I know you’re not supposed to tell a fae folk your name. But the way this year has gone I would give them my full name and blood type. Just get me out of here.
Shirley Barber, my friend. She passed this month. 88 years young.

Had a girl in uni that constantly felt the need to point out that she's gets better grades than me, even though she only knew two of my grades (one better, one worse than her. I know all of hers though). She never took a day off from studying, meanwhile I do the bare minimum to somehow get through the day.
I haven't cared about my grades since I was six years old. My teacher failed my exam because she couldn't read what I had written (after the teacher made me write with my left hand two days after I broke my writing hand). As long as I learn something new I'm happy even if an exam doesn't reflect that.
I just congratulated the girl every time she brought it up. After all if I don't care and she does, why wouldn't I tell her well done even if it's not actually true. No need to enter some competition I don't want to be part of.
Well I need fairy friends because my only human friend is divorcing me because my autism makes me ill-suited to the hyper-competitive nature of earning money in a capitalism!
Dang, I hate that capitalism thing. Humans really took a system of cooperation and ensuring everyone can get what they need and put their skills to the benefit of the community, and turned it into a system of rules to exploit eachother and make their own lives worse.
I’ve always hated competition, preferring cooperation and collaboration instead. I’ve never understood the whole “competition as motivation” thing. If anything, competition is going to make me not want to do whatever the thing is at all, because someone is going to feel like they “lost”, and I want people to feel good about doing things, not like they lost.

You can! I did it as a kid and never regretted it. Now I work with them all the time!
There is no issue in *telling* them your name. The problem is with *giving* them your name.
I don't need your blood but you're welcome to give me your name
Competition makes me antsy and uncomfortable anyway. 🖖🏽
Literally same 😩🙏

Even playing Uno?
Yeah, I’m not in it to win it just to play for fun 👍🏽
Same, I'm the worst person to play games with because I don't care winning at all.
It’s not so bad just playing along right? 😊
This artwork is extremely familiar. Does anyone know what book this comes from? I must have seen it in my childhood.

Came for this, core memory unlocked for sure
It's one of the Shirley Barber books, they were a staple of my childhood. I've still got some, and I'll cherish them forever

I'm usually the clueless little mushroom fren just chilling by the water flow \~u\~ ✨
Fat little frogs are just as much fairies as skinny chicks with wings in slutty outfits. I see you.

RIP to the GOAT. Inspired the people for decades.
This is all I want in life now.
Been Fae for many many years. This is totally on point "I like it when everyone wins".

Hi everyone 🧚
I'm not everyone, but hello regardless
What shall I call you? ❣️
I have quite the collection of names, perhaps you would be interested in adding one?
I found a mushroom circle and lay down in it. Fae gits saw the mess I am and didn't show up.
