      Charismatic power, magical influence over mundane objects, his jacket and bike are totems of power, ageless, love of mischief, unexplained origins, only follows his own rules, unnatural luck, ethereal confidence.

      Fonzie is fae.

    They do have different uses, as well as “flavours”.

    E.g. if you end up in fairyland, you’d likely expect something more child friendly and whimsical. If you end up in the land of the fey, that’s a far scarier prospect.

    It’s also akin to having different words for dwarf, elf, orc, and human. They are all big, with 2 legs, 2 arms and a head on top.

      I can imagine furry being a subclass of the fairy taxonomy.

    There’s also sidhe and seelie, and other related variations in spelling for that, too.

    Mythology also has worms, wurms, or, in some cases, wyrms. All pronounced the same, but they tend to get bigger the further down the alphabet the vowel gets.

        If you hail from certain rural counties in Utah a generation back, they always have been. Just ask anyone from Spanish Fark.

    There’s actually a good reason for this:

    Calling them by their proper name draws their attention, and they are horribly violent, terrible creatures with no empathy or morals. None of those spellings are “correct” for this reason.

      A bit hairier, and not quite as dainty as we’d in mind for the Neverland role. But as you’re the only one to answer cast-call, Mr. McBoatface, let’s give it a go, shall we?

    Ferry.

    Could be quirky, ensouled commuter boats (think the boat from Windwaker), could be that that they are Navi-like sprites or winged humanoids… but they always lead you somewhere, help you cross a threshold of some kind.

    Why not?

          I’d recommend starting with the assassin’s apprentice series first, but it’s not necessary.

      Every time I hear about this guy, I think about the portrayal of him in If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device.

      I need to rewatch that now.
