So umm...let's talk about being a Lalafell for a second

[Jojoya]

I always wonder what their personal fetish is when they immediately look at a lala as a child instead of as the adult lala characters are.

Sometimes I get curious enough I ask them why they're so fixated on seeing others as a child.

It's their problem, not ours.

If it's coming from another Lalafell, I'd say it was a joke.

Same as people who think people that play Miqo'te are furries.

Nope. Haven't had any weird interactions beyond people petting my character. People do tend to think he's a she... though that's very deliberate :]

Every time I think a Lalafell is a boy, it's always a girl. Every time I think it's a girl, it's a boy.

Stop messing with my head!

All potatoes look the same.

As for the "child" jokes, I don't care as much because I know the lore for lalas in that not only do they live longer than most races, but....

In the BLM 30-50 questline, one of the lala NPCs was imprisoned for a hundred years for using dark arts that, according to the lore I've seen, tends to shorten lifespans.

Where are you getting that information from? I haven't seen anything saying that Lalafell live any longer than other races (aside of that one example you mentioned). You may be getting confused with Elezen.

As for black magic shortening the user's lifespan - what lore are you thinking of there? I can't think of any, and would take Ququruka's survival as likely to be explained by the opposite.

Dude, they're proportioned like babies.

Like it's silly getting worked up about them in the game since they're not exactly treated like some other child(like) races in games... *cough, tera* but fetishes have nothing to do with being able to see that a lala's body is closer to a toddler's than an adult human's...

I like Lalafell myself because they're so darn adorable to play as (was one for a few months, until I missed my tail and had to change back), for some reason hairstyles just look really good on Lalafell too

The trick is to look at their eyelashes, and standing poses/walking animations. If they are not moving, and have their eyes covered, you're kinda screwed

Funny the perceived Lala=children thing, while it's canon that the Padjal are perpetual teenagers who can barely pass as adults after their aging has stopped. Lala relationships have been established in the game's lore, with marriage, children, and the whole nine yards deducing that sexual relationships take place among them. But nope. Totally wrong for a Lala to bare their breeches.

Anywho, you go an strut your Lala self! I'm offended that some are so easily offended.
