Um… can I do plays??? XD Shakespeare’s Richard II coupled with Henry IV— don’t know if you’ve read them, but Henry IV is the continued story of Richard II. They’re directly linked.

Anyway.
The negative character arc for Henry Bolingbroke (later Henry IV) begins when he is charged with high treason and banished overseas by the inexperienced…[Read more]

@Overcomer Oh no, I’m so sorry! I will definitely keep you all in my prayers.

@jess yes, finally! Another perfectionist! *high fives you*

@gabriellemassman Ha! Procrastinator’s block, I don’t think that writer’s are the only one experiencing that. 😛

Ah, and strange vocabulary connection I just made for school.
The word Supercilious pretty much means arrogant. The root for it is Supercilium which means ‘eyebrow’. I guess even back when this root was made, arrogant people still raised their eyebrows. 😛

@sierra-r I can’t…when and who was it from?

Terpischorean… I’m going to have to use that some day. 😀

Here are some more.

Legerdemain: trickery

Imbroglio: a complicated situation (or, for less formal matters, brouhaha 😛 I love that word)

Pastiche: a work that imitates or is made of pieces of other works

And I found this one very…[Read more]

@gabriellemassman
Hi! I’m Dragon Snapper! Nice to meet you! *shakes your hand very hard*
Ooh, I wrote some fantasy. And Tolkien is only ever awesome. (Note to Self: read poem)
You’ve been writing since you were 9! Woah…I only started about three years ago. Did you ever have writer’s block in that time?
Thanks for joining and I look forward…[Read more]

@Gabriellemassman Last time I checked, there were about three INTJs on KP, so you make the fourth. And I like to think Ethryndal is elvish–it’s something I made up one day and became rather attached to. 😉

@Overcomer Definitely. I hope he’s okay.

@daeus I’m gonna head out now. I discovered the focusing questions and five answers for all 5 (I narrowed down a few 😛 ) as well as supported some of them with Bible verses. A lot of bible verses. Thanks!

@Audrey-Caylin We’ve all made that mistake at least once before. 😉

@Gabriellemassman Mae Govannen, fellow INTJ! It does my heart good to see another of my rare personality type. I hope KP will be as much of a blessing to you as it has been to me! I’m going to go read that poem now so I can redeem my name of Tokien Geek…

@Sierra-R Well this is awkward. Here.

Peace offering. 😀

@Sierra-R If it’s any consolation, I used to be crazy about Kili and Tauriel myself. (Kind of secretly, but still. 😛 ) Even now I don’t despise it with everything in me…I just think it’s a little silly and gets in the way of other relationships (even though I still like some of the scenes). *shrug* But I think no less of you, at any rate. 😉

@Ethryndal You’ve probably already lost all vestiges of respect for me by now, but I just wanted you to know I painted that starlight quote and hung it on my wall.

@Ethryndal Ah well, I forgive you. 😉

Maybe they thought it would be needed for the next king or something, but really…

Um, no. No one but Thorin should get the Arkenstone.

But doesn’t the Elven Crush trump all? Come on, she walks on starlight in another world! That’s way more important than even shedding a tear over the Impal…

Ooops, or third, apparently. XD

Hello, Gabrielle! Let me be second to welcome you. 😉
I’m actually a fellow Tolkienite and I had never read that poem… I just went and looked it up and now I’m choking. THAT. IS. AMAZING. I have a new favorite. Thanks so much for recommending it!

And your book sounds lovely. Welcome to KP. 🙂

@GabrielleMassman Good ta meet ya!

*gasp* I LOVE that poem!! Wow. It’s one of my favorites.
And Les Miserables is one of my absolute favorite books too, so yay. 🙂

Hope you have a great time here.

@daeus Of course. I was just testing you.

@daeus I’m late, but I’m here now.
