I really like when stories play with the idea of an elven life. They live an absurd amount of time- far longer than similar races (like dwarves) and are probably only outlived by beings like spirits/dragons/world trees. My favorite fantasy concept tbh- aside from authurian tales of magic.. even though I cry EVERY TIME one of their human companions dies from age. (the best/well written example for me is “Growing Tired of the Lazy High Elf Life After 120 Years” IK THAT TITLE IS FUNNY BUT ITS SO GOOD.. and “Sousou no Frieren“ is also good it’s more shounen-y)
