I'm sure this is a, uh. A question I might not get an answer to. But can anyone tell me what this is a reference to?

This is Rokhan's pissed quote from Warcraft 3, for reference.

У меня есть AU, в которой события катаклизма+BFA происходят одновременно сразу после окончания WOTLK.

Вол'джин погиб во время штурма ледяной короны, следующим вождём стал разведчик-охотник Рокхан. Крошечное племя, находящееся в его власти оказывается на распутье -- подчиниться новым порядкам Орды, в которой набирает силу Гаррош, или отклинуться на призыв принцессы Таланджи, которая обещает исправить ошибки Зула.

Man. Silaha's design with Abubakar's voice. Just their first couple of sentences and I'm already kinda blushing.

What a lovely design and voice

It’s funny how as much as I love playing elves in MMOs (read: WoW) I’ll role a beast race character first thing in others such as Argonians/Khajiit in ESO, Charr in GW2, and Mi’qote in FF14 (ironic, considering how much I loathe the portrayal of catgirls), but I can’t bring myself to main a tauren because the anti-heroic/villainous elements they do have - read: non-Horde Grimtotem tauren - is insignificant next to the more heroic/lawful aesthetic that comprises them.

I think part of the reason is because, for someone that’s supposed to be their racial leader, Baine is...pretty much a non-character. I guess he can be forgiven for that one-dimensionality due to his age - and I think he can be considered young - but if you were to put him next to pre-Legion!Anduin he may as well be almost the same character, just he’s a cow-guy and not a human. Then again, even pre-Legion!Anduin has strokes of leaning into anti-heroic qualities a’la using Void magic on his allies in MoP, but he’s still mostly good.

Baine is such a non-sequitur that for all intents and purposes he’s Just There. And, like, okay, I don’t mind him being good but I do mind him not being fleshed out enough to make him stand on his own and apart from Anduin.

So, yeah, that’s my take on why I don’t roll tauren (except the one I do have, but he’s an alt and I just use him for farming mogs).

... I had an idea I swear.

Then halfway it just evaporated from my mind lmaooo. So I'll allow you guys to fill in the blanks of what they are talking about.

Zekhan and Talanji are actually really cute and if when blizzard finally remembers Talanji exists they accidentally ship her with Rokhan instead bc the rescue quest at the beginning of BFA I will never forgive

Having recently gotten back into wow, and feeling the urge to write, I'm once again frustrated by the way the only characters who get any significant amount of spotlight are almost all the leaders of nation or in other ways justz the important people in the world™.

Like to pick a completely arbitrary example: the mission to free Talanji and Zul includes Rokhan (leader of the Darkspear tribe), Thalyssra (leader of Suramar) and Nathanos (direct representative of the Horde itself). Like you are sending 3 of your major power players to free political prisoners, meaning if the mission fails, you're giving the Alliance 3 even more significant political prisoners to hold over your head!

You could write an entire essay about the unexamined fascist ideology present in WoW and the way that manifest as drawing strict correlation between combat prowess and the ability to lead.

But that's not what I wanna complain about today. Rather I'm just frustrated by the fact that this leads to a setting in which, as a fanfic author, my only real means of exploring what the world looks like for those without power and privilege, is by either using OCs or trying to retool background characters to something with depth.
