I've seen it rumored that 'opening the circus/freakshow' was actually the start of that entire piece, the rest grew from that, but I haven't been around long enough to know for sure.

Why do dwarves always move the stone I want moved the most, last?

Because anyone who calls themselves the "Overfiend" CANNOT be up to anything good.

Why doesn't the Mountainhome send me useful peasants instead of useless glassmakers?

With very careful attention to detail otherwise you end up with a minecart on a mission... usually the legs of any hapless dwarves along the way.  Also, possible semi-sentience due to dwarven love of tools.

Why did the elves stop bringing me logs?

Because they know. You know that they know, and they know that you know they know, so they aren't bringing any more logs for you to do you know what you do with them.

Why are the dwarves short?

There once was a dwarf in a cave,
who many would consider brave.
With a head like a block
he went out for a sock,
his ass I won't bother to save.

Because 99% of them got eaten by vampires in worldgen and the rest are too busy worshiping said vampires.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Just no cheesemakers.

Ever since tentacle demons got removed from the universe, there's just something missing in his life. He tried scepters, but it just wasn't the same. He's just trying to fill the void left in his life, that's all. Just be thankful he isn't into kobolds.

Why is it, that monsters capable of rending candy clad dwarves into ribbons effortlessy can be held by a thin wall of raw candy, and not just claw their way out from the inside?

Because badgers don't have a tick problem, while pandas do.
