I'd leave, but this is turning into a kind of contest of will between me and the GM. I'm not blinking before he does.
I don't get these two. What are they from?
The first one is Nine Princes in Amber and The Guns of Avalon from Eric's perspective.
I have no idea about the second one.

Nah, it's a short story called "Animal Lover" by Stephen Donaldson.
Noice.
the best part about tulkas is that not only can he grapple the world, he grapples the world while laughing constantly.
also, he's banging the goddess of dance, and you just know she's tight and lithe as shit. i bet she's the only creature in lotr who can successfully grapple tulkas; via her seductive poses.
Nice choice of image to accompany this post. And I mean it.

Fuck my DM. It's apparently some kind of life lesson for my and my character, but I haven't learnt shit apart from 'I am always right and they are always wrong.'
Sounds to me like you're a jerk.

surprisingly, it wasn't that bad of a campaign
Is that some Journey to the West I see there user? Good taste.
I think I played that campaign, were you the dumbass who specked in throwing weapons the whole campaign then switched to a sword for the last few sessions?
...
And then later your asshat brother realizes that he never actually wanted to be king anyway, he just had it out for you because he's a cunt.
I was able to retrain with a swordsmaster, so it all worked in the end.
Just imagine the butthurt of Melkor. He's ready to take over the world as its new overlord, and suddenly this guy descends from the heavens and just wrestles him to the ground while laughing like a dick.

Both you and your DM have the wrong priorities.
Have another picture of Tulkas then. Maybe this fits your taste better.
...
My man
Fuck. Alright I get the joke now.
OP shouldn't have used D&D terminology though
To be fair, some of the NPCs in that campaign were baller as fuck.

The DMs just needed to spitball with some people who can tell then their ideas are shit. Great ideas with terrible execution.
Nickelodeon just paying for single seasons and leaving them hanging in the air for money didn't help either. If they had all four seasons fully financed from the beginning, it surely would have been better. At least, it worked with TLA. Can't make a grand story if you can't even be sure if you have the money to do soFucking Nickelodeon
yeah, that's the ticket
ARE YOU READY FOR TULK MANIA?
Paul is that you?
>Spiritual leader of air magicians turns out to not be that great with spiritual stuff
Fuck off you massive faggot, Tenzin being the eternal ineffectual buttmonkey of the show pissed me off to no end.
>Metal cop is the best example of LG (at least in the begining)
Lin was one of the least bad characters in the show so I will give you that.
>Eccentric merchant and his seemingly insane shenanigans. Turns out he's a "all according to keikaku" genius.
Literally the only good character of the show, though they tried very hard to ruin his amusing relationship with his assistant towards the end.
>Super cool masked bad guy want to take make the world equal, even though he is the very thing he wants to destroy.
Fuck off, revealing him as a bender and giving him those stupid daddy issues made him shit and made most of his actions make zero sense.
>Old school living anarchist gets air magic. Amazon Girlfriend gets killed, and he gets flight.
One of the least bad characters in the show so fine I'll give you that.

We have plenty of those.
