Harknott Pass
Was where I saw
The Fae king last
Dining, dancing fast
Ambrosia, tempting fruits
Waltzing around lost hope
Eyes full with delight
It was everything
But alas
I would not eat
King Eveling & his court
Shall not keep me

Okay. Time for me to share my absolute top tier waifu, Eunice. She is one of the eligible bachelorettes from the Wii video game, Rune Factory Frontier. She's such a sweet chubby baby and I love her. (Yes, she is canonically on the chubby side.)

Woodwoses (wild men of the woods) had superhuman strength, were deaf to the word of God & would think nothing of snatching a child & eating them. Adults had to be on their guard too - male woodwoses abducted human women due to their insatiable sexual appetites
