SAD ORCS

Idk where I got this idea from but ooooo I rarely draw sad emotions so this was pretty ding dang fun.

[warehouse-in-la-cienaga]

My favourite trope in fanfiction is actually time-travel meeting, where the younger ones can see that things do actually get better, and the older ones can see that they have actually changed, and they’ve achieved so much. And I think the Bad Kids are primed for that kind of thing.

I’m imagining that they’ve been graduated for a few years, they’ve got their own careers, but they do still adventure pretty regularly and are a well known party. Then, they’re fighting something that’s gotten ahold of a chronomancy object, and when one of the BKs tries to grab it, they (and the thing they’re fighting) are sent back in time.

Meanwhile, it’s the second day of freshman year, everyone is still standing outside, waiting for the first bell, the younger BKs are whispering about what the corn means, when a huge monster falls through a rip in time and crushes one of the statues near the front doors. Then, before anyone can do anything, six full grown adventurers are destroying it and grabbing the watch and pulling each other up, congratulating each other, laughing.

Goldenhoard tries to go up to them and ask what’s going on, and the goblin on the half-orc’s shoulders pulls out a gun and shoots him point blank. Everyone’s confused as hell, and the group don’t seem to know where they are. Until someone mentions the date, and then they just look kind of exhausted. At the end of the day, when the young BKs try to go to Krom’s to spy on Johnny Spells, they find older versions of themselves, who spent the day reminding themselves what happened and figuring out how to help with Freshman Year level problems, including-

-Fig getting Gorthalax out, sitting all her parents and younger self down and having a talk about how best to keep communication open and be kinder to yourselves, since they all want each other to be happy.

-Fabien has a long talk with both of his parents, getting his mom sober earlier, and a talk with younger him about being your own person and living up to expectations.

-Adaine pulls younger her from her family, and gets Aelwyn to chill. She does get her parents out of Elmville, via Blackmail or other means, with the implicit threat of punching them to death. She now has two younger sisters, and encourages the type of emotional self expression that was previously repressed.

-Riz giving his younger self the schedule he works on, including breaks for all meals and six hours of sleep each night. He doesn’t allow younger him to fall int the bad habits he did. He also tells his mom a little bit about his dads new job, and they have a happy cry about it.

-Gorgug gives his parents the schematics for a reinforced bed and a few of his works. Younger Gorgug is a little starstruck that older him is so cool, and Gorgug takes a minute to explain to younger him that he deserves to have the things he puts effort and thought into pay off, that he deserves to take pride in the cool things he could accomplish.

-Kristin gets younger her to speed run an entire theological breakdown, reassures her at every step, and gets her into a more relaxed, solid mindset with a support system outside of her family. She also has to find a smart way of getting young Kristin to realise she’s a lesbian without sending her into a crisis, and is semi-successful.

-Throughout the year, the older BKs have run ins with their parents, go about fixing problems for Sophmore and Junior year (they stop Porter’s plan, and when he runs off Gorgug ends up being a substitute Barbarian teacher for half the year). They’re trying to figure out how to get back to their time. The ending is either Kristin dying to Coach Dawn and bringing Arthur back, who can send them back, or they can’t go back, so now there’s two versions of the BKs running around, and if both groups are in one place, everyone else evacuates, because something is about to go down.

Maybe Izu (he is sideline in his own story to an insane degree and I don't like how he is "I will be mad at villains only" but he doesn't care for fame. He is a solid maybe in this shit story)

Present Mic ...is a solid maybe as he is often behind Aizawa.

Rock Lock didn't want to use kids in a war. That is great.

Gang orc? He appears briefly but hey he didn't give a fuck about bk or shoto.

looking back at the scene of death arms quitting, it becomes clear that the author wanted to make this a humanizing moment for the heroes. But this falls flat because of the heroes reasoning for quitting. They're nit quitting for an understandable reason like say, being frightened if the omnipotent city-dedtroying powerscaler's wet dream that wants evryone and everything dead. No no no! That would actually make sense and show how hero society's pedastals negative affect heroes too! You wanna know the actual reason? Because they weren't getting the praise and worship they used to. Yoroi musha strsight up admits he was in it for the fame, and death arms says "one negative comment is stronger than ten supporting comments." So all this does is make the heroes look even more shallow and corrupt than they already are shown to be. The civilians had every reason to turn against the heroes. But some certain folk (you guys know who I'm talking about) think that the heroes should respond by leaving the people to die. Mha stans really do love acting like abusers don't they?

[qweermonkey]

the whole time i was watching bk i was wondering why zaza had like blue skin while angel kinda had orange/fair skin, but her being orcs half sister definitely covers that up

it also opens up so many venues for backstory bc why on gods green earth is angel-legendary-warrior-royale cahooting with the freaking orc king, and why was anyone for that matter? was orc and his brothers mom also an orc? we havent seen any evidence of there being female orcs, unless they live on a seperate island.

also also since zaza is orc kings daughter, does she possess any orc magic? its said that everyone expect orc and orc king were frozen after kitty went to the final realm bc of their magic, so does it mean she doesnt have any, or does she have to be fullblood orc to use it? what abt orcs brothers? is orc magic smth ur born with or train to master? too many questions and probably more i could be asking

Here's a non-shipping request (albeit one that could be pretty time-consuming): Who does each champion like the least among their fellow champs? The idea that everyone get's along well enough to live in the same building together seems to be a widely accepted headcanon on this blog, but there must be SOME animosity between certain characters... This might sound a bit hypocritical after I just sent in such an extensive request, but please make sure to take some time off to prepare for finals

I went through every single champion’s voice lines and little available canon lore for this. Because I really had no idea how to answer for some of them. Just saying though, there are a lot of champions repeated through this list, as I wasn’t sure how a few characters could plausibly end up as another’s least favourite champion (YING). Also, please don’t take this as any kind of character bashing. It was just what I felt were the most fitting for each character. 

-Mod Inara. 

Makoa: Androxus. He legitimately believes Androxus to be a wicked soul for him to be cursed, and doesn’t trust him at all. 

Fernando: Drogoz. He really doesn’t mind pretty much anyone, but he really, really, really, hates it when Drogoz Dragon Punches him through his shield, which he is very proud of. 

Ruckus: Grohk. It’s not really a hate or anything, but the goblin really doesn’t like it when the orc short-circuits Bolt with his lightning. Bolt doesn’t mind though. Let him rest. 

Barik: Pip and Skye. Barik already doesn’t like the Vulpins nor the Elves (I’m not kidding his voice lines to them are so mean), but he has a particular dislike for the two who keeps throwing annoying bombs at him and his inventions. 

Ash: Fernando. She finds him a disgrace to knights in general, and hates his flirtatious and seemingly carefree attitude. 

Torvald: Buck. Long story short, he thinks Buck isn’t intelligent, and doesn’t fully trust him to be on the same team. He doesn’t ever voice this though. 

Inara: Barik and Zhin. She doesn’t hate them, but she is extremely against the way the two treat nature, with Barik carving up mountains for his inventions and Zhin burning down forests for what seems to be no more than sadistic fun. 

Drogoz: This was hard Drogoz seems to hate everyone. Kinessa. Having someone who constantly slows him even in the air then shooting him out of his place in the skies had really ticked this dragon off enough times. 

Bomb King: Willo. He can’t help but find her a little annoying, and he doesn’t find it amusing how her seedlings are technically bombs. It’s petty, but what kind of bomb doesn’t have a fuse and proper explosions? 

Cassie: Drogoz. He tried to eat Zigs. Multiple times. As a joke. Yeah she’s not doing him any favours anytime soon. 

Lian: Jenos. He pulls off the white hair better than she does. She doesn’t like Jenos’s arrogance and doesn’t believe he’s truly a god. Also Zhin, who she finds extremely dishonorable as a fellow leader of somewhat noble standing.

Kinessa: Strix. Their relationship is extremely strained due to Kinessa walking out on him while he was still her mentor. She’s not eager to try and repair that relationship.

Sha Lin: Maeve. She keeps mocking him and stealing from him, cuz he’s apparently an “easy target” for her and his pride lowkey hates her for it. 

Viktor: Lian. He strongly dislikes her arrogant attitude, and hates how she seems to believe him cowardly even though he views his escapes as tactical retreats and finds it foolish for her to lead troops into battles where they can only “win or die”. 

Tyra: Pip. Honestly just doesn’t see him as anymore than another hunted animal that isn’t worth her time and energy. Doesn’t pay him much mind at all. 

Willo: Fernando. She really didn’t like it when she stepped on that one flower in front of her that one time. 

Evie: Tyra. Evie simply hates the way Tyra keeps throwing Fire Bombs, which affect her more than most, and their personalities don’t exactly match up well either. 

Skye: Drogoz. That stupid flying lizard attacked and knocked her out for a single gold coin, then left her there alone in the middle of an empty temple. Of course she’s still mad. 

Androxus: Seris. Honestly Androxus doesn’t like anyone, but Seris is the only fellow champion he feels genuinely uneasy with. Yes, she helped him out of the Abyss, but he cannot help but slightly fear the true extent of her powers linked directly to his place of torment. 

Buck: Barik. Buck finds Barik too grumpy and rude to some of the others, especially those who weren’t of the human or dwarven species, such as the elves. Besides, Barik clearly thinks Buck’s an idiot, which does cause reasonable conflicts. 

Maeve: Lex. While the two have somewhat formed a truce and have a pretty decent relationship overall, Maeve still cannot help but harbour a fierce resentment towards Lex, as he keeps telling her how her thieving actions were wrong when it was literally the only reason she survived after being thrown out onto the streets as a child. 

Zhin: Mal’Damba. Zhin has unstable relationships with most of his fellow Paladins, but he secretly resents Mal’Damba especially for the support’s ability to invoke fear into others at will, as Zhin hates to ever feel scared in any way. 

Lex: Zhin. The guy’s literally against everything Lex stands for as a lawman. Of course he hates Zhin. 

Mal’Damba: Evie. He strongly feels that Evie has gravely disrespected the spirits by forcefully binding her soul to one. He does not bother ever showing his displeasure though, satisfied with knowing that her actions had led her to spending eternity in a weak form.

Pip: Bomb King. Pip really doesn’t like how the guy just throws his active bombs everywhere, because they could easily set off Pip’s own potions or severely damage his fur. He always feels like he’s walking around broken glass when BK is around as a result.

Grover: Drogoz and Zhin. Grover absolutely hates fire, and hates how reckless and destructive the two are with it, particularly with Zhin, who actively likes watching things burn. He’s fine with Fernando though, as the knight only ever uses his fire in a fight and still tries to be careful with it in forest areas.

Grohk: Willo. He and her might share the same love for flowers, but that’s where their similarities end. As far as Grohk is concerned, a tiny fairy with a temper tantrum wasn’t on his list of people he was interested in becoming friends with. 

Seris: Maeve. Seris generally has a very neutral relationship to everyone else, but every time she looks Maeve in the eyes…something never feels right.

Ying: Terminus. It’s less of a dislike, and more of a sense of pity and fear of said person. Ying cannot help but feel uncomfortable knowing that Terminus is essentially a reanimated, hollow body with a soul forcefully attached to it, though she still tries to be as caring and friendly to him as much as she does with everyone else. 

Jenos: Skye. Jenos thinks himself far above her annoying and persistent flirting, as well as the mocking she gives out whenever she kills him in matches. He hates how he cannot see her coming most of the time even outside matches, and her poisons were always a serious pain both literally and figuratively. 

Strix: Lian. While Strix doesn’t harbour as much resentment towards her as Viktor does, he can’t bring himself to trust her or work well with her. Kinessa as well, as he feels she abandoned him and their duties. He avoids her most of all. 

Talus: Torvald. Talus is extremely suspicious of where Torvald got the knowledge of runic magic and refuses to trust him despite Torvald’s attempts to befriend him.

Terminus: Ash. It was her fault he ended up the way he did in the first place.
