I saw the last post, so more in depth questions about your characters 🤩
Is Remy connected with orc culture? does he still speak the language or feel connected to the orc tribe? Ollie seems very connected to his roots, but not so much Remy. He grew up in the same tribe as Ollie, and Ollie seems to miss his tribe and still speak the language, but they had very different experiences. By the way you answered the last ask the orc tribe was kind of traumatizing to Remy
YEEHAW Remy is nooot connected with his orc roots in fact he'd rather just convince himself it was all a bad dream which is why Ollie may speak orcish whether by accident or instinctively when he's talking to Remy (im sure Kari hears sum orcish curse words slip out in the bedroom lmfao) but that will be the only time Remy will speak orcish is in response otherwise he'll just speak english (or whatever language they speak in that world?? could be something else entirely not of this world??)(and ANOTHER side note: typically when Ollie is speaking orcish in the comic it's in a black speech bubble but that's not rlly important until much later) and tbh maybe Ollie even has a slight accent from speaking orcish all of his childhood but Remy didn't talk much at all when he was in the orc community. The way it was b4 that orc tyrant took over was full-blooded orcs would fight in battles and get different ranks and be on leadership boards ect. while half orcs could make weapons and hunt ect. but they weren't allowed to fight in any battles or be in any position of leadership, they could even have lil coming of age events hence where Ollie got his bone necklace from was basically a "ur not a wee babby time to kill a big horrible beast by urself and harvest anything for a trophy" thing and he chose the teeth (its still goretober so im showin these off lmfao):

while the members of the community who had even less orc blood in them aka Remy being only like 25% orc bc his momma is a half orc and his dad is ssssomething else entirely??, they were only allowed to do farm work, harvesting crops, tending to animals getting supplies ect. sO that left Remy to tend to the chickens bc that's what he liked. Ollie didn't quite understand the restrictions when he was little so he'd sometimes take Remy hunting with him which never really ended well bc Remy was a tender lil soul and had a hard time killing things. That's another reason why Remy never really fit into the tribe bc all the hunting and brutally killing and eating an elf raw or even another orc was too much for him and he never wanted to be a part of it. anoTHER reason is Remy's mom wasn't reeally the best mom so she'd kinda just leave Remy in the chicken coop all day without checking on him so Remy was genuinely just alone with some chickens unless Ollie came to "pester" him or Ollie's momma made him bring Remy along bc even Mogak got more concerned abt Remy's wellbeing than his own mother. It was Super hard for him when butchering day came and they'd come in and take a bunch of chickens and Remy just had to let it happen so after finding Remy curled up in a lil ball with big teary eyes holding chicken feathers, Ollie started to keep track of when butchering day was and would trick Remy out to go on 🌄an exploring adventure🌄 before they came to get the chickens so he didn't have to witness all that. After Ollie built a lil makeshift skatepark in a cool secret spot he found he would take Remy there too so that allowed Remy a little more to do and some enrichment for him so thats how they both got into skateboarding but yeah even after all the Trauma happened Ollie did still have rose tinted glasses on for the orc community but Remy definitely gets a bad taste in his mouth over it hence this section:
