Dark side

There are numerous lore surrounding the existence of fairies. When one thinks of their existence, they see a beautiful soul with a sense of mystical powers encompassing them. However, behind that mesmerizing façade is a being full of mysteries that aren’t necessarily for the good; mysteries that hold a darker touch to them.

This is especially true for young children who are dragged into the entertainment business without the ability to protect themselves from the horrors that await them in the future. These once-vibrant young souls grow up surrounded by a barrage of unreasonable expectations, forcing them to push the boundaries of their own mental well-being. We must remember that someone who has been fawned over will never grasp the remainder of the equation since they have not grown enough.

Using them as inspiration, we want to demonstrate the connections between each country's fairy legend and the mental challenges encountered by child superstars.

The French fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood" (or "Little Red Cap") is about a little girl and a wolf. The narrative is based on a folktale, which indicates that it was originally spoken orally before being written down. The gloomy aspect of this narrative is the wolf devouring both the child and her grandma. Showing the true brutal nature of this creature.

The mermaids, or sirena, are marine creatures who are half women and half fish, according to legend. They reside in the water alongside Dugong and other marine animals. Known as the water's protector, they safeguard and maintain aquatic life. Sirena are said to despise humans since they are responsible for the destruction of marine life.

Sirena have an enchanting voice. They will continue to sing until they attract men. He'll locate them if he listens to their voices. The mermaids will immobilize him. They proceed to drag them underwater where these men meet their demise.

Creating a parallel between sirens and gender, we strive to show that sirena doesn't have to be restricted to one gender. When it comes to desire; gender holds no bounds.

Heather Pixies have clean or golden auras and delicate translucent wings, similar to other pixies. The moors and the heather that covers them attract these faeries. They are not averse to human interaction, yet they do not seek it out. The connection between euphoria and heather pixies, lost in its transcendence, does more than exaggerate.

A world full of enchantment, desire, and mystical beings, where each soul has a mystery within it, expressing themselves and their pasts via dramatic and exaggerated nevertheless dangerous beauty.

This whimsical beauty contains a deceptiveness within it that draws naive individuals to it, encompassing them in a world of beguiling beauty.
