That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.

Hospitality? Trees!? Melt that god-damned elf-lover down and make a true dwarven deity! One that governs war and vomit!

Look at it this way - it's the dwarvish god that rules over all things elves hold dear.

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

But Urist, hospitality is a Dwarf right and it is decreed in holy law that only wooden beds shall ever satisfy Dwarven sleeps! You would doom us all to vomitwar!

The stone beds in the Dwemer ruins in Elder Scrolls games always confused me. They could build robots that run properly millennia later, but they can't trade for some goose down or something?

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.

I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

What else would a goddess of fertility and hospitality need?  Wood! (And a nice shower afterwords.)

Dirt dining rooms?  Nature-based religion?  I don't think I like this new generation of dwarves.

What is Dwarf Fortress without nature? A cold, dark hole in the ground bereft of magma.

Bring the magma up, now you have a warm, light-ish, hole on the ground.

I once had a deity named Love that had the shape of a creature with tentacles.

One of my Duchess's kids is a worshipper of Rast, diety of suicide, often depicted as a female dwarf.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

A god-damned god? Interesting.

Also, I think you're forgetting that this is dwarven "hospitality" we're talking about. Dwarves are famed for their "hospitality," often treating visitors to their warm magma spas. They're so "hospitable," in fact, that many people come expecting to only stay for a short visit, but end up staying for the rest of their life!

Someone who has random urges to make mog juice isn't exactly going to care about the cost effectiveness of obtaining it.

I once had a fort where six of my seven founders worshipped a god of suicide and water or some such...

it did not end well.

because everyone here is OCD and ADHD, and then complain when their dwarfs act similarly in game.
