And then they merged to create a monster. Sometimes these templates work way too well. #worldofwarcraft #wowtok #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #spiderman

Medivh and Gul'dan had to do this ritual so they could make a telepathic link to open the Dark Portal. #worldofwarcraft #wowtok #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #brendanfraser

I can't imagine Pitlord blood tastes great, but more about how it makes you feel. #worldofwarcraft #wowtok #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #inglouriousbasterds

Do you think it's fair that only the Night Elves were granted immortality by the Dragon Aspects? They definitely weren't the only ones that protected Azeroth in the War of the Ancients #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #aquateenhungerforce

I guess you could say that they were... not prepared.... for how brutal the training was. The ritual involved consuming the heart of a demon to begin the transformation. It was so intense that only one in five Illidari survived. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #CapCut

Baine is understandably and justifiably reluctant to come to the defense of Garrosh, after everything he had done to Baine personally. But his task was not to prove Garrosh innocent, but rather to defend him against being executed. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok

Medivh opened the Dark Portal to Draenor because he was being possessed by a fragment of Sargeras. His mom, Aegwynn, defeated the Avatar of Sargeras & part of his soul moved to her as a host. She unknowingly passed it onto her son. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #venom

I always thought it was funny that even though Arthas was the one that ended Kel'Thuzad's subscription to life, they ended up becoming best friends after Arthas rose him as a Lich. They had no one else but eachother. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #starwars

I think the RE sound also works really well for this because parts of it sound like the Under City theme. #worldofwarcraft #wowtok #worldofwarcraftmemes #warcraftlore #residentevil

There are a lot of Sylvanas haters out there, for valid reasons, but you also cannot deny that she's a baddie at many points throughout the lore. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #ozark

It finally clicked for Sargeras that he was never going to be able to stop the demons, he needed to lock them all away instead of slaying them because they just resurrect in the Twisting Nether. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #elmo

I don't blame Ula'tek for becoming a villain. She's basically an animal that got captured and tortured. #wowtok #worldofwarcraftmemes #warcraftlore #Worldofwarcraft #janelynch

I don't blame Genn for not wanting the Forsaken to participate, even if it was in attempt to atone for their crimes and rebuild a bridge. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #willsmith

Ever get your rear whooped so hard that you bailed on your cosmic duty? We seem to have this effect on a lot of our enemies... #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #robertdeniro

How many times can I recreate the same cinematic with different memes? Let's find out. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #CapCut

At the end of August 2025, I commited to making daily content to share my love of the Lore of Warcraft. 9/14/025 There is a bit more to the story than what I had originally included on this slide #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #headlesshorseman #wowtok #onthisday

Akama and the broken stayed behind so the Draenei could escape. And they were left behind, just like the Krokul on Argus. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #jimcarrey

"Gotta get back... Back to the past..." A game in Tartakovsky-style, with 3D DMC-esque combat system and upgrades? AND also canon to the main series?! Yes, please! (I know I'm 6 years late but hey, better late than never!) #SamuraiJack #AdultSwim #SamuraiJackBattleThroughTime #GenndyTartakovsky

She probably could have toyed with him a little longer, but she loses her cool too fast. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #avengers

Yes, before some chud comes into the comments, UnderminedD was 100% politically coded and you are completely illiterate if you missed this. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #adventuretime

The Oath Stones were a complete waste of time.... but there were five of them... what was that Il'gynoth Whisper again? "Five keys to open our way. Five torches to light our path" #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #dragons

In "War of the Scaleborn," we find out that Neltharion was plagued by the whispers of the Old Gods 20,000 years before the current time in-game. He gave in to the whispers to capture Raszageth, then again for Iridikron. #worldofwarcraft #worldofwarcraftmemes #warcraftlore #wowtok #Dragon

We know this is the lore-reason that Sylvanas burned down the tree. But whether or not it was planned this way is up for debate... #worldofwarcraft #worldofwarcraftmemes #warcraftlore #wowtok #starwars

Isn't it just a little hypocritical of Umbric to criticize Arator for being reckless with the Void? #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #spiderman

Lor'themar realized it was a lose/lose situation; if they sent troops to the Coiled Isle, they could have helped stop the snakes, but by not sending troops, they missed the opportunity to stop Kith'ix from waking up. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #samuelljackson

No, nah, no union busting character-less basic-aah dude with almost zero personality is a leader of vulpera, no way. No. Nu-uh.

This is slightly out of order from the sequence of events that went down in the finale of Undermined, but you get the gist. #worldofwarcraft #worldofwarcraftmemes #warcraftlore #wowtok #grandmasboy

Rygelon, a constellar, showing up in the Sepulcher of the First Ones to stop Zovaal fron tampering with the Heart of Eternity is further proof that the Titans were the ones that ordered the Shadowlands. #worldofwarcraft #worldofwarcraftmemes #warcraftlore #wowtok #timrobinson

Kiro is the leader of the Vulpera. For the Earthen, they are governed by their own council. Brithne serves on the council, while one of my favorite characters from that expansion, she is not the defacto leader.

The Desert Ranger@yeehawfox.bsky.social

Excuse YOU? EXCEPT THE VULPERA AND EARTHEN? HELLO???

Except the Vulpera and Earthen, all of the races that have aligned with the Horde since Legion are led by powerful, intelligent women. Let's hear it for the girl-bosses of WoW! #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #americanhorrorstorycoven

For the life of me, I could not find any information on where the duel itself took place, because it happens off-screen in Warcraft I, so I chose Blackrock Mountain as the background since that's where their base was at the time. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #capcut

By her own admission, Zul'jarra would have anyone executed for what her brother did, but she could never make herself discipline him. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #talladeganights

Before one of you nerds comes for me in the comments, yes, I know Tyrande and Malfurion are not her actual biological parents. But they took her in during the War of the Ancients so they have always been a family. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #meninblack

Jaina was not on board with culling the youngling with a bad case of food poisoning. #worldofwarcraft #worldofwarcraftmemes #warcraftlore #wowtok #starwars

This is just a scenario that I really want to play out. Iridikron is one of my favorite villains. Despite the fact that he enabled Xal'atath to wreak havoc on our world, I would like to team up with him to punch Aman'Thul. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #avengersendgame

I know a lot of folks were disappointed with this cinematic, but I'm at least glad that they got to have a touching moment together. #worldofwarcraft #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #warcraftlore #CapCut

You know how when all you do is lay in bed it makes you more tired? I think Malfurion needs to go stretch his legs and get some coffee. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #melissamccarthy #JasonBateman #IdentityTheif

We could have been nicer to Nomi. It's not his fault we bombarded him. He was probably depressed AF. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #capcut

Zul'jarra is not fine. She was still reeling from her perceived failure to protect her people from her brother's hubris. Now that betrayal is tangible, rapidly eating away at her health and her mind. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #friends

Fine then, we didn't need you anyway. We built our own army with Blackrocks and Ogres. #worldofwarcraft #wowtok #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #tropicthunder

You always have to find that silver lining somewhere. And it's not Genn's fault, he's just a old pupper. #WorldOfWarcraft #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #warcraftlore #crazystupidlove

The Four Horsemen were getting some weird vibes from Bolvar so they thought they might have to end him. It turns out that he was just holding back the huge tide of Death Magic from the other side of the Veil. #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #teenagemutantninjaturtles

Illidan was 100% the weird, undiagnosed neurodivergent kid in school before his glow up.... I might be slightly projecting... #worldofwarcraft #warcraftlore #worldofwarcraftmemes #wowtok #truedetective

Last week I posted a meme about the same conversation, but from Liadrin's perspective. We may not agree with him because we can see the threat, but Lor'themar does have valid reasons for his decision. #worldofwarcraft #worldofwarcraftmemes #warcraftlore #wowtok #spiderman

Sure, technically Yogg-Saron created the Emerald Nightmare, but that wouldn't have happened if Fandral didn't plant a frickin World Tree over top of his prison... #WorldOfWarcraft #worldofwarcraftmemes #warcraftlore #wowtok #CapCut
