How would modern humanity realistically react to fairies being real?
So far anyone who have been following my story Smallscale, you'll know that the main species I've been developing is a race a tiny bug people who resemble fairies, who at the time of the story taking place, live in hiding amongst humans, and are a secret.
You may also know the story takes place in 1929, but as much as I have many reasons for picking that time period, part of me gets disappointed there's not newer inventions I could take advantage of for how Miinu life is effect. So, one of the ideas I've been playing around with is a sequel story of sorts that takes place 80 years later, in the year 2009.
I thought it be really interesting if in the future, Miinu have been discovered and integrated into human culture. But my question is; how do you think I can realistically handle humanities reactions to finding out of their existence?
In this situation I'll say they do get the benefit of a 'human embassador' so to speak, but I'm not sure how much that'll help them.
Also just so I can have some fun art with this, have this OC from the 2009 timeline. She's a beetle that wants to be a pop star.
