In #folklore/#foodlore, to consume the food/drink of the fae is a dangerous act. Many fairy tales and Gothic fantasies draw upon this superstition, including 'Childe Rowland', 'Goblin Market' (1862), & 'Pan's Labyrinth' (2006) #FolkloreThursday
I drew another Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon related art. In the games, you can marry a bachelor/bachelorette by giving them a blue feather. So, I thought that there would be no other perfect person for Rosajon to give a feather to than Lucah. @Proton_Jon @lucahjin
