Goblins should be silly little guys that don't give a fuck. Sucks that some shitty writers have turned them into an anti-semetic caricature.
I like silly little guys.
I want a fantasy thing where the goblin is the hero. Let goblins win for once.

With Tolkien being the only fantasy I like enough to have gotten really into, ive gotten REALLY into Tolkien, and i have a huge soft spot for the orcs/goblins. Fucking everyone can get corrupted by evil, thars a big point in his work. So is pity. The lotr books take time to have some orc dualgoue whenever possible and it generally speaks to a deeper culture than we're entirelt shown. Don't even get me started on all the Evil Men. Most had really legit beefs. Ghan Bury Ghan is my favorite minor character
Love the orcs who are like "after the war is over, we should find a nice farm in the countryside and retire, do a little light pillaging occasionally"
The Dunlendings and other peoples who were colonized by the Numenoreans (and their vassals) would make for some really interesting stories
Cottagecore orcs.
And yeah, fuck numenor. All my homies hate Numemore
