>be elf>immortal creatures of infinite knowledge>jolly fatman arrives>end up working for him at the whims of his entire raceWhy the fuck did they take this deal?
Why does any reclusive powerful man end up with oompa loompas?
>>151842092The Swedish version has him just be a really big and important one himself.A christmas elf is a tomte (also called tomtenisse), and Santa is Tomten (The Tomte)
>>151842092y’watched the whole thing thru, huhhttps://youtu.be/cY1yQbIbbrY?

>>151842092Because when not working, he fucks them silly.
>>151842092If Santa is a cool boss, it's probably not a bad gig.
>>151842092It was joyful at some point.Also if they're anything like Lotr elves they'll be having a midlife crises for thousands of years as magic withers away so maybe spending your days making joyful things for kids isnt so bad.
>>151842152They need a slave race but not a sad one
>>151842092elven milk.
>>151842092You'd have to be a maniac even to think of giving an elf any tools, unless you want their initials carved on your forehead.
>>151842092Well it depends on how you want to view Santa? If you go back far enough he the equivalent of a jolly Odinic wanderer similar to Gandalf but without any manner of divinity. If you wish to say he is a Saint then he used the power of god, if you want to say he is an invention of the Coca-Cola corporation and got them all addicted to sugar which is like actual coke to them due to how their brain functions.
>>151842092>>be elf>>immortal creatures of infinite knowledgeI think you're mixing up the historical usage of Elf (mischievous and somewhat-friendly sprites) with the post-Tolkien usage of Elf (immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings).
>>151842092Cute pomni doll
>>151842092Cause ol' Saint Nick has a mean left hook and you don't want to get on his bad side.
>>151842488It was funny to see that of all the Christmas specials. The Santa Clause soft reboot is the only one that really acknowledged they're much more akin to gnomes than elves
>>151842092Oh hey, I drew this
>>151842092What do they eat?
This wasn’t the artist’s intention but I love the idea the idea that pic related is more of just a then vs now for the same elf
>>151849053Serious question, anyone else dislike how small Christmas Elves are? Don't give me the usual shortstack excuse. I rather hate that they are smaller than dwarfs. Wish that they were taller.And another thing anyone resent how they keep depicting Santa and his elves as making outdated toys? And I don't mean action figures or Barbie dolls I mean seriously outdated types of wooden toys. You would think that with modernity Santa and his elves would be shown making things modern youth would want like video games. Or at least when it was relevant video game Toys To Life like Skylanders and Disney Infinity.
>>151849053She seems happier, must be Christmas magic.
What are some /co/ fantasy elves that could use a christmas makeover?
>>151842092Curious, but anyone else resent dark elves? I hate how for example Owl House included them to sneak in a shitty nigger. I don't care if dark elves have their own Non African roots I'm just tired of seeing shit skins. And I really hated how in Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series Zelda's founding ancestor is a shit skin woman. Seriously, an all white bloodline and the founder of the bloodline is a dark skin elf bitch? That's bullshit even for fantasy. Especially since the same dark skin elf had sex with an animal goat man, how does that produce regular white elves like Zelda? Again even for fantasy that makes no sense.
>>151849086Weirdo
>>151849064For Nisse/Tomte/Tontu, they are average/above average height.
>>151849064>And another thing anyone resent how they keep depicting Santa and his elves as making outdated toys? And I don't mean action figures or Barbie dolls I mean seriously outdated types of wooden toys.Santa doesn’t cater to western children and pivoted to the 3rd world. I imagine there’s still a lot of poo kids playing with wooden blocks and sticks.
>>151849075she's cutepost her feet
>>151849075would
>>151845814Eh, some versions of "elves" or fae or whatever, most of them are interchangeable anyway, are humanoid demigod types anyway.
>has powerful magic>enslaved lesser beings to do his bidding>big beard>pointed hatSanta Claus is the greatest wizard.
>>151849064That's just propaganda, Santa shut down his workshop years ago and started outsourcing and importing his products decades ago. Now all the elves just sit around and get drunk everyday like every other arctic dweller
>>151842092>>151849053This is what happens when your dumb hyperborean society running off of tree magicks is consumed by ice and sinks to the bottom of the arctic sea due to shifting tectonics, and the only person who is willing to sustain your people uses them as labor turning those sacred trees into toys.
>>151845711It’s like, you know, industrial retraining. Even gods have to move with the times, am I right? He was probably quite different thousands of years ago. Stands to reason. No one wore stockings, for one thing. He was probably just your basic winter demi-urge. You know... blood on the snow, making the sun come up. Starts off with animal sacrifice, y’know, hunt some big hairy animal to death, that kind of stuff.
