>an elf falls in love with another elf and have many centries of happinessDoes this ever happen or is the dead/doomed to die human romance angle too juicy to pass up?
It is too juicy
But that's how half-elves are made. The world needs more half elves
>>94881179Gonna repeatthe world deffo needs more half-elves
>>94881179>>94881186Agreedthere should be more half-elves
>>94881224based
>>94881120It happens all the time, it's just not usually the focus of a story. Stories are usually about the unusual and dramatic; you don't tell stories where everything was mostly ok and nothing much happened, but that is what most elven romances are. Elven couples are the norm for elves. If you went to an elven city, most of the couples in that city would be elves.
>>94881179>>94881186>>94881224Disgusting.

Romance general?
>>94881637Drow women fuck demon dogs
>>94881120I like the Arcanum approach of "Half elves are mostly the result of young elves slutting around a little before they settle down and move back home to live serious, responsible elven lives."Of course, Arcanum elves don't believe in marriage, instead practicing an extreme form of free love where monogamy is considered to be corrosive to society. But they only boink other elves as adults, albeit all other elves.

>>94881369Except in this one it is canon that the offspring of such a relationship are biological dead ends and end up sterileIt is weird that the author doesn't mention it

>>94881545
>>94881120It depends, which game are you talking about?...you're talking about a game right?
>>94881976A real stupid thing to post about the setting where that's a major driver of the core plot. Stay on topic, please.
>>94883130
>>94881120most elves have elf partners, otherwise there wouldn't be any elves>>94881363100% correct
>>94881740In my setting, half-elves are a result of the fact that elves mostly have arranged, predetermined marriages, but don't consider it cheating if it's with a short-lived race
>>94883489https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g5Hz17C4is
>>94881120If a setting has elf populations, then there presumably are loads of happy elf/elf couples around. But in terms of characters we focus on, yeah it's pretty much all elf/human.I blame a mix of writers copying Aragorn and Arwen, with also the fact that elves tend to be the most conventionally attractive of the fantasy races, so if you want to both have an elf in the main cast and give your default human man protagonist a love interest, giving him an elf gf is a good way to knock out two birds with one stone.
>>94883507They did the romance arc real good in that show
>>94881120I think the idea of Elves seeing Humans and half Elves as socially acceptable lovers compared to Orcs Goblins and Dwarfs. Especially for an Elf Adventurer/Traveler, since it only take 20 years over the 100 years for a full blooded Elf to raise them. (Plus could see Elf Nations see Half Elves useful for boosting their armies, especially after a war and all.)
>>94883614>100 years vs 20I'm so tired of saying this but humans and elves mature at the same rate abd adulthood is more social than biological
Don't fall for elf's shameless flirting, do the right thing and throw knife-eard trash away.
>>94883507Aragorn Is not human.
>>94883813curses, one drop rule strikes again
>>94883743Yes, both Elves, Humans, and Half-Elves grow at the same rate. However, most Half-Elves get annoyed about the socially been seen as children for 80 years longer then a human. That's a classic Half-Elf trope and reason many leave their homes.
>>94881120>>94881369>be human guy>get the hots for an elf chick>decide to become a cultivator and live forever to be with your hot elf waifu>if the Heavens want it to be a tragic romance, you will defy the Heavens
>>94881120Traditional games?
>>94881976It might not always be the case. Maybe dwarfs and gnomes can have viable children or something.Also, maybe the character isn't actually sterile. Sometimes accepted wisdom is wrong.(Also sometimes mules can be fertile, but that's pretty rare.)
>>94883130>two sets of round ears
>>94883743Depending on the setting.For example, that's fairly recent for D&D; up through 2e at least elves were still toddlers at 15.
>>94881495Arwen didn't give a flying fuck about Aragorn until he spend decades with her elf brothers traveling the lands and returning dressed as some elfen lord.
>>94884061Actually, she could have gone the tigon/liger route, often female offspring well be fertile while the males are sterileSomething like that would make for interesting world buildingLike a matriarchal half-elf society which becomes matrilineal over time as their make children die without heirs leaving only women in charge who then marry elves/humans, but their make offspring is basically useless and the girls will inherit everything
>>94881790>stories focus on interesting people, which consists of exceptions rather than the rulesElves are interesting by default, and relationships that lasts for hundreds of years are unusual from the point of view of a human reader.Elf-human (and especially the male human female elf variant) are such a tiresome trope at this point, and I know exactly how it will play out. There is nothing interesting here.
>>94881179>>94881186Gross.
>>94883210>Stay on topic, pleaseWhat topic? Traditional games?
>>94881369I love how it's a female elf and male human in their imagination, but the actual pair is the opposite.
>>94881120Elf/elf relationships are normal and expected. They should be on about the same level, have similar backgrounds, share cultural values and so on. Since they probably have normal elf lives they're not very interesting to play/read aboutHuman/elf relationships aren't normal and if you have a human dude with an elf waifu he should be a gigachad to even get her attention and also by extension get up to interesting and exciting things
>>94881120Happens in settings that understand elves and don't just larp Tolkien 1:1. Warhammer Fantasy is a great example, where the elves are dying out mostly because a third of the race went full chud and the other third turned into pacific northwest liberals and the final third are constantly besieged by the chuds and nogs.All in all though anyone who puts elves in their story now are certified hacks.
>>94884238>and if you have a human dude with an elf waifu he should be a gigachad to even get her attention and also by extension get up to interesting and exciting thingsConversely, he should be a bit effeminate. Human men are already unusually masculine by elf standards; a gigachad human probably looks like a parody to an elf woman.
>>94884238>Human/elf relationships aren't normalThey are so overrepresented, it's almost comical, wouldn't it be so tragic.You unfortunately only read about elf-elf relationships in books that feature elves primarily.
>>94883489cuck fantasy
>>94884266>>94884266Partly related: The one thing people here really don't get when they justify yet another male human female elf pairing with Tolkien, is how his men that got elfen wives were pretty elfish dudes.Aragorn could speak elfish, was raised and educated by elves. He had elfish qualities and virtues, got elevated by their wisdom and knowledge.Before you sperg out, "elfish" for Tolkien didn't mean effeminate fairy dude. It's about wisdom, a high spirit, virtues, respect for the natural world.These days, it's about how cool of a human the human guy is, and the elf is so enthralled by his awesome humanness. Beren attracted Luthien with song, how many current day fantasy writers let the human guy sing for their elfen wife? No, the guys don't get more elf-like through these relationships, the elf girl is brought down to human level instead.Except Eragon, I guess
>>94884036This guy gets it.
>>94884036You could just start praying to Corellon and take on her religion after which you get an immortal elf soul and enjoy the fact that you'll get reborn over and over again>Maybe you'll become the elf wifeAt least that's how it works in DnD
>>94883813And Gandalf is an immortal angel, yet he's still one of the primary influences for human wizards. Same with famous tiefling Merlin.
>>94884274Dragon Age has ruined women.
>>94884274>You unfortunately only read about elf-elf relationships in books that feature elves primarily.How many non-elf-focused books even have multiple elf characters to have relationships with each other?
>>94884360Counterpoint: no, you're wrong.
>>94884364Even if you answer that question the goalpost will move to "That's a minority compared to the rest" without stating what the rest is.
>>94884364Good point, most characters are single. Especially the adventuring fantasy hero type, for obvious reasons.Yet, the elf queen that has no husband king for whatever reason is another dumb cliche.And even in fantasy books that are supposed to be about elves primarily (elf main characters and plot happens largely in elf-lands) I've seen authors sneak in yet another male human female elf couple.>>94884372Confirmed woman.
>>94884360>dragon age fansThey weren't ever actually women to begin with
>>94884391I've read the legend of Drizzt and I can say for sure I haven't encountered anything of which you speakThe one elven queen we met was married The one male human/female elf ends because she's an evil cuntAnd the other one is male elf/female humanI switched to Malus Darkblade and I haven't seen any yet, I just see human slaves but I'm still in book one
>>94884420There's also an elf couple that gleefully hunt orcs on pegasus-back like Alaskans shooting wolves from helicopters and we're supposed to feel bad for them when one gets caught and killed and his pegasus eaten.
>>94884360Okay, I'll bite: how?
>>94884420Haven't read any D&D-based books.Warhammer books can be weird about it, but depends on the writer. Some people here really give Gave Thorpe a lot of shit for his Eldar books, but his fantasy elf books have regular relationships.William King makes Ulthuan a fuckfest, Tyrion being a main character doesn't help.There was that one pathfinder novel series, with the half-elf Varian Jeggare. The final book in elf-lands was just tiresome to read, as we have to read the sex-adventures of his tiefling companion that never scored in the previous books. But all changed once we entered elf-lands and that's what elves do, sex stuff.You could recognize who the good guys were in that book by how much sex they had. No one was in a regular monogamous relationship, but all the badguy elves were sexless. With the exception of the virgin paladin girl, I guess.
>>94881120Sure. It's the assumed norm. Of course, stories tend to be about things outside the assumed norm, otherwise they would barely be worth reading.Also, honestly, my experience with elf romance in TTRPGs is that it's rarely elf/human anyway, because the woman playing the elf also wants a magic boyfriend, and their idea of a magic boyfriend is spicier than a guy's idea of a magic girlfriend. We live in the era of female elf x male demon or, if current experience means anything, female elf x huge male wolfman.
>>94884274Oh I've written both elf/elf relationships (rape) and human/elf relationships (rape) in the same story, though it does feature elves primarily
>>94883792>that pic>that artistPerhaps the reason elves are always a dying race is that nine out of ten elf dudes want the D almost as much as their women do.Or maybe it's that same thing sheep have, with like half of males becoming gay due to some quirk of breeding that made them the sheep equivalent of femboys, with how similar males are to females appearance and behavior-wise.Someone could be using the knife-ears for something and didn't mean for them to spread too much with their long lives.
I don't even recall any gay male elves, outside of Bioware games.
>>94884621Not in Pathfinder and not in Forgotten Realms as far as I can recallThere's 40k but technically every race is dying out there Not sure about Warhammer fantasy, I didn't come across anything which would imply that
>>94884765Only Asur are a "dying race" for no specific reason but mere drama, yet still have a massive population.It's my personal fanfiction that the Maelstrom drains their life force and makes them have less children.Druchii had an unreasonably massive population boom when they established themselves in Naggaroth, and continue to produce more and more elves so they can die in front of Eagle Gate.Asrai are stable, I think. Never saw anything stating they are dying.
>>94884803>Elves: we're dying >Dark elves: oh no, that's terrible>Elves: we didn't think you'd care so much?>DE: of course! When you're gone who are we going to enslave?

>>94884621>Or maybe it's that same thing sheep have, with like half of males becoming gay due to some quirk of breeding that made them the sheep equivalent of femboys, with how similar males are to females appearance and behavior-wise.I actually want to know more about this, but I can't figure out a way to Google "sheep femboys" that doesn't produce thoroughly degenerate results. A little help?

>>94885516Might want to bother someone on /an/ with that, or search the archives.This is the raw approximation of the whole explanation and there's a bit more to it that I can't recall off the top of my head.Sorry anon, I'm afraid it's all I can offer at the moment.But the gist of it is this: certain males are looking and behaving so similar to females, the more masculine males either can't, or don't bother to make out the difference, and this is entirely the fault of human meddling. Good luck on your quest for questionable knowledge.

>>94886522Because we can't tell the difference between our men and women, and neither can you.
>>94886522That's not elf-fags posting.
>>94881120Yes, but Elves life a long time so it's likely that after many centuries they tire of eachother and break up. Dating a human means that the human will likely die before they have a messy breakup so we see a lot of that in Elvish romance literature.
>>94884431Of course we're supposed to feel bad for them, they were making the lands safer when tragedy struck.
>>94886671>Yes, but Elves life a long time so it's likely that after many centuries they tire of eachother and break upAlways hated this notion that some anons here have, it reeks of>I can't imagine spending my lifetime with one partner, and so shouldn't elvesThey are a long-lived race, and as such, their psychological should be adjusted to that. Spending their lifetime with one partner makes also for far better stories than "and then they fucked off and did whatever".But maybe I'm just a romantic.Also, them constantly breaking up has huge (and negative) implications for their society, family structure and overall social ties with another. If you want elf society to be dysfunctional, then go for it.

Such rams prefer to court and mount other rams only, even in the presence of estrous ewes. Moreover, around 18–22% of rams are bisexual.Several observations indicate that male–male sexual preference in rams is sexually motivated. Rams routinely perform the same courtship behaviors (including foreleg kicks, nudges, vocalizations, anogenital sniffs and flehmen) prior to mounting other males as observed when other rams court and mount estrous females. Furthermore, pelvic thrusting and ejaculation often accompany same-sex mounts by rams.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003347285801500so homosexuality in sheep or female behaviour in male sheep. if you dont use the word femboy then you wont get furry porn

They don't let humans in on this, but they figure humans should be grateful they get a hot piece of ass to fuck for the rest of their lives. God, Paksenarrion elves are such cunts. I want to run a game of elf genocide in that setting.
>>94901067I read all of them and until it became a meme had never thought anything at all about those couple passages. They weren't note-worthy within the context.
>>94889820I'm not actually sure how "mainstream" Card Captor Sakura was back in the day, but it was mainstream enough to get a dub, and that had at least one lesbian, plus one gay couple.
>>94881120Depends on what system you're talking about, and the setting in question.
>>94892757A fun aside. For whatever reason, the Japanese dub of Beast Wars in the '90s had Airazor be male instead of female like in the original English. While not a problem initially, it did become somewhat difficult as Airazor and Tigertron (male in both versions) developed feelings for each other throughout Season 1 and become more and more romantic with each other in how they act. Since it's an American kid's show from the '90s aimed at boys nothing with Tigertron and Airazor ever became particularly overt in Season 1, and the Japanese dub was able to pass off their relationship not as romantic, but instead as being like that of a samurai (Tigertron) and his retainer (Airazor). Affectionate but not in a romantic way. Though this did become harder and harder as time went on.But then came Season 2 and the episode "Other Voices", where Tigertron and Airazor die, but also the fact that the two are in a romantic relationship is absolutely unambiguously shown prior to this. Like, 1000%, no amount of creative dubbing is gonna hide this.So the Japanese dubbers in sum basically just threw up their hands, said "fuck it", and rolled with it. Tigertron and Airazor are shown to be in a romantic relationship at this point. They gay.When some kids wrote in to the show to ask what was going on, since both were boys, the Japanese dubbers *could have* just explained the whole real-life situation that they'd caused by making Airazor male, but instead responded with this:>Even among humans there are boys who both love (like) each other. In the case of Tigatron and Airazor, they had been fighting together for a long time and as their emotions increased, their friendship turned to feelings of love. 'Transform', indeed!When I told a friend about this, his immediate response was "that was way more mature than how the American dubbers handled Sailor Moon."
>>94901387>I read all of them Lmao cuck
>>94883507well that's stupid. since Aragorn x Arwen is Half-Elf(human) x Half-Elf(Elf)legolas is the only ELF in the fellowship.
>>94886730their long life spans are also why elves psychology also supports taking short lived mates. because to an elf with a thousand year life span, spending 5 decades with a human they find exciting and interesting is a short little fling with a wonderful person they care for,and while its sad they die, at least they still got that time together. An elf would find the sheer vivacity and rush to LIVE of a short lived race partner a heady intoxicant.meanwhile, an elf married to another elf, well, if they don't see each other for a hundred years, that's like two short lived, not seeing each other for a year because one of them had to work away, on an oil rig or some shit, or logging remotely and driving truck to move the logs. they can take their time and devote much more time to other things.ALSO a reason elves don't shit out 500 babies from every elf x elf marriage. if your average elf couple is spending 200 years to master the sword, and 200 for magic, and then learning histories and law and strategy and tactics, well, there's just so much to do and so little free time, and anyway the wife is on a whole other continent and can you be arsed to detour over there for 50 years while you have twelve orc kingdoms to exterminate right now?hell, if you consider the orc and goblin problem, elves would find such things a fucking nightmare. you live a thousand years, and there's this ever-hostile evil races that multiply in what yo consider 'days'. it would be like a short lived race facing both a zombie apocalypse AND a nanotech grey goo apocalypse.in the time it takes an elf couple to produce ONE child, the aforementioned twelve goblin and orc kingdoms now are empires routinely in contact with demonic beings giving them vast powers, as they are hellbent on controlling the entire planet.imagine being a normal human or master chief, fighting the flood, except turned up to 20.that's what elves face with the green tide.
>>94901696>Aragorn>Half-elfNot even close. His most recent elf ancestor was Elros Tar-Minyatur, who was born an elf but chose to become human (and was Elrond's brother). Elros on making that decision was 100% human, but even if you still count him as an elf, he's dozens of generations removed from Aragorn and everyone from after Elros down is definitely a (Numenorean) human, not an elf.Arwen also isn't really a half-elf. She's a full elf, but she (and every elf member of her family) have the option of becoming human.
>>94901817except for the fact that aragorn was 65 and still looked and acted and was as fit as a 30 yo.numenoreans are half elves. as are elronds folks, the choice just shaped which side they favoured.
>>94901696Aragorn isn't halfelven. Arwen is of the halfelven line, but she's not 'half elf', she's of a special lineage that gets to choose whether to be elf or man. She chose elf, and then gave up her immortal life after her husband's death. She's an elf.Dior and Eärendil are the only actual half elves in LotR.
>>94901842>numenoreans are half elvesNo, they're just very long-lived humans. They're not half-elves, at least not in any practical sense for the purposes of this thread. Aragorn might have aged slowly but he DID age, dying at 210 years old. He didn't even live as long as a typical dwarf (250 years), nevermind the immortal elves.
>>94881120can't self insert as an elf guy, that's what human-elf romance is usually truly about
>>94901796>their long life spans are also why elves psychology also supports taking short lived matesLmao, this kills the race.No, their increased lifespan means they favor stability, meaning long-lasted relationships.You forget the entire point about them just fucking around completely crushing their civilization.But coombrainery often is inherently anti-elf.
>>94901842>numenoreans are half elvesAbsolutely not, they were gifted a long life by the Valar, it had nothing to do with any elfen ancestry.
>>94901892i wish i was a legendary elven boywife
>>94901796>ALSO a reason elves don't shit out 500 babies from every elf x elf marriage. if your average elf couple is spending 200 years to master the sword, and 200 for magic, and then learning histories and law and strategy and tactics, well, there's just so much to do and so little free time, and anyway the wife is on a whole other continent and can you be arsed to detour over there for 50 years while you have twelve orc kingdoms to exterminate right now?I am tired of whatever mentality causes people to make this shitty lore.
>>94902506>legendary elven boywifelet's be real, round-ears wouldn't be able to tell him apart from the elven girlwives
Certainly, they wouldn't.
>>94881120Elves have a form of ADHD which means they can't focus on a single romantic relationship for longer than 50-60 years, so having a relationship with a human works quite nicely for them.
>>94904035Based on what system?
>>94893499Thatbhe has taste
>>94904042GURPS, obviously, since it is the only system worth playing
>>94904057Post the page.
>>94904064>expects gurps to have setting details for your settingnogame
>>94904200>make a statement about a systems lore>then state that there is no lore
>>94904237that can easily be modeled in gurps, his post makes complete sense. Maybe learn more about games before trying to flex?
>>94904260>question: what [system] is that lore based on?>answer: [system]>reply: can you please post said lore of [system]?>response: there is no lore in [system]Do you have brain damage? Just say that you made the lore up and run your game (that surely exist) in GURPS. There is no big epic gotcha here for you.Also, what you have said could be based on "GURPS Fantasy Folk: Elves", but it's too late to pretend that you know anything.
>>94904312>>question: what [system] is that lore based on?I can still read your actual post dude, you didn't say that
>>94904337>based on what system?
I don't understand the elven fertility cult. Their priestesses don't seem to perform rituals that increase elven birthrates.
>>94904732imagine where they would be if they didn't perform those rituals
>>94904765Much the same I'd imagine. Seems like the temple is just an excuse for exhibitionist elves.
>>94904760Imagine
>>94901796>an elf would find the sheer vivacity and rush to LIVE of a short lived race partner a heady intoxicantChildren are way more than hyperactive than adults too. Plebeian take. >long life spans are also why elves psychologyOh you're one of those "world" builders who uses "logic" to justify your retardation.
>>94881186would she be toxic in a relationship?
How about Male ElfxFemale Human?>>94884109>Elf-human (and especially the male human female elf variant) are such a tiresome trope at this pointAlso this, how come there isn't that much Male ElfxFemale Human pairings or stories? You'd think women would go crazy and in love with some high elf prince charming who's blonde, blue eyed, tall, a powerful magic user and is an eternally youthful anime husbando or men's cover magazine model.
>>94907157see Highlander. women LOVED that romance even as the scottish girl got old and died all the while the immortal connor mcleod stayed young and strong and pretty.
>>94907157You sound like someone who only watches isekai anime
>>94906704>would she be toxic in a relationship?regardless of context, the answer is yes
>>94905187no no, their work is very important for maintaining elf birthrates
>>94881224Based.
>>94885364
>>94907820You aren't exactly proving him wrong by posting no examples.
>>94904002You mean to tell me the everlasting youth of the elves looks like THAT?
>>94908567I love grandpa Drizzt.
>>94908594Do you think some elves do that to their face just for the aesthetic?
>>94908607Drow? CertainlyHigh elves? MaybeWood elves? I'm just happy if those dirty hippies bathe from time to time when they don't do whatever it is wood elves do, probably druid stuff or archery stuff
>>94908658Dark Elves age like slavic couples
>>94908567you gen-z are spoiled twinks with gay aestheticsreal drow men look like this
>>94901387This dude reading about poop.
>>94908865He now looks like this
>>94908594>>94908865I love the story behind this. It amazes me that art directors could be so deep in the sauce that when they give an artist a "a 75+ aged elf with etc etc etc features", they don't realize that the artist will actually make them actually look 75+ rather than assume they mean a young man due to the word elf.This is the kind of hilarity that could only emerge from the amateur days of D&D.
>>94909198To be fair, if there's any elf that should "prematurely" age it'd be drow
>>94909198And I think it was also because communication between companies and artists was less professional back then, and fantasy in general less known.
>>94909198>>94909202Like the time they told the artist Drow are black and he thought 'afro-American' and not 'literally coal'>Instructions unclear, underdark African
>>94881120Mature love is awsome, I cannot remember romance between 40, 50+ year young humans, it's always young adults teen stuff or creepy 9000 year old vampire with human. Give me mature adult elves that experienced a lot in life and love each other even after all those years. >>94885710>you will never be a part of skeleton harem in nec romance
>>94881179Are you fucking retarded how would elf+elf make a fucking half-elf
>>94911568Maybe you had some humans or other races in the lineage? Like great grandma elf cheated on great grandpa elf, he never found out and raised his half-elf half-orc daughter as true elf and married her to some elf nerd boy who couldn't find any conventionally attractive elf maiden? And then you stop counting, you don't have quarter-elves or sixteenth-elves, after a few generations it's just an elf girl with extra muscles.
The thing above my post never happened in any setting.
>>94901817>Not even closeAragorn it's literally called half elf in the books. What is this retarded revisionism?
>>94915821>Aragorn it's literally called half elf in the booksWhere? Please cite the specific book and passage.
>>94911568I was talking about elf-human relationships. Also half-elves make the best waifus
>>94907386I have never seen a woman have an opinion on Highlander, they just watch it and sort of accept it's a dude movie.>>94915821I'm sorry but this is not true, you are in fact retarded and may have revisionismed your own brain.Elrond is called a Half-Elf in the books.I believe Arwen, Elrohir and Elladan are called half-elves and peredhel in the appendices.
>>94884066True wisdom is realising that same race couples are actually the best.
>>94917615Not very progressive of you. Pretty cringe, actually fr.
>>94884803>Only Asur are a "dying race" for no specific reason but mere drama, yet still have a massive population.I could've sworn that was because they're all gigantic autists over random bullshit and so just never get around to getting around. But maybe that was caulk, it's been a long time.
>>94881179I miss the original Dambrath, where it was a nation of half-drow.
>>94917919Did they change it?
>>94917919Was it all half-drow in 2e? I remember that in 3e it was a half-drow upper class (like 10% of the population?)
>>94917923Only a small part is half drow and iirc the humans kick them out and reconquer the land.
>>94917919>>94917929I looked it up. 15% in 2e.
>>94917929A common saying for impossible was "like a pure blooded Arkeiun" because those were the original human population and there's no such thing as a human anymore because they're all half drow.
>>94917952>many of those have darker skin and hairreminder that that means the drow literally blacked an entire nation, even if your half elf has a human baby it is going to still be black like its drow ancestor from four generations ago>kind of like Bretons
>>94917570I think the confusion anon is having stems from Aragorn being from a special long lived bloodline. He's still going to live several times longer than any human.
>>94917615>married for 10k years>zero (0) kids
>>94884233That's male elf female halfling
>>94907157>>94908560Might not be the best example, mainly because I have doubts this might even be an elf boy with a human girl because it's a piece of art about some online game that I don't really know of but saved it because I like it.But hey, maybe have this one male elfxhuman female pic.
>>94881120This is one of those "problems" people bring up that boils down to "Well if I wrote it then none of the drama and action would have happened because MY intelligent character would have solved everything before it began!" that makes fiction boring.You can do those things and make them interesting but more often than not the people who bring this stuff up just want the blandest most boring story ever. People write stories the way they do because they like those stories and the people who engage with them like those stories. If you kneecap the premise with your perfect fix then less people will be interested naturally.Star Wars could have all been prevented if Anakin killed Palpatine when he realized he was a Sith but then none of the rest of the story would happen etc etc etc.
>>94924103>Star Wars could have all been prevented if Anakin killed Palpatine when he realized he was a Sith but then none of the rest of the story would happen And nothing of value would have been lost.Better no story at all than a boring, stupid, or unrealistic one.
>>94924327>muh realismKill yourself faggot. Realism arguments are midwit tier shit, go back to reddirt.
>>94917615>True wisdom is realising that same race couples are actually the best.Nah, the best is one member of a superior race and multiple members of an inferior race.
>elves>inferior>slobbing some pointy ears on black girlsAlright.
>>94926525All other races are innately inferior to human and drow are inferior to most.
>>94924327> And nothing of value would have been lost.You are among the most mistaken people I have ever seen on this board. Like I’ve seen worse on this site but I normally have to be on /b/ to do so.
>>94924327> Better no story at all than a boring, stupid, or unrealistic one.You just described most of actual history.
>>94926691You accomplished nothing in real life.
>>94885398She's into bishounen, edgy boys with eye patches
>>94907157>how come there isn't that much Male ElfxFemale Human pairings or stories?Russian literature is filled with this type of pairing.
>>94917615>Penultimate couple with regards to Warcraft. >Makes the Japanese blush with how romantically and sexually dry they are >Golden introduces the idea that Tyrande is a dried up hag so infertile that not even the demi-god husband can knock her up while using druidic magic. Copes by Tyrande adopting her lieutenant as the "adult" child for the couple>>94920081Anon, it's worse than that. They only got married around the Cata/MoP era timeframe.
Can I be adopted by elven couple as their domesticated human pet?
