Elves vs Dwarves

Since I've started with this sort of thing, might as well continue. Last time I spoke about Demons, right? I think I spoke about other things as well. I'm quite bored so I think I might do this for a while. 

SO! Elves and Dwarves. What ARE their differences? And why do people think that they're the same (blasphemous)? I myself am an elf. And I have a friend named Sancahi, who is a dwarf. When you look at the two of us together, not much differences can be seen. 

Both our ears are pointy to some extent (trust me, there is a difference when it comes to this one). It's understandable that you'd get them wrong 'cause you've never seen our true form (this is merely a disguise. Well, for her that is) Basically, I already look like my normal form. But Sancahi...Oh Sancahi... apart from her scary, psychotic self, she has a true from which might be scarier than you think.


To put it simply, it's merely highly advanced civilization (elves) vs industrial-like force. Here are some comparison I saw from researches that are correct.


 - Elves use swords and bows, weapons requiring flexibility and grace, representations of elegance. Elegance is power. Dwarves use axes and hammers, which are primarily about direct application of force. Strength is power.
- Dwarves will sometimes use muskets or revolver-style pistols and various Steampunk machines and tanks, all representations of industrial might. Industry is strength. Elves will focus on magic and spirituality and evince disdain for material things, or to be more interested in their elegance than their utility. Beauty is strength.
- Elves live in pristine woods or elegant castles, emphasis on light and natural beauty, openness. - Dwarves live in great halls and impregnable fortresses that are usually underground, emphasis on artifice and containment.
- Elves are often portrayed as being masters of diplomacy, small talk and doubletalk, able to go on for hours without giving a straight answer. Dwarves are typically as straightforward as the grill of an oncoming semi. 

No, Elves are not fairies. Shut the fuck up! We clearly are not tiny and we don't have wings. Oh yeah, says here "Elves are tall and slender, while Dwarves are short and stout" well I'm not that tall but I think it was because I come from a family of short people.
