IF YOU ABSOLUTE MOTHER FUCKERS KILL DRAKA AGAIN I WILL ACTUALLY FALL APART AS A HUMAN BEING DONT DO THAT TO ME

[mipeltaja-art]

Various Draka sketches from the planning stages of that “Draka lives” comic I made + AU of an AU where Draka not only survived but raised her son alone, cut off from other orcs, and finally made it back to her clan some twenty years later like “Sup, my son needs shaman training”.

What do you think of the "revenge bad" tropes frequently found

it actually pisses me off sooooo much when characters are like "ohhh but if i hurt or kill the bastard who made my life and others' a living hell i'm just as bad as they are!" like grow up and shoot him what are you catholic

[valtsv]

"but i'm too good to kill anyone! :(" i'm not. give me the gun.

     “ Of courssse. You wouldn’t shut up about it. ”

     In her defense, she hadn’t been paying attention.

     Yes, yes, In-life-I-was-Draka-of-the-blahblahblah, something something wolves. Wonderful for you, just get that little spieling ritual over with already. Places to be, and all. 

     And if she had had opportunities before now to connect the lines of Draka of —wolves with Draka, mother of Thrall then, well, consider: a young child of Lordaeron would have been told of this warchief like he were a demon great as Kil’jaeden, and while subsequent interaction had proven him boring as Velen, she still never… You know. Considered the idea that he had ever been younger than the adult monster she’d been warned against.

     So you might consider forgiving her, Baroness, for not slotting two and two together very swiftly.

     Putting down those damned blades would be a great way to start.

     Leather creaks as she grips Lament tighter. She itched to pull it free, but she was… attempting her mother’s cure-all, diplomacy…

     “ He’s not any great friend of mine. Mulling on his dead parents isn’t what I do for fun. ”

                    𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐘 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒   curl around the hilts of her blades with a newfound vigor, her teeth grit so hard that it is a mystery how they don’t shatter. maldraxxus has presented her with every kind of insolence that she had never tolerated in life ― but this is uncharacteristic even of the festering wound that has become her home. the restraint she has so carefully learned is ebbing away with every WORD the maw walker speaks ...

... especially in regard to her son.

          ❝ i am surprised no one has relieved you of your tongue, CHAMPION. ❞   her tone is scathing, lips curling back ‘round her tusks in a snarl fit for a frostwolf. the revelation swirls in her head, even as she steps forward; HER SON IS ALIVE. the boy she had died to protect  ( and would a thousand times over )  had lived, and through some twist of fate that she could not decide was cruel or benevolent, he was HERE.

          one hand raises from draka’s blade to hook the front of her newfound ally’s chestplate. with a sharp tug, their faces are inches apart, and the intensity of the baroness’ gaze cannot be IGNORED.

          ❝ i do not care what he is to you. you are not stupid ― i know you could make the connection. but you chose not to, and THAT is where i take issue. ❞   there is a small squeak behind the lowness of draka’s growl, bone dragging against metal.   ❝ choose your words carefully, because that is MY SON. torghast will not keep me from him, the jailer will not keep me from him, and you will most certainly not keep me from him. ❞

          draka’s lip twitches; she does not breathe, even as she gives her arm a jerk.   ❝ tread lightly, MAW WALKER. or it will be his dead mother that flattens you. ❞

06.  𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨  :  𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 ? 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 ?   if we’re talking solely romantic then they really aren’t that important to her - the act of finding one, at least. it’s never been a concern, she’s perfectly capable of being on her own and if anything is more comfortable in solitude. her relationship with durotan certainly wasn’t planned, but she is eternally grateful for him and, even in death, loves him with every single fiber of her being. he’s truthfully the only one she has eyes for and before she died, the only one she could ever picture herself having a future with. in death, she still thinks about him every day. any other romantic relationship is out of the question and she won’t entertain the thought.

18.  𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙣  :  𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 ? 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙧𝙚 ?   more than anything, draka wants the life with her family that she was denied. she wants to wake up beside durotan every morning and watch as her son grows into the next chieftain. she wants to go hunting with her friends and family and bring home prized pieces of prey, to eat it with the clan around the fire that night and have a good time. she just wants to do ... normal things. a normal life, that she was well on her way to having !!  but that was ripped away from her a long time ago, and she has  ( mostly )  accepted that she just wasn’t meant for that.

𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 @warwaged​ asked :    The hierophant / the star

05.  𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙩  :  𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚’𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙨 / 𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙨 ? 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙙𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 ?   draka follows her moral code very strictly, both in life and death. she falls under neutral good, basically - she doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty to help if it’s of extreme importance, but she doesn’t bother in small things that she deems trivial. the only time that her morals ever really fell to the wayside was when the orcs had to war on the draenei prior to leaving through the dark portal. it was something she detested doing and she didn’t believe in it at all - but it was the only way to guarantee her clan a place in the new world, so she stood with durotan in his decision. 

in death, her morals have slipped a tiny bit. she isn’t against stealth as a war tactic anymore, clearly, and in general she just Cares Less ... but protecting those who need to be protected and doing her job is still important to her. she won’t give that up for anything; her morals only slip when she has no other choice than to break them.

17.  𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧  :  𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 ? 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 ?   well ... currently ??  in death ??  there isn’t much that really brings her comfort, honestly. i think, even though durotan’s spirit isn’t in maldraxxus, she can sense his soul through the bond that they shared and tell that he isn’t in peril. wherever he is, he’s at least happy. prior to meeting thrall she tries really hard to comfort herself with the hope that her son is alive, somehow, but she really struggles to believe it. i suppose the greatest comfort to her right now is that she still has a purpose in serving maldraxxus and the house of the chosen, and that’s really all she has.

00.  𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙡  :  𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚’𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 ? 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙤𝙧  𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 ?   it really ... depends on the nature of the change being made. in general, change excites draka - with change comes new challenges to overcome and more ways to test herself. she was largely eager to begin a new life with her family on azeroth, despite all the anguish it took to get there, because it at least gave her some peace to think that her clan’s prolonged suffering could finally end. clearly it didn’t end that way for her and durotan - which leads to her next new beginning !!  except she doesn’t find this one as exciting. 

in fact, her introduction to maldraxxus was terrifying - the knowledge that her husband had fallen with her  ( while not being able to find his spirit, either )  as well as the fact that she genuinely doesn’t know if their son will live or not makes it hard to be excited about anything. as if that isn’t enough she’s also being trained in the art of stealth, something she had always been taught was dishonorable in combat endeavors. her hunting skills were weaponized in ways that she didn’t want to embrace, and that was terrifying for her. but, in the realization she didn’t have any other choice, she did embrace it. it still isn’t her ideal afterlife, but she’s taken it in stride as much as she can and is definitely not afraid any longer.

07.  𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙩  :  𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 ? 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙧 ?   draka’s a smug winner and a sore loser. she takes great pride in all of her victories, likes to boast, and if she doesn’t like you she’ll definitely take an opportunity to rub it in your face. she’s not an annoyingly sore loser - she doesn’t whine about it, but she definitely gets angry and will likely demand a rematch. especially if she doesn’t like you.

09.  𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙩  :  𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 ? 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 - 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩 ?   not very often. it’s not that she doesn’t care, it’s just that she hasn’t really had the time to. her life was a constant struggle for survival, even in her youth, and not much has changed in death. she really only stops to self-reflect when she feels that she’s done something she shouldn’t, or is prompted to by someone else. when she learns that thrall is a shaman, she may ask him for some meditation tips.

10.  𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙚  :  𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 / 𝙗𝙖𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙩𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨 ?   draka takes setbacks well only because she doesn’t linger on them very long - if option 1 doesn’t work, she moves straight on to option 2, so on and so forth. she’s not the type to let one issue get her down. when she has a goal, she works until she figures it out, and doesn’t let any setback get to her beyond momentary frustration.
