consistency? never heard of her

ok. firstly, I'm so sorry for how late this page is being posted. I did not realize how taxing thanksgiving would end up being this year. I didn't leave my self enough time to work on this page earlier in the week, and my family's insanity ate up all my free time during the weekend. I'm really sorry about the delay and I'll try to do better in the future. Secondly, after the next page(which is the the last part of this scene)there will be a 3 week break from Haunted Ties  due to personal irl stuff and x-mas. Ill still be posting Haunted Ties related things like: some character redesigns; how sam,tucker,+jazz got their powers; how those powers work; background elements like buildings, or ghost's lairs; and some past danny stuff. hopefully thats not too much of a problem for anybody. and lastly, I've rearranged some scenes to better fit the over all plot. so the next scene after this one wouln't be with present danny, but it'll feature a flash back with younger danny. hopefully it will be end up being shorter than this scene which has taken way longer than I originally thought it would. the scene after the next will be with present day danny, soooo... that might make it ok??? maybe???

   Anyways, Elves in mythology are sorta... bland. like they're just pretty humans with magic, and there's not really all that much too them until they start getting lumped together with other types of fairies. after that they get a bit more interesting, turning into tricksters and either helping or hindering people. but thats sorta what most fairies do anyways soooo... yeah elves were kinda boring before Tolkien got a hold of them(and then everyone started ripping his elves off and making like 50 zillion variants just as same-y as the last) and so in keeping with the norm here's my version of elves.    they're your standard run of the mill fair folk with all the things you'd expect; tree loving hippies, movie star pretty, more magic than they know what to do with, live way too long, aerobatic, stuck up snobs,  yah know standard elf stuff.     two big differences 1- they ain't noble.    nothing prim or proper about them, they love one thing and one thing only, partying. they party and party hard. they could be described as a never ending frat party. they'll act all superior to other faeries but they ain't, at all. 2-they are brood brood parasites    they don't raise their own kids, ever.    elf children either get passed off to another species of fairy that does take care of their young or they get put in human foster care.     and as far as elves are concerned this is really no big deal. elf children look identical to humans until they hit puberty, then their magic starts to kick in and they follow it's pull till they meet another fairy, and boom! stage one of an elf's life cycle complete. they may now move on to the unending party that is elf adulthood.      the problems start to happen when an elf decided to go the more classic "changeling" route when getting rid of their offspring, and swap their baby for a human one. this is rare but happens once in a blue moon.    for the human baby they tend to get left someplace far away(but were they'll be found by somebody) cause elves think its funny, and the elf baby gets raised by humans with no one the wiser to what happened.    things are fine until the elf kid reaches puberty and realizes what they are, leading to all the psychological trauma one would expect from something like that.    changelings tend to try and pretend they're human for as long as they can before their human parents realize something strange is going on and then they usually run away.       changelings don't integrate into fairy society well due to the influence of their human parents, being more inclined to live in the fringes of human society than interact with other fairies, especially other elves. this character is one of those elf changelings,He ran away from his human home before hitting puberty cause he had a sh*tty human family(not normal but also not that strange). and while he does interact with other fairies, he's extremely shy and nervous around anyone outside of his adoptive fairy family.    also his color palette is entirely intentional and means exactly what you think it does.
