Fae, fairies, fay folk, the good folk, the kind folk, they have so many names and yet we know very little about them. Who are the Fae? Where did they come from? What are they exactly? And why are they all hot in today’s fiction. Let’s talk about that.

Undertale – a bunch of various "monsters" forced by their enemy to live underground is a very fae game
Okay my only addition is my favorite line "Not for thy fairy kingdom – Fairies away" it doesn't even need context it is just gold.
You mentioned about 1+ hour videos.
I do love the longer videos, but I tend to have to watch them in umpteen parts thanks to my stupid work schedule at the stupid hospital.
These half an hour videos are ideal for me personally.
Also, Witcher III In A Nutshell video when, please…?
The Witcher I and The Witcher II videos were absolutely hilarious and I love them.
3 seconds ago…..damn I’m fast
Love hearing about folk lore, like fae, fairies, werewolves and many more, especially the way you tell and explain the history behind those stories. Thank you.
Ah, Oko. The snack that brings the snacks 😍🤤😍
Have you played or seen Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning? If you haven't you should check that one out. The Tuatha Deohn are some of the main villains and it has R.A. Salvatore creating the game world and Todd Mc Farlane working on the art. I'd be surprised if you haven't heard of those two. 🙂
Hadn't noticed, but congrats on the 100k subs! Definitively well deserved
Lol I'm here because you're so much more than the Witcher, it's just lucky to find that you yearn to learn & share.
She's baaaaaaack!
Also, I'm sure you've seen the Canadian TV series 'Lost Girl', all about the Fae?
The Fae do play a HUGE part in the Dresden Files series of novels, including them encompassing a large and varied plethora of different creatures.
Damn you got snotty girl glow up, love it
today i learned i am a goblin therefore i am a fae
One of the RPGs you can play in the World of Darkness (that Vampire the Masquerade is part of) is one where you play a human kidnapped and replaced by a Fae. I've never played it so I can't speak to the mechanical side but I like the concept so much.
For modern books/games, D&D has a pretty wide range of fae lore and I've heard Dresden Files delves into it as well.
I WOULD SACRIFICE SO MANY HUMANS FOR WHOEVER THAT IS AT 10:50
Favorite storyteller returns
A Proper Bird video? What a rare, yet exceedingly pleasant surprise!
As always a fabulous lore video going into great depth. Thankyou for in A way a great story, considering you'd be great at audio book story telling. Still think Koudelka is underated as a classic, same for pararaite eve 1.
Anyone who's interested in fae related stories should check out The Dresden Files, they check just about every box for classic fae and Butcher makes great use of those traits to creates some of the most interesting morally grey characters in any media with the winter court. Except "morally grey" doesn't fit, they're more… on the sideline of morality?
Bit sad the Changeling TTRPGs or the October Daye novels weren't mentioned, but I suppose somethings must be left out to keep these videos manageable xDD
Awesome as usual, Jinzee. Looking forward to the next!
Only video game I can think of that's about fae is Folklore, a very good but fairly obscure RPG for the PS3. It's basically what happens when someone takes traditional Celtic myths about the fae and crosses that with Pokemon and turns into a dungeon crawler. A game I would definitely recommend…if it wasn't so hard to find these days
Fae are Jewish?
Labyrinth movie is definitely about the Fae
1. Oh of course the Jesus folk came in to complicate matters!
2. Workers would likely be better off if the Fae replaced Jeff Bazos.
3. Gold star and a sticker for using panels from Sandman, Jinzee.
4. …Orgies you say?
5. Peter Pan sounds dark as shit, man! No wonder why A.C. Wise wanted to do adult retellings.
6. Can't help but think about that Torchwood episode that centered around Fae and how their existence in the Doctor Who universe is far from the weirdest shit they've put out.
7. Any thoughts on the comic series Fables? Bill Willingham's questionable worldviews and attitudes have come under reevaluation over the past few years with emphasis placed on how said views crept into his most well known series.
8. "Literally a sugar baby"
9. Autism equaled fae apparently
10. A future video on exorcisms might be cool if admittedly depressing in places.
11. VAMPIRE FAIRIES!!!
12. "These fae fuck!"
13. Keep on rocking the blue hair!
even when I zone out and loose track of what your saying, your voice is so soothing
11:53 Why do I get the sensation that I have seen that scene on Berserk? Or at least the part about the entrails going around trees sounds familiar.
The music in the background sometimes reminds me of something, a point and click game but I am not sure which one.
Sorry … going off topic … pretty good expose you have there. It's impressive to see how those stories were used to ellicit obediance at the time.
Great video as always, Jinzee! 😃 I love folklore! Your take on things is always thoughtful and I could listen to you read a stack of user manuals. 💜
I admit that I never cared too much about fae/fairy creatures, until I discovered the RPG nook Changeling: The Dreaming. The book not only has interesting lore on each of the playable creatures, but the book itself is an incredible work of art that I'd recommend to anyone that like fae, rpg, or simply creative drawings. I never got to play it, but there's a ton of potential in it.
Hot?
Well, if you are into having your skin flayed to serve as a canvas or like dancing yourself to death or being enslaved to the whims of an utterly alien being maybe.
That is how they are usually portrayed in most stuff I see, though I have been called a hipster before, for reasons.
The ttrpg shadow of the demon lord is a great example for this. Don't mess with fae people!
I always am hit hard with the final fantasy 8 world music.
Oh man art is censored in that picture at 6:20. I like how the Fae were heavily influenced by Christianity and not complying and playing your role in serf society meant that they would tear you apart. This was all about power and maintaining the status quo by those in power.
Thank you for this! Been trying to study some of stories of the fae and this helps
A someone who writes stories and want to do one with Fae yet am scared to start because there's a lot to them, this was the best video to help ease my nerves and learn more new stuff about them
She's pretty awesome, isn't she.
"That's rough buddy."
Full snort. Well played.
Jinz! I love your videos. I finally figured out your intro music. It was pushing some unknown nostalgia button in my heart/brain, bringing back happy and contented feelings. FF8 was one of the best gaming experiences of my young life 🙂 Thanks again for your great videos and the impromptu trips down memory lane! 😀
If you are looking for modern fae stories, I highly recommend several books by Gene Wolfe. They run the gamut from other worldly to Arthurian and are fabulously written. These include:
The Knight and The Wizard (a duology)
There are Doors
Castleview
The Sorcerer's House
As a bonus he was best buds with Neil Gaiman. Wolfe wrote the intro to one of the Sandman books. I also have a signed copy of "A Walking Tour of the Shambles", which they co-authored.

Boy, did D&D take A LOT for 5e, with the Seelie and Unseelie and all that
A good example of True fairies/Sidhe is The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
You know creator is top notch quality when even if you do not know anything about the topic nor ever shown interest in it, you will still come and check the video because it will be a masterpiece, thank you for turning me into a video snob Jinze 😎😄
From now on I will always carry a loaf of bread with me for protective reasons UwU
Thanks so much for the enjoyable video Jinzee
Why the heck do I think that you (Jinzee) and the host of Mythology and Fiction Explained would make a decent and interesting colab duo?
This is relevant to my interests.
Fae creatures and the Seeli and unseeli court are still very much a thing in D&D. If you were looking for games that have fae creatures 🙂
Your voice is so soothing, not gonna lie 😂
