#Lords of the Rhymes

[lowcountry-gothic]

The Lords of the Rhymes were a Beastie Boys style rap duo who rapped exclusively about Tolkien.

I named the nameless hills and dells And I drank from yet untasted wells Goin’ mad off the hook just like a Númenórean And I got more rhymes than there are leaves in Lothlórien Yo, I’m harder than a Mithril coat A hundred is the number of the orcs I smote I battled Helms Deep and I took Minas Tirith If you don’t watch out, we’ll make your ass disappeareth!

[shamythelazypotato]

Chosen? Are you there?

...

Have you ever slept?

Your answer was, "Only when it's necessary."

Have you ever dreamed?

And your answer was, "I don't dream, I simply rest."

Then I cleared my throat and clarified my question,

"Have you ever had nightmares?"

After a few seconds of silence, you said, "...No."

Have you ever stepped on a rock? Or maybe fallen into a hole?

Your answer was, "No, the rocks always turn to ashes before they sting, and I fly above the ground before I get hit."

Have you ever enjoyed a park or a pool?

With a grimace, you exclaimed, "No, how can I have fun in places where I burned thousands of faces who were enjoying themselves? I'm not a fool."

Have you had any friends?

And your answer was, "I don't need them."

And I saw you swallowing hard.

Maybe the words "I lost him" wanted to come out.

Have you ever wanted to live?

You looked at me, confused, and said, "That's what I try to do every day. I've fought and burned for my freedom. Isn't that answer enough?"

I looked at you blankly and said matter-of-factly, "That's called survival. I asked if you've ever enjoyed your life."

Then you went silent and said, "Next question."

Have you ever passed out?

Your answer was a tighten, "No."

"Must be tough to be so powerful yet incapable of taking a break," I responded.

"When your body doesn't even have the ability to turn off itself"

You just scoffed and spat, "What did you just say?"

So I clarified,

"That even if you wanted to, you can't pass away."

And everything went silent again.

"Have you ever killed other people—"

You interrupted me sharply with, "I didn't want to."

I composed myself and stated, "But you didn't just try to; you did it."

Then you quickly replied, "I'm a different person now, that's in the past." Your patience was running thin

And I asked, "So why did you attack so many times?"

You lowered your head, burdened with guilt and shame, and with a stiffened body, you said, "I didn't know people could choose not to fight back, y'know? to actually die."

Silence again. Then you murmured under your breath,

"I wish I would've known back then."

And without another word, you left.

And I never knew if you meant the others, or yourself.

Unmasked and bare he stood and gazed upon this world consumed by raging storms. His reflection stared at him with eyes so stern at the figure of a fragile man with a mind so strong but the flesh so humble. The task ahead near insurmountable that a man no longer he shall be. For his desires and the future he foresees a stalwart idol he must become to defend from all the lies and things depraved. He shall destroy himself to do what no one dared - to fight for an Empire unmarred.

while i do agree some of taylor swift's lyrics are. ???. sometimes i see things pointed out and criticized that would not get any reaction at all if they came from any other artist

The sky is blue, shining high above,

A single star twinkles, its light so great.

Winds whisper tales, ancient stories told,

Where the Silmarils shine like stars in the sky.

On the horizon, mountains in morning fire,

And stars shine as in a dream.

Where songs are glorious, flowing like water,

The light of the silmarils pierces the night.

In the world beneath the moon, in shadows and mists,

The past lives on, like flashes in a meteor shower.

Waters ripple in rivers, a ring gleams at the bottom.

Ancient Gondolin sleeps in the deep.

Arupek sets off to leave Tuxedo Sam's Kingdom! What's left is preparations before continuing the journey!

Tuxam - “…Restocked rations. Check! Clothing…? We shouldn’t be too careless. Here. I’ll put extra layers for you.” Arupek - “I guess there isn’t harm with a few more layers!” Aurpek - “But Tuxam, aren’t you going to be cold as well?” Tuxam - “Me? I’m quite used to the cold at this point!” “I’ll be fine even if I had minimum clothing on.” Tuxam - “If it’s fine with you, I’d like to accompany you until we’ve reached [Route 1].” “The SEEDs surrounding milord’s territory are dangerous and aren’t the kinds to take alone!” Arupek - “But what if SEEDs attack the kingdom while you’re away?” Tuxam - “That’s why I’ll take you from [Route 1].” “The SEEDs rarely make it across the kingdom, but that doesn’t mean I should be careless.” “I’d take you further… But after recent events, I shouldn’t…” Tuxam - “It isn’t too far from the kingdom, and if I sprinted, I could likely make it in time.” “But if you’re underestimating this kingdom, I’ll abandon the thought of helping you in the first place!” Arupek - “I’m thankful for your help!” Aurpek - “Let’s go fishing the next time!” “I want to try the fish in your kingdom.” Tuxam - “With… Me?” Arupek - “Who else am I talking to?” “You’ve been so reliable, and helped me so far!” Tuxam - “I’ll have to find time in my schedule!” “Send me yours, and let’s see what we can do.” Arupek - “It might be hard right now…” Tuxam - “N—Not now! Later!” “Let’s go already!” Tuxam - “(But… Am I sure he’s only interested in the fish or…?)” “(No! Now’s not the time!)”

(Additional Information/Tangents):

I like to imagine Tuxedo Sam’s kingdom sits in a snowy landscape, with the capital being a walled city that protects itself from SEEDs (physically sturdier than most, but weaker against magic).

I like to think the answer to Tuxam’s question is both! Arupek genuinely admires everyone in Noir Bouquet and isn’t afraid to express that.  A really passionate guy! Arupek wants to meet Tuxam on a better note and also try the local fish in the region.

"[Route 1]" is a placeholder because I don't have a name, and it'll probably never have a name... or maybe it's an unintentional pokemon reference...

Arupek - “I know! We should go ice fishing!” “At your lord’s kingdom! Wait—Wait! Maybe we can even invite Lord Pekkle and Lord Tuxedo Sam as well?” Tuxam - “Hm… I’m not against the idea, but it might be cold.” “Are you sure?” Arupek - “How can I not be?” “This is time we can spend together!” “Oh!” “What are you thinking, Tuxam?” Tuxam - “There’s a place I’ve been thinking about…” “Have you heard of the Tuxedo Sam comics?” Arupek - “I’ve heard of it!” Tuxam - “You have!?” “That’s amaz—Ahem. In comic issue #37, Tuxedo Sam and the Hidden Lake; milord, Tuxedo Sam stubbles onto a lake upon accident.” “To much of his surprise, the fish there are purely yellow and resemble gold!” “It is greatly described in detail and said to be quite exceptional in taste!” “Finding this lake… I always wanted to do it!” Arupek - “A hidden lake with golden fish with exceptional taste!?” “I’m drooling!” Tuxam - “Wipe it with this.” (Hands a handkerchief) Arupek - “Oh! I didn’t mean it like that, but I’ll produce a little bit of drool so it can be of use.” Tuxam - “Make sure to return it clean the next time.” Arupek - “I will!”

(Weeks Later)

Tuxam - “What is… That?” Arupek - “A cooking set!” “If we’re set to eat yellow fish with a golden look with exceptional taste, we have to eat them in every way possible!” “You know. Grilled. Poached. Steamed. Cured. Raw.” “So I brought a cooking set!” Tuxam - “Every way… Possible?” Arupek - “Yup!” “Oh—Wait… No. I was thinking we could make sushi for Badobarm, but we don’t have rice.” “Do you think it is already too late…?” “Hm. You think if I ran fast enough, we could buy rice in your lord’s kingdom?”

Tuxam, who sits there not expecting this

"That's Lunch!"

Mean beaning.

Been mealing.

More being.

Less meaning.

Crust, crust,

crunch, crunch,

Bad seeding.

Bed meeting.

Head beating.

Cred bleeding.

Lunch, lust,
