That's perfectly understandable and I agree that this shit sucks. Those gleeful people aren't doing shit though, they still have to beg something else to do it for them. They're like toddlers with a toy piano that plays prerecorded tunes for every button and they think they're the ones playing.

To give others the chance to experience stories that would never be approved by the Machine. At least that's why I do it. Sure, we may never have the same reach as their slop, but they're not in charge of everything b/c they're not in charge of us.

Graznikh's mind tends to wander towards the exotic, or what passes for exotic for him anyway. He also has a bit of a dom kink that he's never been able to live out. A chance encounter with a stranger who's afraid of him at first but eventually submits to his charm and wit.

The only good reason for taking over strongholds is so that you can walk around in peace and listen to uruk banter I'm still waiting for the dating sim dlc

When I joined (just before Moria opened iirc) everyone could run and jump. But I was in a very hardcore Elf RP kinship and was in character all the time, so walking wherever appropriate was mandatory.

And when I say "walk", I mean that literally. No horse, no running, no speed boosts. Walk. Which reminds me that I haven't walked from Lindon to Harad yet.

I'm not implying that Adar is an Elf btw, just that braiding hair as trauma management is Elf-coded.

#Tolkientober Day 6 - Bows Elves have some f-ed up ways to deal with trauma. First Adar with his braids, now Galadriel with... whatever this is. Marnûkh may have the patience of a Maia but there comes a point when any self-respecting Uruk must make a stand! Any day now. Aaany day...

Exactly! Everyone does this at their own pace, it's not a competition. I have the luxury of being able to draw all day long if I want to (and sometimes it's all my broken body allows me to do) so might as well use that time while it's possible.

Thank you! I did cheat a little though as I started with the lineart for many of these already when the list was first announced 😇 And what better opportunity to educate people about Orcs whether they want to learn or not lol It's all canon too, I have sources for everything I share in these posts

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
- more details to it. That kind of thing has no practical use, someone saw a shape in nature and refined it which is something Elves understand deeply. Suddenly this Orc is no longer just another enemy but a person.

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Thank you! I imagine what gave the Elf pause is the pendant in the Orc's lap. It was hidden inside his clothing but the spear cut the cord and it fell out in the final scuffle. It's supposed to be a deer hoof bone which naturally has roughly the shape of a horse's head, and someone later added -

#Tolkientober Day 5 - Birds A trio of Orcs are entertaining the local crebain. While these intelligent, crow-like birds are commonly associated with evil due to them being suspected spies of Saruman in LotR, there's nothing in the lore suggesting they ever cooperated with Orcs directly. #orctober

Day4 of #tolkientober "poet"-One of my abs. fav things about #Maglor , as much a poet as a musician, is even as broken as he is he takes #elrond + #elros into his heart and under his arms.(Credit to @mgcoco.bsky.social for forever changing my head canon design for twins) #fanart #doodle #sketch

Graznikh got to hang out with his best friend again after over two years apart! He's also about to disqualify himself from working in the mines which he hates, although the way he does that is... less than ideal.

Graznikh's built like a tank after working in the mines, so he could easily throw around potential partners however he (or they) likes.

Feat. my Noldor OC Falastír, Whindaër's older brother. I wonder if any Elf ever looked into the eyes of an Orc on the battlefield thinking that if fate had turned out just a little differently, that might've been them?

#Tolkientober Day 4 - Poetry "Thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orkor in envy and mockery of the Eldar, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes." There's a cruel poetry in taking the fairest race in Middle-earth and twisting them into their own worst enemy. #orctober

As a trader, Kurrush's whole deal is making goods change hands while turning a profit so it's not the first time he's visited this particular forge. These two have bandied threats often enough that the other workers have grown bored of listening to them.

#Tolkientober Day 3 - Forge Orcs are quite industrious and can be great smiths when they feel like it. While not always pleasing to the eye, tools of Orc-make excel in sheer functionality. Getting the smiths to part with said tools, however, can be a bit of a challenge. #orctober

Thank you! It's kind of my whole thing, to try to give more nuance to the Orcs without diminishing what makes them unique. Rings Of Power does SUCH a good job at that that I barely have to lift a finger XD

Perfectly on-brand for Shâtaz tbh 😁 meanwhile Graznikh thinks he's this great epic raider who cuts down tarks left and right

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yes! In the books, refusing the summons to Mandos is a sign that the fëa was "tainted" but that could of course just be pro-Valar propaganda.

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Also, new Orc just dropped! Or new look at least; Ranmath first appeared in the prologue chapter and has been mentioned once after that. She's a veteran raider who will have a big impact on Graznikh when they meet later on.

This is a sneak peek of how the tarks will look in future chapters of my webcomic. I will die on the hill that Tolkien's original helmet design is actually pretty damn cool if made into an actual battle-ready helmet.

#Tolkientober Day 2 - Luck Somewhere in Calenardhon, a young Orc raider faces his first Númenórean warrior. The Man is taller, better equipped and certain of victory, but fortune does not always favour the bold and the Orc emerges the victor through sheer dumb luck. #orctober
