I dislike the typical versions of elves (i like Tolkien's though, but only
his). One thing i've noticed is the "hippie happy light and love elves".
Which was nice seeing tolkien's elves kick ass.

One thing I hate is how elves and gnomes are seen typically as these cute
little beings. Ugh, makes me want to vomit, they're so overly cute.

I hate fairies too (and ESPECIALLY when spelled "faery"). There's a book,
and i'm forgetting the name that had "pressed" fairies pretty hilarious.
