I finally found someone to DM for me! I ended up making a very abrasive and flamboyant Barbarian/Rogue girl with a traumatic backstory and mysterious powers.
I'm so excited to play again, its been nearly a year since I lost all of my campaigns in the divorce and I've been itching to play again.

the gorgug-porter conversation is interesting to me because like. yea for the overwhelming majority of the conversation porter’s being shitty & trying to fit gorgug into a box that gorgug just does not fit into by trying to make gorgug’s relationship with his rage more focused on the aggression aspect of it. but then there’s also this specific thing that brennan brought up again in the ap, which is that gorgug’s relationship with his rage is wholly “this is a tool i use to protect my friends.” which isn’t a bad thing! but that’s his Whole relationship with it, & gorgug seems to place next to no value on his rage in relationship to himself. which is problematic, because it’s first & foremost his rage.
being raised in a household with a sort of toxic positivity largely meant that, whether or not it was his parents’ intention, gorgug internalized the message that more traditionally “negative” emotions such as anger are the wrong response to something. part of the reason he prioritizes his artificing is probably because it’s “fixing” things. in comparison to being a barbarian, which gorgug associates with “breaking” things. good vs. bad behavior, in his eyes.
it’s a totally unacceptable bar to measure a 16 y/o by, but i do think part of porter’s reasoning for not letting gorgug multiclass is him recognizing that gorgug generally does not value anger as a valid emotional response to something, at the very least for himself. & that directly conflicts with what being a barbarian is, because whether you like it or not, that rage is what fuels you. but again, barring a kid from pursuing something they deeply care about in part (not entirely, porter has a lot of more bullshit reasons) because of their fundamental values & world outlook is crazy.
so yes, 98% of porter’s reasoning is pretty shitty, immature, rife with a toxic view that there’s only one proper way to access rage, & generally not a good thing to do as a teacher, but also within that reasoning is the 2% of ‘there is a fundamental part of yourself that you only value if you can use it to take care of other people & you need to accept that as something that can take care of you, too.’ but that’s something to discuss with a therapist or a guidance counselor, not something that should hugely impact gorgug’s academic future.

I JUST realized one of my favorite romance novels of all time is basically "What if humans were space orcs?" / falling in love with a space orc. It's called Strange Love by Anne Aguirre and I'll give you a quick summary below.
He's more of a bug than an orc, but Zylar is in trouble. He needs a date for prom a mate for the Choosing or he will be forbidden from ever having a mate, and he'll never have a family and live a normal life. So he uses an alien dating website and goes to pick up his long-distance blind date, but accidentally abducts a human instead.
Beryl is, fortunately, the weirdest bitch on Earth and when she hears that 1) it's almost impossible to go to Earth again and 2) her accidental abductor faces a fate worse than death if he doesn't get a wife, decides to go along with the whole shebang.
Because the most important quality in a mate is the ability to protect the younglings, he constantly calls her his "Fearsome" one and how intimidating her "threat displays" are (aka when she smiles) and that she is so strong and terrifying and her sonic attacks are devastating (when she yells), and she's like. You know I was just playing along but everyone here thinks I'm a badass and I kind of like it. She's also pansexual and her friend she makes in the Choosing is a nonbinary tree alien which I found charming.
Anyway then Beryl and Zylar have to make it through the bloody gladiatorial games to earn the right to get married and OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO MENTION SHE BRINGS HER DOG WITH HER.
Because all aliens look alike to Zylar, he gives Beryl a translator chip AND he gives her dog a translator chip so one of the characters is a talking dog.
Anyway this book is funny, unexpectedly hot, very sweet, and very cool, and I genuinely think more people should read it.
