I would hope it's good, or at least decent.

What I mean by fae is any fey being. These usually tend to pop up in folklore and other sources.

Faeries (the real ones) count, but Disney fairies do not count.

Examples of fae: Faery, Nymph, Goblin (somehow, this is fae), Troll (more understandable than the last one, no, really. And I don't mean Internet troll, those aren't fae at all.), Sylph, Phooka, Nuckelavee, Sidhe, Wisp, and Leprechaun (weird).

I must note that you described internet trolls as not fae. I must say, this egregious oversimplification offends me to my very core. Have you considered the possibility that, say, a goblin could just walk up to a computer and start typing in offensive things like... like... "Internet trolls aren't fae."

I knew it! You thought you could hide your clever schemes, but I knew better. You're one of those crazy fae with their water pistols and spray paints! When will you ridiculous mythological folklore beings learn not to mess up honest people's lawns like you so often do!111111!!!!7!!!!!psi!!!! I'll call the cops, gosh dern it!!!111!!!!numbers!!!!!!h!!! I'll arrest you vandals! JUST YOU WAIT!!

Internet Trolls are just assholes.

Trolls probably aren't fae in the first place, but they are probably more fae-like than goblins.

demons but not as ugly and more manipulative
Avatar of Hyphero
Well, demons are more alluring, but less beautiful.

It really depends on your perception.

Everything depends on the perception or portrayal or something of any given thing, based off of someone's existing preferences or opinions. Maybe. :D
I think sometimes people might consider some fae to be demons, and some demons to be fae, and such, as well.

They have an odd, sometimes harmful sense of humour, and a strong sense of justice, but are generally decent and overall love a bit of craic.
Avatar of Cipherfalcon
They're interesting, though it really depends on how they're portrayed in whatever setting you go to.

What exactly determines whether something is fey, anyway? Is there any official definition? I wouldn't classify trolls as fey, for example... Hmm...
Avatar of Hyphero
It all depends. I don't know an official definition.

Trolls really don't seem to be too fey to me.
Avatar of Cipherfalcon
I could actually probably say that I like those fancy creature things in general, because they're kind of fun to learn a bit about. Across most cultures, probably. They can be very interesting, I guess. Though some are probably better than others, in different ways.
