What's funny about that image is:

Elves were shrimpy little toymakers BEFORE they became a nerd's little wet dream. The lore that supports them being santa's little helper is MUCH older than the lore from the 19070's d&d.

So THEY'RE the ones that are the oddballs. The original elves were supposed to be dinky little toy making, cookie baking sissies.

actually, elves come from Norse mythology...which in turn is MUCH older than santa. Tolkien admitted to getting a lot of influence from norse mythology. And dnd pretty much comes from lord of the rings. So there ya go..

Yeah, a lot of Myth of changed in the 18 through early 20th century in a further attempt to make them childlike. Tolkien is thought to have been trying to "save" the original meanings of such things in his stories.

Aside from the porn, I've always kinda disliked elves due to the tremendous elfitis that so many people seem to have. Night elves, dark elves...bah, too many damn elves in video games these days.

Makes for good porn though.

The norse weren't the only ones with elves that are similar to those in LOTR. There's also the sidhe among others, and I may be wrong, but I think they originated from the british isles.

As for the British Isles that's correct. The Celt's had an Elf race in their mythology, and don't forget the Anglo Saxon's and Jutts both were Germanic tribes and followed variations of Norse folklore and such ... Damn, who ever thought I'd get into an actual talk in /d/.

Not just for the porn either.

Actually, the santa claus myth originates from Sant Nicolaus, in Constantinople, who lived in the third century. Norse mythology didn't show up until sometime during the 8th century.

if you mean catholic okay, then you are correct. Elsewise....... elves are just one type of fey. The short 'elves' are more likely brownies. Not the edible kind.

Sant Nicolaus also was a patron saint of thieves and Pawnbrokers.

The Idea of Santa's Elves though didn't show up until the late 19th century.

Interesting thing, is that in the old days, people refered to the elves, fairies and so on as the "Good People" not because they liked them but because they feared ticking them off.

Indeed. The Good People, the Fair People, the Fair Folk, etc. Treated them with respect and fear. Is because they could help you one instant and hurt you the next. Different moral compass. Part of why fey are 'mischevious'. They do what they want, when they want.
And on a funny note, the 'grey' aliens used to be fey. Stories older then dirt about fey that match modern day 'encounters' with aliens.

I remember reading somewhere that some abductees recall the greys speaking something that resembled gaelic. Of course others heard things that sound like the enochian fragments.
