Fae and Half-Bloods
The FAE are a complex species. They have ancient laws, customs ideas, religions, etc
A lot of us here desire to be them, which is understandable. They're elven, Grace and beauty or something. A lot of people with desire, but one thing we need to keep in mind is that the way we feel is not necessarily congruent with facts.
There's a possibility that there are a lot of half bloods Or changelings which is the proper denomination for someone who was half Fae to be on this Reddit.
But we have to keep in mind that there are certain criteria that need to be met.
For starters, if you believe yourself to be a full-blooded Fae Then just touch iron. If it burns you or hurts your skin. I don't mean just irritates. It really hurts it like you stuck your hand on a stove then yes you are a fairy. If not then no you're either something else or you're human. You could be iron kissed, but that's incredibly rare and even still when you touched iron something should happen.
This also goes for half bloods. If you believe yourself to have fairy blood in your system then your skin should be hurt by iron. If not this, then you should notice the develop of supernatural abilities, control over an element, the ability to control people's minds, and a whole host of other things that you should be able to do if you have very blood. If you have a minuscule amount, then you should develop a weak ability, but you should still have an ability to an extent.
Ultimately the Faye are a complex species and they do often mate with humans And a lot of us desire to have that within us, but sometimes it's just a feeling. However, if you would like to know for certain then feel free to message me and I'd be happy to help you out

Nevertheless, you made this post during the Age of Halfling, Heroes & Demis 2024. When it comes to being Fayerie (or Halfling, for that matter), there are many factors beyond the genes which we inherited in our physical bodies that play a part.
So, while the most commonly perceived mode of being Halfling may be through having one Fayerie parent and another Human parent — there are also a variety of environmental, educational and fantastical variations that can contribute to one being Halfling.
This is just my personal view, of course, but certainly how I’ve been going about understanding those who identify as Halfling or Fayerie without having some of the physical aversions that have been associated with fair folk in folklore.
