#brogh

Faebruary day four!! Faerie of the Mounds.

@tockthegnome context: The Good Neighbors the Good Neighbors the Good Neighbors!! 💗 .......Who, being the Tuatha Dé Danann and their descendants, they who went into the mounds of Earth specifically and became fae, do not technically exist in Tock's realm.

However.

It seems that in their haste to leave Earth, some of them overshot the magic of it all and may have ended up further into Faerie itself than anticipated.

At least echoing into this realm.

At the same time that the Brogh came into being, influencing their vibe so we, as lowly humans reading this tale, perceive them with a Celtic bent.

Fun fact: Math had to happen to figure out how that exodus on Earth lined up with the Brogh's manifestation here, which led to math about how long it's been on Earth vs. how long it's been here, which led to two bits of information. Firstly, as time passes more quickly in this pocket of Faerie than on Earth, 1 Earth year is equal to roughly 7 1/2 years in this realm. Secondly, at the time of Tock's quest, it is year 402 BCE on Earth.

(AND, important reestablishment: As has been mentioned before, this realm is also quite removed in space and energy from Earth itself, so humans will NOT be appearing in this story. It is fun, and weirdly reassuring, though, to know exactly what the humans are up to while Tock is gallivanting across this other world, causing well-intentioned chaos.)

Orctober day six!! AND Happy National Badger Day!

So, a Brogh of @tockthegnome as well. Singing together, even though in canon their peoples are often at odds (to put it lightly). Harmony and healing as THE eventuality, perhaps? ✨

More @ockissweek 💋 And continuing with the Seven Qualities of Fairycraft, day five – Courage.

AND counting for my weekly devotional.

Thank Gnome it’s Friday!!

With courage being defined, in this case, as “the ability to face fear and keep going,” had to had to had to make it Strahl (Brogh – badgerfolk – warriormage) and Arella (Gnome Queen). Both of backstory, and usually tragic backstory, BUT today we get a glimmer of their happier times instead.

(Now throw that crown in the fire, Strahl, and whisk Arella off somewhere before she does something that alters the realm in terrible ways!)

(…..no?)

(( Big thanks again to @artofmisi for organizing this event! ))
