Trahia the Minstrel

Hello @unsung welcome to the Kingdom!!!! *waves* We’re SO thrilled to have you here!!! I’m Issabelle, but feel free to call me Is or Issa or any other nickname you come up with – it’s much quicker to spell, lol. And fantasy is one of the best genres ever!! *high fives*

@maryg3 Hey, Mary!! From what I’ve gathered about the bit you shared, it seems your book’s overarching main focal theme is about finding your place in life. (Did I get it right? 😂) So for my personal opinion, I think it’s really great to have more than one message in a story!!! I mean, we as people are so complex and learn so many different…[Read more]

@power Whoa, that poem was AMAZING and really touching!! I loved it! THANK YOU for sharing it with us!! It reminded me of the lyrics from TobyMac’s song Scars. “It doesn’t matter who you are, this world goin’ leave some battle scars.”

@godlyfantasy12

This might not be the best advice by a long shot, but you seem like you’re REALLY in love with the idea of bringing them back. Like I can just feel how much you love this idea and your excitement to write it. And I guess for me, that’s the best reason to follow through with the idea! It’s your story at the end of the day, and if…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

AAAAH IT’S SO AWESOME TO SEE YOU HERE DENALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *waves*  AND YES I HAVE FINALLY FOUND ANOTHER WHO SHARES MY OBSESSIVE LOVE OF MEDIEAVAL WEAPONRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *high fives*

@Denali-christianson You don’t have to add other skin tones etc. if, say, all of the characters in the story come from the same place. Look at how the world is separated. Yes, in America and a bunch of other places there’s mixed ethnicity all over the place, but for the longest time the light-skinned people were mostly concentrated in Europe,…[Read more]

@denali-christianson Trust me, he doesn’t deserve it. I mean, if he becomes a good guy later in the show (which is extremely unlikely) I’ll be like “That guy? Really?” but maybe I’ll forgive him a little. He’s just…Selfish. And he left his most loyal follower/lackey to die, and then NOT AN HOUR AFTERWARD destroyed the city the aforementioned…[Read more]

@denali-christianson All righty then! Also, sad for who? Him or me?

Is it ok if the characters on here are from fanfics–like characters I created for a specific world that wasn’t mine? Or do only original characters count?

Also, the thing about the outer ramparts…. Funny story, there’s a villain in one of my favorite TV shows whose last name is Rampart (I have no idea why), and whenever I hear the word in…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

Thank you! I also love yours!

Snooping on your conversation. I have heard Peter Hollen’s Misty Mountains! Have you heard the covers of Tolkiens various poems and songs by Clamavi De Profundis?! Their Lament of the Rohirrim and Boromirs song are sooo cool. (You’re a Tolkien fan I’m guessing. What’s your favourite book? C…[Read more]

@power

Of course 😜

Haha. Love it!

Thanks for the poetry swap it’s been fun! Wait I’m supposed to send one more then we’re even.

Hmmm let’s see…

Dancing Lights

The great Northern Lights

Are soaring in the heights.

Like many dancing

Their hues are flashing.

Sweeping, swirling, running,

Changing with each second passing.

With each seco…[Read more]

Hmm, it looks like it got rid of the formatting. I did have spaces between the verses…

@power Love it!! It’s so mystrious and imagination-provoking… *sighs*

I’m glad you liked it!

Okay and here’s another (I suppose we could go on for a long time. YOu don’t know what you signed up for 😉)

Waves

There’s a mystery in the ocean’s tide.

As it floats so deep, so far, so wide

And stirs something deep inside.

Something so deep it…[Read more]

@unsung I’m glad I got you on here 😉 Looks like you’re having fun already!

@godlyfantasy12 Ah, yes. Killing off a character, and then bringing them back. Happened to me. Poor Howzer, sacrificing himself to kill a villain. I’m not sure why, but I started feeling bad about killing him off and had his friend Feather pull off a crazy plan to bring him back. Which worked. Maybe that was a bad idea, because now he and two of…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I don’t remember who the other one was, but yep–that was Wrecker, complaining about not blowing stuff up! And yes, I love those characters too–in my mind, it’s too hard not to…..

@elfwing Same, I have over a thousand songs in my playlist. Mostly whole soundtracks with Christian music scattered throughout.
