#kotlc ogres

[marshmallowfathdon]

Thought of the day: You can't tell me Sophie hasn't watched Shrek and thought that was what ogres looked like when she first heard about them.

ogres are all aromantic. after all, it's aromark not allomark

[brontekotlcyan]

Do you know what design I reallyyy don't like from the kotlc official art?

Don't get me wrong I love most of it but the ogres look so wrong 😭😭😭 Why are they so top heavy? Why are the clothes so revealing?

I mean I don't want to see all that 😭 Specifically the men. The face and skin is pretty good but the bodies are sooo hard to imagine in a battle or talking with elves. Also how do they put their clothes on if they're metal? Wait are they metal? I can't remember.

Not to be rude but yeah.

reminder that grusom-daj is the thing where ogres send out a high pitched frequency that makes every elf but sophie collapse, but i don’t think we’ve seen how grusom-daj works on other species, much less a gorgodon

Issue Three: Elves

The immortality of elves has always bothered me. How do they keep the population at a sustainable level? Wouldn't time be meaningless? But, more importantly for KotLC: Why do they look like humans if none of the other species do? I mean ogres, gnomes, and some if the trolls, kind of. But dwarves sure as hell don't. Why do elves look exactly like humans? If you're saying plot convenience, that's probably the answer. Even so, I have a solution: You know how trolls go through stages? What if elves did that, too? The younger ones can look like humans, and the older ones can look different, and the Anchients can look even more different. Problem solved.

I need need neeeed Sophie to have some fight with the Neverseen where she just lets go

absolutely no fear she just puts all the skills she already has to use and fucking destroys like 5 members on her own

[sillyguy-supreme]

ogre military and nobility families must be fucking awful if they decide the next heir through a fight to the death. they must be trying to take each other out CONSTANTLY to eliminate some of the competition early. imagine needing to ask your uncle grug about college or something but you can’t because his sister gangrenette poisoned him last week. i think i’d kill someone and thus prolong this terrible family dynamic.

All's Fair in Love and War - Keefitz (Angst)

It was dark but it wasn't yet night. Smoke clogged the air and my throat, and fires erupted a few miles away. The once-green grass was a dead brown, sucked from its home in the soil.

Burly creatures with muscles and vengeance in their veins charged with spears and swords. They were monstrous, a sight that would find itself in a nightmare, but now they were here. They were here for me.

It was an accident, how the world went from colossal castles to the crumbling debris before me. The remnants of the buildings mocked me, glinting in the fire, sparkling like they were the same tall, beautiful structures they were before. But they weren't.

I stood up, my limbs aching and my head pounding. It was hard to breathe, hard to see in all the smoke. It enveloped me like an insult and hung over me. I stared down into the expanse, searching for a pair of ice-blue eyes, bright like the eye of a storm. All I could see was fighting, and bones in a heap on the ground.

I don't know how they hadn't caught me yet. I was in a suit, well ironed with a red tie, with blood now spilt over me. My sunglasses had fallen to the ground somewhere. It was too dark, too smoky so that I couldn't see.

Blue eyes caught with my teal ones. But it wasn't the regular Keefe blue that I loved so much. No, this was the ugliest blue ever, the most piercing kind that I felt a million knives stabbing me as I looked into them. It belonged to an ogre.

The crazed creature charged at me, spear in hand and murder in their eyes. I yelled, ducking out of the way, the spear missing me by mere inches. I shivered. I picked up a broken stick from the ground, holding it high as a weapon. That sounds pretty lame, but it was a cool stick, and I was out of options.

The ogre howled, angry that I was still alive, and threw their spear at me. I didn't dodge it this time. No, instead I hit it back with my stick. The ogre looked like they were ready to pounce. But instead, they turned away and ran at something else. I was relieved, my blood finally returning to my cheeks, but then all signs of hope disappeared.

Keefe Sencen, writhing on the ground, surrounded by fire, and a bloodthirsty ogre after his guts. I screamed so loudly my vocal cords could've passed away. I ran to him, summoning my love for him to carry me forward. I landed right in front of him, but it was a moment too late. The spear had pierced his skin.

Blood drenched the dead grass, sinking into the soil. Keefe screeched, breathing hard now that his guts were spilling out. The colour was fading from his cheeks, and his ice-blue eyes were losing their life. I ripped the suit coat off my back and tried to dab away the blood, but more just kept coming. I wanted to take out the spear, in case he got infected, but I did, he'd bleed to death, and there is nothing more terrifying to me than losing Keefe Sencen.

"Just hold on, okay?" I whispered, tears blurring my vision. "Things will work out. Somehow, they always work out."

"Fitz," Keefe croaked out, and it was terrifying, hearing his voice leave him, "I think this time, we're out of luck."

"No!" I yelled. "How can you say that? What about everything we've been through? What about us?" I choked out the last words because the thought of Keefe leaving me alone here was enough for me to throw myself into the fires. The best moments of my life flashed in my head. Keefe and I trying ice cream. Keefe and I cuddling. Keefe and I crying. Keefe and I. That's what it has always been.

And now Keefe's bloody form threatened to strip away the last sliver of sanity I had. I thought I had it so nice because when everything fell apart, they fell back together. That's what Keefe and I were. Falling apart, and falling back together.

But that magnetic reassurance was gone now. All that was there was the cold, harsh reality and warm blood spilling onto me.

"Fitz," Keefe said, tearing up. He reached and grabbed my hand, a gesture too much for him in his state. "I know things don't look too good right now, but please, Fitz, I'm not going to be alive tomorrow, let alone for the next fifteen minutes." I choked at that. He continued. "You have a life, Fitz. You had one before me and you'll have one after. It won't be the same, but please, please, please don't throw it away."

"What don't you understand, Keefe? You are my life!" I screamed. Keefe's eyes widened at that, and a soft smile settled on his face.

"Thank you," Keefe whispered. "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm going to miss you so much."

Keefe's breaths were no longer shallow. They were no longer there. The pain left his body, carrying his life force with him. Keefe Sencen was dead.

I screamed so loudly all of the Forbidden Cities must have heard me. Not that there was any of it left. Keefe's blood was on my shirt, his corpse in my hands, and my heart in the grave.

The fires licked at the ground close to me, brightening my path to my inevitable death. I shivered, crawling so I was lying next to Keefe, and I placed a tentative kiss on his cold lips. The fires came close, but I did not resist them. I didn't even ask for help.

It was bright, though it was now night. I stared at the cruel stars, and the cruel world and pondered my cruel fate. I whispered, voice hushed. "We're in this together." As I allowed the flames to swallow Keefe and I whole.

aodsufhui;hfsd that's the Keefitz oneshot haha. Here at last. I kinda like actually which is strange because I wrote it in such a rush.

@thesfromhms this one's for you

[cavennmalore]

Do you ever feel guilty about the fact that you put what was basically a torture device on a 13 y/o’s head? Like you do realize that her self worth is primarily tied to her abilities and taking them away sent her into a spiral, right?

Um... we don't speak about that. 🤫🤫

...

And she shouldn't of read the Ogre King's mind.
