weren't elves supposed to be aryan blondes?
>>
>>71612979

The setting is post apocalyptic. Discreetly in the book series because they were marketed as medieval fantasy on the heels of the hippie era Tolkien trend. TV show plays it up because it's trying to appeal to the Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner Young Adult dystopia fiction crowd. Basic marketing.

It takes place after an apocalyptic event
>>
>>71613231

Modern/future science gets shot out and some humans stay genetically human, others mutate into gnomes, elves, dwarves, and some people get the ability to do magic.

You had me at Lord of the Rings

>>71613231

You've never seen women wearing heeled boots in real life? They were really popular in the 1960s and 70s in Europe and North America.

That girl has Taylor Swift Ass Syndrome.

What the fuck is this, Shadowrun?
>>
>>71613305
it's been thousands of years
>>
>>71613745

Similar idea. I think the Shannara books might have come out before Shadowrun though. They had some dumb stuff like monsters called "sphincters" attacking the main characters, I kid you not.

>>71613553
are the crystal gems.
>>
>>71613305
There's actually a scene where a character finds a gun and is practically a God until someone kills him and takes it and wastes the bullets
>>
Huh? "Ambiguous yaoi?"

I remember some unambiguous one-side yuri, where the clearly bisexual Eretria had a thing for the elf girl, but that's about it.
>>
>>71613295

Not quite, elves had always been around along with magic and magical creatures. There was a big war between the elves and everybody else that resulted in the Elves winning and everybody else and most of the magic getting locked in a parallel shadow world. The elves go into seclusion and Mankind rises. The literal Apocalypse happens influenced by creatures/demons from the other side and mankind falls, a lot of creatures break free and magic starts coming back. Dwarves are humans that kept underground when the shit hit the fan, Trolls are magically mutated people and Gnomes may be humans that survived and got mutated or creatures that escaped from the other side I'm not sure. The books deal with very larges lengths of time with some series being set generations after the previous ones.

Of course all of this doesn't mater because the TV series is only interested in teen drama bullshit. Thanks MTV.
