U know what
Orcs are fantastic folk. They're interesting, intelligent, and powerful, all of them. I love how they're culturally invested, (it reminds me of home). They're a proud race made of muscle and war, and it's why they're so scary, but awesome.
Like, have u seen this Uruk Hai named Ratbag? He looks like crap, but he's smart? Anyway, one of the very, very, very few who stays loyal to Talion (you) until he goes somewhere with his Olog bf or whatever they are. Bf stands for "Big friend". Yes. ☆
Don't know what an Olog Hai is? Me too, but this motherfucker. Ugh, this sexy Australian motherfucker. He's the reason why i'm watching playthroughs of Shadow of War, the reason why i have an extreme thirst. Werid betrayal with a literal backstab. Sexy, sexy troll... ♡ HHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG (imma say this rn, some of them have nipple piercings and im just like lord help me please). What's tedious is that when you shame him into a point where he's deranged, the has three brothers you have to kill. Daz, Baz, and Gaz. Where the fuck does Bruz come in? IT RUINS THE RHYMING THING. >:U
HERE WE HAVE ONE OF THE GREATEST DADS I'VE EVER SEEN. I MEAN, HE'S THE FATHER OF ORC JESUS. ALSO HOT. FUCKING AMAZING CGI MADE ME HOT ON MY THEATER SEAT OPENING NIGHT. FUCK IT, ALL THE ORCS WERE HOT. (You know they put time and effort into this film) LOOK AT DAD'S CHEST HAIR.
Oh yeah, he has a baby in the movie. Look at that. HE SO TINY ♡. It's so pure. (no idea who he is, but thats cool af)
I cannot forget one the more interesting orcs, (well I think it's interesting) is the ones in Netflix's movie Bright. The subject of racism is light for me and I understand it, like... rated M Zootopia. Not to mention that they're, like, blotchy, which is uncommon, because they're usually tan or green. Yeah, the humor is kinda cringy, but knowing it's from an orc who tries to break the ice and stand up against prejudice from his own peers, I can forgive that.
Jakoby is an orc that can say "fuck" but choses not to. He's a cinnamon roll, too pure for this world.
"Filed", meaning "unblooded", he doesn't belong in any orc community, as if banished or ashamed of him. Even worse is that he's a cop. Even his own kind doesn't like him. They call him a "fake orc". He's special, so he gets two gifs. I watched this for him. Three times. #noregrettispaghetti
And I'm pretty sure I'm missing other ones like Warhammer (40K) and Elder Scrolls. I just never had real reason to look at them. I downloaded a game called Orc Evolution and it's cute and charming WITH ORC-RELATED PUNS. I LOVE THIS GAME. (It's those grinding games tho)
MY FAVORITE, HOWEVER ARE INPORNGIFS O.C ORCS. THEY ARE FANTASTIC. I have one, but never really came into mind into what'd he look like... I mean, obviously tall and green, but never thought of anything else. (He has a big family and all work on a wine farm, some of them working in the financial works).
Orcs are great. Don't give them shit or they'll fuck up ur shit. And take all of it. But they can be nice, just... be nice to them. And they might protect ur shit, i dunno. I bet they make great boy/girl friends. I want one.
Edit 8/14 (finally wrote something about it...)
After looking at Of Orcs and Men, I think it's also my favorite iteration of orc-kind. I mean, they don't have tusks, but they pack muscle sweet baby jesus. It's a shame i never learned of this game existence, but then again, i was like, 12. The orcs in this game have been enslaved by mankind, and Arkaïl and Styx go on this lengthy journy to save the orc slaves. The best part, you get to play as both. Of Orcs and Men is a game i've never really seen before; these orcs being enslaved. Not something that's possible, right? But it happened, and they died during that time. It's an underrated game that needs to have a remake because damn, i'm like 5 years late into that fandom. Oh, did i mention they have American accents?
And it's fuckin hilarious; the swearing that's sprinkled in this game. It's like LotR, but with swearing. No flowerly language involved. Like, if the time called for it, they will swear. Imagine an orc saying fuck or shit, it's out of tradition, but i love it??? And Styx is the icing on the cake. He and Ark are complete opposites, but they synchronize so well??? I mean, through thick and thin, they got each others back.
Styx: *makes witty comment*
Arkaïl: shut the fuck up
Look at them. Their bromance is too powerful. And dammit im gonna ship it, i dont care if Arkaïl has a mate or Styx being "old enough to be his grandfather".
