#Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee

[zarinaa113]

So if Ani’s Aunt has a name, Nettla, than she must have a second name. (Ala, Calib-Loncris, Napralina-Victery, Susena-Ofelienna, Rianno-Hancery) And this gives us leave to come up with names for Ani’s mom, Queen of Kildenree.

A Kildenreen tradition is giving your children names after their grandparents, (Talianna-Isilee being Nettla and Queenie’s mom) So also feel free to come up with Ani’s great-grandma’s names to give Nettla and Queenie full Kildenreen names!.

Put ideas in the tags if you want!

Is there a Goose Girl/Books of Bayern fandom? I have no idea but if you’re out there here have this

This Day Aria (that one MLP song that actually kinda slaps) as Selia and Ani is actually perfect

What would your OCs dress up as for Halloween 👁

Ooooooh that's a GOOD one. Jill would, without a doubt, dress up as her dad. Which would be really funny

Griffith and Riley would DOMINATE at Halloween. He can turn into a wolf, she can shift her physical features and whatnot-- they would KICK BUTT. Their costumes would vary from year to year, so it would depend on if they wanted their costumes to match. If they did.... either the White Witch and Maugrim, or some random but insanely iconic human duo. If they wore individual costumes, Griffith would very likely be the Darkling or Merrick the Monstrous from Race To The Bottom Of The Sea, and Riley would be either Raya from the Disney movie or a Star Wars character

Rebecca would be either Rapunzel or a book character no one else had heard of, like Princess Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee. Oh or Sophie Hatter just because

Alyth and Anton would either go as Anne and Gilbert or as Yzma and Kronk

Who would your characters go as?

Geric smile, amused. "Princess Anidori-Kiladra" A cold tickle burst in [Ani's] stomach at Geric speaking her own name. "You've met her, of course, being the prince's guard." "Yes, I have. Before she came, the prince took to pacing the floor while trying to memorize her name. Princess Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee. They take the names of their grandmothers there--Talianna, Isilee. Nice sentiment, though it makes for a long name." Ani coughed, feeling self-conscious of the name Isi and quickly said, "Shouldn't a princess have a long name, just as she should have a long life?" "Yes, I suppose." He flung one stray blade of grass her way. She picked it up and ran her finger up its smooth side. "She's lovely and graceful and witty and courtly, and all that a princess should be." Geric shrugged, and he no longer smiled. "But there was some darkness with her arrival. I didn't know that relations were so drawn between the two countries, but they're more tenuous than I think anyone'd thought." Yes, thought Ani, because Kildenree wishes to be left alone and the Bayern greedily cut through the mountains. She wondered if her city would ever be safe. She doubted that even were she to eventually marry Bayern's prince that their alliance could bind this country to peace, this country where they hanged their dead criminals on the walls and only honored a man who carried a javelin and shield. She was a goose girl and thought perhaps she should not know of such things as maps and borders and war." --The Goose Girl, Shannon Hale (189-190)

[booksinfact]

Having thoroughly enjoyed The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale, here are a few things I have to say about it:

One: It is slow, EXTREMELY slow. Like Ani, you will spend a lot of time immersed in this world of talking geese and horses. A big part of the book is also about Ani’s relationships with her co-workers – the other milk girls, horse boys, etc.


Two: There aren’t a lot of fantasy elements to the story except for Ani’s unique ability to talk to birds. So if you’re looking for a fast-paced, action-packed magic story, The Goose Girl is not it.


Three: Ani is not the “girl-boss” you see in fantasies nowadays; in fact, she’s a complete doormat in the beginning. Her journey focuses on her gradual understanding towards the working people whom she has a the duty to serve and protect.
Ani’s development is subtly done through her everyday interactions with the other characters. There no big feminism… men-smashing moment (or whatever “strong” means these days); instead, you get girl-empowerment sprinkled on the story here and there.


Some other notable things:


The little romance between Ani and er… Sir Guard is one of the most wholesome and healthy relationship you’ve every seen. Partly because it takes up about 10% of the story and doesn’t drag.
The villains of this book? Yes, they’re scary enough.

And did I mention that this book is slow?

characters i love: Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee (The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale)

But had the queen ever told a nursery story to a room of captivated listeners? Or handled fifty head of geese? Ani smiled at the thought, and then she surprised herself by feeling proud. I’ve done that much. What more can I do?

Modern AU Headcanons: Isi 1

- Falada is Isi’s car. Isi’s broken-down old car that only she knows how to drive. All her friends are terrified of riding in it, and they all think that Isi loves the car more than them.

-Isi dreads visits home because her mother is always telling her what she’s doing wrong in life. Her siblings feel bad for her, especially Calib, but they never try to interfere because they don’t want their mother to turn on them.

-Her favorite Disney princess is either Cinderella or Rapunzel.

-Napralina comes to visit her for weeks at a time during the summer

-She still loves animals, and her first job when she left home was at a ranch, owned by Geric’s family.

-She loves romance movies, and always makes Enna watch them with her. Enna pretends to hate them, but secretly loves it. Razo teases her mercilessly about this.

The Goose Girl, Enna Burning, and River Secrets book reviews

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

The Goose Girl

The Goose Girl is about Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee, Crown Princess of Kildenree. She is also known as Ani or Isi.

When Ani's mother tells her that she is marrying the prince of Bayern to make peace, Ani must embark on a journey. But a beytrayal awaits her, and now she is the goose girl...

I LOVED this. Five stars. It made me cry when I finished it.

Enna Burning

Enna is Isi's best friend. Enna’s brother, Leifer, has…fire powers. There is a war against Tira and Bayern, and as the queen’s maiden, Enna must go to the battle site. Leifer also fights. But he dies.

Enna realizes she must learn how to use the fire to help Bayern. She practices every day. One night, when she is going to practice, riding her horse Merry, she gets kidnapped by a Tiran camp.

She is stuck in the camp for a long time dazed because of the drug, and tired. Her friends save her, however, and she uses her powers to destroy the Tiran camp.

When she realizes that the fire is consuming her, and she and Isi try to get rid of it, will she need to sacrifice herself? Or will they find another way?

I also loved this. The characters were so deep. Five stars.

River Secrets

This is about Razo, Isi's other friend. The Bayern ambassador is going to Tira to make peace. But burned bodies and a certain girl with red hair that Razo may or may not like make his journey a lot more interesting...

Razo becomes a spy for Bayern. But when he finds out who's been burning the bodies, can he prove himself to his captain? And his family?

This was by far my FAVORITE book in the series so far. 100/5 stars. Incredible.

Tagged by the lovely @drinkingdeadpeopletea ! I’ll tag in @soullistrations, @fivie, @charliesdayoff, @kookaburrito, and @walkthegale - haven’t got time to come up with a full 10, so anyone else who wants to join in, go for it!

Name ten favorite characters from ten different things (books, tv, film, etc.) then tag ten people. [Do different Star Trek series count?? Hmm.] I also added special mentions for the top five, since I couldn’t truly choose.

1. Beauregard from Critical Role - I loved Beau from her first words, and that love has only strengthened with time. A person who believes they are not good while trying SO DESPERATELY to be, her reckless disdain at the beginning of the show reminded me of who I used to want to be, and her hard-won trust with her teammates reminded me that there are gentler, more freeing paths to take. Plus, she’s given me an avenue to explore things in fic writing I’ve never been able to before, because I so rarely encounter lesbian characters in fiction, let alone ones who are (soft) butch, with short hair and strength and an absence of apologies to those who don’t deserve them. She inspires me in so many ways.

Special mention: Fjord

2. Garak from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Though he only shows up in a handful of episodes, I think Garak’s introduction is instrumental in setting the tone for DS9 apart from the other series. In many ways, he’s emblematic of the ambiguity of the show, where morals are not so clear cut and every person may be playing two sides without truly being dishonest in either. He’s also just a genuine joy to watch - charismatic, witty, biting, as queer as you were allowed to be on network tv in 1993 (”I need to know that someone forgives me”, goddamn it Garak/Bashir will always be the true OTP of my heart)

Special mention: Kira

3. Fem!Shepard from Mass Effect - We can debate the ending till the cows come home (and god knows I was as unhappy as the rest of you) but Mass Effect took me on a journey, y’all. And most of that journey is filtered through the eyes of Shepard, the intrepid naval commander and saviour of the universe. It’s so incredibly rare that I’ve gotten to play a video game with a female protagonist who actually has such a vibrant personality, all the more so because I got to help shape that personality through my actions. She was one of the few video game protagonists PERIOD I’ve ever came out of the game feeling like I truly understood. When the final goodbyes happened, I felt her pain, because I’d watched and lived her struggle for three games, and felt the gravity of all her actions up till that point, both ‘good’ and ‘bad’. She was a fully-realized creation.

Special mention: Garrus

4. Magnus Burnsides from TAZ - On paper, I would have expected Taako to become my favourite character of THB. And I do still love him dearly, but Magnus’s simple and constant drive to be good, to be better, to be a light of positivity and love in the world captured my heart like no other.

Special mention: Taako

5. Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh! - Oh look, it’s a villain-turned-antihero with an asshole father who swears he doesn’t care about the gang but still manages to  always (reluctantly) put his life on the line when it really matters. All I’m saying is Zuko had a predecessor and he had twice the sass despite being just as dumb - seriously, his 4kids dub dialog is top notch. I was obsessed with this stubborn child-billionaire when I was 10 (and 13, and 17, and 21 and let’s be real, I will be til I die).

Special mention: Ryou Bakura

6. Sam Tyler from Life on Mars (UK) - Never has an actor’s performance on a TV show given me so many heart palpitations as John Simm’s portrayal of Sam Tyler, the time-travelling detective stuck in 1973 Britain after being hit by a car in 2006. His angst over the situation was visceral, despite the relatively silly premise, and his decisions in the final episode landed me in a fog of emotional processing for days after I finished the series. 

7. Bones from Star Trek TOS - (I’m ruling it counts as different shhh). Bones is everything. Probably the first fictional character I remember deciding was my “favourite”, back when I was a kid still watching old Star Trek episodes on VHS. Wry humour mixed with a depth of humanity and just a whole heaping helping of curmudgeonliness, what a great guy.

8. Makise Kurisu from Steins;Gate - MY SCIENCE GIRL. Incredibly smart, both in terms of academics and emotional intelligence and despite her all-too-relatable struggles as a woman not receiving her due respect in academia, she always manages to keep pushing forward, driving the rest of the crew towards the truth in any timeline. Just, the coolest person.

9. Marcus Keane from The Exorcist - Give me all that good queer religious angst! It hurts! It’s relatable! I need more! Marcus is a man who deeply wants to do the right thing with layers upon layers of guilt and pain stacked on top of his shoulders. I want only for him to finally be able to rest.

10. Ani from The Goose Girl - From one of my favourite books of all time, Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee is a princess with magic that lets her to talk to animals, which I mean, come on. But it’s was her journey that really had a big influence on me when I was a kid. I loved her for the way she was written, as admirable and imperfect and magical without realizing it, strong and self-reliant but only after learning how to be. The amazing prose by Shannon Hale is just the cherry on top.

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH AND I RECENTLY REREAD IT FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME I LOVE IT SO MUCH YOU HAVE TO READ IT!!!!!!!!!!

I got into Shannon Hale’s books when I was about 10 and I’ve loved them ever since. They’ve probably shaped my taste in books. The books of Bayern though. Wow. I idolize them. They are literally on a pedestal in my room.

This one, the first in the series, is a twist on the old tale of the goose girl. That tale is about a princess who is betrayed by her lady in waiting and becomes a goose girl in the kingdom to which she was travelling. The goose boy, Conrad, sees her golden hair in the wind and tries to touch it but the wind keeps blowing his cap away just before he does. The princess eventually wins her throne back because all fairy tales have a happy ending!

Hale’s twist on the tale is that everything used to be able to talk to each other and so it is possible to learn all the languages again. Anidori Kiladra Talianna Isilee, the princess, knows this and throughout the story gains the ability to talk to the wind. There are many cultures in this series that are extremely different from ours and one another. The detail that Hale incorporates is fantastic. You will be enthralled, I promise. If not, well, you’re lying or you haven’t read the book properly. In the latter case, you NEED TO READ THE BOOK!
