Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 11hThat'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. 010
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 12hTo 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. 150
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 15hGraznikh'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. 000

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 20hCurrently trying to draw an Ent (or something) for day 10. It is NOT going well. What are trees?? 130
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 20hYup, I'm still getting used to the Bree overhaul and that happened years ago XD Still no inventory space though, but now it's b/c of collectibles I don't have the heart to throw away 100
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 21hYou'll have to do it the oldfashioned way and boil it in a pot 😁 110
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 21hThere were no cosmetic slots, so my inv was 90% disguise outfits for whenever a quest took me into Bree or the like XD good times 000
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 21hWhen 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. 210
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 22hAnd 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. 120
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 23hOh, this one's all Galadriel's fault 😁 She's dealing with some wrapping-related PTSD after her encounter with a certain Lord of Gifts 110
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm not implying that Adar is an Elf btw, just that braiding hair as trauma management is Elf-coded. 030

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This one also falls under #orctober and #TolkienTrewsday ! What? They didn't specify what kind of bows we were supposed to draw XD 150
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 06/10/2026#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... 3157
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 06/10/2026COMIC UPDATE! In which stuff happens that's nobody's fault, really. itgotm.the-comic.orgitgotm.the-comic.orgIn The Glow Of The MountainPanic! at the lakeside 121
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Exactly! 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. 110

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Thank 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 110
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. 110
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Thank 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 - 110

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#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 2125

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Graznikh 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. 040
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Graznikh's built like a tank after working in the mines, so he could easily throw around potential partners however he (or they) likes. 030

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Feat. 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? 130
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 04/10/2026#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 2166

Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 03/10/2026As 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. 130
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 03/10/2026#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 2217
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026No discrimination, the Dark Lord hates us all equally 🖤 130
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Thank 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 010
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Perfectly on-brand for Shâtaz tbh 😁 meanwhile Graznikh thinks he's this great epic raider who cuts down tarks left and right 110
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yes! 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. 010
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Also, 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. 000
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This 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. 100
Hoglorfen @hoglorfen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026#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 2104
