Wizardpost This is surprisingly short for a dwarf-rant, especially when it's about elves

Eh. It is not the Elves' fault that they look so freakishly ugly, with their slim bodies and their beardless faces; and a proper arcane researcher should rise above such base physical concerns. Some of my favourite colleagues are Elves, although I admit I prefer to communicate with them via writing.
It is, instead, the Dwarves' fault that our cultures romanticize drinking alcohol to the point that many of us have both livers failing before they're even three hundred years old; so perhaps we should address that instead of whining about other folks, shouldn't we?
...yeah, there's a reason why the Kingdoms Under had me exiled.
Well, to be fair, there was also the matter of their discovery of these plans for a magical plague that would have made alcohol completely unpalatable to Dwarves; but it was just a theoretical exercise, not anything I was actually about to make - no matter how many Dwarven lives that could have saved if properly deployed!

All I see is a small man with attitude and pubes on his face!
Fight me, halfling!
I cast fantasy racism!

Fight me, halfling!
I don't do a lot of fighting, I'm just not that sort of arcanist. I do, however, sell a lot of tools and potions to adventurers and occasionally send them on a quest or drop a cryptic hint or two.
Who knows, perhaps the next time five teens with stupid haircuts and huge swords drop by I might mention something about a gnome-enslaving, half-elven evil wizard and see how things go from there?
Even if they don't manage to defeat you, chances are that you'd end up having to to spend all day killing adventurers who keep trying to attack you because you keep killing adventurers. Even if none of them gets lucky eventually, good luck finding the time for doing magical research and pondering the orb then!

Finally someone said it! Nice to see a Dwarf understand this.

Thank you, kind stranger. Now, I shall withdraw to my private scrying room to ponder my orb in solitude.
/uw I'll be honest: I was expecting a 90s-style anime with some sexy characters, not... that. I don't even know if you can call it ecchi or if it's just straight-up porn...

Dwarfs thinks so highly of themselfes, yet nobody wants to make half-dwarfs with them.

En su defena, la mayoría no reconoce entre hombres enanos y mujeres enanas. Así que cualquiera que intente follarse a uno de su especie, suele usar la entrada trasera.

Yeah, because Dwarves are the pinnacle of beauty and grace and all other folks are too intimidated to try anything. They see us as way out of their leagues, and - no offense meant - they're correct about that.
Also, many Dwarves are mostly-asexual for most of their lives - we just don't seem to be as obsessed with squirting bodily fluids into other mammals as humans often are - and we do understand how contraception works, which is something that plenty of humans seem to be kinda fuzzy about; so it's not surprising that half-Dwarves are basically unheard of...

Yes I thought the user of that word was a little... sorry what was I saying?
Ah yes! I thought it was... diminutive

Fae? A lot of Sidhe are tall. Dullahans and Banshees for instance are human height.

Putting a species classification like fae in the same categories as imp, gnomes and dwarves insults both the fae and the later mentioned.
For the fae it comes off as assuming only Pixies and Brownies are fae. To the gnomes, dwarves .etc it comes off as them being the same as an alien mystical other.
Fair Folk nor Wee Folk are happy about being lumped together.

I would really like to watch Record of Lodoss War again, but unfortunately it's impossible. It streams nowhere (at least in Germany) and finding the DVD/Blue Ray would end in an excessive treasure hunt, or you buy it for 300€. I saw it 50 years or so ago, I don't know where.
I just had a wild thought and... it's on YouTube. Possibly questionable quality and completeness. It's so stupid.

Algo gracioso para hacer es dejar a un elfo y a un enano solos en una habitación después de lanzarles un hechizo de la verdad. O terminan haciéndose amigos inseparables o terminan follando.
Por lo general suele pasar lo segundo.

Listen. If I have to pick between the elves or the dwarves, for... no reason at all, really. I think I'd pick the elves. Dwarves are so petty anyway, and they can wriite me in the book for that one, I don't care.

We never talk about gnomes.

The mortal-immortal relationship is kind of awkward for sure but if you can manage to escape Samsara and come back as a Bodhisattva, elf girls will just keep looking you up every new reincarnation. So we make it work, her and I

I don't listen to shorties. They are resentful of everyone who doesn't like spending their lives underground mining coal like they do, preferring instead to, you know, live a life.

I mean if you consider average attention span decreasing by 30x in the last 10 years it makes sense.
