Title: WotLK: A Tribute to Arthas [WoW Nerd Warning]
Post by: Elieana on November 25, 2008, 06:30:26 AM
<If I am posting this in the wrong area please let me know>

Alright, <true> story time! So, ever since WotLK's release, I have discovered that Blizzard designed Arthas to be very... umm... Not... ugly >:3 Anywho! I've developed a little (and completely non-creepy) crush on him (mostly for jokes and giggles in my guild). Well, a couple of hours ago I managed to find my way into Icecrown... and, knowing me and my suicidal attempts to get what I want, I ventured in (although it is an 80 zone, and I am barely 74 ^^). I did manage to kill a handful of 80 undead, but the 2.5k experience for each kill wasn't really worth the 60g repair bill (in my opinion it was, but others might not think so). So, I got to Arthas' castle, only to find the door (durr....) shut and locked, upon which the two elites guarding his door (after I ran though all of the other ones...there were HUNDREDS by the way) killed me. So, I am sitting as a ghost in front of the Spirit Healer when suddenly... I ask my friend (who happened to be in a group with me, laughing at my insanity) if I should just give up. Before he could reply, I found myself... breaking out in song. I thought "Hey! This is pretty funny for pulling it out of my ass on the spot!" so I thought I would share it with the peeps here. I modified it as little as possible (really just fixed a few words to make them make sense, fixed a typo or two), but it is still pretty original and unedited. Ahem. And, without further adieu, I give you... A Tribute to Arthas.

Elieana: Should I just go back home? [pauses] No! I musn't! [breaks into song]

I felt his presence watching over me when I came into his land;
No matter how far I reached, he could not reach out his hand;
And though, I know, he is far from me, I cannot help but stay;
And now I stand, strong and true, for he and I shall say;
'I know we are different, so different;
But still I cannot help but feel this waaaaaaaay';
Oooooooh I cannot wait for the day we meet;
For that shall be the day;
The day that he takes me in his arms, in his arms is where I'll stay;
For it is he and I, me and him, us, together, forever;
I know that others will mock and say that we shall never;
But alas, I cannot care;
For he is mine, and I am his, oh can't they understand?;
The day will come when we are as one, when we shall walk hand in hand;
Oh I know that he is with me, with me here and now;
For these strange voices they whisper, 'Just turn back and leave'
But even though I'm hacked and mangled, my remains are likely cleaved;
I know in my heart we were meant to be...
And so... for he, I sing...
Even though... we are different...
Oh, so different... in many ways...
I cannot help myself... to love him...
Love him... in this strange, and creepy...
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...


[sighs]





P.S. - My boyfriend will probably say something along the lines of "You never wrote a song for me :cry"

To which I'd respond: "You never had your minions hack me into a mangled corpse in front of your massive stone door outside your castle. :-P"

If you haven't already, just roll a Death Knight and you can hangout with him in Ebon Hold.  He will even talk to you while you go off and murder the lowely town folk in his name  :mwaha

Yeah, I have to say that was one of the neat parts of rolling a DK.  Who knew the Litch King himself would be bothering with a lowly DK like me.

Oh I know! I LOVED doing the DK starter place! Nearly fell out of my chair with girlish swoons ^^

While I didn't have girlish swoons, I did giggle quite a bit as I went about terrorizing citizens and wreaking havok on their little town.  My housemate actually demanded that I stop laughing maniacally.   :animesweat

No.  Her whining would have drove me mad if I didn't comply.

I dunno, he has his own, rugged, "I-will-destroy-you-and-all-you-love" kind of a appeal.

I know I can't wait to meet up with him... especially since I just bought a hold over computer until I can get my laptop fixed.  :animesweat

Well that and his voice.  I love the voice they gave him in game.  Makes me look forward to foiling his plans constantly just to get him ranting at me (or which ever of his generals I just defeated).

Ooooh don't bring the "Prince of Darkness" into this conversation about THE Prince of Darkness!

Hey now, give the Ozzman some credit.  In his day he was a pretty scary and menacing fellow.  Times have changed and new powers have risen (Arthas, for one), but that's no reason to forget about those who paved the way.  Think of Ozzy as one of the forefathers.

Well Ozzy got pwned by Arthas anyways so its all good  :mwaha

Rock vs Frostmourne, tough choice, that.

He'll get to know *you* eventually.

Without spoiling anything, he pops up from time to time as you make your way through Northrend.

Yes he does and I lurves it.  I'll always enjoy the sound of that voice.   :U

Though I have to admit, I've seen a lot more of him than I would have anticipated on my long quest to get my rogue to 80.  Maybe by the time I get my DK and S.Priest to 80 I'll get tired of it.. but I doubt it.

Heh, I know ^^ I'm 80, and have currently done most of the quests where I get to see/be Arthas ;D It's fabulous! :boogie

By the way o: Icecrown is the BEST zone in the expansion... Not just because I like Arthas .-.

I'm ~60% into 79 and I'm only about halfway through Zul'Drak. By the time I get to Icecrown I'll be *rolling* in gold.  :mwaha

Yeah, I've finally got a steady income on my rogue.  It seems eternal belt buckles sell well.

I'd planned on waiting to go to Icecrown until after I'd finished Zul'Drak and Storm Peaks. Then one of the other guild DKs who hit 80 about a week ago mentioned his stats. My APand crit is half his.

I gotsta get busy.

At least until you buy a Tundra Mammoth.
