SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION

"In the Glow of the Mountain" is a webcomic (+18, NSFW) set in Second Age Middle-earth. It follows the life of Graznikh, a young tribal Orc who dreams of becoming a raider and catching the most elusive prey: a real, live Elf.

Graznikh would eat. He loves food and trying something new makes him very happy.

Whindaër would go for a looong walk in the forest. No goal in sight, just exploring and maybe a nice lake or river to bathe in.
Your original character is having a self care/treat yourself day!

What are they doing?

Whin's mother Terenwen got a new portrait with updated shading b/c I had no idea what I was doing last time.

One thing I'd like but am 99% sure they won't include in TROP was if one of the other Dwarven houses was the direct cause of Celeborn's absence so he'd have an excuse other than *vague waving in the general direction of Doriath* to display his piece of shit behaviour towards them.

Hey artists! Post with your woman art!

Forget legs for days, Whindaër's mother Terenwen has hair for days instead.

Oh what the F?!
This is a sh** show! I'm all for getting kids off social media, in fact I propose anyone under 18 should be removed.

BUT not at the expense of adults' privacy and safety. And not for the purpose of censoring ADULT SPEECH.

EU’s Social Media Ban Could Bring ID Checks for Adults
The EU wants to keep children off social media, but enforcing the rules could mean adults increasingly having to prove their age or show ID online.

WIP. It's such a strange feeling, to be able to look into the eyes of a character that has lived inside your head for 20+ years but never turned out right on paper until now. Someone you know so intimately but who still has stories to tell that you've never heard.

COMIC UPDATE!

In which Graznikh plays with trees. I'm going to hate birches for the rest of my life after this.

Just... one more... *gasp* panel... left... Then the page is finished. FINALLY

Oh wait, that panel is a closeup of hands untying a knot. END MEEEE

The rest of you might be completely normal about TROP when s3 comes out.

Me on the other hand? I'm gonna eat the wallpaper. I'm gonna set my house on fire and scream belligerently into the nearest birdhouse

LRP: Yet another reason why Orcs think Elves and Men are f-ing demented.

Imagine an Elf explaining gardening an pruning to an Orc and the Orc is like "how is that ANY different from what I did to yer cousin the other week?"

Bonsais must be so unsettling from a tree’s perspective. I’m glad that body horror isn’t just for humans.

"And we hold on this Orc a beat"

Yeah I'm gonna hold onto something of his alright. And beat it too

A little of both? I'm still alive, that's both. Got a home of my own, that's an unexpected win. And I'm in pain 24/7, that's solidly in the second category
Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?

A "twinkle in his eye"? A FUCKING TWINKLE???

Mostly a combo of wet dreams and personal experience. Whin f ex is pretty much a self-insert of late-teenage me and Praktash's backstory and the way he acts when first introduced are allegories (yeah, f u Tolkien) of shit I went through and how I coped with that trauma before I knew better.
Good morning, my monsterfuckers!

Meta question today. When you create settings or characters, what do you draw on to make major decisions about settings or characters?

I draw on a lot of current events and social concepts. I am quite interested in how people in society work toward equity...

Yes! Whin calls Graz "hravanya" (lit. "my savage beast") as an ironic endearing term that in time becomes genuine. Hravan means "wild beast" or "savage" in Quenya and in Whin's community it is a derogatory euphemism for Orc b/c calling them by their true name might summon them.
Good morning, my monsterfuckers!

From @powerbop.bsky.social: Do your monster/monster adjacent characters like pet names related to the type of monster they are?

While not the same thing, Luka slings a common (in her world) pejorative at Jas once and he's mildly amused, like "How did you know?"

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

Had a steamy sex dream starring Celeborn.

Not Marnûkh. Not Glûg. Not Random Sexy Orc no. 387. A fucking ELF LORD.

This attempt upon my life has left me scarred and disfigured.
