VOLJIN WAS MADE CHIEFTAIN AT 16 WHATTFFF ???????????

I MEAN LIKE. REASONABLY. This is definitely just headcanon, others could have different ideas, and there’s really not a ton to go on considering how bad Blizzard is about sharing the smaller info about lore. 

Considering what Vol’jin says about people entering First Home, I think that the trial is something that can be attempted by anybody - the deciding factor on whether they come out of it alive is up to the loa. Hence Vol’jins musings about Shadow Hunters vs Fools.

However, I could see it being the type of thing where there’s sort of unspoken rules. I’d figure it’d be forbidden for anyone below a certain age to even attempt to enter, but I don’t think that age would be especially high. Probably around the 18 to 21 age range. I say this because trolls seem to age more similar to humans than to elves, so I figure what they consider child/teen/adult would be along the same line.

And like the post said! It’s expressed a lot in The Judgement that Vol’jin is too young to be taking this trial, and heavily implies he’s much too young. He certainly acts a lot like a tween/teenager in the trial, especially when interacting with Zalazane.

I just think it makes Vol’jin all the more interesting to be a young leader. 😊 Adds another layer to his character. Him and Baine are the two baby leaders, essentially!

suh

suh!

ok but im super curious about like Most of those fics i dont know where to start 👀👀 what are those "Yr" fics w/ the singular names about?? also 👉👈 could we get just a Crumb of th bwon/voljin fic i remember you talking about it before

sdhjgfjh I’mma be real with you, they’re a meme taken Too Far. I have this Problem of shipping Vol’jin with everyone because fuck it, I can, nothing can stop me, it’s my comfort character I do what I want. And there was these three consecutive days where I was in full Vol’jin simping mode and I was in the DM’s of one very patient friend, and I basically outlined three different fics on the spot. One with Vol’jin/Baine, one with Vol’jin/Thrall, then one with Vol’jin/Lor’themar, and then by that point we were joking that he was like halfway through all the leaders of the Horde, why stop there? It was all super funny until I legitimately got ideas for Gazlowe and Sylvanas because of course I fucking did. So it became an Actual Thing that I’m determined to finish just for the pure meme of it, and to say that I did because fuck it. they’re labeled as 1YR because the running joke was “vol’jin was warchief for one slutty, slutty year” lol

as for the Bwonsamdi/Vol’jin fic 😳 I haven’t opened that one in a hot second I don’t know if any of it is like. Postable levels of written yet lol. my drafting process is all over the place unfortunately klhkjh especially bc that fic is more of a character exploration fic than one with any sort of fuckin plot bc I have a problem of writing “fic” that's basically just Characters Having Feelings A Lot dfkjghfkjd

Would you ever write any wild fic crossover? Like, I don't know, World of Warcraft meets Gravity Falls or Bloodborne/Team Fortress!AU?

hmmm! Well, honestly, for a while there, I DID have a Bloodborne/Gravity Falls crossover idea, AND a Gravity Falls/Subnautica crossover idea. But both of them were just the kind of ideas where I was like “oh this would be neat” rather than “oh my gosh I need to write this”

so like, in theory, I do like and appreciate crossover ideas, but I’m not HUGE on them in fic! so probably not rip 😔

hey,you still have that stan's tattoo ?

agsdhsaj anon i really do not mean to be rude but... it’s a tattoo where would it go

Okay, so, since I have no life - I've leveled my main and several alts in wow: shadowlands to try out each of the covenants and complete their campaigns. I was curious if you have a fave covenant in shadowlands. I tend to lean towards bastion, but being a venthyr also has it perks. Just curious if you're got one that calls to you

I’ve really not had much time or motivation to level through SL just yet BUT! I have been watching a lot of videos of the questlines and things bc of course I have so I know the general story of them all

here I’ll rank them by favorite to least favorite, but this IS completely story/aesthetic-wise and not gameplay-wise since I’ve not gotten to it yet XD

Ardenweald - bc I'm a sucker for all things fairy and faun and shit and also Vol’jin and Bwonsamdi and the other Loa are there so of fuckin course I love it

Maldraxxus - bc deaders are fucking COOL and I love me some BONES N GUTS N DEAD THINGS so HELL FUCKIN YEAH

Revendreth - love the kind of general aesthetic of it all? i suppose? and the vibes? but idk I just Can’t get behind vampires of any kind. i really don’t know why they just. bore me. for some reason. like REASONABLY i should like them but vampires just make me go “meh. alright”. so like. vampire aesthetics YES, vampires NO dsljfghkjs

Bastion - too bright and I don’t like how they handled the story and there’s just a lot of things about it that make me... uncomfortable

hey cheezi i got a Question: do you write out "fall in line queue" Every time you put a post into the queue or is there like an automatic thing that tags it for you?

i do not write it out every time I use an addon called new xkit! if you search it on Tumblr you will find the blog and you can download the addon, I believe for Firefox and Chrome! its super helpful for a ton of stuff :D I use the extension called the “Auto Tagger” but they have other super helpful little features too <3

keep in mind some of them are a little outdated/broken, new xkit is a small team who like- had to save the original XKIT because it used to be an addon made by one singular dude but then Tumblr bullied him off of the site for some godforsaken reason so a bunch of amateur coders had to swoop in and save the day. but that means a few of the features just plain don't work anymore, but the ones that ARE functional are GREAT XD

Tyrajin headcanon: Tyrathan kept his hair shorter for most of his life, then it grew out a little in Pandaria and he refuses to cut it short again. Vol'jin loves playing with his hair and that's always a bonus ^^

🥺🥺🥺!!! oh my goodness yes. a new part of his identity I like it... and Vol’jin liking to play with it is so good 😭

cheezi you are 100% right for saying its Sexy of trolls to be 9 ft tall.

CORRECT this is bc i have never said anything wrong in my life. trolls big sexy and that's what I appreciates about them

Pro-tip for your shot: as soon as you can, drink something with a decent amount of caffeine but minimal sugar (so like plain coffee or tea) and then immediately lie down for a nap. That seemed to help me recalibrate a lot faster than my roommate, at least.

GDJHASGJHHJG oh my goodness. for right NOW, I am doing alright - I had my shot at 11 this morning, its now 2, and I’ve had some Protein and A Lot of Water and am making sure to rest. not feeling any symptoms yet at all other than a sort of pain right where I got stabbed. thank you anon!!!

holy shite can we get vol'jin's grandma lore???????

AJDKJKHKDJS alright but I just woke up so coherency is 50/50. it was basically on a night I got sauced as hell and was sick of all the WoW characters never having named mothers or always having dead mothers that only get a name retrospectively because blizzard finally remembers women and mothers exist and hey maybe we should give them a name (listen I’ll always be angry about WoW’s sexism lmfao)

her name is Eza, she’s a very very old retired shadow hunter and is the mother of Vilja (Vol’jins mom oc who isn’t as fleshed out as Eza is yet haha)

She’s a very wise, caring, and generous woman, but is very abrasive and kinda intimidating. She was a hella powerful shadow hunter, and still is though she’s retired, and in general is very likely to bop you on the head with whatever she’s currently holding when you’re late or you don’t visit often enough. And though she has wisdom and advice aplenty it’s likely to be shouted at you rather than calmly explained because she’s got no patience, though it’s all from the good of her heart lol

She’s become the pseudo grandma of a lot of the trolls in the village, and even a parental figure to the older trolls in the village - she’s about 150 so she’s seen a lot of these trolls age all the way from childhood into having kids of their own. The majority of the village refers to her as Great Grandma.

Also, a quick aside - I have some headcanons regarding troll tusks. I think that they go through three sets of tusks through their life - childhood tusks, teenage tusks, and then their adult ones come in. Yes this does mean teenage trolls, instead of having the awkward acne puberty phase, instead have their tuskless phase - though it is celebrated by the adults as like the ultimate Coming Of Age Sign. And there are traditions surrounding the tusks, and who they go to once they fall out. The childhood/baby tusks get passed off to the grandparents, one to each of them - because the tusks pretty reliably fall off within hours or days of each other - and its customary for the kid themselves to be the ones to hand it off to the grandparents. Then, the teen years tusks go to the parents themselves. Parents very commonly use these tusks as household decorations or jewelry. 

Then, in the case of there being a death in the family, the tusks would be passed on to other living members. I.E. if the grandparent were to pass on, then the baby tusks passed down to the parent, vice versa. Or, if the tusks fell off and you didn’t have a grandparent to begin with... it’d just go to the person who fit that role the best. You see where I’m going with this lol

Eza’s got a FUCK ton of tusks from pretty much the whole village, both baby and teen ones. Her house and jewelry look like a horror show to any outsiders including Zandalari or other trolls types because the tusk heirlooms are a more Stranglethorn Jungle Troll type tradition, and the Darkspear take it a tiny bit farther than those ones even. Gurubashi also pass their tusks on to their family units but they’re usually kept in boxes and safe, not worn hanging from the ear lol. But, to a Darkspear, walking into Eza’s hut and seeing all the tusks from your tribe lovingly decorated and hung is very comforting because it just screams Home. like this is a woman that is loved and respected by so many and can be trusted with anything because how else does she have the whole tribes baby teeth lmfao.

also side side note, Vol’jin doesn’t have too much time to visit in general so he is a frequent victim of the head bonks with a stick. and also sometimes he gets a TINY bit jealous that his grandma is the whole tribes grandma because it’s competition on who she pampers more and who can give G-Ma the best gifts (because again I think trolls show their love and respect primarily through giving gifts) but he does have the SOLE HONOR of HIS baby tusks being the ones she has around her neck at all times because Vol’jins her only blood related grandkid

also, to the few who don’t just call her Zul’muu (what i hc is the troll word for great grandma) people tend to call her Eza’jin because even though she’s not THE leader she’s def a big influence on the whole tribe and ‘jin is the suffix for leader/chieftain SO

also she is trans ✨

anyways. i’ve gotten off track and this is an incoherent mess bc i woke up, had a hit, and then wrote this so djfhk apologies but THERE SHE IS. GRANDMA TEETH

yes absolutely!!!! i actually have two OCs who are ace and one who is aro so I am more than open to write those things into fics! and I think fandom needs more of that kind of writing <3 I’d just wanna make sure to ask my aro/ace friends to make sure I'm writing things respectfully and correctly :D
