Tolkien stuff again: does anyone else want to be an Elf?
I've always loved the Elves in Tolkien's books, and I actually would really like to be one myself.
Not really because of the immortality or whatever, but because I like their light and fair style.
They leave no footprints, they are plain fair and beautiful, and everyhing about them is adorable.
If I were able to choose, I would become an Elf, no doubt.
However, since I am a human, I can only try being as Elvish as possible, i.e. I shave a lot, so as to look smooth, grow hair a lot and stuff.
We worry about you, Peter.
This is a very thought-provoking discussion.
Hmmm...
Devil Man would prefer to be an Orc because as you know, HE IS AN ABSOLUTE STUD-MUFFIN!and your good friend Devil Man would like to know how it feels to be physically ugly and unattractive.
But it's not gonna happen
Because Devil Man is Mother Nature's favourite son and she put him on Earth to bring wonderous joy to Beautiful Goddesses the world over!
Go get some expensive surgery to make your ears pointed.
It will be <i>hilarious</i>.
Elvis got pretty close to being Elvish.
I always wanted to be an elf character back when I used to play "Dungeons and Dragons", but becoming one in real-life has never really been a wish of mine.
Liv Tyler melted her elf ears on the dashboard of her car ;_; I would hate myself if I did such a thing.
And I've never wanted to be an elf. I did when I was younger, but elves are sad, and I do not want to be sad and stuck with the woes of the world for all of my immortality. I'd much rather be a hobbit, see.
Now THAT's the truth! I mean, how many breakfasts do they eat? 3? Paradise I say.Originally Posted by Resha

I'd rather be Alf, actually.
Off-Topic:
could anyone please tell me what the heck this is supposed to mean?
My husband is totally gay for elves and I'm down with that.
It means you're about to shave your body to make yourself look like a frigging elf.
Did you know that there was an "uproar" between Tolkien and some people about the word elvish? The commonly accepted grammatically correct adjective is actually elfish. Tolkien insisted on leaving it the same but it was actually changed in some versions of his books.
Yeah, I'm a dork that reads forewords.
My best friend in middle school had "elf ears". It was fun but I wouldn't like to be anything other than what I am.
Hm, "elf ears" are obviously just an invention by Peter Jackson.
The only real difference between Elves and Men are the facts that Elves are immortal, got better sight and hearing, and are lighter and fairer.
Period.
That's retarded. You can't apply logical rules to a fictional race of people! Every fantasy author interprets the logistics of elves differently. In the Forgotten Realms universe, for instance, elves do have pointed ears, have frail waif-like body structures, and live about six times longer than humans. And it's not like Tolkien invented elves either. They were originally depicted as michievous imps, and let's not forget that whole Christmas thing.
