Enemies to friends (maybe lovers?) with furry puppets. It will leave you smiling and with a feeling of WTF?š
It also tells a really intelligent story and is narrated by its creator.
WARCRAFT (2016)
This movie features a lot of orcs. Big orcs, small orcs, girl orcs, boy orcs, baby orcs, honorable orcs, bad orcs, magical orcs, sexy orcs, family raising orcs, interspecies romance orcs, ā¦..many orcs. Iām just posting this in case any orc lovers out there werenāt aware this movie existed. š
I finished readingĀ The Sorceressās Orc and I loved it! I didnāt expect some things in this book, especially not being it a fucking terato love story, I had a filthy grin on my face while reading some parts. I mean, I though the book just featured orcs, but along the way I was likeĀ āHold on, wtf, itās like every orc story on Tumblr Iāve read so far!!ā (maybe not as NSFW but itās not for minors as well ;D)
āAt the beginning of the story, Vervain, Mistress of the Magical Sciences, is assigned an orc bodyguard, Riyu. She is less than happy that this is considered necessary, but soon finds out that the prejudices she had about orcs are not true, and Riyu is actually rather pleasant company. When the university where she teaches is attacked, she saves the live of her students, and is in turn saved by Riyu. When it is found that one of Vervainās colleagues has gone missing, she insists to go on a mission to find him.
ā
The orcs in the book are awesome, they have very expressive, long and pointy ears, an honour codex, green skin and the main orc character, Riyu, is just so awesome, a fierce warrior, huuuuge, but so gentle and caring towards the main character, Vervain.
Although I recommended the book (because I knew it featured Orcs) I haven’t actually read it yet. Well, after this review it certainly moved up on my long list of books to read.š
I remember I found this book while I was looking for fantasy and science fiction books that feature a strong romantic element, a heroine that doesn’t conform to established beauty standards (this one’s a bit older than the usual fantasy heroine) AND possibly an interspecies relationship.
…..yes, I’m picky and finding stuff that caters to my tastes is not easy.š
Ugh still thinking about this beautiful movie ⤠Thank you Guillermo Del Toro ⤠I havenāt been painterly in a long while. Too busy with work and such but took some time aside to get back into it! IĀ have several unfinished thumbs, will post them to patreon and hopefully finish one day- but in the meantime- enjoy ā¤Ā -COEY! ___ Prints:Ā https://www.etsy.com/listing/586435663
Many thanks to @fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villains for finding a book that features Orcs and recommending it to me :)) The original title isĀ The Sorceressās Orc and what Iāve read so far was really good xD
Beauty has never liked her nickname. She is thin and awkward; it is her two sisters who are the beautiful ones. But what she lacks in looks, she can perhaps make up for in courage.
When her father comes home with the tale of an enchanted castle in the forest and the terrible promise he had to make to the Beast who lives there, Beauty knows she must go to the castle, a prisoner of her own free will. Her father protests that he will not let her go, but she answers, āCannot a Beast be tamed?ā
Robin McKinleyās beloved telling illuminates the unusual love story of a most unlikely couple, Beauty and the Beast.
