[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 9820224, member: 6801776"] Halflings aren't exactly talking to animals. That isn't just a cultural thing, that's a downright magical ability that gnomes just have because they're closer to fairies and elves than Those are halfling problems, not gnome problems. Dwarves and gnomes are nothing like each other in pop culture. You ask someone what the stereotypical dwarf trait is and its mining. They are [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34CZjsEI1yU']digging a hole[/URL] or [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yevuBKVIBDo']singing a mournful dirge for a land long lost[/URL] (Heck, this isn't even the only Boatmurdered inspired song I have). You are not confusing anyone in that metal music video with a gnome. The dwarf Vibe is so distinct you can put them in space and [URL='https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B6Fl9qZAu5M']it just fits perfectly[/URL]. Gnomes, on the other hand, are frankly closer to elves. If you go and search up 'gnomecore' [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwLSrNu1ppI']it is whimsy a plenty[/URL], very distinct from dwarfcore. These distinctions are not culturally ethnic in the slightest., Like the only time I could see dwarves, halflings and gnomes being folded into one is if you're doing something with them being fey to begin with, in which case elves are getting folded into that as well because gnomes and elves are far, far closer than gnomes and halflings, and lemme tell you, I think people are going to be a might upset combining them all into one [/QUOTE]
