Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder

Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.

Go back to Pratchett. You're dead.

I'm not dead

Elves are an inferior race

Don't breed with elves

Fuck off with this propaganda you knife-eared devils

I miss Pratchett's writing... thanks for reminding me OP

His last books weren't very good. I don't think I finished the last one.

Blame the Alzheimers, the fact that he managed to still publish under those conditions was a miracle in itself

it only affected part if his brain
he had to do everything orally using a helper to type and read out for him

Based and underrated

I want to be an elf, and kill other elf-kindreds, and steal all of their fucking boats.

There's not enough parings of elf men and orc women

cute mule

Messages of your untimely demise have not been exagerated.

Need to keep reading that.
Beard elves.

Elf is just a word. Pretty girls and boys with pointy ears are not inherently good or bad.

So in a war do soldiers just talk themselves into dehumanizing the enemy? Is it something you just sort of roll with even if you know it's not true? Is that like a given as a soldier, or am I giving Israel's finest too much credit?

it depends on the war.
There are many wars where soldiers on both sides respect each other even as they do atrocities to each other. They tend to avoid words directly associated with killing when speaking of their jobs in order to dissociate themselves from what they are doing.

Other wars, dehumanization is a pretty big factor. There is no respect and the atrocities are that much worse.

I hate how half-elves all have knife ears. More of them should look fully human but with elf powers.

>elf powers
Vegetarianism?
Tree hugging?
Getting raped?

Nice memes. Better perception, better agility, inherent magical abilities, longer lifespans.
However one shit aspect of japanese fantasy writing is how underwhelming and weak elves often appear. They seem really afraid to make them powerful, especially with thousand years old individuals.

I believe you are thinking of quarter elves.
Half-elves would be the first generation crossbreed of two pure races, so their genetic set-up would contain a complete set of elvish DNA and a complete set of human DNA.
They would all look the same, basically.
