WAR MACHINE.

people getting mad that rings of power depicts that orcs have families when azog canonically has a son sure is interesting huh. also kinda 😬 that people are so quick to get mad that the slave race is depicted as having positive bonds with others.

also this probably doesnt matter to anyone other than me , but azog doesn't have an internal monologue. he thinks in like ???? concepts. it's super rare that he has an internal voice.

az basically NEVER initiates conversation. he rarely talks unless he has anything worth saying ... that's not to mean he's not listening or is uninterested in what your muse has to say.

patiently he waits as @wornkindness weaves ; though head tilts curiously , watching the woman's much more nimble fingers work stems of ( what he's learned are called flowers , ) together. it's become something of a ritual for the two ― the orc king presents the princess with something that glitters , procured from the keep of his mountain home [ of what value is it to something like him ? ] , && in exchange she crowns him with something far too gentle to be adorning his scarred flesh.

i think it's genuinely so funny that azog has a hard time understanding the concept of heterosexuals

@oakenbranch doesn't move either. && perhaps that bothers azog more than anything. do something , say something , anything. it culminates in the two simply exchanging harsh looks ; the understanding that this time wont be like the last ( it can't. ) a heavily toothed maw cracks open && the orc lets out a deep , frustrated growl ― his brow furrowed && expression ... conflicted.
