Elves Crying on Beds

 is a trope common in many GSIB fanfics. It shows a Space Elf, or more than one, overcome with emotion and crying beautifully on an elegant, elaborately-decorated bed, which contrasts starkly with the high-tech minimalistic design of the surrounding spacecraft.

Controversy
It is a point of much debate, because the anti-ECoB crowd believes that the many depictions of them in spacecraft are non-viable, as the Ghost Soup does not have space for large beds. The ECoB artists and writers either claim that Space Elves are a luxury-focused species that insist on bringing their silks and furry pillows when they travel through space, or that the anti-ECoBbers are just trying to ruin everyone's fun with their stupid "facts."
