The Orc Tag on Tumblr

~60% discussions of LOTR/orcs in LotR

~40% warhammer orks stuff

~45% people being horny for orcs (44% men being horny for buff bear daddy orcs)

~20% orcs in D&D

~1%, at best, discussions of orcs from a worldbuilding/characterization in settings standpoints (the thing I'm searching the tag for)

#Yes that's more than 100% #The categories overlap #No hate on the mlm orc lovers just not my thing #I should be.... encouraged by the bear thing? Given that I was assigned male and am overweight? But actually I just hate it. #I don't want to be a buff orc daddy #I want to be a spooky and mysterious orc waif who holds mighty shamanistic powers behind a veneer of apparent wasting #But also rn I'm just looking for things I can steal to create orc culture for a D&D game #Cuz Tolkien orcs are boring cannon fodder mooks #Warhammer orks are a one-note joke--albeit a funny one #Blizzard orcs are... they're fine? I guess? But very uninspired tbh #Gimme the orcs with cultures that have been extensively written by queer lore nerds!
