 Greetings laddingtons, today I want to respond to a somewhat commonly asked question And that is why I sometimes refer to myself as an elf and before I begin to elaborate I would like to aim a Massive heartfelt thank you to Styx hexenhammer 666 Who gave me a shout out in a recent video? So thank you for that Styx and Also this speaks very highly of you because that is a clear sign of confidence when you can give Attention and shout outs to other people. So tips pickle hub at Styx hexenhammer 666 Thank you much appreciated So on to the elven question at hand. There is actually quite a few different perspectives or Points I would like to bring up here. So it's not only that I think Lord of the Rings and Warhammer is great Obviously, I'm a big fan of both and I'm a big fan of fantasy But the elven question goes a bit deeper than that So we can take the first the aesthetic point. I kind of look like an elf Just how it is same thing with the physique. I Do have a somewhat elven physique a bit jacked elf, but still, you know with a smaller waist and a bit tall And everything like that. So an elven appearance obviously with a hair as well secondly elven doom and referring to myself as an elf is a Response to boomer masculinity and what boomer masculinity is is the kind of guys who says oh Real men eat meat or real men do not care about how they look or real men do this and that now if we look upon Lord of the Rings who has the highest kill count in the entire fellowship Yeah, it is legolas and then you still have guys who say oh he's so gay and everything like that because of Whatever reasons because he doesn't have a beard or because This and that so that is a response obviously high capacity for violence in accord with the primordial truth is a good Sign as a man So if someone says a real man eats meat, then I say no that's absolutely not the case a real man It's determined by his actions and his capacity for violence strength enlightenment. How reliable he is all of these things are Legolas yeah, he checks off all of these points. So Elves are very masculine in that regard. They don't look masculine because they look perhaps with feminine But it's the capacity that matters. So if you look upon a Shield brother you have you obviously want someone who when it's time to step up he can perform So if we talk about an elf as a human archetype because this is what this is about. It's not about fantasy necessarily It's also about the elven archetype among humans So what would you prefer some guy who goes around thinking that's that he is so hence all the time Thinking he's the coolest ever or would you rather have a calm disciplined guy who doesn't go around being all You know brash like that, but he keeps his composure and you know that when it's when it's go time you know that he can You know show up step up when it when it matters. So that is also something of you With the elven archetype that it's not about going around being all Hensh all the time, but it's about when it time comes then you have the capacity for Violence so a bit like a martial artist like a true martial artist I suppose so that is the response to the boomer masculinity point that men are Determined by what to eat or what they look like a man is supposed to be determined upon his qualities So the next question viewing elves as an human archetype in behavior You don't you can't really imagine legolas or any other elf going down the street being obnoxious or Being disrespectful towards others an elf is an ubermensch It's an overman who is disciplined and orderly and is as far from a subhuman as is possible So a subhuman is someone who is very impulsive who can't control his primal instincts who you know act upon Emotions where he has the opposite of a subhuman and ubermensch an overman is someone who keeps Himself under control even if he has an impulse he overrides that his mind is in complete control of his body so to complete the different things so you can view an orc on one side an elf on the other side the elf has superb discipline he does never act out of order He never lets his emotions get the best of him even though he can be emotional. He never lets emotions Get him into bad situations where he as an orc may be Impulsive never thinks about the consequences, etc. So an elf in the archetype of a human is someone who is Disciplined in that regard Then next point if you look upon an elven society it's obviously close to nature disciplined orderly they value beauty and Structure hierarchy all of these things and an elven individual values usually Basically all literature as well. They value Enlightenment they value marshal prowess they value art and the finer things so if you look upon European Culture for example are you an archetype elf who appreciates the Higher culture of Europe or are you an orc who appreciates perhaps drama shows on the TV The elven archetype obviously appreciates the more beautiful and cultured things So yeah, those were just some points in regards to why I when I talk about elves, etc I primarily mean it as an human archetype of something higher So if you're talking about an elven society, it's a goal that we can strive to watch something That is a bit more in tune with nature who values Order hierarchy enlightenment beauty and everything like that So I hope this was somewhat informative at least and gave you some new perspectives Looking quite juicy as well today X-XO boom
