In no way am I going to say anything bad about this charming guy :D

I'm just laughing at the romanticization of scoundrels.

(It's neither bad nor good, at least as long as the romanticization only applies to non-existent characters, not real bastards.)

Tiktok sound I ran across yesterday: “your Lock Screen is what gets you pregnant”

My Lock Screen:

Listen Talion…….

[dish-licker]

I've left poor Talion in mortal peril for 2 years now 😔 I'm gonna finally go back and write the last four chapters of Shirebound. (In addition to posting the four chapters I have done but never posted.) Wish me luck 🤞

With your thoughts on orc breeding out of the way- who would best to worst dad?

Oh man, this is a hard question! I will try with some of the Uruk/Olog boys i like the most, and hopefully my reasons make sense xD 1- Bruz the Chopper. Yes, I think -Bruz would be a good father. Despite what he did to Talion, he seems to be so genuinely nice for an orc. He is all smiles, very casual, treats you like a friend.... So idk, something tells me he would be good with children! He would know how to connect to his children and train them into nice warriors! 2- Azog the Defiler. OK SO HE ISNT IN THIS GAME BUT- Isnt Bolg his son?? this mean this orc DID breed, he IS a father. Now- I havent finished the hobbit triogy, but his son looked to be quite capable and respect him a lot. Also, he does lead other orcs, and i think orcs father are more like leaders for them, sooo yeah! Then again, I think he woud be a good father in ORc standards... in human though...

3- Ratbag. My poor boy Ratbag... Dont get me wrong, I think he would try. Very hard... But he simply isnt the brightes or most resposible in my eyes. Like... I can see him having to practically abandon his children in times of need- and he would say something like "They need to be independant!!!" Or something- he would feel AWFULL but like... they are orcs! Orcs need to face hardships on theri own to grow! Or something! BUT that said, he would def teach them all he knows. How to be sneaky, how to stay alive, how to befriend people stronger than them... And maybe, just maybe... He can get others to train his children so they become more than him- better, stronger, smarter! He would be one proud papa.

4- Bolg. Since i mentioned Azog i fee like i must mention his son too. Sadly I dont have much more to add to him. I think He coul be an ok father, if he follows his own fathers footsteps, but still, something tels me they both would be cold parents. They want their orc children/ tribe to be fierce, strong. No weakness would be allowed. So im sure they would be pretty toxic... I think he woukd get rid of any weak children he has...

5- Vog the Eternal. Im so sorry, but I cant think of Vog as a good father. He goes to the end of my lost simply because i just... I just cant! If anything since he is a necromancer, if any of his children dies he would be like "I can bring them back- STRONGER!" Wich isnt a good thing to say as a dad...

ATLArda AU in which Fire Lord Sauron sends Zog to resurrect find and tame the last balrog (which was only a plot to kill him), Zog fails to tame it and thus there's a loose balrog spreading destruction around Mordor.

Sauron needs another pretext to end Zog, and which is better than sending him against the Avatar, who had just defeated and dishonored another influential general, Brûz? Bonus points because Zog won't just capture the Avatar, but he will bring him to their side.

After a long series of terrible misadventures and the shocking realisation that he had been bested by a feeble orc waterbender, Zog decided it's time to change flags: he joins the Avatar and his companion (who wants to crush him under a boulder) and teaches him firebending. And lightning-bending! Zog and Ratbag come up together with the lightning-redirection technique.

Of course Zog is a snake and his actual plan is to send the Avatar and Talion against Sauron and let the three of them kill each other, or at least Sauron's death is Zog's first priority, so he can take his place as Fire Lord; in the meantime, he has plenty of chances to learn everything about the Avatar and his weaknesses, therefore Zog has a chance to find a way to kill the Avatar and break the cycle of reincarnations.

...Ratbag's laughter stopped suddenly. When a hand clapped on the uruk's shoulder and Talion turned him to face him, Ratbag's hair stood on end in fright. Uruk stared dumbly at the man's face, trying to guess his emotions. He didn't understand what this man wanted, he hadn't seen him like this before. Had he really said something stupid that made him furious again?

The palm that touched his skin was cold. Memories of their first encounter of "the burning" hand grabbing his head made the uruk hunched over as if he was trying to hide from danger.

-Hey, Ranger, I w-was just kiddin…

Gravewalker held Ratbag firmly by the shoulder and cautiously approached him.

Headcanon - when Talion feels strong emotions that are hard to control his hands become cold from magic.

I just wanted to draw something cute and romantic

POV of your Talion/Celebrimbor drawing: Ratbag just said something perfectly timed and bleakly hilarious (like, it's only funny if you're them) and cracked Talion up. Celebrimbor doesn't want to admit that he gets it.

Yesss I love it!! There was so much wasted potential for fun dynamics with these characters, I was heartbroken that they couldn't even be friends (never mind Shadow of War's ending-that-shall-not-be-named) 😭

Talion fully expected to perish after The One Ring was destroyed, in fact he welcomed it with open arms. But the death he had been waiting for for decades didn't come. Instead he wakes up on a forest floor with the one being that had taken more from him than Sauron.
