if anything fat elves make the most sense

following the ‘typical’ tolkien-esque roles that most high fantasy tends to cling to- dwarves mine and smith and do other heavy labour activities, men toil for themselves and hunt and fight their many wars, hobbits and other flora-focused races till the fields, and elves sit around drinking wine and being snobby elves for centuries on end

i certainly dont mean to imply that actual fat people are layabouts who dont do anything because thats not true

BUT

i am implying that elves, who may feel too graceful and superior to lower themselves to menial work, who enjoy showing off their serene elfishness and eternal beauty too much to work up a sweat, who may focus on mental and magical pursuits rather than the physical….might just in general be a fatter race, and might even consider it a status symbol (a la medieval western nobility, where fat means someones rich/important enough to not have to work + to be able to eat as much as they want)

it makes sense! they dont have our society’s skinny-focused view of whats the ‘right’ way to look! theyre ELVES. in their opinion, THEY are the right way to look!

elves are beautiful, and fat, and spend their immortal days enjoying feeling beautiful and fat and you cant really convince me otherwise tbh
