What’s a silly headcanon you have?

At some point after Legion, when Acherus was still stationed off the Broken Shore, the Ebon Blade made some work-for-trade agreements with Suramar to get some arcano-showers installed onboard to help with hygiene and reduce the amount of gore and grime the knights track everywhere. Janitor Edwards is very appreciative that this has made his job easier.

I often wonder if scholars came down to interview him. We know Thrall grew up reading books written by humans about orcs so there was clearly a lot of post-war interest in these creatures that nearly brought humanity to its knees.
I imagine these researchers would be frothing at the mouth for a chance to speak with their leader and document it.

And Terenas will be laughing his socks off that the last great warchief of the Horde was an elf, an undead one at that. In any case, Terenas was always the person who was willing to accept that Capital City could fall, as long as the Alliance as a whol survived.

Honestly, those two will probably never see each other and be put in totally separate afterlives.

Undercity became a titan in the cosmetics industry when one apothecary attempted to create a substance that would cover up the smell the walking dead put off and accidentally created perfume.

We have very different definitions of a “great warchief of the Horde.”

We did see the denizens of the realms of Death within Oribos. I’m not sure what circumstances would allow it happen, but it’s possible that they could stumble upon one another. Plus we don’t know all the criteria for the various afterlives, so they might have been sent to the same place for all we know.

Though I like to think that after being saved by the Horde and Alliance, the people of the Shadowlands turns to those in their realm to get some history to it all. They in turn hear of the exploits that happened after their deaths.

Daelin losses at hearing that Derek was resurrected and found his way into the Horde, Terenas is just exasperated by his antics and is disturbed at both of his children end up becoming undead and leaving the Alliance. Doomhammer and Lothar get along rather well, shocking nearly everyone since the former did kill the later. Kilrogg and Grommash get understand, while there is an awkward air between Doomhammer and Zul’jin, who who keeps glaring at the Sunstriders. Kael’thas’ choices get derailed by his father, which gets mocked him by Vashj, who came for the show.

… It could a fantastic comedy show.

I always imagined there was a point where Kael’thas was waiting in line to be judged, desperately avoiding making eye contact with Illidan or Vashj.

Also the Mechagon intro quest for horde has some goblins get fried as I recall. He paid out life insurance to their families. Legend.

When the Tauren first encountered humans on horseback they commented, “What bizarre looking centaurs.”

Forsaken will sometimes give their own eulogy to an audience and give time for a rebuttal.

Worgen have dedicated considerable research into eradicating all forms of fleas.

Gnomes actually went to both of Azeroth’s moons but choose not to tell the Night Elves since they had been through so much already.

Dragons have often written the legends mortals have about them themselves, just to see how gullible people are.

With Dalaran destroyed and hence, the postmaster office… The Weaver and her Weave-rats now handle all the mail. After all, it is her business to always be in the know. And Spindle does have experience giving out mail.

Mine is that Forsaken innkeepers sell mushrooms because they’re massive fans of The Last of Us.

Inverse gnomes and tauren and i could believe this.

Only a Tauren could hear “pizza pie” and makes the most calorie dense abomination that takes up a whole oven.

Thincrust is nutritional efficiency, minimal grease, and a suitable lunch at the gnome tinker shop.

Deal with Union workers IRL and the analogy makes more sense than you could possibly believe.

Goblins would absolutely have corrupt unions.

Adding onto this I thoroughly believe that there is a Cartel that exclusively does business in Strikebusting, with elite training similar to paramilitary outfits, white hat hacker organizations, reverse engineers, and corporate espionage that is theoretically untouchable by the other cartels because they are employed by every cartel.

Headcanon: “Warlocks of SoD are the Demon Hunter 3rd spec with their Glyph of Dark Apotheosis.”

Joking to the side if be funny if DH get a 3rd spec this way and they built the story around this Glyph of Demon Hunting, reusing all the mid to melee rage old spells in SoD with new VFX and its reveal it was a “gift” from Xal to help mortals fight the Legion. :rofl:

Although now that I think about it… I would not mind if my DH could use the old Harvest Life… man, I miss MoP Warlocks. :sob:

Dracthyr interpret the dwarven phrase “Keep your feet on the ground” as somewhat passive-aggressive.

The Old Gods wouldn’t have half the influence they do if Azerothians had access to antidepressants.

Had he survived the Second War, Lirath Windrunner would have also gone on to marry a male human.

There are dozens of unknown races hidden in the less-traversed corners of Azeroth, who have witnessed the various events involving the Alliance and Horde from afar, and have quietly decided that they want absolutely none of it.

Outland’s rate of deterioration has increased in recent years, despite the efforts of the Sha’tari, Mag’har, and the Kurenai’s attempts to keep what little remains of the world in one piece. The reason why is that Outland has become prime real estate for all of the second-rate villains and wannabe Mad Max types who have taken to squabbling over the desolate wastes. Dr. Boom is just the most infamous example of a grand number of saturday morning cartoon villains that can’t cut it as expansion-worthy threats, so they just stick to Outland.

I mean, Tauren are big boys and girls but I haven’t seen much to indicate they have anything but simple diets.

I’d imagine a tauren pizza would be a pretty basic flatbread… just upscaled 4x as big as normal.

tbh ‘tauren pizza’ might look like wildly different things on different menus, depending on how jingoistic an alliance tavern-keep might be…

Yeah that’s why teranas refused to go to kalimdor.

Dumb take, lol.

If some random hobo looking dude told you to leave your home, would you leave it? Yeah I think your takes have always been stupid as well.

The guardian of tirisfal transformed right infront of him and teranas was too stupid to realize it.

He didnt tell anyone he was Guardian. No one, not even Antonidas himself, knew he was a reborn Medivh. Heck, as far as everyone else knew Medivh was dead and buried.

Which leads me to my biggest criticism of Medivh and his supposed “wanting to correct” his mistake. He wasnt willing to risk being killed a second time by revealing he was Medivh(and potentially convincing people) he played the part of a madman spouting the end of the world(which WoW has a dime a dozen of, just ask any Doomsayer from Cata). Why should anyone with a rational brain trust the warning of what looks to be a raving madman.
