F

Charismatic power, magical influence over mundane objects, his jacket and bike are totems of power, ageless, love of mischief, unexplained origins, only follows his own rules, unnatural luck, ethereal confidence.
Fonzie is fae.

...except he's the worst attorney...

They do have different uses, as well as "flavours".
E.g. if you end up in fairyland, you'd likely expect something more child friendly and whimsical. If you end up in the land of the fey, that's a far scarier prospect.
It's also akin to having different words for dwarf, elf, orc, and human. They are all big, with 2 legs, 2 arms and a head on top.
-
F followed by whatever vowels, huh? Is this a fairy? -> furry
-
In parts of western Pennsylvania and Maryland, yup.
-
Vowels. Plural. You only used one. Could've at least gone for "furries" xD
-
I can imagine furry being a subclass of the fairy taxonomy.
-
-
If I ever write a fantasy book, I will use phae or or phay or phairy just to mess with people.
-
You can use fhairy, like fugly.
-
I vote for phairy.

Confirmed: Guy Fieri is a Fae.
-
Have we ever seen him cook with a cast iron pan?
-
Do not eat anything offered to you in flavortown. No matter how off the hook it seems.
-
-
Mythology also has worms, wurms, or, in some cases, wyrms. All pronounced the same, but they tend to get bigger the further down the alphabet the vowel gets.
-
By this logic, nematodes are warms
-
If you hail from certain rural counties in Utah a generation back, they always have been. Just ask anyone from Spanish Fark.

There's actually a good reason for this:
Calling them by their proper name draws their attention, and they are horribly violent, terrible creatures with no empathy or morals. None of those spellings are "correct" for this reason.
-
There's also sidhe and seelie, and other related variations in spelling for that, too.

A bit hairier, and not quite as dainty as we'd in mind for the Neverland role. But as you're the only one to answer cast-call, Mr. McBoatface, let's give it a go, shall we?

🎵Don’t pay the fairyman, don’t even fix a price.. don’t pay the fairyman, until he gets you to the other side! 🎶

FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Very on brand for faeioys tbh

Ferry.
Could be quirky, ensouled commuter boats (think the boat from Windwaker), could be that that they are Navi-like sprites or winged humanoids... but they always lead you somewhere, help you cross a threshold of some kind.
Why not?

Daedra

Any spelling is fair.

Fyodor Karamazov?
-
Every time I hear about this guy, I think about the portrayal of him in If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device.
I need to rewatch that now.
-
i concur, tts is the only canon that matters too so i shall rewatch as well

It does sometimes feel a bit pretentious. Like, no no, these pocket-sized humans with wings and
fairysparkle dust, they're not fairies. They're actually farfalles, because they've got a heavy Italian accent, you see.I guess, when everyone does it, then it isn't actually pretentious anymore, but yeah, still a bit close for comfort...

Faoueuaeouyeauoeauoeaă

Faeiou(y)

Those spellings have been around since the 13th century, so it'd be kinda weird to standardize them now.
Other words we can't decide on: litre/liter, neighbour/neighbor and aluminium/aluminum
-
Gray/grey
-
You spelled it "neighbour" twice
-
Oops, thanks. Guess I can't really blame auto correct for doing its job.
-
-
Aluminium is the one and standard.

Lands of Evershade: we have Faylings and Alfs

That's an F-U in my book
