I hate that elves live for a 1000 years. I don’t care if it’s the staple. It’s jarring.

Elves living so long is usually balanced out by having a very low fertility rate, very low numbers, and sometimes low sex drive..
I think elves should always be blonde, or red haired. Brown hair is also fine.
Elves should never be Asian.
Asians should always be human.
Making Asians into elves is inherently racist.

You are not going far enough. Some people just hate elves.

True story though.

Random thought seeing your pfp : I wonder if Sloths would mesh well with elves.
I mean, elf are known to be close to nature, slow lifestyle and actions-movements, in forest, and eating plants and small appetite.
Wont they be close to Slothes as they are quite similar?

pffffffffffffffff !!!!
(just imagined a elf village with slothes around, some elves having slothes on their shoulders)

Totally immersion breaking & weird. But god its funny.

The problem isn't that elves live so long, it's that they are usually given everything yet haven't taken over the world that is the issue. Like often times they are super powerful, live a long time, is arrogant, often very racist. Why haven't they enslaved every other race/ taken over the whole world? Your story has to have internal logic and I think a balancing factor would be more interesting. Like they are only that powerful if they live in a forest, or their power waxes and wanes with the moon or perhaps they are super powerful, but in wars, they drain the area of mana and then can't cast any more spells to fight back so the way to defeat them would be to send waves and waves of people until they are drained.

Have you ever noticed that 'elf' and 'milf' end in the same two letters? Is there a connection there? I'm pretty sure there is, but I'm not sure how to articulate it.

I believe I have the answer, what is the most beautiful type of elf? A milf, a milf elf is the best. Want more? Sure. Elves have low birthrates, coupled with their long live spans and they all want to care for their child, as such an elf wanting to be a milf is the best course for an elf. Want more? Sure. For hundreds of years, they've tried to get pregnant and have failed, frustration + sexual knowledge = a sexually competent partner wanting to be a mother. I repeat an elf wanting to be a milf is the best.

But in all seriousness, I can see why the long lifespan can be an issue when you think about it. A being that can live for generations, if an elf gets a position as say a royal advisor to humans, then they would've seen everything of history and there wouldn't be any falsified information, for reasons like that when an elf has seen whatever the main incident that changed the world exists and said the world is built upon lies I find it hard to believe the elf wouldn't want to stop that injustice, unless there's a reason in the story for it but if there isn't then who would not believe the person whose lived long enough to be there? That's why I capped the max lifespan for all lives to be between 400 and 500 in my stories.

I don't think so. Elf is stuffy, active and prideful. They prefer eagle and elk.

Sloth is much lazier, preferring to save it energy and win by letting it rival wipe themselves out while it don't give a shit about the consequence of dying (it already practiced being dead for half it life)
