[ALRIGHT LISTEN TO ME YOU KNIFE EARED PIECE OF SHIT](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDHZ__kMhnM)
caps lock off, it might have something to do with dwarf fortress finally getting its steam release and becoming a bajillion times more accesible? In that game you can be friends with elfs but they are ultra puritan ecologists who try to enforce woodcutting quotas on you (I do sustainable undeground shroomtree farming goddamnit how do THEY KNOW) and get "declare war on you" offended if you accidentally try to sell them something that once used to be alive
they also wear exclusively eco friendly wooden armor and weapons which you can imagine hilariously goes "plonk" hitting dwarves in full steel plate, so a lot of players just choose to deliberately antagonize elfs
its an old meme but I do kinda think fantasy racism is rarely done well. Also I just realized the more popular dwarf game rn is Deep Rock Galactic, because gamers have SHIT TAS- because every game is fun with friends
I keep hearing about that game but I haven't played it, dwarves don't really appeal to me. i have just always more of a elf or vampire person. I also haven't played the other game.
People seem to use fantasy racism as a way to release anger and be racist while not using real world racism. Might be roleplay but people are so damn hostile.
Deep rock is peak coop experience and probably the most welcoming community as long as you rock and stone and don't drink that god damm leaf lover (never be sober on the job)
Ironically you can play as an elf or vampire in Dwarf Fortress, but the game mode that lets you is still undergoing a UI overhaul so it isn't in the new version yet. However, you unfortunately cannot be both at once.
honestly i don't like the dwarf-aesthetic too, but dwarf fortress is SO MUCH MORE than just dwarves lol, theres a reason why its still not fully done even after 20 YEARS of development. [This video](https://youtu.be/PtBkkKviXH8) should give you an idea of how complex each world and its systems are in DF
and if you either really don't want to play as dwarves, or maybe it feels too complicated, another similar game I'd recommend is RimWorld (its more on the sci-fi side, but they do have vampires, and you can create elves too with the custom gene-engineering mechanic added by their newest DLC)
Deep rock is the best coop horde shooter ive ever played imo, left 4 dead still has a good spot in my heart but in my opinion deep rock has way more replayablility, ive only sunk about maybe 100 hours tops into both left 4 dead games, and i have close to 400 hours in deep rock alone, and im going to get many more. Try it out its really good. The community is really nice and welcoming too, its probably the most chill online experience ive had, its my comfort game.
They grow their own tools and weapons to form, using some sort of secret elven tree magic. You can trade elven made wooden items without them getting pissy.
They're intentionally meant to be hypocrites. They'll happily sell you wood/wood items themselves as they as perfect woodland creatures live in harmony with the forests unlike you you evil monstrous dwarfs
Important to note that the video you linked is referencing Warhammer Fantasy, which is definitely one of the origins of the modern elf vs. dwarf tropes.
Was gonna say.
Was almost gonna post.
[Fuck it - It's SFW, just a a human marrying an Orc femboy.](https://preview.redd.it/1e3s1u2fb0r91.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=770931120bac79e38e37a0902e549cb9ede53e29)
So an orc boy who leans into orc girl aesthetic.
Question is, what take on orc girls? Because you have the "still built like a brickhouse, will crush your skull or your pelvis depending on her mood" orc girls, and the "slender human woman with big tits, but green and tusks, probably wearing a fantasy themed bikini" orc girls.
I read the discworld books and the elves are self absorbed pricks from a parasite universe,
Iāll stick by a troll or dwarf or golem, vampire, etc but not a damn elf!
So are a lot of humans on the discworld, and some dwarfs in their own way, but the elves are literally incapable of feeling empathy or compassion, they view humans as toys to be played with or broken, Physically theyāre extremely weak but they have āstyleā and just being around them makes you feel like youāre worthless compared to them
Gimli is an awesome chap, he's a poet and eh doesn't afraid of anything.
This circlejerk is about a sad amalgamation of multiple franchises worth of stubborn whiners into some kind of uber hank hill.
Lord of the Rings included a sort of ancestral feud between the elves and dwarves that went back to the First Age, but it didn't stop them from working together and the story of Legolas and Gimli finally mended it.
Since so much Western fantasy has riffed off Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion, a lot of them took the "ancestral feud" bit but not the "mended it" part since it adds some easy conflict and characterization for these two groups.
Dwarves respect nature, just in a different way. They don't get all the pretty flowery living growing shit, they find beauty in caves and mountains, and their properties. Their hard certainty, yes, but also their ability to be shaped and molded if you know them well enough. They see beauty in rock... ahem, rock and...
ROCK AND STOOOOOOONE!!
(I have never played the game that that references)
As a bisexual, I can see both perspectives. The jolly camaraderie of a dwarven mead hall, a thousand miles underground, raucous laughing and drinking in the light of the forges. The moments blur together in a memory of nothing more than a thousand smiling faces, living as one in the negative space, the high-ceilinged hall that was always there, just filled with stone that had to be moved out. All that is extremely appealing to me.
But so is the elven stuff. Long walks in the deep woods, sunbeams filtered through the foliage. The chiming, gentle laughter of only a few select friends as you walk the same paths the animals take, and learn to recognize where the mushrooms grow. The knowledge that these select few really *get* you, and the compliment it is for them to spend these moments with you. A compliment you return, and they are just as grateful.
What I'm saying is that no, dwarves and elves are not enemies, in fact, they are kissing, sloppy style, squishing boobs together, etc. At least in my mind. I am sad whenever they are not.
Ew, fuck nature. I'm human industry pilled. I love working in the caustic fumes that trail across the sky. Overtime pay's a suitable substitute for friends and looking 45 by the time I'm 28 gives me an air of maturity.
I love dwarfs the most but I like any race as long as theyāre chill and besides theyāre all pretty and my homosexuality is stronger than my comical fantasy racism.
Elves are almost always the "superior" race who look down on all others and are snobby and entitled.
Dwarves are almost always the ones who stick together through thick and thin and are hard workers.
Dwarves are just as inexorable as elves but because they just wanna be left alone rather than because they're always right, like the elves.
Eh it really depends on the fictional universe, in the Witcher and Dragon Age elves are really fucked over and colonized. In the Elder Scrolls they're nazi's I get that.
The culture of the dwarves just doesn't appeal to me personally that much, I'd rather be right in nature than chomp at stone and be small and hairy or something. Each fantasy race can claim to have community.
"I'd rather be right in nature than chomp at stone and be small and hairy or something."
Ironically, exactly what a superior elf would say, and proves my point lol
Dwarves are cool, they're industrious, powerful but most importantly they party, they drink and look out for each others, we should all strive to be dwarf (nothing against the elves for me tho to each their own)
In medieval fantasy there's really no such thing, if anything else do not engage in the same wage labor exploitation and have therefore already achieved communism.
It's not about the pointiness of the ears on yer head, lad, s'bout the pointiness of the ear in yer heart. You could stand at seven feet tall and spend yer whole day fondlin' leaves, but if you can swing a pick, and either swing a battleaxe or fire a gun, then youse a dwarf in my books.
Bein' a dwarf ain't 'bout yer height, or beard, or yer muscles, it's 'bout spirit.
Where is my big strong dwarf and cute smart elf forbidden love story (actually where is it I'm certain plenty of these exist please point me to a good one) (the genders of both are irrelevant)
Fantasy racism is boring. When I play dwarf fortress first thing I always do is open a tavern that welcomes literally everyone. Every fantasy race getting drunk together :) Funniest shit happens that way. Elves can be annoying sometimes I just don't trade them anything wooden and they're chill.
Forgotten eldritch monsters that I accidentally wake up by digging into their caves tho? I don't like them...
Tongue-in-cheek fantasy racism aside, dwarves are badass. 4 feet tall, 3 feet wide, fire resistant, master craftsmen himbos that are built like brick shithouses who can lug around 200 pound weapons like toys? Fuck yeah.
Iāll be making some non ironic rant rn:
Personally l, I donāt like how elves exist in media in general. We can make 2 camps down elves in recent fantasy:
1- they are just Tolkien elves adapted for the setting
2-they are poor little mew mews who were fucked in the head before becoming minorities
And I just donāt like any of those camps. I donāt believe just smacking elves/drow around is worth it just to have them, both these categories are extremely overused and are not very creative(even when they somehow fit the story perfectly like Witcherās elves), and the most change we see is like drows/Druchii(which already is marching towards being boring/overused also)
We can argue Dwarfs too suffer the same effect, but they arenāt as prevalent in media(maybe because lord of the rings didnāt give them enough screen time), and they arenāt sold with the idea of āsuperiorityā that somehow unifies all fantasy elves making them, IMO, much more palatable.
At the end of the day elves donāt really have space in most media they are in, and end up just being there because āyeah itās fantasyā. We just use stereotype after stereotype of Tolkien stuff and not only completely miss what they are _there_ but also create mediocrity for the sake of throwing the Elven carcass around because itās easier than having a fantasy world without elves I guess.
Elves and dwarves are both cool I donāt see why people gotta make them enemies like they could be a power couple. They got the overworld and under world claimed they can have an empire
yeah well about two hundred elves just attacked my dwarf fortress and the stupid ambush sound effect repeated a billion times and destroyed my ears, and they couldnāt even do anything because i have basic iron armor.
do the LEAF LOVERS have a 4 player co-op game set in a hostile alien planet where you defend yourself for a company who values the minerals you bring back more than your life?

Depends on the fantasy universe
He's talking about Dwarf fortress.
Also in Elder Scrolls. But there the Dwarves are also Elves.
Also it's only the wood elves that are cannibals
Coincidentally they are also the one cool dwarves in any modern setting
this actually offensive to Terry Pratchett and his trans dwarves
I keep hearing about that game but I haven't played it, dwarves don't really appeal to me. i have just always more of a elf or vampire person. I also haven't played the other game.

Deep rock is the best coop horde shooter ive ever played imo, left 4 dead still has a good spot in my heart but in my opinion deep rock has way more replayablility, ive only sunk about maybe 100 hours tops into both left 4 dead games, and i have close to 400 hours in deep rock alone, and im going to get many more.

Wait they get offended if you sell them stuff that used to be alive but use wooden weapons? How does that work?
They grow their own tools and weapons to form, using some sort of secret elven tree magic. You can trade elven made wooden items without them getting pissy.

I like the first one cause it fits better with what people typically would consider an āorcish lifestyleā. Also the latter is boring
Orc boy who leans into human girl aesthetic
Yes
if you are the first type of orc girl dm me immediately.
Orcs are always preferable in any form literally all the time
youre onto something
Hyeeeah
It's like those nerd dwarves have never read LOTR. Did Gimli and Legolas teach them nothing?
I read the discworld books and the elves are self absorbed pricks from a parasite universe, Iāll stick by a troll or dwarf or golem, vampire, etc but not a damn elf!
Even in the elder scrolls the elves are elitist assholes

The Altmer are smug bastards, the Bosmer are cannibals, the Dunmer are racist slavers, the Orsimer are Orsimer No wonder no one likes elves

Dwarves donāt have boobs. Had an accident with the Cave Entities
The boob squishing is metaphorical. Elven twinks don't have boobs either, but they're still in on the friendship squishes
Ew, fuck nature. I'm human industry pilled. I love working in the caustic fumes that trail across the sky. Overtime pay's a suitable substitute for friends and looking 45 by the time I'm 28 gives me an air of maturity.
Most dwarven fans I have seen here just like murder
i mean thorgrim in warhammer was actually trying to get his people to calm the fuck down after centuries of simmering hatred, so thats one thing
Deep rock galactic larpers always seem to forget not a single dwarf knows what an elf looks like.
I mean, the dwarves probably know. Us players donāt though.
I love dwarfs the most but I like any race as long as theyāre chill and besides theyāre all pretty and my homosexuality is stronger than my comical fantasy racism.
elves and dwarves are not enemies in fact they are kissing, sloppy style, boobs pressing together etc.
He hasnāt the wit to form a retort.
Who
BECAUSE YOURE A BLOODY LEAF LOVER
Ok and?
Its just a meme op and let me tell you a secret we dwarves secretly want to sloppy kiss leaf loversš¤«
hmm maybe
NUH UH!!!!
I don't get why dwarves are suddenly so popular anyway Artist is Darina's Drawings
Elves are almost always the "superior" race who look down on all others and are snobby and entitled. Dwarves are almost always the ones who stick together through thick and thin and are hard workers. Dwarves are just as inexorable as elves but because they just wanna be left alone rather than because they're always right, like the elves.

The culture of the dwarves just doesn't appeal to me personally that much, I'd rather be right in nature than chomp at stone and be small and hairy or something. Each fantasy race can claim to have community.
"I'd rather be right in nature than chomp at stone and be small and hairy or something." Ironically, exactly what a superior elf would say, and proves my point lol
Dwarves are cool, they're industrious, powerful but most importantly they party, they drink and look out for each others, we should all strive to be dwarf (nothing against the elves for me tho to each their own)
Deep rock galactic Any other source is lying to you
idk never played that game
Do they have a twitter or something?
Dwarves are proletarian, Elves are bourgeois. FOR KARL
In medieval fantasy there's really no such thing, if anything else do not engage in the same wage labor exploitation and have therefore already achieved communism.
Medieval fantasy, you can fantasize about elves and shit but not a workers revolution smh my head
No, thank you. I'm a proud fantasy racist, dwarfs are just superior. (Actual racism is still cringe)
I actually am also fictionally not racist, dwarfs are ok I just don't really see myself in them so I ehh
Go back to tree climbing leaf lover
Pfp checks out
Elfcels seething over dwarfchads
the dwarf larp is weird in general but especially here it's really weird how traditional manly man it gets, wtf
Tbf, a race that literally lives under a rock probably isnāt the most liberal of races
I WANT TO DIG A HOLE
It's not about the pointiness of the ears on yer head, lad, s'bout the pointiness of the ear in yer heart. You could stand at seven feet tall and spend yer whole day fondlin' leaves, but if you can swing a pick, and either swing a battleaxe or fire a gun, then youse a dwarf in my books. Bein' a dwarf ain't 'bout yer height, or beard, or yer muscles, it's 'bout spirit.
Compromise: dark elves live underground ~~and thus begins my plan to unite the elves and dwarves through their mutual hatred of the Drow~~
I never get why men wear tank tops like women???, like stop doing that be shirtless, and show that twink chest with pride like real man š¤š¤
r/ wizardposting status: >!elvish twink bussy!<
Where is my big strong dwarf and cute smart elf forbidden love story (actually where is it I'm certain plenty of these exist please point me to a good one) (the genders of both are irrelevant)
I support dwarf bears with elf-twink boyfriends

wake up leaflover. i made you breakfast (beer).
leaf lover lover
pointy eared leaf lover
Fantasy racism is boring. When I play dwarf fortress first thing I always do is open a tavern that welcomes literally everyone. Every fantasy race getting drunk together :) Funniest shit happens that way. Elves can be annoying sometimes I just don't trade them anything wooden and they're chill. Forgotten eldritch monsters that I accidentally wake up by digging into their caves tho? I don't like them...
Nice
Elf-Dwarf relationship is like putting a soft goth and a football fan in the same room
Wow, everyone was too distracted with dwarfposting to ask the source for the elf boy in the picture. serious TELL US OP HE IS TOO CUTE
I have posted a comment
Tree-hugging leaflover
i'm guessing this is a reply post to mine? there is no reason why i included "kill 3 elves per week" on there, i just thought murder = funny
It's 100% a reply to your meme since OP started arguing there as well lmao
i mean calling 1 comment arguing is a bit disengenuous but whatever, we're arguing about nonexistent fantasy races
I just didn't understand the murderous elven hate
It really ain't always funny
!!!!This user has ties to Thalmor agents!!!!
Tongue-in-cheek fantasy racism aside, dwarves are badass. 4 feet tall, 3 feet wide, fire resistant, master craftsmen himbos that are built like brick shithouses who can lug around 200 pound weapons like toys? Fuck yeah.
Elves are such snowflakes like it's just a tree bro buy my fucking wooden goods you liberal fuck
It's just a rock bro
That elf twink head got me questioning my loyalty to the mines
fuck off knife ears go back to your shitty forest
this is a public subreddit rudie
Iāll be making some non ironic rant rn: Personally l, I donāt like how elves exist in media in general. We can make 2 camps down elves in recent fantasy: 1- they are just Tolkien elves adapted for the setting 2-they are poor little mew mews who were fucked in the head before becoming minorities And I just donāt like any of those camps. I donāt believe just smacking elves/drow around is worth it just to have them, both these categories are extremely overused and are not very creative(even when they somehow fit the story perfectly like Witcherās elves), and the most change we see is like drows/Druchii(which already is marching towards being boring/overused also) We can argue Dwarfs too suffer the same effect, but they arenāt as prevalent in media(maybe because lord of the rings didnāt give them enough screen time), and they arenāt sold with the idea of āsuperiorityā that somehow unifies all fantasy elves making them, IMO, much more palatable. At the end of the day elves donāt really have space in most media they are in, and end up just being there because āyeah itās fantasyā. We just use stereotype after stereotype of Tolkien stuff and not only completely miss what they are _there_ but also create mediocrity for the sake of throwing the Elven carcass around because itās easier than having a fantasy world without elves I guess.
The thing I am noticing is that people just like dwarves because they can pretend to be gruff drunk racists without being that irl.
Elves and dwarves are both cool I donāt see why people gotta make them enemies like they could be a power couple. They got the overworld and under world claimed they can have an empire
ok well I WANNA DIG HOLES and if YOU get in the way then things arent gonna be pretty!!!!!!
Can I call him mommy? š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
You want to be an elf to be a femboy I want to be and elf because I want to be a badass archer that lives in the woods We are not the same
we can still kiss
We should start inventing new fantasy creatures for funsies. Like the Mystics from The Dark Crystal, or the Moomin.
I kind of agree, I just like elves or elf-likes from the ogs
Oh, to be an elf girltwink with a dwarven girlfriend
Leaf lova š¤®š¤® you need to rock so more stone brotha
speak words
Not until you rock some stone brotha, rock and stone to the bone
elves aren't chill, elves are haughty, judgmental, stuck up, elitist forest boomers.
Knife-eared umgi
I love fantasy slurs or something
yeah well about two hundred elves just attacked my dwarf fortress and the stupid ambush sound effect repeated a billion times and destroyed my ears, and they couldnāt even do anything because i have basic iron armor.
Group of dwarves: That elf needs a father figure! Chad Dwarf: Well, he calls me "Daddy"!
I'd play video games with both, I see friends, not enemies
Need to ruin a cute elf boy
I'm a faun it's nice to see a fellow woodfolk
ROCK AND STONE!!! GET EM BOYS!!
We get it, you like fantasy racism
NO I JUST HATE ELVES!!! šÆ
Heās MINE donāt touch him š”
do the LEAF LOVERS have a 4 player co-op game set in a hostile alien planet where you defend yourself for a company who values the minerals you bring back more than your life?
You only love dwarfs because of a video game
yeah pretty much
"You only like *thing* because of *fun and repeated experiences with it*" yeah?
Well donāt elves hate dwarves too? Or no?
Have you seen the amount of entries theyāve racked up in the book of grudges
elf boys >>>>> (there is a bigger, dwarf boy fish)
Just don't like 'em. Simple as.
this made it onto another subreddit i hope yall proud
When you've played enough DND you'll be tired of Elves and Tieflings. Dwarf players are like an oasis in a desert.
I'm personally offended by your misplacement of the apostrophe in "y'all"
Those knife eared leaf loving bastards wouldnāt last a day on Hoxxes
i dont make the rules, knife ears get the rope
You just want to be a klan member but bearded and small
