if sauron had won i bet the time of the orc wouldn’t have been so bad. like sure his lieutenants were evil but probably most orcs were just guys right. coming home to their orc wives with little surprises they picked up at the gas station for their orc kids - ThreadSky

“hey family, I’m home! looks like meat is back on the menu!” (hands out slim jims)

Playing catch with a hobbit head with their little orclings on the weekends

I feel like hobbits and orcs could be friends

Nah I'm pretty sure I'd get murdered & eaten. 🤷‍♂️ not sure in what order that happens?

If it were Skyrim orcs, that would be one thing. LotR orcs, though...

I know it's just a joke, but I will literally die if I don't say that Eru Ilúvatar didn't make the orcs and they don't have souls and are evil

It's important to remind people that under Sauron even soldiers on the most critical missions had nothing to eat but maggoty bread.

Ahem, protein-fortified bread

Given enough time does Middle Earth become scientifically advanced enough to have cars

the numenoreans canonically had airships and missiles, so yes

Slippy Seagourd I thought of you when I saw this 48oz bottle of kimchi crunch kale.

Have you read the books?

There's a really interesting and very short scene in the books where Sam overhears two Orc soldiers complaining about their jobs like a couple of normal workers.

oujii.bsky.social•2 days ago

altho in that scene frodo then rapidly disabuses sam of the notion that it makes a difference, a hallmark of Tolkien imo is that he's fundamentally sympathetic to every character, including the orcs, haradrim, saruman, even sauron

rigelr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Quite so, and also he believed to the core, correctly, that evil is miserable even for the willing participants.

I discuss this in my book, hill orc elegy

when it's been a lean Christmas and orc daughter is complaining to orc dad about how she didn't get any jewelry this yr, orc dad replies "not idly do the leaves of Lothlorien fall"

Probably similar to current events

I'm pretty sure if Sauron had won everyone would've been turned into dinosaurs

tedmccoy.bsky.social•2 days ago

maybe some of them start orc unions

vunch.bsky.social•2 days ago

Time of the orc? Sounds like happy hour to me!

There are good guys on both Orc sides - Donald told us

I'm voting for Sauron because he said he'd put meat back on the menu.

bigfatbartolocolon.bsky.social•2 days ago

sam continuously points out sauron hasn't done anything about orc egg prices

riding their Tusklas--I'm sure the accident rate wouldn't have been so high.

If orcs know what menus are, that means they have restaurants with fine dining, possibly movie theaters, lazy boy chairs, and other nice things that you don’t get to see when you’re only looking at armies. Maybe they just want to go home and chill
