, we also know that this boy is bad at basketball.
Like, really bad.
Yeah, th-that was just terrible.
But, it made me think.
How is this ninja scientist so bad at this game? It’s just hand-eye coordination, after all.
I mean...
His shots aren't terrible, but they just bounce right off the hoop/backboard. It's almost as if he's aiming at a target-
So, wait. What’s the difference between basketball and pizza darts?
...the arc. Arcing the ball requires a light hand. In other words, it requires restraint.
I believe, that Donatello has great aim, but is terrible at restraint because, when he tries to toss something, it misses the mark.
But, when he throws something...
it’s deadly.

the idea of gay dads post-nimona movie ending is so funny to me because imagine you're ambrosius and you and your husband adopted this little shapeshifter that just found your husband one day and your child looks at you and tells you that she had a baby gay relationship with your great-great-great-great-great-etc-grandmother about a thousand years ago like id be so distraught /hj
