Y’all, I have had a happy realization. Two old/side projects of mine fit so we’ll together I might mash them into something new. XD Kingdom of Shadows is a sort of allegory seasoned with not-magic while Areth is a little more ancient and more folk lore esq than medieval fantasy. I’ve wanted to work on something along these veins, to try a smaller…[Read more]

Why didn’t I ask you guys sooner!!!! The good thing is I have only heard of about 10% of these, so there may be a chance some of them work!!!! Yippy! I shall listen though them while I clean the house later today. Thank you all so much!!!!!!!

@mineralizedwritings

wow! I love that one in the frame!!

@rae

Actually I thought it did kinda look like you!

I like the one of the little girl too!!!

@ellette-giselle

If I find anymore, I’ll let you know. Idk if any of these are what you’re looking for, and they all have very different vibes.

1. Pieces by Rob Thomas
2. Message in a Bottle by Livingston
3. The Last Goodbye, an end credit song from The Hobbit

Yes, I know the last one you probably read and doubted me, but hearing the lyrics, I…[Read more]

@keilah-h

well not cool for the character that dies but still lol

Not entirely sure why this was so funny to me, but congratulations on making me snort-laugh.

Nobody try to assassinate me please, but I think I might have just maybe reconfigured a certain sci-fi book out of YA and into upper middle-grade/young youth and it is so beautiful now and everything works so shockingly well I might be replotting the whole thing. Maybe. If I go with it.

It is really beautiful.

*Hysterical laughter*

But I also…[Read more]

Ah. I see it is not about dying early though. Hmm.

Pioneers by 4 King and Country? It’s not tragic though it’s about facing the estrangements of time. My family loves it.

Other folkies probably have more fitting suggestions. I’ll keep on the look out, though.

@ellette-giselle

If one dies, I say See You Again by Grey Havens. It’s a theme for several relationships in my books. Deeply comforting, focusing on the the “there wasn’t time for etc.” regret. I personally love the Autumn Sessions version, but there’s not really a difference.

Not entirely tragic, but absolutely possibly applicable, is Carry…[Read more]

@keilah-h

thanks!! They are actually side characters. My MC is as intriguing as it gets. XD

@loopylin  @rae

on the flip side, they are your classic sweet, shy, sentimental type couple, so even a song that would fit them that way could work.

@loopylin  @rae

Well, he ends up in the Nazi S.S. through some bad choices in his younger days, then has his salvation arch and finds out that his childhood sweetheart is Jewish. So he loves her but can’t marry her… and then he has to leave. So tragic and sad and separated and even him dying sort of song would fit.

as for the type of…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I think I do have your email! I’ll hunt down the doc and send it then. XD Old etiquette is interesting.

I wasn’t sure which so went with the first impression. XD Makes sense though. He didn’t look entirely feminine, but I am unfamiliar with anime. I can tell with elves/LotR because of exposure to Saxon culture, but outside…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I might be able to help kinda. I second Loopy’s question about what kind of tragic, and also, what type of music? More gentle (piano, violin, gentle guitar vibes) or upbeat (pop type I guess? Idk, steady, catchy beat.)

@keilah-h

ah. bother.

@keilah-h

Haha! Right?!?

DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD THEME SONG FOR A TRAGIC COUPLE?!?!

Something like a last farewell or something??! I have been searching for over a month. It started out as “oh that would be cool if they had a theme song” and turned into “they MUST have one just because I can’t find one.” lolol

So, anyone have a good one?

@keilah-h …[Read more]

@keilah-h

Wow!

That was a pretty cool way to think of it.

@mineralizedwritings

I’ll look forward to hearing how it goes! I should be able to try my hand at calligraphy again soon, and it will be more fun when someone else is doing it. 🙂

Oooh that sounds nice! Yes, I think that’s what I meant. Have you seen the glass pens too? They’re so pretty!

Yes, I have!! They are. I’d love to try one. They look lik…[Read more]

@rae

Well, I like it. XD It’s lovely. But I can understand feeling a self portrait didn’t capture yourself accurately. I’ve done that before. But the framing and everything seems to have worked out very well. The freckles may be darker than in real life, but you choose what to emphasize with art. As it is, they help capture personality. 🙂
