Thanks, babe! Merry early Christmas. c:

This might also discount him, as even though his Mother was a citizen back when he was born - Fred Trump (His Father) was born to German Immigrants.

Though as far back as that was - it's hard to know if his parents were. (I am happy to be corrected, if there is a credible source saying they were.)

I hope that it canonically IS his Grandfather's scarf.

I've never been more proud of something I've said off the cuff like- 10 - 20 minutes ago.

Is we translate from German: "This Dis Day" which sounds like a holiday for diss tracks.

I am kind of in this boat too. Plus, didn't we de-power the artifacts we used at BfA pre-patch? I don't wanna do that to Thura's birthright, y'know?

I heard once that an idea was a mixture of this, and the Companions from TES. I'd've been DOWN for that shit, tbh.

I feel that. When I did my first stream, my neighbor was snowblowing outside. 🙄

THE TIME HAS COME,

TO AWAKEN HIM.

TO BRING FORTH THIS BEAST AND

AWAKEN! AWAKEN! AWAKEN! AWAKEN!

TAKE THE LAND, THAT MUST BE TAKEN!

Funfact! He's named after two weapons of war from LOTR! (As a lot of things in WoW Lore are.)

Grond, in LOTR, was the hammer of Morgoth, the first Dark Lord.

Grond is also the name of the Battering Ram used by the forces of Sauron at The Siege of Minas Tirith.

A really powerful example, one that you can even use to show even the alliance starting to see this- true side of Turalyon, is have him use the same slurs that Daelin Proudmoore did.

There will be dickheads, ofc. But, if you have him walk that familiar ground - it'd be powerful indeed.

That, in and of itself, is tricky. I think the key is to draw upon HIS experience with the Horde: Old Horde.

So long as the person using slurs isn't glorified - and it's shown he gets a comeuppance, ala Calvin Candie - I think him using in-universe slurs would be a good way to depict his racism.

Adding on: The word Savage - used by colonizers - was used to justify my people, American Indigenous people - not having rights from 1620, with the foundation of Plymouth - until 1924.

And even to this DAY is used to justify the crimes against humanity that was done to us. I'm sorry, man. L take.

While I WANT him to not be Lord Kiss-ass, I do NOT wanting him using a real world slur.

Calling a person from a culture that is tribe-based, or is parallel to Indigenous people. (Read: Tauren, Troll, etc.) Is not just racist in game. It's racist in real LIFE. And that does NOT fly with me.

Disagree on the fact it was GOOD for him to call a faction of tribal cultures a "Savage".

Which is, in that context - a slur on par with any other racial slur. He can convey that feeling, without using a real world slur towards my people.
