Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process
Added DiffLines:
* UncannyValley: Many spirits are described with noticeably ''off'' traits to mark their magical nature. The Horned Hunter CastsNoShadow and deliberately terrifies people with his [[MalevolentMaskedMan massive deer-skull mask,]] while Maidin and Artio don't leave footprints--Maidin [[PowerIncontinence trails water everywhere,]] while Artio trails frost because it's winter. Artio also has very large bear-fangs in an otherwise human mouth. The Lady of Scales has long, claw-like nails, and Ned notes that her skin doesn't feel normal when he takes one of her hands.

** You and your spouse get kidnapped one day and it's a very difficult journey back to your daughter, so when you finally reach her, she (understandably) thinks you're dead. Later on, you find out that [[FromBadToWorse your kidnapper is targeting HER, too.]]
** Your son nearly gets killed just because he's gay.
** Owen has a vision of Alima's mother [[spoiler: hanging naked from a tree.]] Later on, he says that Alima found her. Since Owen's vision sent him into hysterical screaming for his mother, he was experiencing it as Alima.
** The Hunter disguises himself as Mal and [[FoodChains enchants the already-drunk Alima with magical fruit,]] then drives off with her. The rest of the group doesn't notice, because of ''course'' they trust one of their friends. When the real Mal gets back and they tell him Alima's gone, [[OhCrap he has no idea what they're talking about.]] Later on, Alima realizes something's wrong and [[ProperlyParanoid stabs the Hunter.]] She wakes up with the car stuck in a freeway ditch, and the police officer tells her she's been missing for ''at least'' an hour.
** The Fairy Raid. Every seven years in the Celtic countries, seven people get cursed as "marks" and killed by TheWildHunt. No one can tell who the marks are until Samhain, and since Hermes only saved two people because he happened to be traveling in Brittany, it's pretty much a death sentence. [[UpToEleven And sometimes the marks are foreigners, like the American Song family.]]
** When the Lady of Scales brings Ned to the Otherworld, she asks him suddenly about who the "other" Alima was: His deceased Muslim sister-in-law. While his [[HappyFlashback memories about her start out happy]] as she and Jordan begin a relationship, get married, and have children, the last one is where Ned finally remembers that [[DeathByRacism Alima died in a hate-crime after September 11.]]
** Brighid and Owen have a shared flashback to when he nearly got killed by the Knights of Aaron in high school. While Owen's getting stitched up at Mal's house, Mal's dad Richard is on the phone, frantically begging Matthaeus NOT to come over because [[CorruptChurch the Knights are still in town and they might attack him, too.]]
** When Lucy calls her ancestor Corazon by using the offering pool, Corazon asks if they're ''still'' looking for Ned, and if it's been this long, TheFairFolk might not give him back.
