In fairness teaching fairies seems to amount to "here's a bunch of complicated math" and work just fine.

If they're named after whatever DVDs are on the shelf, I guess some Court Fairies may also have names like "Air Bud", "Total Recall" or "Chainsaw Massacre".

This comic just made me go look up the movie Bugsy. Apparently it won 2 Oscars. Good choice, guy who's obviously not worth remembering.

If she was named after the movie, why is it hard to pronounce that, right? Maybe the guy had a super thick accent and pronounced it something like bookseys.

"Brick are you just naming them after things in the office?" "Her name is Lamp." "Is her name really Lamp, or are you just saying that because you saw it?" "Her name is Lamp. Her name is Lamp."

"It's not true!" So now we find out whether they've drunk the Kool-Aid or if they are some sort of genuine breakaway sect from the Forest. Maybe all these forest folk really wanted to play with patterns, but Coyote just doesn't like having that much structure around.

You know, for all the animal folks like bunny boy, who were probably at big risk of you know, being eaten everyday or where looking for food and shelter is a huge deal, the trade off of 'work all day everyday' is worth probably not dying so much. Uh, aside from the one time where they have to. Dunno how the fairies fit in. Where are they on the food chain?

The hollow fairies are born without minds or spirits, according to Coyote, and to be reunited with them, they have to pass the test. "The court wants what it wants." I guess the hollow fairies are produced to be unhappy until they come to the court.  I guess it can seem like their idea that way. They have no families, and maybe no concept of how much they should be made to work? And they can just hang out in the ether, so they don't complain too much? Seems like their labor is extremely valuable.

I mean, considering they can work on autopilot and just goof off in the ether, maybe they're genuinely okay with the situation. I think it's a question of whether this is something they're accepting in full awareness, or are kinda duped into it. It seems like from the court's perspective though, they're just harvesting forest souls to power a bunch of clone automatons. While the actual consciousnesses of those souls just have ghost parties all day. A bit sketchy.

The court definitely has ulterior motives, but hoping that it does turn out that life is generally pretty good for the converted forest folk, especially considering the whole "forest good court bad" kind of vibe we get lately with things mostly seen through Annie's perspective.

Conversely, was it ever stated definitively that humans can't get fairie bodies? I feel like they'd be so culturally disparate from trueborn faeries their lives would be miserable, but I can't recall if it was explicitly forbidden/impossible.

As far as I remember the family turning into birds is the sole example we have so far of the reverse transfer. So I have no idea.

I dunno, it seems like a pretty sweet deal already. They have to work all the time, but they don't need their brains to do their jobs so they can just put their bodies on autopilot and then play together all day in the ether. No one tries to kill and eat them, they're out of the rain and the cold, and they don't have to be constantly foraging for food. I still think they should get weekends and holidays off though, the court is being a real jerk about that.

It'll turn out that the Court does give them weekends and holidays, it's just that the fairies don't bother taking them.

So since Bugsy was apparently specifically not really fit to do much more than teach, there's probably other fairies that have graduated that have more specialised or delicate jobs? But to our knowledge we haven't really seen any of them yet? Maybe the security lady that was keeping tabs on Robot, but I don't remember if the comic said it or not.
