      You know the guy on the left was the runner up for the veil, and he's just working out his frustration.

      Good thing too, I hear he'd be a total Bridezilla and make the whole thing miserable for his husband. The bone-trimmed, blood-mousse-filled cake is one thing, but does it have to be nine layers?

        tbh i'm not sure what gender the original artist of the right-hand image intended the orc to be, might be a tomboy or NB and frankly I love that the picture is ambiguous enough for everyone to project onto

    If your orc culture doesn't have at least a partially fleshed-out conlang with a phonology that accommodates for their tusks then don't talk to me. Just shrinking them so that they're barely fangs is WEAK.

      I named my bug lady character exclusively with sounds that do not require lips to make so I'll damn well make sure any orcish that shows up is tusk-friendly

          idk what it is in IPA but "Kireza" is her name. The "r" is kind of a trill with the tongue.

          the ship's chef is an orc, his name is "Krashi" which thanks to experimenting with shoving my fingers into my mouth proves to be tusk-friendly as well

        I appreciate Wizards doing this for Thri-Kreen

        Thri-kreen Names: Chit'al, Drik-chkit, Gulnik, Kiktul, Klaktuk, Krik, Pok, Ptekwe, Tal'tich, Tilnak, Tik-tik.

          Yes, the Dzeturi are a legally distinct desert-dwelling mantid race with blood memories that I created, completely different from the thri-kreen sweat

    I mean....Tolkien's orcs apparently didn't look like that either; apparently they were either human height or slightly shorter. They wouldn't have looked like Thrall.
