After doing the new Escalation quests. I noticed Thrall appears to help Vol’jin. Why. Why aren’t you there helping Garrosh Thrall? WHY ARE YOU BACKSTABBING HELLSCREAM INSTEAD OF HELPING HIM LIKE YOU…

Thrall is probably one of the few people who Garrosh would take some shit from without lashing back, because of who Thrall is and WHAT HE DID FOR THE ORC PEOPLE (something Garrosh would not disregard), but also what he did for specifically Garrosh by telling him about Grom and giving him purpose in life, but ALSO because he’s literally the only person alive who has been in Garrosh’s Warchief shoes. As aggressive and domineering as Garrosh can be as Warchief – whether it’s honorable Cata Garrosh or psycho-nutjob-Theramore Garrosh – running the Horde IS something that wears on him. The politics, the decisions, the responsibilities. If anything, Garrosh probably has MORE respect now for Thrall than before, since now he actually knows what a shitty job being Warchief actually is.

So yeah. Vol’jin saying Garrosh would kill Thrall on sight is…well, it’s a fair thing for VJ to say given what’s happened to him, but it’s ridiculous to imagine actually happening. And I don’t think Malkorok would try something, at least not directly, because forcing orcs to choose between Thrall and Garrosh would be a very risky decision. It’s one thing to push the Horde military into increasingly aggressive behavior against their enemies. It’s quite another to demand the Horde attack or kill someone who is quite literally the savior of their entire race.

And that’s just the common orc. Thrall loyalists like Eitrigg, Saurfang, and many others might frown and scowl about bombing Theramore, but try to kill Thrall and they will rip your head from your shoulders in a heartbeat. Attacking Thrall would be INSTANT civil war and even if Malkorok’s side won, it would be stupid costly and pretty much break the already-fragile peace within the Horde.

As for Thrall’s “Horde spilling Horde blood, it’s tearing me apart” line? I had the same reaction as most people; “WELL GEE MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO CAIRNE”. And the line did sound super selfish and self-righteous and not acknowledging any responsibility. But is that the case? I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt for now, because maybe it’s tearing him apart BECAUSE he realizes that he did cause all of this to happen. Garrosh is certainly responsible for his own actions, but Thrall did give him the crown, so.

Granted, we haven’t seen this guilt or humility out of him yet, but he’s only had a few lines. We’ll see what happens when he shows up in Org, I guess.

“I love u” i whisper to my screen

I guess I just want them to communicate this shit in game and I want Thrall to be something like “Welp I tried talking to Garrosh several times, it’s time to go to Orgrimmar for more stronger measures. The Aspects await us within Wyrmrest. Hurry – come with me!”

What I mean: You are one of the best friends I’ve ever had. The level on which we connect baffles me. I’m so so happy that I can share my interests, secrets, guilt, faults, joys, and insecurities with you in confidence and receive encouragement to improve and keep being better, and I’m comfortable with the ease with which I can reciprocate those feelings and that support to you as well. We make a great team and I’m really fortunate to have you in my life.
What I say: u lil shit

On today’s drive home I pondered whether or not Tev actually feels things other than negative emotions ( anger, cruelty, vengeance, etc…)or if he just thinks he feels other things.

So far I’ve decided that he does but any of his positive feelings are almost non-existant compared to his negative ones. A lot of the time he thinks he should be feeling a certain way and that response automatically overrides what he might be actually feeling, so his reactions tend to be weird.

Thrall is a dick.

He’s been raising his kid in Durotar. The player meets him there in 5.1 when Vol’jin sends you to find him. Thrall even specifically states that he needs to confront Garrosh on this matter at the end of the quest line, but he hasn’t until now. 

^

my guess is that they overused Thrall last xpac, a couple blues even said as much, and so they tried to tune is down a bit.

However, they neglected to use him as a character when it would actually be fucking relevant and important for him to be there

Yeah I’m not even blaming Thrall, I just wish they had thrown us a bone and had Thrall say something like “I’ve been talking with Garrosh and wwhile I don’t agree with what he’s been doing, he’s the Warchief, and I must make some weighty decisions before confronting him directly.” But nope he’s just going to charge in like some big dumb orc.

Thrall is a dick.

My orc is FURIOUS with Thrall for only thinking about himself in the face of what’s going on

she’s on the rebel side but she heard his little speech about how horde spilling horde blood was “tearing him apart” and she had to literally bite her tongue to stop herself from yelling at him about how dare he make this about him and his feelings when everybody else is telling him he’s needed on the battlefield

as far as she’s concerned Hellscream can take him, she doesn’t want him :p

Come to think of it, has Thrall even talked to Garrosh since the Shattering? Or even since the fall of Deathwing?

My guess would be that putting the world back together again after it humpty dumptied as well as raising his child and more-or-less running the Earthen Ring keeps him a bit preoccupied. He returns to see what has happened to Durotar with Chen Stormstout and he says “What has Garrosh done with the Horde”. I mean it’s clear that Garrosh has betrayed Thrall’s trust and faith in him utterly at this point.

HOWEVER that still doesn’t stop him from going into Orgrimmar -alone- to to save the Tauren people knowing full well that Garrosh will try to have him killed out-fucking-right.

Why does anyone think Thrall somehow owe’s Garrosh anything, at this point?

I should be more concerned about the blood elf bleeding out in my keep…

I’m starting to realize he’ll just never go away.

On the brighter side, just think about how much this must piss off Hellscream.

I’m sure he’s yelling about it while planning some other sacred area to raze.

Perhaps, screaming, even.
