Vice versa for me

When I was a child, I liked hobbits the best because they were far closer to home, friendlier, and more enjoyable to read about. There's a reason tolkien starts you off in Hobbiton.
Older I now appreciate the use of hobbits but I like dwarves and elves as two opposing mythologies bizarrely stuck together. Of course you can try to identify with both but people still struggle to make the appeal of both interesting.

Maturity is when you realize that blind tribalism and adherance to vaguely defined ideas instead of competent execution are stupid.

>le pragmatic centrist maymay

Fucking half-elf detected

>loud, obnoxious children wouldn't like the loud, obnoxious manchild race
EIther dwarves or orcs. Everything that is deemed "manly" is for young boys that really need to prove that they like manly things.

When i was a kid, i really liked monstrous races. Gnolls, orcs, anything big and strong.

Now i am a grown-ass man and i still like strong races, but now i like them cute.

Children never play elves or dwarves. They only play stuff that didn't come from the PHB and probably came from deviantart. Or drow.

kinda like it, but i still like hobbits more, and humans, i always play human in games

Childhood is where you idolize elves and dwarves, Adulthood is where you realize humans make more sense.

this, kids play drow or some other edgy things

/thread

You mean teenagers, right? children aren't into edgy shit

Same for me, or let's say I liked them equally but over the time started to favor elves more. Though back then it would probably be rather dark elves more than high elves.

Same.

Dwarves are sort of idealized humans cranked up to 11.

Except the short thing.

>Veeky Forums dislikes elves because they're idealized humans and gives thm a whole bag of flaws so they would be justified in hating them

>Veeky Forums likes dwarves for same exact reason and would rather die than besmirch the hono of their darlings

You're all faggot manchildren m with shit taste, Come back when you realize the true superior fantasy race: Kobolds!

Kobolds have got something for everyone to Love. You want something More Exotic than "Human but with X physical Trait and Y personality/Cultural Trait? Try Kobolds! They're fuckin' Mini Dragons (or dog people if thats what you like), that's pretty alien!

Need a race of Underdogs picked on and abused by everyone above them in the food chain, who survive on in spite of their status through cleverness, wit, and quick thinking? Kobolds have got your back!

Lookin to find yourself a nice, cute, friendly, little critter to be your party's gofer/mascot/Hand-holder/apprentice? Kobolds' yer man or woman!

But I can hear ya thinkin' "But user! What if I don't want any of those? What if I just want a bunch of asshole, troublemaking, low level monster mooks to thrash for cheap?" Well you just quit worryin your pretty little head about it user because Kobolds can do that too! They're versatile like that!

Now that's A hell of a lot better than "Penelope Petunia, the Fancy-Pants, prim-and-proper elf pansy" or "Urist Gold-beer McScottsAxe, the Dwarf who no one can understand because he's practically eating his beard whenever he tries to talk", I'll tell ya what."!

>idealized
>hairy alcoholic manlets
You have some low as fuck standards.

>furries
>scalies
I'd rather not

>>hairy alcoholic manlets
Like their fans. They are also the best warriors and super manly and can craft everything, have the best equipment and the most gold.

Adulthood is when you realize that both are dumb and that you are better off being a hermit wizard.

I never got the idea of dwarves having so much gold. Kinda like the Hobbit movie, they have so much of it. its value should less than that of iron.

...

>They are also the best warriors and super manly and can craft everything, have the best equipment
Im sorry, but what race is the one where they are so good at crafting it's literally magical? Elves.
What's the race that objectively creates the best equipment by sheer skill? Elves.
Manly? Have you never heard of Feanor or any of the other super elven badasses, including the one who piloted a flying ship into a mountain sized dragon's mouth to kill him from the inside? Dwarves are just pathetic manlets who can't even take care of some piddly little tiny dragon holed up in their mountain home.

And gold? A shitty metal only useful for decoration.

All this is Tolkien, many haven't read the Silmarillion, especially children. Unfortunately Tolkien isn't the standard cliché setting, but rather DnD where elves only shoot the bow.

I played Zelda as a child

>Afraid of the Furry boogeyman
Enjoy your !NotHumans user, I'll just be over here on the fun side.

That implies maturity. At the end of the day we're a bunch of man-children who've turned the Dwarves vs. Elves argument into something so meta that our forum arguments mirror the Rivalry of actual Elves and Dwarves.

As a child I idolized hexxus from fern gully, every captain planet villain, and the tank police.
In the modern day I am a fat, greasy, sweaty businessman.
I should really smoke cigars, but my lungs refuse. Maybe I should get chocolate cigars.

Abriel Nei Dubrusk Paryunu Lafiel is not an elf she is an Abh Hieress

Even in D&D elves are fucking badass. Only retards who have never read any of the histories or lore for any D&D setting can say that elves only shoot bow.

My holy Emperor...It cannot be real...
You actually WATCH those Filthy Tau Cartoons!?

You're not supposed to inhale.
>mfw Montecristo No. 5
I don't care if you call me a pleb.

YEAH! FUCK ELVES!!!!!!1

What the fuck is the point if you dont inhale?

To taste the different flavors the filler, binder and wrap create on your tongue due to the combination of tobacco, you pleb.
You CAN teach yourself to inhale, but it's not needed. Go back to your dirt cigarettes, user, some people have taste.
I'll sit with my nice cigar and a glass of bourbon neat.

>Smoking for any reason other than more chemicals
You and I have very different approaches.

Yes, I am not signing up for the chemical cocktail that is modern cigarettes, nor do I smoke to uphold my nic habit.
I can, and occasionally do, put down cigars for a few weeks to clear my palette and reaffirm I smoke for the pleasure of taste, not physical cravings.
It's not even I think myself better, I smoked cigs and quit them cold turkey. I just know that they are flat out bad to smoke, with awful flavor, worse side effects and generally more expensive in the long run.

...

I don't like either.
Elves are literally just "humans but better".
Dwarves are just short Scotsmen.
Bo-ring

but user, I use humans

Read my mind

and what about us who always did and will idolize humans?

Maturity is when you realize that blind tribadism is the best kind of porn there is.

You. Fucking. Freak! I bet you also like hand-holding and consensual sex in the missionary position for the purpose of procreation at the same time! You sick Bastard...I think I'm gonna hurl.

Aren't Elves also supposed to be alcoholic manlets?

Where?

In Tolkien.
They are shorter than men, and can drink more wine than a dwarf

>They are shorter than men
No, they aren't.
>and can drink more wine than a dwarf
Not saying you are wrong about this, but I only know this from the movies.

Why would anyone like Scottish manlet Jews?

Elves are shorter than humans in the first couple editions of D&D

Is this a serious question?_?

They're still 2 inches shorter on average in 5e.

My half giant laughs at both you dwarves and elves, and ponders which of your skulls would polish up better for his collection.

Kobolds a Best, Everyone Else a Shit!

This guy's performance of durin's song is what really sold the "dwarf fantasy" to me, in a sense of visceral emotional understanding rather than just intellectual abstract "I get what you're going for".

When I was but a lad, my eyes were set upon dragons, of all fantasy's creatures.

I suppose basilisks aren't too different, if less regal.

tl;dr what fantasy creatures you like really doesn't say anything about how mature you are.

>playing something other than humans

See, I'm overwhelmingly in favour of Elves, but only for Tolkien's Elves, because all other fantasy to features elves and dwarves other than the folklore he drew from is utterly abysmal shit that is beneath contempt.

Childhood is where you idolize some ill-defined idea of "maturity". Adulthood is where you realize not giving a fuck what people think of what you like makes more sense.

>All these simpering weaklings stupid and foolsome enough to publically show they aren't of orcish blood

I love his Tolkien covers.

Childhood is where you idolize scythes. Adulthood is where you realize swords make more sense.

Honestly, OP, what the fuck are you on about? They're all magic mumbo-jumbo fictional thingiegummywhats. People like what they like.

Childhood is where you idolize DnD, Adulthood is where you realize GURPS makes more sense.

Childhood is where you idolize swords. Adulthood is where you realize poleweapons make more sense.

Childhood is where you idolize poleweapons. Adulthood is where you realize guns make more sense.

Childhood is where you idolize [a thing i don't like].
Adulthood is where you realize [a thing i like] make more sense.

Childhood is where you idolize fantasy. Adulthood is where you realize sci-fi make more sense.
