Fairycore (or Fairywave) is an aesthetic surrounding the theme of nature, soft pastels, butterflies, magic, flowers, soft animals like bunnies, and the vibe of springtime. The term was coined by an unknown Tumblr user.
Overlap
Fairycore overlaps a lot with two aesthetics in particular, cottagecore and goblincore.
Cottage/fairy similarities:
- Old/rustic things
- Animals and forest creatures
- Gardens and plant life
Goblin/fairy similarities
- A passion for shiny objects and mischief
- A love for animals of the wild variety
- Gardens because of the dirt and sometimes bugs
