Who is your favorite fairy? If we're counting Avalon le Fae, I've gotta go with Morgan.

[@kengox77]

Morgan for me as well but Coral is a close second. Can we count the Tam Lin as well?

[@ron2millionare972]

Britomart

[@ScarleSimpMikaelOre]

Morgan.

[@one-eyedspider5965]

Melusine for me

[@weebsgowoobycrap8742]

Castoria for the win!!

[@ivanbluecool]

Story: nasu im stuck as the bad guys are gone. Nasu: poison. Final offer

[@ZEDEX252]

Britomart best fairy (perfect thumbnail choice btw)

[@ivanbluecool]

Get the bug spray ready whenever you see a fae or fairy. Surprised it took this long for people to understand they are evil.

[@ivanbluecool]

@@Get-me-out-of-Gacha-hell that just proved my point you know. How little is that compared to how many fae exist and it's hilarious you say that when three of them are not full fae and a homunculus(who destoryed Camelot btw) so they don't count and not from lb 6 either. Lb Morgan ain't good either. She taught sith to be the way she was and it's funny you leave sith out so that's a double negative on you . Even bargest was too dense to realize what the fae did under her watch too(go reread that scene) and then what she was capable of herself even understand influence. You'd make a better case saying magus aren't evil as I could find more good magus than good fae even in your own logic. Also the thing that destorys your entire argument completely. THE STORY SAID SO. The story repeats this fact so many times that they are creatures that go off of instinct and acting like humans is the strange part or an act as their true nature returns to the basic raw animals they are and wanting to have their end. The fae are based on the evil 5 that took out fluffy so nothing good comes from them as it all ends in terror. You should read the story again and make sure to remember that fact as it gets worse the more you read it. Though nasu shouldn't have wrote that as it just makes the story acts make no sense the humans are just there and fae just bugs that mess with that just because.

[@ivanbluecool]

@@Get-me-out-of-Gacha-hell"she taught sith to be cruel" I thought fae were holy good in your eyes. Summer six came later not before and while I like sith she was probably the closest to good but again your own argument goes against you. That's like saying "hf makes sense. Touko exists in El melloi" when nasu just had her appear at the end. Not gonna respond again. I can see it was a mistake.

[@kziila0244]

Evil? They aren’t evil. The majority of them are monsters, but they are like that because they don’t really know the concept of good and evil, it’s why they are so capricious and bipolar about their emotions. All they want is to follow their purpose. Those that display such concepts of good and evil are considered to be outcasts.

[@ivanbluecool]

@@kziila0244 that's literally being evil. Imagine humans first response to everything was violence or forcing themselves on something I'm sure you'd call them monsters. Aka the bargest scene or how sith was treated or everything aurora did especially to her assistant on a whim. They literally tried it on us immediately and their more human like scenes the story literally tells us what they are and what they want deep down many times. I mean your whole thing boils down to "not all of them are evil just the majority of them are" . It's not like animals that eat crops that can be seen as evil to the farmers who make them as that's just eating while the fae do what they do on base. I'm sure you know the definition of monster And remember Chaldea was gonna take them outside of lb 6. It'd probably become hunter x hunter by then or yyh where the average demon or ant is compared to the worst of humanity to scale it out.

[@kziila0244]

Why is KZbin deleting my comment? I didn’t even put a single insult or swear word in it.

[@Norbert_Sattler]

What happens to a Fairy, when her purpose is gone? For example, if their purpose was to protect a forest, what happens when that forest is no more, due to being cut down and a building constructed in it's place. Or considering we're talking about eternal beings, by continental dirft?

[@otakudaikun]

Great question. That whole purpose thing might be most relevant to the British lostbelt. I imagine in the forest example, that would mean they failed their purpose and are subject to corruption.

[@jkosch]

Last time I was so early there were still 6 Fae occupied forging a sword to battle that big white titan thingy ... Last time I was so early Misaya Ouji still thought she was using real faeries.

[@madambutterfly1997]

Please don't remind me of how Titania is considered wholly fictional in the Fateverse. After playing FFXIV Shadowbringers and the fact that one of the Main Story bosses is Titania, I was looking forward to seeing Fate's version of Titania only to be told she doesn't exist within the Throne of Heroes. I held onto hope when I found out Kingprotea has Titania as one of her Goddess components, then I found out that the Titania in Kingprotea was a titaness from Greek mythology.

[@stevepitt-ash4628]

Another fantastic lesson professor dai! Can't wait for the next one

[@tahamoukhliss8420]

Hell yeah! Bring us a lesson about those giant swallows. Oh, and if you don't mind maybe make a lesson about Deamons and True Deamons, cause that's a hella confusing subject! Even by Fate standards.

[@madambutterfly1997]

Yay. Dragons are next

[@laioszafeiriou4388]

Currently on LB6 on my watchthrough so that's nice :P

most of the fairy lore the writer of el melloi series opted over from his past series rental magica

[@jeremyberner5164]

Great lesson

[@ron2millionare972]

Oberon may be a dick, but I fell sorry for him because he knows of Titania, but she doesn't actually exist in the Nasuverse.

[@ron2millionare972]

@@thiscityisreallylookslikea8340 Kingprotea has the authority of Titania (Titan). All of her authorities come from Great Earth Mothers, so this refers to a Titan and not the character from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

[@aaronmendoza2010]

Is there a reason Titania can’t exist? We have Sita and more recently Andromeda who are the wives of heroes in the throne of heroes

[@ron2millionare972]

@@aaronmendoza2010Sita and Andromeda actually existed. Oberon says he never met a Titania.

[@PrimoItoko]

@@aaronmendoza2010 there's no actual reason even if she did not truly exist before, we have servants like Jack the Ripper and, most importantly, Nursery Rhyme after all. Titania's name has been engraved on mankind's collective subconscious and, therefore, on the Throne of Heroes, if they want to have her as a servant they can pull that off

[@paulodelima5705]

@@PrimoItoko Titania is not a hero or heroic figure so there is no reason to have her as a servant.

Do a video about Jason and the Argonauts !

[@nobuffer101]

I’m new to the series, out of curiosity, did you ever go over Rin’s jewelcraft?

[@otakudaikun]

I've mentioned it many times but never a full video.

[@nobuffer101]

@@otakudaikunany plans on a full video? Out of all the magecraft shown in fate, to be honest it’s the one I’m most intrigued in.

[@zawwin1846]

So…. Do fairies have tails?

[@otakudaikun]

I imagine the fluffy beast kind does.

[@carlosgarza400]

So even being courteous won't save you from these things

[@thomaslin1189]

Where can we find faeries in real life? Where does the tooth faeri fits in the nasuverse?

[@otakudaikun]

I think it would be awesome to have a Nasuverse tooth fairy. I'm not familiar with how old that concept is.

[@DR_REDACTED]

​@@otakudaikun The first resemblances of the Tooth Fairy date back to the 17th century in Europe. During that time, parents believed that burying their child's baby tooth under a tree would prompt the growth of their adult tooth. How ever some groups in Europe have practiced similar rituals earlier as well. Sadly couldn't find times frames for these but here are some The tooth was placed in a mouse hole near the stove or hearth, or offered to some other animal The tooth was thrown onto or over the roof of the house, often with an invocation to some animal The tooth was thrown into the fire Offering up baby tooth to a strong-toothed animal like a rodent was believed to grant the child teeth as strong as a rodent in the future. This was practiced across Europe, Russia, New Zealand, and even Mexico before the 1900’s. This led to the tradition of idolizing not a fairy, but a mouse. The European “good fairy” was a new concept in the 1900’s and started being incorporated into children’s’ movies and books thus these two ideas merged to form the Tooth Fairy.

[@Moon1tan]

The bit about Witches and Fairies does make me wonder In LB6 Beryl's mother specifically states that witches are faeries I initially thought they were separate entities before this but i guess the overlap is intentional So is it a case of all witches are faeries but not all faeries are witches, basically meaning that witches are a subspecies of Faeries as phantasmal species or nature spirits? Or is it that witches are their own thing still that happen to have similarities with faeries?

[@otakudaikun]

I don't think all witches are faeries though.

[@Moon1tan]

@otakudaikun probably not it's just a thought I had when I got to that part of LB6 since the initial revelation that Beryl's mother was both a witch and faerie had me confused at first

[@murilopenagoncalves3831]

I like how the term fairy, or 'fae', is used to describe a species of magical creatures. Not just the typical small winged humanoid ones.

[@madambutterfly1997]

Morgan and Vivian are somewhat of a distorted version of Jekyll and Hyde

[@nicholase82]

I wonder what kinds of fairy existed ancient Greece or Japan.

[@kylet8924]

Dryads and nymphs/naiads were greek fairys of trees and fresh/salt water. Echo is probably the most famous one.

[@OtakuSparrow]

Ah, the Oni you say lol

[@cuchulainn3309]

Lately I've been using Joyland AI and oh boy, the stuff I did there. Let's just say I did to Illya and Megumin something only Blabkbeard would do 😅😅😅

[@observer.b_e_l_l_i_s]

Can imagine you are no where near the only one, only a matter of time until that stuff shows up on..cultured sites. Hell even ive thought about it just clueless on where to start or which programs to use.

[@NekoKat.]

Well in complete honesty out louad ill say Morgan mostly because wify will beat me if i dont. Though ultimately i have to go with Bobahan sith of all the many characters in lb6 she is by far my favorite.

[@axelnetzahualcoyotl5223]

That was a really good lesson Dai,even though I just want to wish the worst to all these bugs with the exceptions of the faerie knights and great thumbnail choice (*￣∇￣)👍✨✨✨

[@madambutterfly1997]

Should've left a string of yarn as a breadcrumb train for other non-phantasmal species to follow. What's some part of me feel like that wouldn't work even if somebody tried it.

[@9Godslayer]

When was Britomart introduced?

[@ivanbluecool]

I think it was the fairy cup event. I can't remember she's so one note

[@otakudaikun]

Not sure. She hasn't hit NA yet.

[@madambutterfly1997]

How did Beryl's mother Taint her own bloodline? Because he was born male and witches are exclusively women?

[@kziila0244]

Nah, it’s because she mated with a human. Witches aren’t supposed to fall in love with humans.

[@Itachi45481]

Fairies are like Gods AKA they are mostly petty, childish and Major JERKS

[@Roto3]

Correct

[@madambutterfly1997]

"They hunt humans" cliché

[@user-fz1ng2to8b]

Gods and imaginary species were created by man from his own thinking and then discarded due to his inability to use magic, except for a group of stupid Magi who were ignorant of science. So humans came up with science, all because this stupid planet called Earth wasn't able to create magic that all humans could use. As for the fairies, I would love to see them die with the planet from pollution and the destruction of the environment and climate with the extinction of animals because the Earth was weak and was not able to create magic available to everyone 🤣 And because I still cannot believe how weak the planet Earth is that contains life in front of other planets 😂. For example, vampires are creatures from the moon that are not affected by mystery, meaning they do not disappear
