And the ears...are a decoy.

Show of hands, did anyone else immediately have their mind go to Attack on Titan before they finished the post and saw the word ‘Elf’, or is that just me?

All those elves you see in art flashing their sideboob and their 2cm hemlines and their belt-based fashion are laughing to themselves about how the humans are all a-goo-goo over their midriff or their exposed (panty-less) hip or whatever, just like a group of time-travelers to Victorian England getting a kick of out of everyone freaking out over their exposed ankles and even (*gasp*) shins(!),

... but as soon as you tell them you think they'd look good in short hair, BAM! Smacked into *next week*.

The nape is the sole erogenous zone of elves. This is why their birthrate is low - sex doesn't involve it at all, so they barely have sex.

[ GhostKaiju and others: I haven't seen Attack on Titan, and of course I plan to, so I'd be grateful if an effort could be made to avoid spoilers.]

So does that mean that Tomboy Elves (or aesthetic equivalent) are their versions of Bimbo’s?

...Plot, are you taking my idea and making it less lewd?

I was turning it into a joke about low elven birthrates in stereotypical fantasy. (Fucking Tolkien...)

Ghost: Yeah, it's like, everyone can see her collar! And it's not even covering her whole neck! What a hussy.

In actuality, I hate those portrayals of elves.

Screw Prude Elves, Dark Eldar (wothout their Torture Fetish) and Wood Elves is where it’s at!

I actually like the palm of the hand as a second major erogenous zone for elves. Ed Greenwood (of all people) wrote a decent scene involving that, and I read it at a young age, so...

Mutual Orgasm through Handjob.

That’s a new one.

It was more of a hand-kissing thing in the actual scene I was thinking of, but of course QQ takes it straight to handholding.

(Hell, immediately after posting, *I* took it straight to handholding. It's like I couldn't help it.)

...which actually has some implications about the kind of looks you'll get from elves if you walk around in public holding hands.

It is traditional for elves to grasp things with only their fingers, for to hold something in the palm of their hand is to be lewd. This is why we can't have elves anymore.

Maybe the sides of their fingers, and the bit of skin between the knuckles, though. Laced fingers are the really lewd part of handholding. This is why elves don't use crossbows - triggers are too lewd!

Dang it, Plot!

Actually, I was thinking that while the nape of the neck would be treated analogously to the tits (or other human naughty areas), the palm would be more like the mouth. Yes, it can be used lewdly, but it sees way too much use in daily life for any kind of covering-taboo to have formed in any but the most radically prudish elven societies.

Though, similarly to how a human needs to be careful how he eats a banana or a popsicle in public, there are definitely things an elf can do with their hands -- even "innocently" -- that would have erotic effect on onlookers.

...I mean, other than the obvious things that would get even humans going.

And the bellybutton is equivalent to the genitals. Elves guard their navels more fiercely than even their necks.
?

Anyways, just trying to be a very silly NPC right now. Because this is a silly convo.

Heh. Elven clapping is *definitely* done with only the fingers.

Is it one handed then - The five fingers against the thumb? Or do they slap the knuckles of one hand's fingers with the fronts of the others?
The latter is more audible.

I like the second one, mostly because it's prissy enough to amuse me without being too alien. The main thing is to avoid smacking your palm in public like some sort of pervert.

Edit: I was actually thinking fronts of fingers on fronts of fingers. Smacking the knuckles looks weirdly aggressive to me somehow.

>Elf see’s normal human clapping
>Becomes a blushing stuttwring wreck and or entranced

Mine is the most malicious of giggles.

By the way, this is the post that got me thinking of this, in case anyone was curious:

...wouldn't that mean the only mandatory piece of Elf Clothing would be, like, a scarf?

Too obvious. :v

We humans wear more than bikinis and speedos most of the time. Just because only certain articles of clothing are required for modesty doesn't mean you won't see people wearing other stuff.

But yeah, on a hot day or a trip to the beach, you might see elves strip down to their chokers. (And maybe gloves, for the more modest types.) That's in elf lands, though; when in Rome, and all that. Elves in human lands would... *try* to stick to our social mores. It just gets so confusing, you know? Like, some skirts are totally fine, but others are apparently indecent! Make up your dang minds, am I right?

(Also: you can do without a scarf or a collar or what-have-you so long as your hairstyle is properly concealing. That doesn't stop the more modest elves from adding a redundant layer, of course.)
