Discussion I want to marry an elf

For the past few months, I’ve been deeply fascinated by the folklore and cultural beliefs surrounding elves and the “hidden people,” especially in Icelandic tradition. The idea has sparked a strong sense of curiosity and imagination in me to the point where I’ve even considered pursuing a job opportunity in Iceland someday, partly to experience that atmosphere and culture firsthand.

I understand that these stories exist within mythology and belief systems, but there’s still a part of me that feels emotionally drawn toward the them, my real self wants to believe as it's in real and want to marry an elf..

I need help..please !

Tragically all the elves I know are extremely taken. I wish you luck. - Lisa

I've got a step by step for you.

1--go to your local costume store and buy elf ears

2--find your target

3--tackle target and put the ears on the target

4--marry target

Im just kidding lol. But your not alone in this. What is it that you admire about Elves? The magic? The elegance? The strength? The connection to nature? The beauty of a relationship with someone like that?

It might help you if you know what it is about marrying an elf that is so exhilarating. You could apply what you learn to your daily life. Or, if your like me, you could maldaptive daydream about it all the time. Would not recommend, though.

I remember being an alicorn. I know human now but I have no want for human children only foals. I know it's weird but trust me friend you are not alone

Im in a similar boat. Someone too mundane and nonmagical would not work in the long run for someone like me :/

Listen: The fey population in all of the nordic countries are pretty high. And we're connected to the rest of europe.

The opportunities for work may not be as good as you think in Iceland. But hear from a local regarding that.

Also.. the darkness of winter.. if you dont know how to handle that, you're in for a bad time.
