Fantasy Tails

Messing around with magical biology with some rough sketches and lore :) Tagging some who might be interested :3

Demon

Another take on the traditional (?) demon tail! The heart on the end protects the demon's retractable, venomous (or just very pointy) barb.

Tails, venomous and nonvenomous, are used for balance, especially while the demon is maneuvering in mid-air. whether they are jumping or flying. flight. They're deceptively strong even though their mechanisms seem delicate and the fluff covering them doesn't appear as tough as the rest of the demon's skin. A younger demon’s tail reaches full size before they reach their adult height. Coloration depends on the demon’s primary colors, including features like hair, eyes, teeth, skin, and tongue.

Tail venom develops during late adolescence- an evolutionary process that serves two purposes. One, that the baby and toddler cannot injure its parents, itself, or its other potential packmates with a potent and uncontrolled poison. Second, that the toxin may adapt to whatever might suit the demon best as it grows. Environmental conditions are thought to play a direct role. High-level demon venom has no ‘antidote’ because it, structurally, is one-of-a-kind; antivenom would require an (albeit slightly) different formula even between identical twins. There are three official categories this venom can fall into: defensive, offensive, and constructive. Some demons will inject their venom into themselves or other demons on a circumstantial basis to help, not harm! A few toxins specifically adapt to treat a temporary condition their demon frequently suffers from- for instance, to treat extreme insomnia or muscle cramps, to dissolve abscesses from the inside, or to reset one of the body’s natural cycles. Level of toxicity can fluctuate throughout the demon’s lifetime.

Goddess

Goddesses’ legs are built for flight - not just for landing - they are very strong!

Feathers all along the tail can fan out and adjust individually, though, of course, the tail end has the most maneuverability. For potion recipies requiring the physical essence of a goddess feather, it is not usually specified whether it need be a tail or wing feather. Instead, the recipe will reference a specific altitude or bloodline. The wings and tails of goddesses contain special adaptations per their homeland and family line. A feather separated from the body of some goddess species becomes serrated and sharp like a blade, for instance, and these contain a potent defensive energy. Coloration also depends on place of origin and closely resembles that of the wings.

While aiming for the wings is considered a legitimate battle tactic, aiming for the tail is considered an extreme insult and foul play, a sentiment largely reciprocated and respected by the Demon Clan.

Fairy

The creatures known as fairies / fae / faerie display immense biological and magical diversity and that's fascinating to work with, so I added them to the list for funsies.

A fairy’s tail begins as a simple prehensile limb and grows into a symbol of the fairy’s power as they mature. In their base form, tails are most often used in dancing and in daily nonverbal communication. Fully awakened fairies’ tails transform in the likeness of their wings, sprouting insect-like appendages which greatly increase the speed and maneuverability of the fairy’s flight. For those of the highest ability, it becomes near-impossible to disorient them or to knock them from the air.

Some examples I thought up!

Dreamling Ever After AU

I have had a thought for another fairy tale AU, this time based on the fantastic Cinderella movie Ever After.

The basis would be Hob, in his lowest 1600s point, before the 1689 meeting, manages to finally land himself a job, working as a servant for a strange, sorceress lady who works him like a dog and treats him as less then one, but at least lets him sleep indoors by the fire and have food and drink.

(It's Thessaly. He gets stuck working for Thessaly)

I'm thinking that Thessaly has captured some fairy servants, and is keeping them trapped basically in her manor along with Hob, who she picked up because she can sense his immortality and thinks he's some other sort of magical being she can bind and draw power from. But really he's just so desperate for bread and board he'd stay anyway without being bound.

Hob being Hob ends up befriending the fairy servants, and when Thessaly sends one of the servants off to be tithed to Hell to get a favor from another fairy Hob goes to save him, as he's not bound as they are as the spells are ment for magical beings.

He goes disguised as a fairy noble--via help from the little magic the fairy servants are able to scrounge up and maybe an amulet they stole from Thessaly or something--to protect him from the reap fairies who will be there.

(He has one blue eye based off his Stranger's, pulled from his thoughts as the fairy servants weave the glamour around him)

So Hob's glamoured up so much to survive Faerie that Dream, who's visiting the fairy courts, doesnt recognize him (his powers are kinda wonky in Faerie anyway we'll say, wibbly wobbly Plot Convience-y) and thinks Hob is a member of the fairy courts, and finds himself intrigued and charmed by this strangely down to earth and kind fairy lord.

(During this time Hob meets and befriends Nuala who fills the Gustav/friend role, her brother might fill the spy-guy role working for Thessaly)

So yeah Hob would keep sneaking off to Faerie to meet dream after his fellow fairy servants encourage him and such, and he's also trying to search for ways to break their bindings to Thessaly and free them.

And he keeps running into Dream and just barely missing Thessaly catching him as she's of course mucking about and now has her eye on weasling her way into the Endless' graces as he's the biggest fish in the pond.

But Dream finds that he more and more only has eyes for his fairy lord, and Hob has long since fallen head over heels for his Stranger as he's gotten to finally know him these last few weeks.

During this time Hob also meets Death, who comes to check on her brother as he's spending a lot of time in Faerie and she wants to make sure he's not going after Titania again or vis versa. She recognizes Hob instantly of course, having made him who he is and knowing everyone.

She knows also sees what a good influence he is on Dream, and determines to help this along. In the disguise of an old woman she gifts Hob a pair of magical shoes-- made from ones he once gave to someone poor in his more prosperous days-- that will protect him from fairy snares so he can better navigate pretending to be part of the fairy courts (there's an old legend about how if you give a pair of shoes to a beggar in life they're given back to you in death in order to walk through hell to heaven, and I'm fiddling around with that a bit)

Eventually of course Hob realizes he has to tell Dream the truth and that he's no fairy lord, just plain old Hob Gadling, who has nothing to offer anymore, no wealth or fame or magic, but only his heart.

Thessaly has figured it out by now of course, and after burning his picture of Eleanor and Robyn after making him trade the magic shoes Death gave him, locks him away so he can't go to the fairy ball.

But he's broken out by Death, who was summoned by the fairy servants, who also managed to steal back and hide the shoes. Death makes him an outfit and encourages him to go tell Dream the truth and trust in Dream's love for him over anything else.

Aaaand of course Thessaly has to jump in and make it look like Hob has been getting close to Dream for selfish purposes, and Dream is a dork and feels he's been made a fool of and rejects Hob before Hob can explain.

At this point Thessaly decides Hob's been too much trouble and decides she'll use him as her next Tithe to Hell, and sends him off to the well they chuck people down.

Death goes and knocks some sense into Dream, who realizes just what he's thrown away and manages to save Hob (Hob may have half saved himself by then anyway-- using the one magical shoe he managed to smuggle with him--as its what happens in the movie but also let Dream show his devotion and save the dear or something. )

And finally they both are able to get their acts together and confess their feelings...

Thessaly gets whats coming to her, both from retroactively threatening the new Prince Consort of the Dreaming and having captured and sacrificed members of the Fairy Court.

The fairy servants are freed, Hob and Dream have a proper fancy marriage in the Dreaming. And they all live Happily Ever After...

I might turn this into a fic, maybe. I want to at least finish or get close to finishing the Enchanted AU fic first, and we'll see how I feel after that. But I loved the idea and wanted to put it out there to share :)

Crazy idea—buuuut…

How about some Elder Faerie Cookie x shitpost s/o HCs?

Like a blunt yet simple s/o? For example: The reader only responds with one letter responses or short sentences (“Tired”, “Hungry”, “I want to sleep”, “It’s too cold”), small enough to be picked up by him, overly lazy/tired yet extremely hyperactive(E.I. Enjoys teasing yet hardly puts any effort into it), and just shitpost vibes in general since I think it be a fun concept!

No one really knows how you came to become the king's lover, only that you somehow managed to enchant him with your personality. Your blunt personality did well with his, even if you tended to only speak and respond simply.

Elder Faeire Cookie was the only one whom you ever really teased and made fun of, but even then, you don't really do it all too often. But it cracks a smile in your lover.

He adores how small you are, even if he doesn't say it. He loves gently scooping you up and taking off with you to his chambers, merely to cuddle. After a long day, it's a nice way for him to unwind.

It actually gets a small chuckle out of him whenever you laze around. He knows you could do anything you put your mind to, but to see you merely relax was amusing. Still, he does try and push you to do more.

With your small size, Elder Faeire Cookie often picks you and either walks or flies around with you. No one in the kingdom questions it.

He's able to clearly discern what you mean by your single words. It's really impressive.
