>>29593051Interesting way to put it aswell. Most of the material I'm going right now seems to imply a control/hierarchy of sorts. I'm also reminded of that anime episode where nurse's Joy Wigglytuff is able to resist the attacks and calm down the rampaging Salamence, as well as the episode legend of another Wigglytuff doing the same with the Flygons in the past.
>>29593130I think the video above kinda helps to explain the rationale. The Fighting and Dark (Evil originally) types in japan are based on the Hero vs Evil/Villain relationship dynamic. As faeries often empower or give their blessing to heroes in order to fight evil, it could be said they're a bit above them in the hierarchy of power/good. In an alternative way, bad faeries can and often also curse the protagonists of stories (like the aforementioned Carabosse and Maleficent).
