Mum:hey -
Me, returning from a walk in the woods after still being unsuccesfull in getting abducted by the fair folk: I don’t wanna talk right now
Ye olden days: “ we must never go in there, the fair folk may take us away from this world”
Millennials: *banging pots and pans together in the middle of a mushroom circle during a full moon on an equinox * “IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMETHING ABUCTED ME RIGHT ABOUT NOW!”
hot take; our eagerness to get trapped in the faewild is offputting to the fair folk. they know how decietful humans can be so they stay the fuck away from us now because surely we must be up to something if we WANT to be abducted. it looks like an obvious trap to them
