Hiya there! I'm TheSultansScribe, or just TSS for short. Have a wonderful time while perusing my bio.

(Currently not interested in art commissions; though I am available for writing commissions.)

General Info, because why not!

Name: eh, do you really care? I'm assuming you don't.

Nationality: American.

Gender: Male.

More detailed info, because why not!

Personal chicanery? I do sure love me some history! Sports're pretty darn cool too! Have you even SEEN video games, man? No? You PLAY them? Oh, yeah, right. Mario and Luigi's my JAM, man. Persona 5, not too far off from that.

As a writer, I wish to only bedazzled and bewilder my readers in the whimsical and wowing worlds I craft with the way of the word, enthralling and enrapturing them into my stories with a sense of eagerness and passion for their satisfaction and enjoyment! Even a little provocative thought here and there.

At the same time, though, I still want them to be able to understand and digest my work in good faith!
As such,I try to maintain a balance of captivating literary detail while still not trying to come off as a total pompous smartass with my diction and storytelling, and, y'know, actually have my work be able to be read by someone who hasn't gone on Jeopardy fifty times over.
A delicate balance, sure, but one I try to uphold religiously nonetheless.

A scattered assortment of random usernames, social media chicanery, and the like.

Email: heartsofiron6(@gmail), if you wish to send me any mails of the electronic variety! With swiftness!

Steam: Amazingman, hit me up if you want to play some...yeah, Hoi4! Maybe!

Discord: I'maHistorian, #9515.

Twitter: Contrived Resident, or ContrivedWest. https://twitter.com/ContrivedWest

I'm CombinedSyndicates on there. https://www.fanfiction.net/~combinedsyndicates

Archive of Our Own: Hey, look, redundancy! Another site for works of literary prowess (hopefully!)
I'm TheSillyScriber on there, and I upload a lot of my work on there too, just so y'know!

Overland reviews
After years of stalemate, the Union has finally found a soldier strong-willed and sturdy of heart enough to challenge Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia's supremacy in the Civil War: Ulysses S. Grant, soon to be dubbed "the Butcher." Looking to break the deadlock, the Army of the Potomac marches off into Virginia, musing on the vicissitudes of war and the drama of the fighting.

Bellus Animae reviews
Deep into the sands of the desert in Roman Egypt, an Alexandrian scribe journeys by camel to the isolated alcove of a remarkable saint, and, inspired by the historical and religio-cultural tradition of the Egyptian land, conceives of the saint's mental warfare against demons within a hagiographical mindscape. Please, enjoy.

An Ode to Emperor Meiji
An ode to the man who steered Japan into modernity during the late 19th century, with all the bells and whistles of machine guns, steam engines and telegraph wires sweeping the nation into the Japanese Empire! And yet, it also celebrates a sense of continuity over time, as the wisdom of the past guides a nation's course in the present, and will sail it through murky future waters.

The Green of this World reviews
O how mystifying that particular shade of green is! Glistening along the palette with its green glow and green glamor, it seems to veil a world of possibility and growth behind its bright mystique, glazed upon the earth. Care to delve into the wonders of green with me, friend? A short, free-verse poem about the color green and nature. Enjoy!

The Red Hue of Haymarket Square reviews
In an America embroiled in the all-encompassing inequities of the Gilded Age, a teenager's vicious account of a Chicago riot comes to color the class tensions of the era. An ode to peaceful demonstration comes crashing down as bodies tangle and lives are lost, as violence becomes the only means to salvation. Contains light gore. Enjoy.

The Star of David
At the precipitous onset of June 6, 1944, there lies the souls of the 52nd Infantry Battalion of the U.S. Army. Pondering their soon-to-be, sure-to-be gruesome deaths at the hands of the Germans, and fate itself. But for one soldier, however, there is hope to be found in the most unlikely of places. Precious.

The Mental Seaport: An Essay on Speech reviews
Speech, the bridge between one's mental plane and the realm of reality. Often overlooked and perhaps taken for granted in our everyday lives, but none the more essential to our lives in its enabling of the commerce of thoughts and ideas between people. A short, somewhat flowery essay on speech. Done for a project, as well. Enjoy, if you so desire!

O, the Tides of Time
My first ever sonnet! A bit rough and jagged on the edges, along with some hopefully interesting wordage; a mix of bad and good times, as the poem is about, eh! In Iambic Heptameter for the most part, though with some seven-foot lines as well. I hope you enjoy!

Podium Pandemonium!
There's some serious pandemonium on the political podium! A short, light-hearted theatrical satire on American political (presidential) debates and politics in general, made in the style of Eugene Ionescu's "The Bald Soprano". Fashioned out of a school project! So don't expect professional-quality or anything, but hey, I hope it's somewhat enjoyable and entertaining nonetheless!
