I feel this way about belfs which is... a secret in of itself, I suppose

[pkbitchgirl]

What comics/games/shows are they from? (Especially the last one)

[(Anonymous)]

they're all art of world of warcraft orcs

[(Anonymous)]

The last one is from Skyrim. The others are from WoW.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

The bottom right one is Skyrim, the three around it are World of Warcraft. the top left is Korrah Daggerthews from Pathfinder, and the bottom left was an image search result I'm pretty sure wasn't related to WoW.

tbf orcs are pretty awesome

[(Anonymous)]

NGL, Orcs are pretty much a race of BAMFs (barring Garrosh and his ilk. Ick.)

This does remind me that model updates are happening - I hope the female orcs look awesome!

I love to engage in fantasies and pretend-play, but I will never get otherkin. I think it's possible to enjoy the concept without believing it's true.

Otherkin who really truly 'feel' phantom tails (and are not just hypnotizing themselves into feeling them) should seek help from a therapist. I don't mean to mock them. I'm seriously thinking that some of those 'otherkin' are just really sick of their (human) life and no one should have to feel this way.
I realize they are not physically harming anyone in believing they used to be fairies and unicorns in past lives, but how can you enjoy your existence like that? Always yearning to take the form of something you're not?

(Also, I have met a bunch of otherkin in the past who used to explain their state by comparing it to actual trans* people and that's just... no.)

[(Anonymous)]

If the people you knew were trying to claim that they were oppressed by comparing themselves to trans* people, I can see why you'd find that objectionable. But it sounds like you also object to explaining the concept of otherkin (someone who believes themselves to be/identifies as something other than their physical body would suggest to others) by analogizing it to being trans*?

[(Anonymous)]

Ehh, supernumerary phantom limbs are an actual medical phenomenon, entirely outside of 'being sick of human life'. I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive, but it's a brain glitch that also pops up in people who have never felt anything but human.

[feotakahari]

What if it's an otherkin who IS trans? (Strictly speaking, he* was a furry--he didn't believe that he'd ever been an animal--but he said the phantom feeling of the tail and the phantom feeling of the, er, not-a-tail were similar.)

*FTM

[(Anonymous)]

I get that otherkin comparing themselves to transgender is bad and appropriative, but I can see why they'd feel the need to, given the massive amount of hate they get. "Yiff in hell, furfag!" is one of the few points of agreement between 4chan trolls and SJWs. I've never really understood the furry hate, and in my experience, shitting on them for appropriating trans* issues has always seemed like a justification for already disliking them rather than an actual objection. And no, I'm not otherkin.

[(Anonymous)]

Otherkin who really truly 'feel' phantom tails (and are not just hypnotizing themselves into feeling them) should seek help from a therapist.

There hasn't been a day in my life that I've considered myself anything other than human, but I still feel phantom limbs on the days my sensory receptors decide they want to do cartwheels. It's not an indication that they require therapy, it's just mild neurological wackiness.

[elaminator]

That first piece of WoW art is gorgeous. I also really like the Skyrim Orc lady; she looks badass. (I need to play a more 'exotic' Skyrim race, but first I need to beat the game with my FIRST character...)

Secret 7 - Orcs, otherkin

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is various paintings and images of Orc characters from the videogames "World of Warcraft" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim". They're all humanoid creatures with green or yellowish green skin and often dark hair. Many of them are wearing armor and looking fierce. It seems they are all female.]

I feel such attachment to orcs that I think I'm starting to understand how people who believe in the concept of otherkin exist.

[(Anonymous)]

Mmmm female orcs...

[(Anonymous)]

Indeed. Cute little orc tusks poking out. Mmmmm.

[(Anonymous)]

Orcs tho? Idgi. Respect and all, but whyyy.

Then again, I'm just a boring elf otherkin. Just kidding. Except in my heart. :( /forever elven princess

[feotakahari]

Not OP, but my thoughts on orcs:

Orcs think of the group. They claim land and resources not for themselves, but for the benefit of the tribe. (Some stories have greedy orcs, but that's not all that common.)

Orcs are tenacious. They keep fighting against the hero even when he's clearly going to defeat them.

Orcs are loyal. They may fight for dominance, but in very few stories do they ever betray each other.

It's true that orcs aren't very smart, but when was the last time you saw an elf be smart? All they do is talk about how smart they are. It's true that orcs aren't compassionate outside the tribe, but when was the last time you saw an elf show compassion? All they do is talk about how compassionate they are. Orcs don't talk much, which in and of itself puts them miles ahead of elves.

(Also, since a lot of bad stories use orcish tribesmen in exactly the same way old stories used African tribesmen, there are a fair number of black people who've tried to "reclaim" orcs as a positive symbol of the black community. I agree with N.K. Jemisin that such isn't possible at this stage, but I can't fault them for trying.)

[rbhudson]

That's so cool! I couldn't get anyone to play anything orc or giant-related in my D&D campaign :(

[leikomgwtfbbq]

This secret could use moar dakka.

[world_eater]

All Orks is equal, but some Orks are more equal dan uvvas.

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]
