I mean, cute in a 2D depiction, with a lot of detail missing, but think of the reality of the situation.

Probably smells like shit, literally. Bathes as frequently as she hunts fish.

Probably has no idea what a toothbrush is, chunks of meat stuck between teeth until the enzymes in her saliva break it down over weeks.

Anatomically incompatible, probably.

Bro, the genre's called fantasy for a reason.

Why you gotta ruin my dream of finding someone who loves me for myself? Unrealistic though it might be...

[–] SpeakingColors@beehaw.org 22 points 6 months ago (2 children)

If that's the same criteria you use for looking for that someone, and you proceed with an open and courageous heart: it won't be a dream.

And I would say that we have general artistic conventions of depicting elements the previous commentor suggested: smell lines, meat in teeth, etc.. Their absence from the scene leads me to believe the commentor's interpretation is far from the artist's intentions.

I appreciate the heartfelt advice but I'm mostly just riffing.

My real problem is that staying home and playing video games is less work and more immediately gratifying than getting out and trying to meet someone, but I recognize that complaining about that just means I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too.

The goblin swinging a club on the other hand...

[–] strongarm@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

She doesn't love you, you're the first thing she could grab with a heart beat and two legs

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 25 points 6 months ago

Beggars can't be choosers.

[–] bastion@feddit.nl 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Not true! She ate a monkey yesterday. ..and she grabbed it before she ate it.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Why is your dream a tiny filthy goblin? You can do better.

I am a big filthy goblin pretty much. A hobgoblin, if you will.

Holding out for orc husbando myself.

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

then hit me up if your still looking

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 8 points 6 months ago

I think that might just be a hobgoblin?

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I don't think I could go with someone who's like 2 feet tall.

[–] EffortlessEffluvium@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

You! You…height-ist!

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 months ago

Hey, that's not fair to the goblin.

Why would you, though, when you could have little goblinoid babies and save on the vet bill?

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Thats fair, tbh.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

you're aware humans have existed in the wild for millions of years and we regularly fucked other human species, ye? and people can be in relationships without having sex.

Goblins that are capable of intelligent speech and understanding and desiring the concept of a husband are well within the limits of acceptability.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Anatomically incompatible meaning... Well... You ever tried to put a sausage inside a garden hose?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Like i said, people can be in relationships without penetrative sex, or do you think lesbian marriages are invalid?

Not since I was a kid, it fit but barely... It was a firehose though so idk if that counts.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean, the many half races in DnD implies that most races arent anatomically incompatible

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

There's rules for that and in this case nope.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Minotaur and Centaur is a nope, but Minotaur and dragon is a yes!

And clearly biped

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Now Centaur plus dragon

Human genes seem to be recessive

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

I should have figured there'd be a cross breedability guide!

[–] Ithi@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

With the exception of using magic as pointed out at the bottom so I guess if they tried hard enough...

[–] bastion@feddit.nl 2 points 6 months ago

Family is family, even if it must be created by magic and held together by compulsion. ..right?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Fiction can be whatever you want it to be. There's no Right way to depict fantasy races/creatures.

[–] exocrinous@startrek.website 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Bathes as frequently as she hunts fish.

Bruh she has two toned hair and it looks good. That woman knows how to use hair dye well. I bet she bathes every day. Or every second day, goblins probably have healthier bathing habits than humans. Humans are so obsessed with cleanliness they don't give their bodies time to apply its own natural measures. You're not supposed to wash your hair with shampoo every day, you'll damage it. And no conditioner above the neck. Your hair's natural oils will come in and you'll have healthy locks that shine. Constantly stripping your hair's natural oils away will just make you dependent on shampoo and conditioner.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

Does your doctor prescribe your copeium, or is it synthesised in your bathtub?

You had me at smells like shit

[–] pjnick@ttrpg.network 3 points 6 months ago

Clean shaven arms and legs, combed hair (with highlights?), and an earring all imply that the goblin does care about and maintain her hygiene/appearance
