All Will Care

To the tune of "All Is Fair" from "Snow White"

(MIQUELLA has just entered the Land of Shadow)

MIQUELLA Marika was not the brightest Into war the land's regressed So who, of course, is left to divest His body? One guess Now is the time, it can't be later I will get power with this plan For me to be A deity Because well, I can All will care When I take the crown Then there will be no more war and no sides None will dare To argue or frown Free will? It only divides Blessed with grand powers like these All will bow to my decrees Or they'll die Yes, my mother's lie I will now erase All will care When the world's a gentler place (As RADAHN is raised) Perhaps I've been a bit confusing But I've no need for your consent When to my sister you were losing Now your power is spent I've spent my life approaching Godhood I've no pity for a prop Seditious Gods Must be vicious Gods So I'll be on top Yes I like it on top All will care When I take the crown To be a God means you do as you please I won't share The love or renown You can have me or Scarlet disease Now I could reneg, even regret If you beg like a good pet But why start? I can steal hearts There's no need to chase So darling, all will care When the world's a gentler place Now, perhaps you have heard that a virtue not chosen's not virtue at all But when St. Trina said that, she took a fall Every soul is my servant And the Tarnished are tools Kindness means killing Til I write the rules All will care When I take the crown It's lucky my brothers are gay If my snare had not brought Mohg down Down, down, down, in the sewers he'd stay And when I get the deed Finally done I'll proceed When I have won To rip out All my mother's clout And the glow of grace Then the world will care They will care or they'll despair And then it's the ring that I'll repair All will care When the world's a gentler place!

Radahn's Pressure

If you're wondering why I only just started posting Encanto songs, it's because I hadn't seen it before now, but it's such a perfect musical for the demigods, especially since Marika and Abuela have far too much in common.

To the tune of "Surface Pressure" from "Encanto."

(MELINA has found RADAHN in Caelid; he's still sane enough to talk, but the Scarlet Rot is breaking him) RADAHN (spoken) Why would anything be wrong? I'm fine, the stars are fine, Radahn's fine, I'm totally not nervous.

(He takes a bite out of one of his soldiers' arms. The rest of his army takes a few steps back.) MELINA (spoken) You're, uh, you're eating the thing... RADAHN (sung) I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is I move mountains, I sack churches I've a might that the right of my birth is MALENIA (spoken) Of course, I mean-- RADAHN I don't ask how hard the work is Got a rough, indestructible surface Diamonds and platinum I find 'em I flatten 'em And fate's countermanded No falling star's landed But Under the surface It's growing worse as The Scarlet Rot is way too tough for nurses Under the surface Was Godfrey's ass ever like "Yo, I don't fuckin' deserve this?" Under the surface I'm always standing versus A pair of endless curses I hold my crown But gasp and drown As gravity pulls down And what'll bring me down is Pressure that is Tight tight tight As a leather strop, whoa Pressure in the Night, night, night, Just to let it drop, whoa-oh-oh "Give to your brother, your brother's older What's another magical cosmic boulder?" Who am I, if I fail Radagon's call? If stars fall, to... Pressure just to Fight, fight, fight 'Gainst the future's flow, whoa Pressure that burns Bright, bright, bright As the lust of my bro, whoa-oh-oh "Give in to your brother, become his consort, Even though as God he would be the wrong sort." Who am I if I can't carry it all? If I falter Under the surface I hide my nerves and it worsens I worry mother did desert us Under the surface My will doesn't swerve, as I serve Laws as stern as Lycurgus Under the surface I think about my purpose While waiting for my terminus The planets and the stars Leave countless scars The universe is crumbling, yet still with me it spars But wait If I could shake That crushing fate, Predestination, Would that free me to search for joy Or contemplation, or simple leisure Instead we measure this growing pressure It's flowing, and flowing 'Cause all I know is

Pressure that is Tight tight tight As a leather strop, whoa Pressure in the Night, night, night, Just to let it drop, whoa-oh-oh "Give it to your brother, your brother's magic Will make sure the future can't be too tragic Watch as he frenzies and fights like no one's fought With the rot!" And Pressure just to Fight, fight, fight 'Gainst the future's flow, whoa Pressure that burns Bright, bright, bright As the lust of my bro, whoa-oh-oh "Give in to your brother, yes, even if with Him you would be Guts to his Temu Griffith " I must gorge like a dog, my wits are shot For I cannot Beat the Rot And pressure (He HOWLS at the sky, his wits long gone)

We Don't Talk About Messmer

To the tune of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from "Encanto"

(Imagine, if you will, a scenario where MELINA tries to discover the truth about her forgotten brother. This is that scenario. We begin with MELINA spying on the HORNSENT and the GRANDAM of Belurat as they try hopelessly to scavenge what remains of their city) HORNSENT and GRANDAM We don't talk about Messmer MELINA (to herself) Sure, sure, sure HORNSENT and GRANDAM We don't talk about Messmer GRANDAM (HORNSENT) But it was our lion dance (It was our lion dance) Both the keepers danced til there wasn't a cloud in the sky (No clouds allowed in the sky) Messmer appears with his fiery spears (Murder!) You telling the story or am I (I'm sorry, mother dear, go on) Flaming arrows fell like rain (Was here to dispel us) Belurat was sacked and slain (That fella really did fell us) Now we live in grief and pain (And the monster must pay for that dark day) We don't talk about Messmer, sure, sure, sure, We don't talk about Messmer!

(MELINA walks into ROMINA's ruined temple) ROMINA Hey, waking up from dreams of Messmer's catapults still rumbling Congregation trapped 'neath a temple that was tumbling I associate him with the flame within his hand, fire, fire, fire, But our heavy hearts soon will start his humbling 'Cause inside my bud the Scarlet Rot was mumbling Whispering of outer Gods I couldn't understand Do you understand? (MELINA is now in Leyndell, with MORGOTT) MORGOTT Thirteen foot frame, eyes just a gash And he saw a flame that turns all to ash When our mother's dreams Get ripped at the seams We don't talk about Messmer, sure, sure, sure We don't talk about Messmer HORNSENT We tried to attack the guy, now we're all dead ROMINA I turned to the Scarlet Rot because I saw red MORGOTT And to save Marika from blame, he took it instead ALL THREE He guards their/our realm as an object of their/our dread (MELINA is now in Volcano Manor, with RYKARD talking) RYKARD He showed me that to feast on their screams Was both awesome and truly divine He showed me that for power to grow Find a snake and fuse with its spine That way the whole world will be your prey (MELINA is now talking to MIQUELLA at the base of the Haligtree with MALENIA) MIQUELLA (MALENIA) He showed me that the man of my dreams Needn't be out of reach Just 'cause he's my brother Yeah, he's just like me for real (Hey bro) (You sure this is what we should do?) Yeah, he's just like me for real MELINA Uh, Messmer? Yeah, about that Messmer I really need to know about Messmer He is my twin and I must find Messmer (MOHG storms in) MOHG Oh, Miquella, your boyfriend's here Time for incest! (The voices of the various sources on MESSMER join in, as MELINA thinks of her long lost brother) HORNSENT It was our lion dance (It was our lion dance) Both the keepers danced til there wasn't a cloud in the sky (no clouds allowed in the sky) Messmer appears, gores us all on his spears (Murder!) You telling this story or am I RYKARD This way, the whole world can be my prey HORNSENT (MORGOTT) Flaming arrows fell like rain (Thirteen foot frame, eyes just a gash) Belurat was sacked and slain (And he saw a flame that turns all to ash) Now we live in grief in pain MOHG And he's mine, he's mine, he's mine! (MELINA stands in front of the Black Keep) MELINA Hey, he's here. (MESSMER steps out on the battlements and a phalanx of bows aim at MELINA) MESSMER (MELINA) Don't ask about Messmer (Why did I talk about Messmer) Not a word about Messmer (I never should've brought up Messmer)

[childhoodmeetsfromsoft]

No One Mourns the Omen

To the tune of "No One Mourns the Wicked" from "Wicked" (We open in the Mohgwyn Dynasty ruins, where the dead corpse of MOHG is streaming blood. In voiceover, we hear the voice of the SHANEHAIGHT NOBLE and MORGOTT) SHANEHAIGHT NOBLE (spoken) Lord Morgott, exactly how dead is he? MORGOTT (spoken) Fellow residents of Leyndell, according to the great Erdtree clock, the chosen of the Formless Mother perished just after midnight. The result of a Rivers of Blood katana wielded by a Tarnished warrior. The Lord of Blood is dead. (The hand protruding from MIQUELLA's cocoon reaches out and grabs MOHG's body, pulling him into the cocoon as the music begins. We follow it through a wave of blood until we arrive in the streets of LEYNDELL where the CITIZENS are celebrating) LEYNDELL Good news! He's dead! The dread lord of blood is dead The wickedest lord there's ever been The enemy of all in the Lands Between Is dead Good news! Good news (A CHILD points toward the Erdtree, at whose feet MORGOTT is standing, veiled so as to hide his Omen nature) CHILD (spoken) Look! It's Morgott!  SHANEHAIGHT NOBLE (spoken) Lord Morgott, Lord Morgott, is it true? MORGOTT (spoken) Citizens of Leyndell, let me set the record straight. Yes, Mohg, the Lord of Blood is dead. (sung) Let us be glad Let us be grateful Let us be glad the golden order could undo The bloody business of you-know-who Isn't it nice to know That gold will conquer incest We couldn't let him win, lest We all die Now heave a sigh For you and... SHANEHAIGHT NOBLE (sung) No one mourns the omen! SOLOIST 1 From the tree he can't return CITIZENS For his reign of killing was depraved SHANEHAIGHT NOBLE The golden scorn the omen! SOLOIST 2 From their horns we can discern CITIZENS From their knots, they cannot be saved (MORGOTT turns toward the Erdtree and sings reflectively) MORGOTT 'Cause gold still glows While omens are forsaken Gold still glows While omens have no worth It just shows When you're omen, you're mistaken From your birth CITIZENS Yes, gold still glows While omens are forsaken Gold still glows While they rot in the earth Nothing grows for the omen! MORGOTT (to himself) They're mistaken In their mirth. CHILD (spoken) Lord Morgott, why do Omens happen? MORGOTT (spoken) That's a very good question, one many people cannot answer. After all, Lord Mohg had a childhood. (We flash back to the Erdtree, where GODFREY is suiting up for battle as MARIKA looks on) MORGOTT (spoken) He had a father, who by the way, was about to finish off his war against the giants. And he had a mother, as so many do. GODFREY How I hate to go and leave you lonely MARIKA That's alright, it's only One more fight. GODFREY But know that you're here in my heart While I'm out of your sight (GODFREY walks out of the gate and strides away) MORGOTT (spoken) And like any family, they had their secrets. (MARIKA's hair turns red, her breasts retract, and suddenly RADAGON is standing in her place) RADAGON Godfrey doesn't think But does his duty Trying to protect another's crown But Godfrey doesn't think That's why he's failed Against our seduction and betrayal Since your victories are hollow, little Godfrey You'll follow and drown MORGOTT (spoken) And one thing led to another, as it so often does. (MARIKA is now SCREAMING on her birthing bed -- understandable as she's birthing two kids covered in horns -- while being attended by GODFREY and GOLDMASK) MORGOTT (spoken) But of course, from the moment he was born, he was...well...different. GOLDMASK They're coming! GODFREY Now? GOLDMASK The babes are coming! GODFREY And how! GOLDMASK I feel his toes

GODFREY I feel such joy BOTH It's a healthy, perfect, handsome little... (They scream at once. MARIKA looks up in alarm.) MARIKA (spoken) What is it? What's wrong? GOLDMASK How can it be? GODFREY How was it born? GOLDMASK It's uncanny! GODFREY We must mourn! BOTH Like the bowels of the Erdtree, the babies have been covered up in... MARIKA (coldly) Horns. (She glares at the two babies -- MORGOTT and MOHG -- her eyes filling with freshly remembered pain.) MARIKA (spoken) Take them away. (In a brief flashback, we see a younger MARIKA being lashed by a Hornsent wielding a tooth whip before we're back on the birthing bed) MARIKA TAKE THEM AWAY! (With the CLANG of a dungeon door, we watch as the two babies are sealed in a cell, where one -- MOHG -- stares up at the ERDTREE, his eyes narrowing with infantile hurt) MORGOTT (spoken) So you see, it couldn't have been easy. (We're back in Leyndell, and MORGOTT is watching as the CITIZENS wheel out a crude effigy of MOHG, clutching a second, screaming effigy of Miquella to his crotch) CITIZENS No one mourns the Omen! Now at last he's dead and gone Now at last the Blood Lord does not stand And Gold still glows MORGOTT Gold still glows CITIZENS And gold can never break Gold still glows While omen have no worth MORGOTT  We had no worth... CITIZENS Woe to those Who golden laws forsake They are shunned No one mourns the Omen! (MORGOTT reaches behind his back, pulls out his GOLDEN HAMMER, and throws it at the effigy of MOHG, shattering its hold on the MIQUELLA figure) MORGOTT Good news! CITIZENS No one mourns the Omen! MORGOTT Good news! ALL No one mourns the Omen! Omen! Omen!

New song not posting

For some reason the site isn't letting me post a song.

The Dolor Of Her Sin

AN: Alright. You guys like the serious stuff. Well, now that we have a better idea of Melina's backstory (albeit with some theories I subscribe to), here's my take on her, played straight. To the tune of "Colors of the Wind" from "Pocahontas" (We open with the TARNISHED resting at a grace in the Mountaintops of the Giants. MELINA watches from a distance) MELINA You think I am only your maiden And because you're strong and graceless I guess it can be so But though I can agree That the tarnished one is thee There still is yet so much you do not know You don't know... You think the crown's a prize to lay your hand on That Lordship is a conquest you can claim But I know what you're facing in the future All depends on my vision of a flame You think the only evil that is evil Is the evil this world has put you through But you know not the darkness or the danger Or this thing, you'd never do, you'd never do You have never seen a dream die In a God's cocoon Or asked what really is the price to win Yet I will burn to fix the choices of my mother For she is tainted by the dolor of her sin She is tainted by the dolor of her sin I sharpened all the knifepoints of the Godskins A Gloam-eyed queen not merry, with no mirth That ended when my mother's black blade found me And the price that I pay, I know its worth The Starscourge and the Serpent are my brothers I watched all of their triumphs and mistakes For we were all imprisoned by our mother In a circle, in a ring that never breaks How high will her golden tree grow? I must burn it down, so we'll never know I will make the golden dream die It will be unhewn For what can be must beat what's always been And I will burn to fix the choices of my mother For she is tainted by the dolor of her sin I will burn the earth, until With your order's birth, I will Cleanse the taint that is the dolor of her sin

With the Mark of the Light

AN: And now for something completely different. Our boy Mohg beat the allegations and we should celebrate.

To the tune of "In the Dark of the Night" from "Anastasia" (MOHG stands triumphant in the land of shadows alongside VARRE and ANSBACH)

MOHG Through the mark of the light I was crazy with yearning And the man I became was as bad as can be It made me flip all my lids I don't even *like* kids But just blame the enchantment, 'cause that wasn't me! I was once the most traumatized kid in the sewers When my mother confined me she made a mistake What made me feel safe and warm Was one little God with no form And I only led knights of blood for her sake! VARRE and ANSBACH Through the mark of the light Evil defined him Through the mark of the light It was a con MOHG The sweetest defeat: ALL Allegations are beat! VARRE and ANSBACH Through the mark of the light MOHG I was gone! MOHG Though the players once cowered, opinion is turning Now they know that my bro-loving past was a myth Though my coolness was once denied Now raise my standard in pride Now my dynasty's who they're side-- --ing with! VARRE and ANSBACH Through the mark of the light It wasn't like him MOHG (spoken) Being a pedo is gross! VARRE and ANSBACH Through the mark of the light He came unglued MOHG 'Cause of the vow It's Radahn's problem now! VARRE and ANSBACH Through the mark of the light MOHG I was screwed VARRE Through the mark of the light Evil defined him ANSBACH Mind him! VARRE 'Twas the mark of the light, It wasn't true! ANSBACH Doomed him! MOHG My brother's a swine And hell no, he's not mine VARRE and ANSBACH Through the mark of the light Through the mark of the light (Bloodflame wreathes MOHG as he sings the next lines) MOHG Come, my purebloods, rise for your master Make blood flow like wine VARRE and ANSBACH Through the mark of the light Through the mark of the light! MOHG Kill, invade, and sew more disaster VARRE and ANSBACH Through the mark of the light Through the mark of the light Through the mark of the light MOHG Now I'm fine!

The Golden Glow

Author's note: Since y'all liked a more serious take on this page, consider this a seriously unfunny take on the backstory to the Lands of Shadow.

To the tune of "The Plagues" from "Prince of Egypt" (We open as MESSMER burns his way through the Shadowlands, with MARIKA watching. His SOLDIERS chant as they work, their voices rising in a chorus) SOLDIERS With Messmer's flame, with Messmer's flame With Messmer's flame, with Messmer's flame With Messmer's flame, with Messmer's flame With Messmer's flame, with Messmer's flame MARIKA Since you have murdered all my people SOLDIERS All through the Lands of Shadow We bring a war unfit for song Into your house, into your bed We hear you rail, we hear you wail, We take your heart, we take your head We sack your tower, and your churches and your field And you will break upon our keep where the base serpent is concealed We send the blame We send the shame With Messmer's flame (As they fight, MARIKA stands in her village, gazing at a portrait of MESSMER) MARIKA Once I was your mother Once I thought the chance to save your life Was all I ever wanted SOLDIERS We will impale your sculpted men, we will send fire raining down MARIKA And even now, I wish that I could choose another Leaving you to endless unknown strife Is a choice that leaves me haunted SOLDIERS Impaling all who live again, in every village, every town (MARIKA casts her Minor Erdtree) MARIKA This was my home They brought pain and denigration Now they're on the losing side All the innocent who suffer Are avenged with genocide SOLDIERS From all who live and yet are safe, you will be veiled by a screen And all your screams will then be silent all across the Lands Between Face mother's wrath In mother's name Through Messmer's flame MESSMER You who I call mother, Who to spare, now say, how can I know? SOLDIERS Face mother's wrath in mother's name! MARIKA Seek the golden glow SOLDIER In Messmer's flame! In Messmer's flame! (We cut to MESSMER as he has just been knocked into his second phase by the TARNISHED) MESSMER You who I called mother How could you have come to hate me so? Is this what you wanted? (The echo of the SOLDIERS' chanting echoes throughout the chamber) SOLDIERS We send the blame We send the shame MESSMER Then watch the serpent loosened For if my role's to strike a killing blow This will still be so I'll spare none without the golden glow SOLDIERS Of Messmer's flame! Of Messmer's flame! (The memory of MARIKA sings along with MESSMER) MESSMER (MARIKA) I will defend your (my) golden glow!

[childhoodmeetsfromsoft]

Hunt Radahn the Dissembler

NOTE: This one's not going to try to be funny. I already did the funny version of Miquella, but this time I decided to lean into how terrifyingly evil he actually is. Enjoy. To the tune of "Once Upon a December" from "Anastasia"

(We open in MIQUELLA's Haligtree, as the demigod himself instructs MALENIA to kill Radahn so that he can marry him, despite Radahn's unwillingness) MIQUELLA He thinks he'll Hold the ring? Bring him cause to remember He swore he'd be my King Hunt Radahn the dissembler I'm the sun but you're a storm Soon we'll beat mother's golden swarm I am waiting patiently To lead my family (We watch as MALENIA tries desperately to kill RADAHN as the chorus of Cleanrot Knights sings in the background. Then we see ST TRINA falling down the stone coffin rift as she joins in. Eventually, though, we cut to the Realm of Shadow, as MIQUELLA summons Radahn's soul to place it in Mohg's body) MIQUELLA I will make them all conform When we beat mother's golden swarm I will strip the agency Of all my family Loyal blade, all will know You're the one family member Who allowed me to glow Brighter than mother's ember And you brought me my king Rise, Radahn, the dissembler

[childhoodmeetsfromsoft]

Sadder

To the tune of "Badder" from "Disenchanted." (Imagine, if you will, if MARIKA and MIQUELLA could actually have the long-overdue mother-son talk they need after the DLC) MARIKA Please don't think that you cause me any fear Hiding behind your boss fog MIQUELLA Sorry, were you speaking, you're hard to hear 'Cause you have no lines of dialogue MARIKA Trying to be tragic, you're worse than Mohg Just a twink with BPD BOTH All of your excuses for going rogue Won't get sympathy Your backstory's sad, But mine is so much sadder MARIKA Really, you are only naughty MIQUELLA And you're just a has-been, a cashcow for Vaati Midra got it worse, 'cause he's in pain and madder BOTH My backstory's so much sadder than yours! MIQUELLA Sure, the Shaman's fate was regrettable But you experienced none of it Trauma just by proxy's forgettable Plus your revenge was racist, evil shit MARIKA For your twin, you should have had greater care Waiting for you, frail and sick Your age of compassion just left her there While you chased Radahn's dick! BOTH You can claim you're sad But my life's simply sadder Really, you should just kowtow, now You can't equal me as a little meow-mow MARIKA You're a virgin meme, and I'm a Chad, but Chad-er BOTH How can you think your life's sadder than mine? Nobody ever would prepare to cry MIQUELLA For mass murder! MARIKA Or for a rapist and liar. You're NAMBLA but backwards MIQUELLA You're Hitler with tits MARIKA So divest yourself of life! MIQUELLA Climb in a jar, bitch! BOTH It's time you were calling it quits MARIKA (MIQUELLA) This compassion phase really made you bomb (Genocidal ways really made you bomb) You are not right in the head (You are not right in the head) MIQUELLA IT IS NOT A PHASE, GOD, I HATE YOU, MOM! MARIKA Mmmm, Miquella you're grounded, go to bed. MIQUELLA The stone coffin fissure, I'll toss her down! MARIKA I'll smash his great rune like the ring BOTH And when he (she) is gone I will own the crown With Tarnished (Radahn) as my king His/her life's sorta sad, but mine is so much sadder That is why, to save my order I will have to see that he/she yields the path forward Once I sit alone atop the Elden ladder Then the lore obsessive fanbase Will totally be in my thrall Until, like Sif, they find they can't face The very, very saddest of them all!

[childhoodmeetsfromsoft]

Hornsent Rap

To the tune of "Batty Rap" from "Ferngully" (We open with the moment when the TARNISHED meets the HORNSENT in the Gravesite Plain. FREYJA motions them toward him) FREYJA (spoken) Oh, another thing, did you speak to our dour little friend? If you've yet to do so, have him give you a map of the crosses' whereabouts. They are Miquella's footprints. (The TARNISHED approaches the HORNSENT and the music starts) HORNSENT Yo, the name is Horny The history is thorny The shamans we were scorning Put us in mourning My path is unswerving My swords ain't girthy You might be Miquella's, but you ain't worthy I was done for The trashy whore's Godhood's what we're clashing for. With my ash of war I'm a crashing bore Cause wounds by the dozen Just like Waterfowl's cousin Yo, and did I mention I want vengeance? I'm Horny (spoken) Seems to have no effect, master. "GET ME ANOTHER ONE. GET ME ANOTHER SHAMAN." (sung) She used and seduced us Bled and traduced us For her Godhood she only used us So here my horny word And exercise a little prudence When dealing with Numens (spoken) "Lord Hornsent, another prisoner. Tooth whip. More lashes, Thomas. Remove the prisoner's flesh. After about 600 lashes to the back, the shaman seemed to exhibit some ability to meld with a series of convicts' penises. I said orally. Increase the volume on the Lamenters'...we're losing her. Get me another one, get me another Shaman! Strap him down, if he resists, impale him. Impale him! IMPALE HIM! DON'T IMPALE ME. Seems to have no effect, inquisitor. Thank you, Grandam. Why don't you ever call me?" As you see, the Shamans don't really feel pain. THEY JUST GET USED TO IT! (sung) 'Cause I fight for the horns To vengeance I'm sworn Til Marika mourns With post-traumatic stress over my dark fate And race hate Postcoloni- al bologna Justifies my acts For Marika's groaning I'm Horny FREYJA Horny, Horny HORNSENT I'm Horny FREYJA Horny, Horny HORNSENT I fight for the horns and my history is thorny I'm Horny FREYJA Horny, Horny HORSENT I'm Horny It's my horny rap (spoken) "Use the greatsword of damnation, idiot! He's just a shaman!" (sung) My horny rap (spoken) "Make sure the teeth in the whip are diseased" (sung) My horny rap FREYJA Who's Horny? HORNSENT Moi

[childhoodmeetsfromsoft]

Spiny

To the tune of "Shiny" from "Moana" (We open on the TARNISHED entering BAYLE the Dread's arena, with IGON behind him. BAYLE looks up at them and starts singing) BAYLE Well, this old dragon is a massive fucking deal I used to break every drake once Then Placidusax made me a three piece meal But I'm not pitiful, baby Did your maiden say, level up your stats And dodge and roll with each new try I need three moves to tear her argument apart And then you die Because I'm too spiny I'm a middle finger plus a vigor check LOL get wrecked Because I'm so spiny And next to my hitbox you are just a speck Save your neck And just go You're so dumb, dumb, dumb Chasing healthbar-having critters Beginners And so you come, come, come To the lord of firespitters You're such winners I just love good grub And you should get good, scrub

IGON (spoken) CURSE YOU BAYLE! I HEREBY VOW-- (BAYLE lazily crushes him with one claw and picks him up) BAYLE Well, well, well, little Igon's making trouble in this bout You fake mistake of a drake warrior, oh, What a terrible performance, bail out (get it?) You don't shoot me like you used to, man And yet I have to give you credit for your schtick And your revenge-driven design At least I would, but you stole that from Moby Dick Now suck on mine It's huge and it's spiny Like my hitbox, which is half the fucking map It's a trap My trap is so spiny Like this fight, you are a broken piece of crap Now get clapped, Igon man You can try, try, try But you can't expect your arrow war To beat a pterosaur (look it up) You will die, die, die Now it's time for you to curse my name And close the game Go touch some grass and abandon your console. Defeat of Souls bosses won't make you accomplished. Your skill is just cap Like that dumb Ahab-cosplaying sap Loser! Cope and seethe and get all whiny 'Cause my moveset is so spiny You can't dodge it 'cause it never ends you see Can't beat me, little flea I'm too spiny Every move I get another AOE Just for free You'll never be quite so spiny Your hitbox isn't quite so spiiiiiinyyyyyy! (The TARNISHED stabs him in his rear claw and his health bar ends) BAYLE Fuck.

[childhoodmeetsfromsoft]

Messmer's Flame

To the tune of "Toxic Love" from "Ferngully" (We open on MESSMER as he leads his armies to purge the Land of Shadow) MESSMER (spoken) Mmmm...death. Mmmmm...smoke. Mmmmmm...fire. Oh, oh! (sung) Wartime crimes Genocide Dogs that chew on those who've died Death around me Death in my name You're embraced by Messmer's flame Messmer's flame I see this land and all the Hornsent in it I'll kill 'em all, there's not a way to spin it Marika's Godhood, it's how she did begin it And I've no choice, that's why I simply wallow in it I feel good, a special kind of horny Power is sweet, though no one here will mourn me Nobody can escape the darkness I'm dispensing Serve me murder, well done, with sides of ethnic cleansing They will drown In the blaze Pouring down Like ends of days All that's cruel All that slays Dying now as Messmer's prey (We cut to the present day, when the TARNISHED walks into MESSMER's chamber) MESSMER Mongrel intruder, you've a price to pay that's steep: Revenge for all these years locked in this keep I won't allow a Lord who is devoid of light So you'll be in my jaws and swallowed with one bite 'Cause mommy might be cruel, but she gave me a hand With my infection beaten by her Erdtree brand And so to keep the Shadowlands weak and divided I burn a path of doom, with my sharp spear to guide it I hit one time, I hit twice (The TARNISHED hits him) MESSMER Oh! Ah! Ohhhhh, no more being nice. Soon my spear, it will pass Eighteen inches up your ass Snakes inside me Snakes are my shame Now bow down to (oh, oh, oh) Messmer's flame!

[childhoodmeetsfromsoft]

Light, Light, Light

To the tune of "Mine, Mine, Mine" from "Pocahontas" (We open after MARIKA walks through the gate of divinity, as she speaks to her forces, led by MESSMER) MARIKA The great horn-decked beasts, The fell God's great ruin Will seem like failed visions Next to what we're doin'. The order I'll build Will dwarf them by far And because I am mad, you see, I'll burn the Scadutree Light, men, Light up the Hornsent And burn, men, Burn them to crisps Grab a pike, men, Strike, men Shove in a shotel Unbottle that bodily fluid That flows when you fight For gold and the light, light, light! MARIKA'S MEN Burn, and burn, and burn 'em and burn And burn, and burn, and burn 'em an... MARIKA For Bonny, Bonny For Bonny, Bonny, Screw Hornsent culture For Bonny, Bonny, For Bonny, Bonny, My rage is loosed For Bonny, Bonny, For Bonny, Bonny, They'll face the vultures And I will be ruling the roost MARIKA'S MEN And burn 'em and burn 'em and burn... MARIKA They tortured my kind It's not that I'm bitter 'Cause they will go blind When they see how I glitter And with genocide, They'll find I'm no quitter Those fingers who awed me Will queen me, no, God me! My heart's light, light as a feather It's light work, killing them all With these war crimes, Sure I'm Glad their pain lingers My dear friends the Fingers Knew what I would do with the might 'Cause murder makes my heart light! MARIKA'S MEN And burn, and bur, and burn, and burn 'em and burn, and burn, and burn, and burn 'em and burn! MESSMER Mother does love me, but my birth defect distressed her She plucked out my eye and her iris means I need not fight So now get ready to face eighteen inches of Messmer When you're gored on my spear That's shoved up your rear Just know that you're getting off light MARIKA Keep on killing, men! MESSMER Light! MARIKA (synonymous with below) Their blood's spilling, men! Light, men, light, Light up their world Burn down the world MARIKA'S MEN (synonymous with above) Fight in this mother's war There'll be no other war Burn! Burn! And burn 'em all Burn! Burn for the queen ALL (except MARIKA) To reward her Order MARIKA Pile corpses high, men And make them all die, men, For my world of gold and of spite MESSMER So give me your blame... MARIKA They'll face their old shame... MESSMER And in Messmer's flame... ALL None will be the same! MARIKA (MARIKA'S MEN) So worship the name...(Hornsent's true reward's) Of...(Being put to the sword) Light...(My pulse racing) LIght...(As shadow is facing the...) Light! (Burn, and burn, and burn 'em, and burn, for Bonny, Bonny, we'll burn!)

Mom Like Me

To the tune of "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin. (We open in Count YMIR's chapel. He is educating the TARNISHED on the lore) YMIR Well, when the Hornsent butchered Shaman town And then stuck 'em in the bonny gaol Then Marika rose up and took the crown Without knowing she was doomed to fail She thought the power of the Fingers ruled That they were speaking for the Greater Will And yet the truth was that they all were fooled And that is the hard-to-swallow pill For I know Metyr Their mom, I fear, Made up the rules, you see And the thing that's gonna blow your mind Is they should've had a mom like me TARNISHED I'm sorry, what the fuck? Bro, you stand up to pee YMIR I'll fix that with a glintstone nip and tuck 'Then they're gonna have a mom like me Yes, sir, I pride myself on learning Every scientific law And to become These fingers' mum I don't even have to wear a bra My body was type A, I'll respec to type B They'll be my brood TARNISHED You're crazy dude YMIR And they're gonna have a mom like me! (A chorus of WALKING HANDS joins in) WALKING HANDS Ma ma ma YMIR Oh yeah WALKING HANDS Ma ma ma TARNISHED No, no! WALKING HANDS Ma ma ma YMIR Ha ha ha It's gonna be great! Can your mom do this? (Casts Carian Retaliation) Can your mom do that? (Casts Miriam's Vanishing) Can your mom cast this (Casts Carian Phalanx) With a high Int stat? Can your mom go BANG! (Casts Comet Azur) Well, lookie here, Can your mom use Bells to Awaken Metyr's form, and then respec with a Silver Tear? So don'tcha sit there, slack-jawed, buggy eyed 'Cause it's what I know I have to do My body's gonna be re-genderfied Like the coffin out of Dark Souls 2 Because we're really just stardust, given form And the Greater Will has gotta go And that must start with Greater gender norms And then I will be the God like so, and oh Metyr, Their mom, I fear, Is a loss, but they'll agree, One Glintstone tome, And mommy's home. Then they're gonna have a mom, Gonna have a mom Then they're gonna have a mom, Gonna have a mom Then they're gonna... Have a... Mom...like...me! WALKING HANDS Ma ma ma! YMIR Ha ha ha! Then they're gonna have a mom like me (The TARNISHED stabs him) YMIR Hurk!

"My Ass"

To the tune of "Journey to the Past" from "Anastasia" (We start in MIQUELLA's memory of his "proposal" to RADAHN) MIQUELLA (spoken) Lord brother...I'm going to be a God. If we honor our part of the vow, promise me you'll be my consort. RADAHN (spoken) Bro, what? You are literally a child. Also I think your sister's hotter. Later. (He walks off. MIQUELLA watches him, fuming) MIQUELLA (sung) Heart, you've failed me now Trina, I divest you When I'm God, it now is clear People always say That consent's important But it's not as cool as fear With charms, his wishes I'll bypass He can't spurn me or my ass (We transition to MIQUELLA walking through the Land of Shadows) MIQUELLA Somewhere down this road He and I'll be dating Brainwashed consorts can't go wrong Arms will open wide I'll be safe and wanted With a Lord who's kind and strong With all the power I'll amass He can't spurn me or my ass Home, Love, Family I divest it all My mother's age will end Good bye, family 'Cause no yaoi is complete without his boyfriend Some call this a crime Some might call me pushy But I must rule with my bro Can't be as I was With my Miquelussy Will compassion run this show Some might call it malign But when I'm divine That will make them kiss my ass And get me laid At last

Take the World

To the tune of "Kiss the Girl" from "The Little Mermaid" (We open in Midra's manse. MIDRA is, as always, screaming in agony. A chorus of WINTER LANTERNS -- or aging untouchables, if you prefer -- is assembled outside the manse. MIDRA looks out the window at them with dread) MIDRA Concussions... Screams... Wails... Words... Dear Nanaya I endure another day For an end I always pray But my wife, I can't doubt her But the frenzied flame It cries out in my name: "Let chaos take the world" This is dire My resolve is almost through Oh, Nanaya, what to do? How I wish I could ask her To be Lord I failed And I've been impaled Should chaos take the world? WINTER LANTERNS Shalalalalalala My, oh my Come on, give in and die Let chaos take the world Shalalalalalala Don’t be sad ‘Cause if you just go mad You gonna bake the world

(The TARNISHED walks up to the manor, looking bewildered) TARNISHED I lost Torrent I lost every fucking rune Better find a boss fight soon No time would be better What's that scream I heard? MIDRA Bro, it's not preferred If chaos takes the world TARNISHED Hahahahahahahaha I'm not scared And you will not be spared MIDRA You'll make it take the world! WINTER LANTERNS Shalalalalalala Don't feel dread Pull off your fucking head Let chaos take the world (The TARNISHED stabs MIDRA) MIDRA Oh, no! WINTER LANTERNS Shalalalalalala Just escape And give in to the grape Let chaos take the world MIDRA No, no! WINTER LANTERNS Shalalalalalala Rise and slay And make the world your prey Let chaos take the world Let chaos take the world MIDRA Won't let it take the world WINTER LANTERNS Go on and take the world! (The TARNISHED lands a finishing blow) MIDRA (spoken) Fuck it.
