#OGOMCon2021 #GothicFairies

Indu is going to focus on the third episode of the series, 'Kingdoms of the Moon'. It has flashbacks to the Burgue/Pact war, and features the fairy homeland, based off Tir-na-nog Irish myths

This rewrites the Victorian fairy-human romance, and colonial narrative. The intertextuality of the fairy princess tale with the 'real world' romance between Philo and Vignette is a thread throughout the series

The relocation of the fairy library to The Burgue echoes the ideas of theft with The Elgin Marbles. Vignette's role of library guardian has been stolen from her, flashbacks depict the trauma of colonisation
