Briadoc: 'incredible' - Tumblr Posts

concept: elves are supernaturally good at everything ONLY because they live to be bonkers old and if you were hot and sexy for thousands of years you’d be kickass at archery and treeclimbing and horseback riding too. but like there’s 20 year old elves out there that are just straight dumbasses who can’t do shit.
concept: non-elves can’t tell the 20 year old elves apart from the 2000 year old elves
concept: there’s a 20 year old elf in your tavern and he’s counting on this

this is literally the concept i've been working with for this story tbh
callaic
And
arodryn
are respectively under 30
except callaic embraces the fact that he is not dumb but is a dumbass
and arodryn is constantly trying to convince you that he's Much Older really
also yeah i like the idea that elves aren't like inherently good at shit but just have lived so long they've had time to practice
briadoc: 'callaic here's a bow! shoot that guy before he goes out of range'
callaic (who has never touched a bow in his life): 'you want me to what now'
alternativly
briadoc: 'ah arodryn. tell me about the last great war.'
arodryn (who definitely wasn't there but has memorized stories from older elves): 'i don't like to talk about it... but i suppose
i could share the basics'
(proceeds to embellish a story he read in the elven archive)
briadoc: 'incredible'
meanwhile varendryr's like 'if you even /think/ i'm over 300 i'll skin you' when he's a solid 1200 years old
