Ah man, absolutely. I've never thought of getting carcasses, I usually just get chicken wings to make my pre Christmas gravy stock.

Youre right though, they must have loads.

It hits different reading this whole thread.
Alt text: Image showing four text messages about fae in romantasy books: Message 1: “Romantasy question: are the fae open source? I had only known them from SJM books, but didn't expect to see them in Quicksilver!” Message 2: “Didn't have getting dragged in the comments on my bingo card today. Thank you to those that were kind. I'm new to romantasy and fantasy in general. Until I had read SJM, I hadn't encountered books with fae described like that. I didn't make the connection between Celtic folklore, fairies, elves, or sprites with being fae since their characteristics and mannerisms are drastically different. Tink is tiny. Puck has goat legs. The closest I encountered were elves in LOTR, but those were not faeries.” Message 3: “Forgive me for not knowing fae were inspired by Celtic folklore. I'm not Irish. I was never told these stories. I was just surprised two separate book series shared very similar interpretations of fae. I've enjoyed the genre of romantasy bc it's really gotten me back into reading. That's the goal, right? To continue to learn and escape into stories and discuss theories and celebrate the beauty of imagination? At least, that's what I'm gonna focus on.” Message 4: “Clarifying my original point: I never said SJM invented fae. My post was only comparing how Quicksilver and SJM depict fae characters (their traits, dynamics, etc.) and whether THIS interpretation of fae is common in romantasy books, not the origins of the mythology. I also didn't grow up connecting fairies, elves, and fae as one mythology. They were always separate in my mind, so I'm still learning how interconnected they are across folklore. Thanks to those who pointed that out respectfully.”
