what is UP with people's desperation to take the fantasy out of fantasy on here...like some fantasy element will be literally one degree away from Regular Human Shit and people will still unironically be like "but wouldn't it be SO MUCH COOLER if it was even less than that? wouldn't that somehow be more interesting or subversive??" like where does the drive to make every single fantasy race "human but (minor aesthetic quirk)" come from. dragon age was like elves can only make more elves with other elves, there's no such thing as a half elf and its VERY NARRATIVELY IMPORTANT TO ALL THREE GAMES, but people were like "but what if my widdle alibear had pointy ears 🥺", christ dnd/bg3 went even milder than that with elves don't sleep, they meditate instead and people are STILL like "but what if they slept 🥺" like i am gripping you by the shoulders and i am shaking you shaking you shaking you shaking you

#like. maybe its bc im a fantasy author. maybe that's making me biased. the idea that i could make the coolest world building ever #and some fucking dip on tumblr dot com is gonna be like 'yeah but what if it was stupid and more boring'. oh what next a college au?? idiot #i think i'd be driven to track your ip address and hunt you for sport #DISCLAIMER: I AM FULLY AWARE THIS IS A STUPID PET PEEVE. i do not care. i am already asleep.
