How can elves coexist in human society without being alienated ?
>How can elves coexist in human society without being alienated ? The same way as any other minority: by keeping their numbers so low that they cannot threaten the dominant group in either demographics or culture and are thereby forced to assimilate or die. Though perhaps some groups are so different, we must acknowledge directly that assimilation may be impossible.
Isaac Russell
Why is it always the other races that are a minority? I think it's much more interesting to try o think how humans would try to fit in a society where they're the minority and elves are the majority.
Parker Lopez
I can answer for my setting.
Elves are often in the social circles of nobility and aristocracy, valued for their beauty, artistry, and skill. The term blueblood actually refers to the blue blood of elves, that carried onto their half elf children and their children and so on and so forth.
They have a difficult time interacting with commoners, as they assume a certain nobility about them, or that they have powerful friends. This can make them targets more often than not.
Leo Turner
Have that in my setting Humans can be found as a minority group in High Elf and Hill Dwarf cities. In both cases they end-up doing stuff nobody else likes, since on average they are not as smart as elves or as skilled as dwarves (and due to their short lives, they are unable to gather the necessary work experience.)
High Elves and Hill Dwarves can also be found as minority groups in large human cities, mostly as artisans and scholars. Due to their long lives they tend to amass huge fortunes, which leads some people to believe they are secretly controlling the government.
Lucas Gray
Elven maturity is in proportion with their physical development, in my settings.
An 18 year old human is ready for having kids. An 18 year old elf is still in school.
A 25 year old human is showing signs of age. A 25 year old elf is starting to acquire legal rights.

They alienate themselves, you dumb ear sympathizer. I like to call em "the race of bitter hookers". See, first they seem nice and all with their perfect baby skin and weird asses, but when the time cums- err comes, they bitch at everything you do and nothing is enough for them. "Waa foreplay is dumb, I cant do that, dont stick it too fast, slow down, lick me there again and I will castrate you with my ears, etc" Point is, at the end of the day, you gained nothing but regret and the tree-molesters gained lots of cash. It ain't worth it. They are leeches and they should be kept at a distance.

By dumping the absurd "elves aren't physically adults" fluff from 1e back in the trashcan of history with the bearded dwarf women and the hobbit-lookalike halflings and going with the more sensible interpretation that all humanoid races mature at the same rate, elves/dwarves/gnomes just stop aging the way humans do when they hit their 20s?
Nicholas Nguyen
Not this crap.
Connor Foster
In my games, elves mature like humans until the mid-teens, their aging slowing drastically. A 100-300 year-old is indistinguishable physically from a 18-24 year-old. I use the life-spans from 1e AD&D, so elves can live up to 2000 years 9maybe longer). They're often at war with orcs, hobgoblins, dragons, demons/devils, so not too many make it that far.

You mean when an elf becomes the town rapist and pops all the lasses cherries you humans just accept him as a fully integrated member of your society? You humans are a intriguing bunch
Michael Walker
Humans love rapists, and make them their leaders.
Levi Anderson
actually played a character that was just that.
Human sorc who was dropped in elven lands with his father by a shipwreck when he was like ten.
Basically got by because he was magic and also better looking than all the elves. It helped that his father was the ship's cook and they opened up a tavern that specialized in human cuisine. It's a fun backstory to work with.

They'd get wiped out or banished to some shitty location (human reserve) after the first bout of violence caused by or maybe just involving some human asshole Or they'd breed to the point where humanity becomes the majority Look at what happens IRL with minorities then consider what a near immortal would think of a bunch of apes acting like apes while declaring themselves civilized
That said you can really make it however you want user, it is "fantasy" after all.
Zachary Martinez
The thing is going by cookie cutter dnd and PF settings elves are generally respected and looked at in awe, but the ignorance of others is always present and the thing those people hate is the elongated lifespan and generally uptight attitude.
Elves themselves seem to fall into two camps. Decades in diapers and mature by mid 20's then live a long ass time as an adult.
In both cases while they could come exist with other races they would probably be more withdrawn or isolated to varying degrees as most races don't live anywhere near as long as they do. Decades in diapers would be worse off because that friend you had in grade school would be dead before you left puberty. The adult at 20's wouldn't be so bad as early life would be basically the same as humans. And the major difference is with this flavor of elf the reason adult is placed at 100 is because physically the eld is mature but to their older kin until you lived for a century or so your still a child, which holds little bearing on inter species relation.
The biggest point of contention would be the elven idea of what constitutes an adult and even then it can be overlooked with a simple understanding of "the other races have to cram all the experience we do in a millennia into a century" and that fixes many issues. And with all settings while some would understand that logic, others would see it as a crappy excuse.
The decades in diapers would almost certainly be isolationists or if the coexist they don't befriend a single person so much as befriend a bloodline because by the time they reach adulthood they'd have outlived 2 family generations. So it would only make sense that friendships between elves and races with lower lifespans be a deep almost sacred bond between the two sides.

Jackson Johnson
For my setting at least, easily. Elves are made of dream and story, and naturally adjust to fit the role they're playing, as well as people's expectations of that role. It's actually very hard to tell the difference between an elf and a person who just so happens to fit a cliche, at least at a glance. The difference is that a person has traits beyond those ascribed to them by their place in the story of society, but with elves there's nothing behind the mask. At least not anything recognizable
