The elves of this setting are now Slavs. The dwarfs are Dutch. The goblins are Polynesian. The merpeople are Canadian. The fauns are Mexican. The trolls are from Seattle. The humans are Greek. The minotaurs are from the Deep South. The giants are Jewish.
IN A WORLD WHERE ALTERNATIVE CULTURAL STEREOTYPES HAVE BEEN USED IN LIEU OF ORIGINAL CONTENT, WHAT JOKES COULD BE PREDICTED?
>Slav elves Rowlings? >Mexican fauns Del Toro? >Deep South Minotaurs Fenoxo? >Greek humans Now you're just being unbelievable
Dylan Campbell
>The merpeople are Canadian. something something, the punchline is cuckoldry
Owen Hill
Isn't the original story of merpeople cuckoldery from Denmark, though? They even acknowledge it in the manga (weirdly, you rarely if ever see Danish merpeople).

Wyatt Brooks
The horizontal tail fin has been a part of virtually every interpretation of the little mermaid, though.
I meant that the mermaid in that image is anatomically wrong for a supposed mammalian
James Jackson
And I said that's clearly intentional, since she's supposed to be a callback to that story.

But hold on user we are still missing Africans, East Asians, South Asians, and Muslims.
Ok lets
The Yokai are East Asians The Genie's are Muslims The Yaksha are South Asians The Aziza are Africans
I believe that's everybody. Alright everyone go wild.
Caleb Cruz
>joke >your head OPs point was weird combinations, not placing each creature exactly where mythology would. You got the entirety of fantasy literature for that already.
Kayden Rivera
Fenoxo's minotaurs were Texan. Well, Space Texan, anyway.
Nicholas Cox
In Rowlings' defense, her "Slav Elves" are actually less elfish than the vila of actual Slavic folklore, what with their ability to turn into fire throwing harpies when they get angry.
Owen Bailey
What I'm wondering is how these reproduce. Egg laying? Pouches like with marsupials? Mammalian-like pregnancy?
Michael Lopez
Going by Monster Musume No Iru Nichijou, the fishtails actually start slightly BELOW the naughty bits, which are just human. So presumably pretty much like humans.
Dylan Robinson
OK, makes sense.
Kayden Sullivan
Don't cetaceans have flat tails though?
Isaac Reyes
That's the point. She has scales, but a tailtip that should go on a dolphin.

Orks in a grunge band. Oh man just picturing some pierced orc cornering you at a party, not to tear you limb from limb, just to talk about how Alice in chains never caught the same lightning in a bottle they caught on their first album, and that the best pearl Jam album was vitalogy
then they rip you limb from limb
Luke Jenkins
I don't know about he canadian merfolk, but the rest sound right.
Might want to take another look, the added a few nations in updates.
Kevin Parker
Jewish giants?
Logan Carter
Vanarus/Bogarus are slav nations founded by Van, which are pretty much Dominions elves.
LA Atlantis fled to Canada after R'lyeh wrecked their shit.
Arcoscephale are Greek humans.
Himmon/Ashdod/Gath are giant nations based on Jewish mythology. Gath units are even named after the twelve tribes of Israel.
Juan Bailey
Yup. Jewish man eating giants.
Based on jewish lore and the references to angels and humans doing the nasty and creating giants alla Goliath.
Competitively they're supposed to be one of the toughest races.
I think as long as you don't eat it with cheese, you're fine.
Julian Bennett
Gold potato award for most autistic post of the day.
Jackson Bennett
You'll have to ask the Rabbi whether a giant counts as "man", because the original Hebrew has been non-specific about whether this refers solely to humans or just to sentient humanoids. If it does, you're out of luck since it's automatically non-Kosher (forbiddance on cannibalism). If a giant is not a human, than you still have to make sure that it: 1. Isn't a meat eater (forbiddance on predators) 2. Has proper hooves 3. Regurgitates its food 4. Was raised by Jews in the proper way from birth 5. Was slaughtered by a Shokheth butcher without feeling pain, then drained of all blood and dried.
At this point, you may eat the giant.
Connor Taylor
By these rules, Hinnom giants would be right out, and Niefel giants probably too, but eating Fomorian giants might qualify as long as they were both raised and butchered by jews.

What a weird setting.

Anthony Gomez

Benjamin Nguyen
East Asians are mind flayers. Muslims are halflings. South Asians are Yuan-Ti. Africans are elementals.

Literally same thing, except all the jokes are about how their homeland is a shitty chunk of ice covered in bears and witches.
Thomas Campbell
I imagine the typical conversation between (Slav) elf and (Dutch) dwarf now consists mostly of the elf being adorably miserable and the dwarf making and remaking ever more clearly how little a shit he gives while trying to walk away.
Mason Jackson
Minotaurs from the Deep South make no sense, cows don't inbreed voluntarily.
Caleb Kelly
So I'm not the only one bothered by this! The "can breathe on land as long as her gills are wet" thing also overcomplicates the simplest solution: aquatic mammal. It'd even almost explain why she's humanoid despite living under water.
Her straight, white teeth are unrealistic though. To properly consume what's under the sea she'd need fucking nightmare teeth that no sane man would ever want to put his own mouth or genitals near. But that wouldn't be cute, so I accept Mero as she is except her cuck fetish

Make the minotaurs proper hard Texans and you can have them have shootouts with the Mexican fauns. Shit, I'd play that game.

Tail fins are not limbs. Learn to anatomy.
Caleb Barnes
Welp, that's going on my wishlist. Thanks, user.
Carter Turner
Actually, human flesh, while prohibited, is neither Kosher nor non-Kosher, as it is not considered food, and Kashrut only applies to food. Of course, it should be mentioned that even in cases where cannibalism is permitted (say, to avoid starving to death), murder is still prohibited (one may not murder someone even to save one's own life), so it'd have to be someone already dead.
Julian Sanders
Additionally, I'm pretty sure your point 4 is just wrong. Finally, as an aside, the mermaid posted earlier would probably technically be kosher if assigned animal status, as it has easily visible pectoral and caudal fins, as well as large overlapping scales.
Chase James
That, or just not naturally evolved.
Honestly, if you're trying to apply evolution as we understand it to monsterfolk, you're barking up the wrong tree in general.
Landon Scott
Honestly, I find Seattle trolls to be a pretty funny idea.
Ryder Price
Never been anywhere near Seattle, eh?
Thomas Wright
would canadian merfolk be fresh water?
