unironically the elf yuri post with the high fantasy x santa's elf girls scratches an itch in my brain because it literally is like. dog breeds to me. the genetics that went into building one for survival and for the species to thrive and propogate in a mild forest setting and the resulting culture that followed (camoflauging into the trees with their willowy appearances, hair they grow out to imitate the growth of wisteria and willows and other types of tree, the silk clothink that is easy to manouvre in their cities and tie up to work in the underbrush, etc.) vs the harsh winter climates of the other (the small builds to withstand polar winds and hide from large predators under the snow, the rosy cheeks likely from higher body temp. to keep them warm in the cold, the knitwear and heavy clothing to prevent them from freezing to death). it all means so much to me when varying types of one species exist simultaneously in one universe. [shaking you by the shoulders] you understand. you HAVE to understand.
