I wanna write a fairyland book but opposite. Like normally the human girl is taken to fairyland and has to deal with cruelty and riddles and everything. I wanna write about the fairy prince who finds himself on earth and for the first time has to handle people being NICE to him and having to learn how to be human
Ooo yes! I love the idea of him being out of place because people are actually nice and he can get a taco without having to answer these riddles three and sacrificing his hand. And because you said fairy prince it just makes me think of him encountering lying, just straight out lying, and being like, ??? You can do that??? Why do I have to manipulate and twist words to have three different meanings and make you think something other than what you want when you guys can just say shit???
‘what great power do you have that you can speak such falsehoods?’
‘uhhh it’s called being human, kid’
‘And my people think you all feeble, when you can spout untruths without it burning your blood!’
My god, someone teaching him sarcasm and trying to figure out if something like “yeah, GREAT job…” counts as a lie or shouldn’t because it’s a different category of speech. Bonus points: reality/blood burning not giving a shit what they think it should be
Oh but think about the first time he hears sarcasm like he literally wouldn’t understand it at all ‘you mean… You are telling the truth but in a tone that suggests lying? Tiny human how do you step through life without such terror. I thought the games of court were bad but it is nothing on your life’
“Yeah, sure that sounds REAL scary buddy, I’ll watch my step”
This poor elfen prince just wants to go home where things make sense and beings don’t invite their own deaths except in the usual ways.
Okay but him going ‘i just want to go home’ and being greeted by stares from the entertained humans who befriended him because ‘okay we may not have this right but don’t you have like, screaming bogs and murderous trees and stuff in fairyland. Like you can’t even say thank you because you’ll owe someone for it?’
‘yes…’
‘and you want to go BACK there?!’
‘at least I know the rules! Here you have no rules.’
‘thou shall not murder’
‘thats not a rule its a game ruiner’
