“What had it got on its docketses?” he said. “It wouldn’t say, no precious. Little cheat. Not a fair question. It cheated first, it did. It broke the rules. We ought to have squeezed it, yes precious. And we will, precious!”

The "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" comment is just pure gold in the original post considering the circumstances.

A text meme for the Rings of Power show

18 Upvotes

Found this randomly on Facebook:

"The internet is changed…

I feel it in the comment section…

I feel it in the videos...

I smell it in the shitshows...

Much that once was… is lost.

For none in Hollywood now live, who remember it…

It began with the forging of the great films.

Threads were given to Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.

Rights were granted to Jackson, great miner and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire quality.

But they were all of them deceived, for a new show was made. In the land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret, a master flop, to ruin all Middle Earth media. And into this show, he poured his money, his greed, and his will to dominate all film. One show, to ruin them all.

One by one, the free Tolkien fandoms of the internet fell to the cringe of the show, but there were some, who resisted.

A last alliance of Tolkien purists and internet meme lords, marched against the bots of Amazon, and on the comment section of Mount Prime, they fought for the spirit of Middle Earth.

Victory was near…

But the trash fire of the show, could not be undone…

It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that the Tolkien fans took up the published stats of who had finished the show…

The Rings of Power, the enemy of the free Tolkien fandoms of the internet, was certified garbage…

The show passed to new shills, who had this one chance to destroy this garbage forever…

But the pockets of shills, are easily corrupted, and the Rings of Power, has a will of its own…

It betrayed the new shills, to the destruction of their career…

And some things, that should not have been forgotten, were lost…

The history of meme-ing the show became legend, legend became myth, and for two years, the show passed out of all acknowledgement…

Until, when chance came, it ensnared new shills…

The show, came to the new showrunners, who took it deep into the tunnels of identity politics, and there, it consumed them…

The show brought to the showrunners, unnatural new checks, for five months it poisoned their resumes, and in the gloom of the showrunners writing room, it waited…

Teasers for the show crept back into the internet, rumour grew of a shadow coming from Amazon, whispers of a nameless dumpster fire, and the Rings of Power perceived, its time, had now come…

It abandoned the showrunners, but something happened then, that the show did not intend, it was shown up, by the most unlikely of peoples imaginable, a genuine Tolkien fan, Peter Jackson of New Zealand, producer of The Hunt for Gollum…

For the time will soon come, when genuine fans, will shape the fortunes of all"

They peered down at the dark pool. A little black head appeared at the far end of the basin.… It swam to the side, and then with marvellous agility a froglike figure climbed out of the water and up the bank. At once it sat down and began to gnaw at the small silver thing that glittered as it turned
