Definitely Fae if she lives on black licorice, that thing is absolutely not meant for humans
- Black licorice is S tier, especially the good and plenty variety
  
  Sure... I'm proud of my comment, I'm now making a list of all the Fae users of Lemmy. You guys can't trick me now!
  
  may I have the name of your list (so I can remember it of course)?
  
  Good & Plenty is fine but too sweet. Salmiakki is god tier!
  
  I'll have to give it a try sometime
  
  I’m all about the Australian soft kind myself
  
  S tier
  Only of it's salmiakki
- Either that or Danish. They love that stuff over there for some reason
  
  Norwegian here. The Danes licquorice consumption does not impress.
  The Finns, however... Scary people.
  
  All the Finns I know are delightfully weird.
  
  I am a Finn. How I can tell if I am delightfully or some other way weird?
  
  Don't forget the Dutch. 😉
  
  Ladkris mmmm
- I love black licorice 🖤
  I'm not entirely sure what Fae is (I'm guessing a fairy?) but I'm from a magical land called New Jersey so I'm pretty sure I'm human
  
  Fae are like, earth spirits. Not exactly malevolent, but tricksterish, deceptive and vengeful. Not to be trusted. Never eat their food or play their games. Don't fuck with their animals or their homes or they'll gaslight you to death
  
  Oh, I've met one of those, I call her Mom.
  
  Fae depending on which lore you refer to (usually) means like an umbrella term that includes fairies and any other being that is magical and aligned with nature (but not a beast; dragons aren't Fae for example)
  
  Jersey is best state. Can't stand black licorice, but my mom and much of our family love it, so I'll accept it. But Jersey is best state, it bears repeating.
  
  I should visit new Jersey one day, see what all the hype is about
  
  Yes! Every time I see someone making NJ the butt of a joke, I feel the need to reply with a love letter to New Jersey, because it's legit awesome and I love it 🤍
  
  Yep, it’s a great highway
  
  I just woke up and haven't had any caffeine yet so you're getting more or less a copy/paste of a comment I've written previously. Enjoy!
  They don’t call us the Garden State for nothing. Northwest New Jersey is beautiful, very rural with loads of outdoors activities along the Delaware. Central Jersey has Princeton, which along with the gorgeous campus has a super beautiful downtown. There are farmstands with fresh Jersey tomatoes, corn, and peaches all over the place, and we have a bunch of nice wineries! We also have the Pine Barrens (home of the Jersey Devil!) which are beautiful. And despite that stupid MTV show*, the shore is not just loads of drunken assholes. It has tons of boardwalk stuff to do, and the beaches with tags are usually pretty nice. Plus we have Atlantic City!
  *(Side note: the cast of Jersey Shore are fucking bennies from New York, they’re not even from NJ.)
  When people shit on New Jersey, they’re thinking of Camden (Philly’s fault) or Newark (NYC’s fault). There are definitely ugly industrial areas of NJ, but that’s not the entirety of the state. Neither is the parkway.
  Come visit. Have a pork roll, egg, and cheese on a bagel. Bike down the boardwalk. Spend a day at Great Adventure. Check out Lambertville (and New Hope!). Go tubing down the Delaware. And then when you hear someone bash NJ in the future, you’ll be able to defend us ;)
  
  NJ is fun to tease.
  its shape seems perfect for the highway
  its an ugly part of nyc
  an ugly part of Philadelphia
  and Atlantic City went way downhill (admittedly haven’t been there since Trump was bankrupting casinos)
  But actually yes. One of my buddies from college was from a very nice part of NJ, exactly like you describe. Well worth visiting and really shows off what a great place NJ can be
  
  It's the armpit of America. You can tell you crossed the state line because of the smell. The rest of the state gets.. better, but that's a low bar.
  (I grew up in New York and honestly I'd even take Jersey over where I live now.)
  
  I had a history teacher in highschool who refused to acknowledge the existance of new jersey. He was from New York though so maybe that had something to do with it
- Avoids sunlight, literal-minded, and hisses at strange women?
  I'm not trying to be mean, but she's probably on the autism spectrum. My girlfriend has it and this is her to a T.
  
  There's nothing saying being Fae and autistic are mutually exclusive conditions
- Dutch double salted liquorice. Delightful.
  
  Gimme dem DZ Drops
- Shit, in the netherlands we basically live off of that stuff. The per capita consumption is two kilograms, which puts ut at the tol of the list of global consumption.
  Every supermarket pretty much has an aisle dedicated to licorice in all forms. Sweet, salty, spicy, soft, hard, dipped in chocolate… you name it.
  I’m amazed some people don’t like it. Though I’ll concede I’ve obviously grown up eating it since before I could talk.

  So... how hard is it to visit these legendary isles, I mean... country...?
- Licorice is wonderful. When I was a little kid, half the reason Halloween was my favorite holiday was because there were packs of only orange and black jellybeans, the only good flavors.
  Panda licorice now, it's amazing. At our airport there is an all licorice vending machine, all different kinds but of course since it's in an airport it's expensive.
  
  I know there's like a billion jellybean flavors but if the orange one you speak of is also orange fruit flavor, it ranks low on my list. Unlike licorice though, it's edible.
