Ok, first of all, I know this is coming like 2 months later, but I guess is better late than never, right?
1.- Please, read till the end, as I'm not trying to make a mockery out of your liking blizzard, warcraft, thelore or whatever.
2.- Most of what Iâll explain here, is to help you notice that the problem is how the writers and âcreatorsâ in Blizzard drive their characters into a corner most of the time, but only because they work too little on them.
3.- Let me just point a couple of things and think about it for a while, also, considering that what Iâm going to talk about (Warhammer) is âsomewhat obscureâ, not because people donât know, but because itâs so massive in comparison that it would take a long, long time for others that are not too into it to know even half of the lore, and the fact that â it became popularâ because an Actor (Henry Cavill) talked about it, doesnât really take effect on the fans of blizzard, because as far as Iâm concerned (talked with many during many years) they usually live in a bubble that makes them believe that everything copies from warcraft/starcraft but not the other way around.
>it shows how out of ideas Blizzard is at this point
For that statement to work, Blizzard would need to have ideas of their own to begin with and those ideas shouldnât be just blatant ripoffs. And that is probably the issue that 90% of the fans ignore; when talking about the lore, characterâs designs and everything else, Blizzard mainly copied stuff from other places. It is a well known fact that people will take inspiration from different books, movies, etc. to work on âtheir own worldâ while âcreatingâ stuff, and nowadays we can argue that ânothing is originalâ, but Iâm not trying to point the lack of originality as a sin, but rather as the problem. Warcraft and Starcraft were both created in the 90s ripping off a tabletop game that at its own core had been inspired by some âEurope loreâ from real life mixed with The Lord of the Rings, Warhammer was created in the 80s but Games Workshop as a whole is pal/bro with D&D creators, they reached some agreements during the last years of the 70s, and pretty much RTS would have been different if not for Warhammer revolutioning the concept of the game, and making it a lot more playable and comprehensible back then.
In the early 90s Blizzard was trying to make warhammerâs pc game (there was another company that was already on it) and nobody but them knows what exactly happened, some people (Wyatt) from blizzard said that they wanted to have their own ip for example, but then why did they just copied others ip so much to make âtheir ownâ? and even worse, they continued to constantly copy ideas from said IP. Games workshop is also blamed for not wanting them to mess up with their IP... but letâs get back to the point.
>the best written and most popular character Blizzard ever made.
Why did I mention the whole ripoff thing? Because it comes to play right here in this âbest written characterâ part, Arthas is perhaps one of the least original characters they have in their whole âloreâ, he is a complete mishmash of three characters from Warhammer:
Aenarion, High Elf Prince who became Phoenix King, he was the model for Arthasâ background, sacrifice, and devotion to his people, while at the same time, being the âdamnationâ for his hate.
Azhagh the Slaughterer, an orc warlord that was possessed by a crown that had inside the malign spirit of a human warlock and necromancer, just reading that should be painful for any fan of arthas, who happens to be the same thing but opposite races, as you surely know, Arthas is a human possessed by the spirit of an orc warlock, so obviously, Azhagh was the model for his âfallâ rather than just being cursed to death he was cursed to become the body of a powerful necromancer that was trying to reach eternal life and one way was âturning lichâ.
and
Archaon the Everchosen of Chaos, who would be the base they took to make the Lich King âmore evilâ as he was looking to destroy all life just because he wanted to and funny enough, was aiming to âserveâ an out of the world lord/lords, FFS even the burning legion is just a ripoff of the Chaos Daemons.
You could argue that âthis are just coincidencesâ or that âthey donât even look like itâ but there are many things that just continuously jump to the face when you look into this characters, Frostmure was clearly traced on from Archaonâs, or take this other one Archaonâs helmet is named âThe Crown of Dominationâ What did they called the lich kingâs helm? oh yeah! âThe Helm of Dominationâ. Even back in the story Aenarion took some drastic decisions when trying to defend his people from Chaos (again, burning legion) and his best friend tried to make him see that some extremes were not ok, whatâs worse is that the moment Aenarion takes the sword he condems his own soul and his kingdom to the rage of Khaine.
>Blizzard had a shot to explore and continue the best story they EVER told⊠And they instead pissed it away to focus on a character they ran into the ground long before Shadowlands were even announced.
And yes, thatâs true, but as you can see, the problem is not that they canât think about it, when they decided to kill Arthas Iâm sure they did because they didnât know what to do with the character, Thrall was always a gary stu and that was because one of the creators turned him into his self-insert which at th same time is a reason why they didnât just drop the character for so long. Even Sylvannas can be traced back to Warhammer, in the old, old lore there used to be a wood elf that had been fighting corruption and tried to defend her people, was killed by vampire countâs zombies and she turned into a banshee, do you know where she died? In the forest that connected with the town Sylvannar. I remember once some fans tried to say Arthas was inspired in Arthur from British stories, but I guess itâs over the nose to say they have no similarity at all, which is different to what Iâve explained here.
sylvanas âim gonna take this brief emotional moment away from your former mentor and former lover who are both standing right here and make it all about me insteadâ windrunner
sylvanas âyouâre a bad person arthas (nevermind that iâm arguably much worse) i hope youâre forgotten >:(â windrunner
sylvanas âi will accept my judgement and definitely not be framed as a tragic martyr for facing consequences winkâ windrunner

Hello there, I noticed your total miss in tumblr, did you move to another site?
Probably you won't even answer this... But anyway, what are your thoughts about svtfoe after 2 years? I'm asking you because you threw shit in the show since S3 and despite I liked the show, you were in the right.
I've been reading some starco fans that try at all costs to depict the show as good, but in the long run, they don't even convince me, I know the show has a good handful of mistakes. That's why.... I would like to know your opinion only if you can. Thanks
Hello.... Sorry, Iâm answering months later, I know I've been gone from tumblr for a long time, my last activity here was sharing stuff to a guy who I follow for a fanfic xD
I moved on from the show, now I follow amphibia, so much better without the shipping shit, svtfoe was bad and itâs better to let it die forgotten as it is while we wait for a reboot that fixes the âmovieâ and onwards from that point (like avoid forcing marco in mewni with no good reason, or not make others retarded so that star can âshineâ as the MC), and also I moved out to twitter (just search for me and you will find me there), but even there my activity has fallen for some reasons:
1. The most important: I'm working now, I mean like real life work, sadly I'm not that lucky that my edits get me food in the table like many other artists out there, not enough, so.... yeah. I have to work full time, and sometimes we get overtime (I'm in a comitee with JICA in my country).
2. 280 characters in twitter is too low for making any kind of explanation, rant and whatnot, that makes it hard for me to make anything like that in twitter, also they are even more crystal-like than here. I mean, they actually make a tantrum and twitter silences you for debating.... this will be a long explanation, but to clarify:
>Some starcofag-kid from here (I know his account from tumblr, he made the exact same one in twitter) came to twitter only to throw shit at anyone who badmouths starco and svtfoe, I got in the middle of it because he specifically came to molest me in a tweet and he tempted me to insult his intelligence; Yes, he had some really retarded "arguments" to say he was in the right, and since he couldn't actually argue anything he changed his perspective and tried to get me banned for a drawing, I got a 12 hours forced-silence because of all that shit....
>I got curious of why or how he got this "preference" of a mute going on so fast (I mean I got muted by twitter in a matter of 1 hour), after making a quick search in his account , he had 2 other accounts which specifically liked any comment he did anywhere. I kept an online eye on his IP activity (watch the first account IP and watch the other 2 accounts when they go online), since he was still trying to molest other people in tweets it was easy and fast..... unsurprisingly these 2 accounts had the exact same IP address than his main account, which means he was changing accounts to his other 2 fake accounts to like whatever his main account said and to report anyone who actually beats him in a debate about the show.
I hope my point is clear... I wouldn't be able to explain anything in twitter because of that dumb "280 characters max" shit. So, I might do it here.
3. I gave my point of view in a facebook page after the show was over, but I waited for some months before doing so, you know... to gave some time for dust to settle and so that people can actually think about the show and argue, funny enough thanks to that I found out that barely 1% of the audience actually liked and still likes the show. The vast majority of the audience has enough brain and common sense to see the show for what it is (a failure) and not try to cope and seethe in hopes to find a good thing about it to use as their flag in their "the show was good" campaign.
But yeah... I have things to say about the shitshow that svtfoe was, and how shipping and the endgame were so lame that the audience, disney, and daron herself don't want to touch it again, not even with a 12 feet stick.... if you can give me some time, like a couple of days, since I'll make some research in my computer and put all the stuff together in a document, and then when it's done, post it here with images :3
Remember the only good time in the show was when star was depicted suffering, like the piece of shit she was, while Marco was happy with Jackie and Hekapoo, and the show itself is proof that starco was and is a mistake

Oh Emperor, yeah this is actually a thing, I may be an Ork player, but if I hate one thing is those idiots trying to focus their âjokeâ about the Wolves being furries when there is nothing to sustain that point of view, or the fact that canonically Magnus stated that he was wrong on EVERYTHING.

Hey, there is anyone reason for you to hate starco? I see most of your posts is hate to them. I dont like the end but not hate them like you.
Ok I can understand your question, fortunately English is not my native language either... so I can more or less piece together what you are asking and what is it that you wanna know.
Asnwering: Yes, there are some good reasons why I hate starco, itâs mainly due to star being in that shipping formula, I donât like her at all, I doubt Iâll ever find her of my liking as I rarely had the guts to watch her when the show was rather ânewâ and I tried to watch it (it was already in itâs second season).
To make a long story short, I found many of the other female characters in the show a lot more attractive, interesting, funny, etc. star was just a bad joke, an attempt from the author to make a disgusting brat to feel or sound âfunnyâ or be acceptable if you prefer, but the more I read about the show through scripts, the more I disliked her... yeah I didnât like her so much that at the time I had only watched 2 or 3 incomplete episodes and the rest was through script, which was an interesting view, for example I NEVER felt any relationship arising between Marco and star when reading, something odd cause if anything, reading should be the most important part for you to feel their love, the best ships usually grow from reading material, and they lacked a lot, for example, Harry potter, do you think the ship between Harry and Hermione was something created because of the movies? Nah, the books themselves had this feeling in some of the moments in which both characters were getting so close and had this chemistry between them that you wondered if they were going to be a couple at certain points.
Anyway, I hope my answer is good enough for the question.

Could you do Hekapoo lying down in bed on her long loose floor length hair? When she lies down, her hair is longer than her height.
Sorry about the delay, I was busy with RL stuff, besides... this is pretty much the first âofficialâ time I answer one of these questions with a picture in it.
Iâll consider doing some silly edits like this when people suggest... but donât expect anything big, Iâm a terrible editor, not an artist, I wonât consider myself an artist probably never because I do these edits when I have some time from my actual job and my skill is so bad... well you can see my other works, I still do my best though, so donât expect me to do master-pieces.

âWhy is his mom in it? Oh no! How terrible!â
First of all, The main reason for her to be there is: Star is such a horrible character and I despise her so deep that almost every single one of the women in the show are a better option, thatâs my opinion.
Secondly, because âFierroâ joke (USA people call it âsouthern peopleâ), thatâs why.
Third, remember that time when season 2 was new? When the rumours of Marco/Angie âbeing lost Butterfly membersâ where fresh? Remember when people began theorizing about Marco being starâs relative? (I do and remember even a âtheoryâ about him being a âbrotherâ for some reason). Now letâs move to another point in time, remember when season 3 had him use the magic wand and show for a moment moon marks on his cheeks and it was suddenly âconfirmedâ and there were people here and there âexplainingâ that Marco was a Butterfly and then everyone was ok with him being âstarâs close relativeâ and continued having tons of NSFW art and also soft âkinkyâ pics of him with star?
Remember when noone could tell if that crazy theory was true or not (specially after Daron placed in a close point of time to those theories a screenshot that included Marco and Eclipsa doing the âkarate standâ with a âthat special auntâ message in it and increasing the theories even more?) and that even with Marco and star having this apparent enormous possibility of them being blood relatives hundreds of fans still shipped them to the point of imaging their babies? Just let it be, is a simple SFW edit and thatâs it, enjoy the Cuckstar, think about how ruined poor Marco is with that damn star and how happy he was going to be with the end being âthe Battle for Mewniâ.
It has been quite sometime since I uploaded something related to Marcoâs Harem and the Cuckery of star butterfly. I come today with another one of these Silly Edits that had become my favorite thing to do!
Iâm also aware that someone asked for something, to that Anon, donât worry an edit is on the way related to that Heka you asked for.
