Common And Not-so-common Weaknesses: Faeries

Common and not-so-common weaknesses: Faeries

Faeries Common and uncommon weaknesses: Iron - Iron is one of the oldest and most traditional weaknesses of faeries.  In pop culture you don’t see it used too often as a weakness but it’s started to slowly get a foothold with things like Disney’s Gargoyles (TV series) in which Oberon was wounded with iron, Puck was restrained by iron, and so was Coyote.  Iron is also how King Stefan was able to cut off Maleficent’s wings in the film Maleficent.   In most folklore iron is the only metal that can cause human-like injuries to a faery and usually a part cut off with iron cannot be restored. Iron chains can be used to restrain a faery or restrict their magick.   And an iron dagger (if inducing a serious injury) might be fatal to a faery as magick will not heal that injury. They would have to recover as a mortal would.  Iron being a weakness of faeries is why horseshoes are believed to be lucky and why people used to hang iron scissors over babies as they slept, so that a faery would not steal the child.  In Marvel Heroes MMORPG if you fight the Dark Elves they will sometimes cry out “They must have deadly iron!”   Iron is a common weakness of faeries and elves (in some folklore, particularly Nordic).  Iron is a weakness of the Dark Elves in the Marvel comic books (but not so much in the movies).  In some lore the mere contact with iron will burn while in others it requires an actual injury to do harm.  In some fictions even the ringing of an iron bell will hurt a faery.  In some lore the mere contact with iron will burn while in others it requires an actual injury to do harm.  In some fictions even the ringing of an iron bell will hurt a faery. True names - In some folklore if you know a faery’s true name you can summon or even enslave the faery.   Calling a faery’s true name three times will usually compel that faery to appear.   It’s the notion that names have power and so faeries never give their young common names that helped create such folkloric figures as Rumplestiltskin (who was a literal faery / imp in his faery tale).  Calling out Toot’s true name three times is how Harry Dresden summoned him in the first Dresden Files novel.  And in Once Upon a Time Belle was able to summon Mr. Gold / Rumplestiltskin in season 4 by calling his name three times.   This lore has trickled into ghost stories like Bloody Mary, The Candyman movie franchise and, of course, Beetlejuice.

Sweets - Many faeries crave sweets.  It won’t hurt them but they do crave it and can be used to lure some types of faeries into traps.

Gold - in the Rare exception of the Dullahan (headless Horsemen) gold will ward them off.

Lemons - Apparently in some modern lore faeries do not like lemons for some reason.

Truth - Many faeries in folklore cannot out right lie. They can deceive through careful wording but they cannot directly lie.   This is hinted at with some of Rumplestiltskin’s dealings in Once Upon a Time and comes up in many folktales.

Note: I thought about adding decapitation and fire to this list but I’m not sure about those…

"And may we continue to find security in our vulnerability baba" dina added Raising her glass to erik's to cheers, then she put her glass. dinner was going fantastic and dina couldn't be happier with how much closer she and her father have gotten in a few hours. She finishes her musakhan and moves onto her qidreh.

It felt so genuinely nice to be able to talk about the best and worst parts of herself without judgement, as well as getting to know her father as he is without the indurated strength he used to protect himself everyday without his helmet.

"Besides the school getting bombed every other week and some students being assholes, I must admit it's better than catholic school" dina shrugged holding her hands in mock surrender. "And I finally got some friends that aren't just my parent's friend's kids.... although I do think that kurt and mystique are related they look very similar" dina says smiling when she mentioned kurt, having a weird fondness for the blue teleporter

Magneto stands at the edge of the training grounds, his imposing figure casting a long shadow. The air hums with a quiet intensity as he watches Dina practice, his expression unreadable. With a deep breath, he steps forward, his cape billowing slightly in the breeze.

"Dina," he calls out, his voice firm yet gentle.

As she turns to face him, he approaches with measured steps, his eyes studying their face closely. "I am Magneto," he begins, his tone carrying the weight of his name. "I've come to speak with you about something of great importance."

He pauses, searching for the right words. "I know this may come as a shock, but I am your father. I have watched you from afar, knowing that one day this moment would come."

Magneto's gaze softens, a rare vulnerability showing through. "I understand if you have questions, or if you feel anger or confusion. But know that I am here now, and I want to be a part of your life, to help you understand your abilities and your heritage."

He extends a hand, a tentative yet hopeful gesture. "Will you allow me the chance to explain, to show you the truth of who we are?"

Dina grinned and got into her seat then she put on her seat belt on, "well Peter did say something about trauma tasting better paired with barbecue, but I'm not taking advice from a grown man who lives off twinkle and stolen french fries.... not that the twinkle aren't stolen" she shrugged as erik closed the door.

"Your idea sounds a lot better" she said with a chuckle at the end,"what's it called?" She asked wondering if she might have seen it while Jubilee dragged her along with the others for shopping. Then Erik got in the driver's seat and started driving.

"I didn't even know that they had restaurants with food from the middle east.. mama usually said restaurants didn't care for our food so I.... I guess she was wrong" dina said looking at Erik.

Finally Bringing Slutty Men Back To Comic Book Media Let’s Gooooo

finally bringing slutty men back to comic book media let’s gooooo

This made me laugh

Dina nods looking out the window at the passing lights, "the term Normal was just invited so that people could feel better about themselves and put others down" she provided her insight. "And everyone's got a different definition of 'normal' based on what information and experience they've had with the world" she explained.

"This evening was sort of normal to me becauseof how calm and warm it was, but it was also new to me going to a restaurant with food from my home with newfound my father" she chuckled. As her dad parked the mustang at the school.

"I also enjoyed learning about you baba, I've heard so much of magneto from those around me that it's really nice to finally hear about erik lehnsher from the man himself" dina smiles

When erik leaned in to hug her dina then transported them out of the car and hugged her father back tightly. "Sorry car hugs are too awkward" she laughed before pulling away enough to look at erik "the fact that we don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow is the adventure" she said taking his hand leading him inside as her powers opened the doors and closing them behind them.

Then she let go of his hand and left to go to her room for the night "goodnight baba" she said going up the stairs, leaving erik alone with his thoughts.
