The one and only Goblin Queen

fucking amateurs. watch this *gets lost in the labyrinthine space station and never returns*

"Medieval Europe' and 'Indigenous Americans' are very similar in that whenever someone asks a question about either on r/askhistorians I want to pin them down and hold a sabre to their throat until they narrow it down to at least a specific region/culture and particular century.

The lesser-known crime of child adduction, where you sneak a kid INTO someone's home.

Changelings

Abduction + adduction.

i mean a child is abducted. that is a pretty significant thing that happens. like i understand where you’re coming from here but the fairies very much do abduct the child before replacing it

Yeah but depends on the brood parasite. Your average European cuckoo or honeyguide will kill its broodmates. So this is adduction followed by murdering every other kid.

You walk into the nursery to find all the cribs mysteriously empty except for one…

OKAY LET’S GOOO

So here’s the great spotted cuckoo (Clamator glandarius).

Like some other cuckoos like the European cuckoo, it’s also a brood parasite. But unlike them, their chicks don’t evict their nestmates! They specialize in parasitizing corvids, like the one below.

Now of course the bigger GSC chick ends up monopolizing the food supply anyway, so the magpie or crow chicks may end up going hungry.

But!

The GSC chick also produces a foul-smelling liquid from its cloaca in self-defense. So in areas where nests are at risk of predation, the GSC chick actually defends its nestmates from danger! If the predation risk is high enough, the host nests actually stand a better chance of surviving with the chick than without it.

So this would be like having a sibling show up out of the blue. They’re bigger than you and they eat your food, but you live in a bad neighborhood and they stink so bad nobody tries to mug you.

im slooowly recovering from my hand surgery… so to get back into the swing of things i did a few studies of some photos i took over the last few months. ive also been experimenting with making my own brushes - i made every brush i used for these !
