yo holy shit is someone still running this blog? whomst.... is doing this. you're braver than any US marine.
This ask made the blog custodian laugh.
This is already a pretty niche fandom, so the least I can do is keep running this weird little blog. Keeping the lights on as the world crumbles and all.

Okay, so I'm very new to this fandom and I am sooooo interested, but I would like to know a bit more info. I know that there isn't really a set way that this fandom works, but I would like to know this: who makes up the factions (Kirin's Court, the Garbage Court, The Lalnae, etc), and what purpose do they serve, just stuff like that
Well, that’s a bit hard to answer because it differs from story to story depending on the creators. There is no one answer. For instance, there are some stories where Trott and Smith were members of Kirin’s court before breaking away to found the Garbage Court. In others, they never belonged to Kirin’s community.
But perhaps we can talk a bit about purposes. We recommend reading about the classic fae courts of fairy tales. The courts exist to put some controls on the fae of a given region. (It might help to think of them as corporations or city states)
The courts in the magical city of UMY seem to mostly be involved in balancing each other out, controlling the magical traffic of the city. You have big formal heavy powers like Kirin, the (most often characterized as neutral) communion of witches, the chaotic underdogs like the Garbage Court. Those are common characterizations we see.
With everything in UMY, it is up to each creator to decide what headcanons and ideas they want to use. Want to write Kirin as a benevolent fae lord shepherding the city and befriending powerful witches? There are people out there who will be interested. Want to write Kirin as a bloodthirsty monster? There are people for that too.
What this mod suggests is building up ideas you want to see. We encourage you to post in the tag - maybe throw an idea out there and encourage people to talk to you about it! We enjoy reblogging headcanons and encouraging participation.
Hey, where would be a good place to start reading about UMY please???
Hello! I suggest starting with the FAQ, then browsing through the tags page. There’s also an excellent collection of fanfics on AO3. Enjoy!
A Very Happy Almost-Birthday to you, Official UMY Blog! Thanks to all you guys for your tireless work collecting and organising a bunch of contributions to this AU, without you lot we'd all be a little more lost. UMY is such a great sandbox to play in, and you're all champs for keeping this blog going, and all your individual contributions to the AU and fandom too. OK this is getting mushy. We love you guys. Keep up the good blogging! Much love from the urbanmagicaesthetic mods xoxo
Thank you friends!
Wow, has it really almost been a year? What a wild ride it has been.
Huge thanks to every single person who has written fic, made art, created playlists, shared headcanons, left comments, and created this very awesome AU. Your enthusiasms and delights in imagining this strange magical city full of incredible beings never ceases to amaze us. This AU exists because so many people have shared their ideas and done fantastic things, because of you. Thank you for being an amazing community.
We hear there’s an Urban Magic Yogs secret santa happening this year....
psa about tags
We’re following the current tumblr debacle about tag tracking, and the ways in which tumblr continues to make their site less usable. We will try to keep on top of the tag as best as possible so please do continue to tag your stuff and add to the AO3 collection. Maybe something will get fixed? Who even knows?

That’s interesting. I’m so not a poetry person, 95% of the time, but that’s an interesting image.
It really makes this mod think about how much Sips wanted to die, when he met trouble and his beautiful car. Or other people in the magical city.
Hi there, I just stumbled upon this AU and have no idea where to start or what is what. So any information you can lend would be awesome, thanks for your time.
Hi! I’d direct you to our Frequently Asked Questions to start! It’s a good place. There’s also a tag list in our sidebar where you can browse around to see some current or popular headcanons, fanworks, etc.
Basically the premise is magic/fantasty/myth in a modern setting. We encourage a diversity of headcanons and ideas, so there is no right or wrong way to enjoy characters and stories.
For people that are unfamiliar with this (And so I can explain it better x)) Can you give a ruff description? And maybe what each charcter is/about?
What is UMY? It’s an alternate universe with an urban fantasy setting. Basically myth and magic set in the modern day, with various members of Yogscast and Hat Films either as folks dealing with the magical world, or magical beings.
So we do have the Frequently Asked Questions page, with some general information.That is where I would recommend you start.
We encourage lots of different interpretations of characters. While many people run with the idea of the kelpie Smith, UMY is totally open and encourages you to do different things with him if you want. Make him a siren. Make him a fire breathing salamander. Go wild. (Seriously, do. Nothing makes us happier than to see someone put a whole new spin on a character or an idea.) We do have tags for everyone, so you can browse those and see what ideas are floating around about your favorite characters.
