dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

but fr though that pic on the right got me like hyperflush

they're so cute

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

I really appreciate that. What's her name (in IPA, if you know)?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

International phonetic alphabet I think

I meant I'm not copy pasting IPA symbols for a Hexbear post

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That's what TypeIt is for! (Not that you should actually bother, but it's a handy way to type IPA if you ever need to)

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 don't get it if your going to be an Orc fucker atleast make them big muscle bound brutes not green twinks.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would you say that Good Times Make Weak Orcs?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Good times for an Orc probably make very strong orcs.

They're called wood elves.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The problem with orc twinks is that if you're even a little rough with them they get less twinky

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They die a glorious twink death in battle

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

They likes a gud crumpin' they do

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

No big muscle-bound himbo top orc bf.

Why live?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Less orc boys, more orc bois sicko-gay

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

You can have little a orc boy, as a treat

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Both. Both are good.

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.
