>Human x Elf relationships are the most common interracial relationships
Why? These races are so incredibly incompatible that it simply cannot work out.
>B-But elves are sexy humans!!
You fell in love with one of your teachers once, right? Or maybe you have a fetish for older women? I know I do But you know it'll never work out because women want men with more money and the gap in maturity is simply insurmountable, right? Imagine that, except instead of a maturity gap of a generation or two it's a maturity gap comparable between the timespan from the decline of heliocentrism to the fucking atom bomb.

Seriously, how can elves see humans as anything other than pets, let alone viable romantic partners? Humans are better off doing the do with orcs. Their maximum lifespan is what, 60? Not only is that only 2 decades shorter than that of the average human, in a medieval setting that's pretty much the same as the average human's lifespan. And that minor INT penalty leads to a far less insurmountable intelligence gap than literally living through the lifespan of entire empires.

Now I may be retarded, but I always understood it as a basic infatuation for something that's close to human but isn't really. All elves are, at a core aesthetic level, is humans with pointy ears. The big ears are just really easy to surmount compared to, say, the strong lower jaws of orcs (as well as skin pigment and other things). For the human, it's something they can stay comfortable with because it doesn't deviate far from their (or their player's) interests.
>>
>>47223964
I think it's because elves can be more 'loyal'? For an elf, a human's idea of "Now and forever" is just a few decades, then they move on. Perfect amount of time for a romantic fling.

Humans get a partner that stays young even as they age and stays by their side to their dying breath.

Elf relationships probably don't last too long to begin with, so having a partner whose total lifespan is only about that long might be a fun change of pace for an elf.

A webcomic I read a while ago had a really interesting take on why human/elf relationships were common.

Elven relationships were always doomed. With an eternal lifespan, it's inevitable that you'll grow apart and go your separate ways. The only exception to this was if one lover died during the relationship, meaning the memory of your love would stay pure for all time. This became a romantic ideal in Elven culture, at the root of a lot of epic plays and stories.

And then they discovered humans. A short lived yet compatible race were almost perfect. You fall in love, wildly and passionately, live and love like it's the last day on earth... And then they die, and you can move on, but the memory of their love will stay pure. Of course, it didn't Always work out that way, and the comic had various other issues with half elves being sorta genetically flawed lunatics, but I thought it made sense for the reason that half elves were very common.

The Norse did it. Elves fed Giants, Gods, and Humans. Many kings were said to be descended from elves.

Because as the years go on and nothing around them seems to change, the desire for excitement and novelty builds up until a rash decision is made, commemorated by inexperienced copulation and a gestation period longer than her new flame's lifespan and centuries of single motherhood to look forward to.

Because it was always about bmws, right? Hypergamy is a survival mechanism. The man with the most resources is the most likely to provide for offspring and ensure they survive.

in a world without shopping malls and fast food, restaurants or catering, you need to create everything with your hands. Men are the ones in high demand during these times because women don't want to do any of that themselves. Men are the ones who get to decide who they wind up with, the only exception being if the woman is incredibly good looking.
>>
>>47223964
Humans are the ones taking on the fantasies, and so the fantasies are generally from the human perspective. Humans would like a wise, intelligent, understanding, eternally sexy partner who is basically the ideal of human characteristics. If this leans a bit towards men's tastes, that's no doubt because men dominated the fantasy genre for such a long time.

You'll notice that a lot of women writing fantasy tend not to use elves and dwarves as much, more preferring humans. Or, more recently, vampires/werewolves.

>>
>>47223964
One of the things I found genuinely interesting and not entirely hysterical in the Book of Erotic Fantasy was how it talked about the sexual development of half-elves. If raised among elves they mature too fast, if among humans too slow. Among humans you have a pale-faced half-elf building sand castles while his peers are arguing over who has the best tits. Among elves you have a wispy-bearded half-elf having awkward incidents with doll-playing elf children.

Adds to their sense of alienation, inability to fit in.

>>
>>47228087
I'm inclined to agree, and if you want to make them pointy eared humans then don't make them live for the better part of a century. A lifespan of 200 years is around the point where they start becoming unrelatable.

Someone got rejected...

Speaking as a low-born human coming from the backwoods of the frontier, yeah I like Elves. They're usually running around half naked, are well endowed, and very loose when it comes to getting a good fuck. But that's it. They sleep with every goddamn thing that moves to the point where those filthy mongreloids are a literal ethic group. That's before we get into the Orcs, the supposed "corrupted Elves" and their literal spawning pits.

Yeah, the evil corrupted Elves have little designated areas where they have massive orgies all day and night. Yes Elves are for fun, they're massive sluts and we're lying if we say otherwise. Now Dwarves on the other hand, those are real women. They will stand by your side even when the going gets tough, they back you up in a fight, they're loyal partners who'll stay faithful to you until you part. If you wanna bone a non-human, go Dorf.

Of course some of the Sidhe and Yokai make for... Interesting relationships. Really research your shit (this cannot be stressed enough) before you jump in bed with one of those though.

But today they are nothing more that a bunch of eternal fucktoys.

Wish fulfilment. Most of the time it's implied that's human male x female elf, because most here are sexual deprived males that indulge in self-insert power fantasies Then it doesn't even need to make sense that those female elves find humans attractive. Most of them must look like 2/20 for elven male standards, that die before they even get real shit done, mostly shite at magic and with the cultural and intellectual prowess of two goblins.
>B-but anon, most of the male elves are faggots and I'm so maaaanly and huuumanly!
Which is also pretty much a /tg/ thing.
>B-but all their female elves are sloooooots!
Another /tg/ thing. And japanese porn. This makes the least sense, considering that in some settings they are a dying or fading race. Or if not, then they have a stable population, but humans are still the most populous race. If all the elf girls would be such whores, half-elves should have overtaken already.

All this also implies that elves have a near identical sexuality to humans. Which is boring and shit, because elves that are basically humans with pointy ears are the worst elves. It also reduces them to one-dimensional waifus, not a fleshed out race with interesting characters and cultures, but only something that makes the human in fantasy lands and the human before the screen feel better about himself.

I remember dating a Elf. I remember coming back home from a long voyage with my fellow Vikings and finding her in bed with Jamal Tyrone, the slave I captured in Unga Bunga Land.

Anon, what you're missing in your dealings with Elven sexuality and standards is that they're generally extremely long lived.

That means at some point, it's quite possible they're going to dick a human for the novelty if nothing else. You can quickly get bored with a trait if you're constantly exposed to it (Nice as a quality is actually a really good thing in a partner, but the fact is that most people are fairly nice so it's not really attractive. So a lot of people end up dating someone who isn't Nice but actually has some other rarer quality that they're interested in.) So maybe you have an Elf woman dating a guy that's 2/10 for looks but is hilarious, or is hairy but also strong and surprisingly gentle with hands that could break her in two. Or an artist who is a moody bitch but completely devoted to her and treats her as his muse and his paintings of her show her in a way that makes her feel like an actual goddess.

As for half-elfs overtaking them, you simply rely on biology to have things like different PH balance of elf vaginas killing most of the sperm, or they don't go into estrus the same way human women do preparing for pregnancy. Maybe their fertile period is only for a brief time of the year for instance. Hell, maybe they're sluts with humans because of this, since sex with another elf means that they're going to have a much higher risk of pregnancy and then be responsible for a child that's going to be around for a hella long time.

There are plenty of possible reasonable explanations you can come up with that preserves them as alien and doesn't go full HFY.

Finally, in the case of PCs banging elves, they're PCs. They're explicitly created to be more than the average person, exceptional in some way represented by their class levels. So they get elf poon.

Nigga, if you're looking for quality in porn than your priorities are skewed.

But that doesn't mean you can't find it even there. It's just that people on this site probably just search for whatever is free and easy to flip through to the sexy bits instead of reading a good story WITH sexy parts.

But most established settings don't have a large number of half-elves, or interracial relationships and so it's uncommon when it's actually encountered and usually plot relevant in some way, and occurring between either people of the upper class who have the social mobility to first have the opportunity to interact with Elves and second the position to flout the standard morals and mores of society.

Or outcasts and misanthropes on the bottom rung of society who don't have commitments or investments in societies opinion of them and so can have non-standard relationships.
>>
>>47228719
I see that you don't know that Sex Tourism is a big thing these days for Western European women.

And that your comparison is pretty bad because the attraction to novelty only works if it's actually novel. So it's going to happen among the upper classes of Orcs who have adopted Elven culture although they might revert back to their traditional Orcish stances when convenient.

Most Elven women would be apalled at hooking up with the regular orcs when they're exposed to them regularly, but if they were just traveling there for a week or if they found a wandering Orc that they knew wouldn't stick around . . . .

And also you forgot that the likelihood of not getting pregnant is a big point in favour of the casual sex as well.

Your shitty Europe analogy kind of fails because the actual races aren't separate enough to nearly the same degree as Elves, Humans, and Orcs are.

You're talking about breeding Labs with Chihuahuas, we're talking breeding Horses with Camels.

Humans are more driven and reckless than the average elf. Could be why every once in a while an elf wants a relationing with a human.

Oh, Marcilleposter. What am I going to do with you?

Here's some things you're not considering.

There's this thing called siring babies out of wedlock, one night stands, and boredom. Furthermore, you can look at it this way the lifespan of a human might actually be appealing. That's right, I said it. You basically get to experience all that phases of an elf relationship in the span of a few decades. Humans might be so short lived that it's not even a big deal to have a "short" fling with one of your human companions that lasts the remainder of their life. No guilt either as they die before you could grow completely bored of them in all ways. Don't forget young elves, elves young enough that this would be novelty or the age gap isn't too bad.

I'll leave you with this, Marcillefag

See these guys? Our ancestors unironically fucked these. When they encountered other human species they produced offpsring. Never underestimate how low someone's standards can go. Dutch sailors were desperate enough to fuck pure Aussie aboriginals too And people hooked up with shitty little kids all the time throughout history.

Anyway, what you should take away from this is that people (humans and elves) don't always make optimal choices. They really fucking don't.

Also orcs and humans are not on good terms. Elves and humans get along.

How is that HFY? Those aren't always positive traits. It has its benefits but it also means compared to elves, humans are ADHD spastics that need to stick their dick in a fire to learn that it burns them.

Judging by how European women reacted with glee when the dregs of the ME swarmed into Europe, I'm going to call BS on this. So yeah, my comparison still holds up as Elfen women LOOOVEEE the green dick as they keep demanding it.

>Most Elven women would be apalled at hooking up with the regular orcs when they're exposed to them regularly, but if they were just traveling there for a week or if they found a wandering Orc that they knew wouldn't stick around . .

Still doesn't destroy my comparison. All I gotta do is point at Sweden and this point just falls apart. European women seem to lust after the desert rats, just like how Elves have lucid dreams of Shrek.

>And also you forgot that the likelihood of not getting pregnant is a big point in favour of the casual sex as well.

This point doesn't hold up either. In RL accidents still happen which is a big reason why abortion is being pushed so hard by known adulteresses. Plus in settings like Eberron, Half Elves are race of their own. The likelihood is clearly not that low.

That bit was less the depraved stuff and more the stupid part. But in all seriousness we like to think that's depravity but all that shit is arguably normal. In the way kids picking their nose and doing other gross shit until they learn it's wrong is normal. Sort of. And the thing is, elves have parents too. Parents that needed to tell them to stop picking their damn nose and eating the boogers. Seriously, that's disgusting. Stop it.

Here's another thing. Ennui is a hell of a drug. A longer lived being has a greater capacity for depravity due to ennui.

Alright. You asked for it: Depends on the setting. They're either just as stupid, depraved, or at least one of those in many settings. And it's totally not unreasonable to give their behavior a basis in reality. The parent thing is a good analogy. I don't know about you but I don't think any being save gods are born knowing not to pick their nose.

By the way, if you want to play that game, I can say your claims about a multisetting and multimedia fictional race are just as baseless.

>>
>>47229286
Those are just low standards, or rather things we didn't even know were low standards back then or that our standards aren't as set in stone as pretend they are. None of that is particularly depraved save for the kid diddling, but history has shown that was a normal thing and it happened well into the early 20th century. It's not something we like about our past but it's dumb to dismiss underage marriage, something that was in all cultures for thousands of years as just sexual deviancy.

The overall take away is that people have lower standards than you'd think and that they don't always make the best choices (not practicing safe sex) in regards to sex and relationships. That's a big difference from being a sexual deviant trying to fuck the entire bestiary.
>>
>>47229348
Yeah, but elves are not 'people' and I still think they aren't as stupid and depraved as humans.
>>
>>47223964
Because Tolkien. Specifically, and this is something a lot of people don't get, elves and humans are the same species. Elves are just a different brand of human who have great genes and a somewhat different relationship between body and soul (elves' bodies and souls are in much closer harmony to each other, which is why they can literally die of sadness, and why transsexual elves can't be a thing). Dwarves are another species entirely and are on average even less interested in reproduction than elves. Ents may not even be members of kingdom animalia, and orcs and trolls are nasty mysteries that nobody wants to fuck. That's all the basic Tolkien humanoid sentients covered. So elf-human isn't just the most common (despite being VERY rare) "interracial" pairing, it's the only remotely probable one.

There's just too much bad blood between the two). Your first response was still >>47228897 even without Tolkien.

I did make a general joke about elves with the Silmarillion reference. I was half-joking there though. If we're talking about Middle Earth elves they often were just as stupid and their motivations weren't really that alien. They did wizen up but that's because by the time of the LOTR all the stupid elves had died off. Now as to their sex lives? Yeah, I can't say.

You're wrong elves can get well along with humans so long as they're not jerks to one another. And you think elves do not value humans in terms of being in loving relationships or just friends because they live longer? Nah, an elf with common sense would accept that their human lover will pass away and will move on knowing part of his/her life has been joyful with the human lover and maybe even proceed to move to another lover once the time is right.

>No one actually storytimes that stuff anymore anyway. It's one autist with no self awareness doing those army guy with elf greentext stories

"Alien mindset" is a copout for bad writing. ie. "I can't think of any other way of jazzing up my characters, so I'm going to have them act retarded and say its mysterious and deep."

Seriously, nearly no portrayal of D&D elves even begins to analyze how profoundly strange they are. If you can't think of how to make them come off as alien, then try writing from the human perspective with regards to them.
>>
>>47230371
I don't think that playable elves necessarily can't have all that, but I understand what you mean. It would certainly be difficult to roleplay, and a lot of anons aren't interested in that.

Though now I'm thinking of writing a greentext story about that, from both perspectives. But probably won't finish them for this thread.
>>
>>47228087
Tolkien made his elves stupid overpowered though and had no idea people were going to dilute his tale or his version of elves.

Besides fae elves have a lot of sexual undertones or explicit sexual stuff. Romance wouldn't really be a thing but elves and humans would fuck a lot more. So human x elf would exist still in a way.

>>
Elf/celestial is probably the most common as they have the most in common (morality, cool powers, longevity, DON'T FUCKIN SLEEP, live in a cool kid's paradise), hence why the first elf/x relationship in Tolkien's work is elf/celestial (well, maiar) rather than elf/human.

It's... complicated with Tolkien elves. They're fundamentally a force for stasis, which is why the fading is, while sad, ultimately a good thing for men, who are more about change and growth. So elves tend to be less ambitious in the sense of making big changes on the world, generally speaking, but obviously no less ambitious about pursuing any given goal (see: Oath of Féanor). Also that makes me realize that the Elder Scrolls series' Anuic mer vs Padomaic men thing is kinda derivative in its own way, although I still like it.

Fiction explores real world issues by magnifying them. Most humans have to deal with being without their family members for decades and their spouses for years. Even Tolkien, whose wife died before him, bitterly observed that 'the tale has gone awry, and I cannot plead before Mandos'.

So it's a good thing to be able to role play out some of the different ways folks deal with it. There's no single cultural way for humans to do it, why should it be the same for elves? Some elves would love freely, others never love humans, others mate for the life of their lover, then go celibate. It's the same as any 'premature' death, with a bit more drama since you can see it coming.

From the human's side, it would be the same, many choosing to love freely and let their partner go, others clinging jealously, or seeking immortality. Remember that scene in Highlander? McLeod's wife, she's dying but she's so happy her dream love has stayed young and can find other happiness. All she wants is for him to light a candle on her birthday...just that.

Except it was explicitly always a part of the folklore. Tolkien just made Norse folklore popular.

>>47230438
It's like that in recent portrayals because people have moved them away from the original purpose of the stories. Gumiho are basically "don't trust outsider/strange women" and "beware the true intentions of a beautiful woman" with the threat of death. My Girlfriend is a Gumiho ignores the human fear origin of folklore and just asserts "there was a magical fox (woman) and the legends came after and are just rumors". It's also influence from Japanese media. Anyway, kitsune are seen as mischievous, but aren't seen as outright dangerous unless provoked, like gumiho are. If treated well, they bring fortune. Where they become waifus, it's often after you do something nice for them, and sometimes they leave if you point out their tail or ears or whatever if they slip in their disguise. So, "respect your wife's privacy and modesty" and "treat animals well". There's kitsune-bi, which teaches "don't follow weird things you think you see in the woods".

Maybe it's a nice fad to the elves. See, humans won't last long. So, getting that limited cock or pussy will probably get the elves a lot of street cred on their cultural circles.

No it's not. Read the lore.

Gwyn, the Witch of Izalith and Nito were never human. They were Gods, and the age they ruled over was the Age of Fire. Humanity arose from the Dark Soul, found by the Furtive Pygmy in the First Flame, and were set to inherit the world once the Gods' Age of Fire finally faded.

But Gwyn was a massive baby and didn't want his Age to end, so he linked the fire to humanity, forcing the world into an endless cycle of fading and renewal in which the First Flame would never truly dies.

But when the First Flame finally dies (and it will die), the Age of Dark - the Age of Man - will begin in earnest.

Yes I agree with this. Elves these days are Humans with Pointy ears, which ruins both Humans and Elves in a fantasy settings. Humans would become boring and plain, I mean what is the point of being humans when you got Elves. Elves themselves will be boring because instead of having their original culture and traditions and way of thinking they are just better Humans. It doesn't also help that Humans are usually portrayed as Medieval European Humans.

Although I think this can be fixed by:
1. Changing the Human culture from europe to another part of the world, such as Arabia or China.
2. Make the Elves appearance very different than humans that you can tell them apart without even looking at their ears. Such as picture related.
3. Give each race a special power that is only special to their race. Ex: Dwarves uses Earth Magic, Elves uses Arcane Magic, Humans uses Transformation Magic, etc.. etc...

Although I hardly see this in fantasy these days and would probably be a while before it changes.

Aragorn was a Dúnedain - as in, a Numenorean, which were basically the Atlanteans in Middle Earth. Numenorean royalty lived either for as long as their role in history required or as long as they wanted, since they could choose their time of death (Men are given. Originally they could live over 300 years, but due first to their corruption and later due to Tolkien's running theme of a mythical world decaying into mundanity this diminished until even Aragorn only lived to be 210. In LotR he was 87.

Also, half-elves didn't really exist in Tolkien as they pretty much only happened when God willed it, and they had to choose the fate of Men or Elves anyways.

This is one big "depends on the setting"

Tolkien elves can't just choose to go fuck a human because they don't have free will, and even if they could Men wouldn't precisely look very sexy to them since from a Elven perspective Men are incredibly sickly elves. Even if Men looked just as attractive as elves, it would have to be a virgin as Elven libido flatlines after they first have children (and having children diminishes the powers of Elven women). If this all happened anyways, sex is synonymous to marriage for Elves, so you can brace yourself for an elf waifu

Interestingly, due to the whole "no free will" jazz, a elf committing rape would be such a complete violation of their nature they instantly passed on to Mandos.

It's good enough. We need some change in the usual dynamic between Humans and Elves.

Age has historically, across all cultures, been one of the smallest concerns of differences among people.

Too old is still romanticized across all medias, and too young is a relatively new taboo in the grand course of history. Forget different standards in fantasy worlds, they're probably only as hesitant as we've been.

>>47223964
Elves like getting with humans because a marriage lasting a human's entire lifespan is like a passionate three-year love affair to an elf.

They fall in love, enjoy each other, and then the human dies off before boredom and familiarity sets in.

If they're lucky they end up with a half-elf child to remind them how great that guy/lady was.

Actually he did, since the main problem talked about in the OP is the age gap. I don't know exactly how old Arwen was, but she was sure as fuck older than Aragorn. The fact that she gave up her immortality helped, but it's not something that would get rid of the already-existing age gap.

>>47223964
>And that minor INT penalty leads to a far less insurmountable intelligence gap than literally living through the lifespan of entire empires.
And yet most games don't describe Elves as being any smarter than Humans. It's almost as if knowing more doesn't actually make you smarter, simply more knowledgeable (in RPG terms Elves should be higher level, not have more Int).

I'd say it's more along the lines of Elves wanting something along the lines of a semi-casual fling; they like the Human and want to be with them for a while, but they know the Human isn't going to be the one that's there for them when they're old. Sort of the equivalent of getting into a summer romance with someone and leaving open the possibility that it'll last a couple years, but you're not about to start talking about marriage.
