No, the past examples were a part of the finale which included both the Create-Your-Own trinity as well as something called the Testament Trinity (in which you would talk about why you should be in the finale etc.).
In this one, we're just focusing on the Create-your-own aspect.
In this trinity, I’m showing the three characteristics of the number I’ve chosen which is “1”.
Trinity 1
We all know that 1 is considered to be the first counting number unless you start counting with 0 . With that said, it represents the beginning. Beginning is defined to be the first part or section of something, or the place where it starts. In other words, beginning is like the birth, the rise, the genesis, and something more related to it.
Owl City - Verge ft. Aloe Blacc
This song best fits the beginning characteristic of the number 1 cause it tackles about being out of the verge of a previous chapter of your life and begins with another chapter. The song is more focused on life after graduation so it’s like the beginning of new life as a newly improved person.
This song taught us that we must not waste any time we had to finish something as new beginning is coming upon us. It’s like climbing up a mountain and get tired in the middle of the expedition. If we decided to go back down, then we will fail to reach the finish of what we have started and with that, we will not be able to start with something fresh like climbing up a higher mountain for our next expedition. Another example is a seed. Once it grows, it will become a tree and will bear fruits. It will drop some of its fruits and the tree will die in sometime. Though, the seed from the fallen fruit will grow and will become a tree as time pass by. It’s like a cycle of life. In other words, don’t be afraid for something to end because for every end, there are new beginnings that are waiting upon us and maybe it could be better than the previous one.
Trinity 2
Another representation of the number 1 is Victory. A victory is a win. In sports or war, one side usually achieves victory. If you've ever won anything, you've achieved a victory: being successful in some kind of contest, sport, or battle. The winners of elections, football games, chess matches, debates, and scholarships all have won impressive victories. In war, there's victory too. People who overcome a disease such as cancer also consider that a victory.
Panic! at the Disco - Victorious
This song best fits the victorious characteristic of the number 1 because it tackles about being victorious in many different ways like winning a match, breaking up with your unwanted girlfriend, winning a lottery or even helping someone who’s in trouble and gets recognized for heroism. This song is focused on being victorious in disguise, that every victory is not about winning, it’s about succeeding and improving.
This song taught us that not all victory is about being crowned as a champion but also being victorious is something that will make ourselves to learn more and apply it to our lives. As we apply it in our lives, we will be able to improve ourselves and finally succeed on something we dreamt of. When we lose, don’t be ashamed of yourself because you will not learn anything and will not be victorious without committing any mistakes and failures in life. There will be a right time for us to finally win our own battles in life. Also, every good thing we’re doing should be counted as a victory because it improves not only us but also those who gain benefit on it. When someone forgot their wallet and you saw it and you give it back completely, then you are victorious. When someone is drowning and you tried to save him, then you are victorious. When you bought chips in the grocery and paid for the right amount, then you’re victorious. Every good deed is victorious.
Trinity 3
Individuality also fits to represent number 1. Individuality refers to the sum total of characteristics that make up a particular individual. Individuality consists of the good, the bad, and even the crazy, that make a person distinct. The word can be describe the state or value of being unique, like the members of a group whose individuality makes for lively discussions, or a having your car painted a special color or something just to express the owner's individuality. Individuality is like being one of a kind.
WALK THE MOON - Different Colors
This song best fits the individuality or the being unique characteristic of the number 1 because it tackles about us being in different colors. It’s like you’re the red one, I’m the blue one and he’s the yellow one. Once we get together, we can create a beautiful scenario of colors. Our color represents our uniqueness or our “one of a kind” characteristic. And as we get along with the unique personality of others, we create a wonderful memory with them.
This song taught us that it doesn’t matter if we have something in different with the others because it doesn’t only give us the feeling of being unique but also the happiness that we are seeking of with the others. Worry not when someone doesn’t like your uniqueness because it’s you and it’s him. You don’t need to forcefully fit yourself into his color just to be friends with or something. It’s like blending blue and orange which is something vague of color in result. Just stick with your own color and you’ll find someone like a friend or a lover who will match perfectly with yours in the right time.

Streaming music is the future.
With that in mind, having access to hundreds of thousands of songs helps the ease of creating playlists for any occasion. For my trinity, I wanted to expand on the idea of creating playlists and look into how we could make a trinity of songs that could fit into a playlist! This could definitely be used for a future season of this game, particularly in an early round since it challenges the player to make a cohesive entry but allows for a lot of creativity - you could make a playlist for working out, for studying, road trips etc. However, for my specific example, I'm looking at making a playlist for a...
In this trinity I have separated a birthday party into three components, each having a song that represents that part thematically, while still working as a whole playlist for the party.
The first stage of the birthday party is setting it up. Here is where you put together the fun decorations and get ready to invite all of your friends to mingle and enjoy themselves. For that reason, I chose a light and fun song that has a feel-good sound. Katy Perry's "Birthday" is honestly perfect for this since it has that breezy pop feel, with a memorable hook that can set the mood nicely. Picture this as the first song you play for your birthday playlist as its light and fun, not too upbeat, but definitely not slow, and can lead into other songs nicely.
After people settle in and everyone is together, its time for the desserts! For this sweet part of the party, there is no better voice than Mariah Carey. Her song "Fantasy" continues the streak of light and fun pop songs that are just incredibly enjoyable and catchy. This song is such a perfect throwback jam, almost everyone knows it and is very likely to sing along. The lyrics are all about sweetness and, well, fantasy, and that is the perfect sound for the middle section of the playlist.
Finally, its time to enjoy the party and let loose a little. For that reason I chose a surprisingly cool banger that I actually hadn't heard before - Selena Gomez's "Birthday". It goes HARD and the chanting of "tell em that its my birthday" is almost hypnotic. I can definitely picture this song as a party staple since its simultaneously sexy and flirty, yet also perfectly upbeat. This is the perfect "conclusion" to this playlist sampler because it allows you to lead into your other favourite bangers for the dance floor.

In this round, you’ll be creating a trinity around a drug. Choose a mind-altering illicit substance from the list provided, and pick three songs relating to its effects, the culture surrounding it, or whatever else comes to mind. As I always say, be creative!
Marijuana
Cocaine Ecstasy
Heroin
LSD

Ecstasy: A Narrative
So you’re out on the town with an assorted group of friends, acquaintances, and assorted people that you really want to earn the approval of. One of them discreetly reveals his stash of molly to the rest of the group, and offers you a pill. He seems like a cool guy, and you want him to think the same of you, so you oblige.
At first, you don’t feel much of anything, aside from a mild tingling sensation. For the first thirty minutes, you’re just left wondering what all the fuss is about.
Then it hits you. Hard. And not in a good way.

city in a garden
Welcome to Singapore! Since its independence in 1965, the Singapore government has always envisioned the city to be full of luscious greenery. To work towards this goal, plenty of conservation efforts and developments have been rolled out. The Singapore today is indeed overflowing with green beauty to the extent that it has been given the name "City in a Garden". The natural landscape surrounds the towering skyscrapers and bustling business districts here. Shopping streets are often embellished with vibrant flowers and shrubs. Even in suburban neighborhoods, the nearest park is just a stone's throw away. In the fast-paced society of Singapore, people here may feel distressed because of work or school easily. With extensive greenery in place, one can conveniently step into a nearby garden and immerse themselves in nature to recharge themselves. This is parallel with the song "Waterloo Sunset" where the singer talks about the downsides of living in a busy city such as overcrowding and noise population. However, when gazing at the beautiful sunset at Waterloo Bridge, he feels rejuvenated once again.
the food paradise
Eating is often said to be the second national pastime of Singaporeans and as a Singaporean myself, I have to agree with this statement! We all love to eat and people always wonder why. The variety of foods available in Singapore is amazingly extensive. This is largely due to the fact that Singapore is a multicultural society itself, hence food here typically comprise a spread of local cuisines (Chinese, Malay and Indian) fused together into one authentic Singaporean dish. In many eateries, even foreign cuisines such as Japanese, French and American can be found, though often with a dash of local flavor. The best place to satisfy your taste buds would be the hawker centres found in every corner of the city. A hawker centre is a complex which houses many food stalls under one roof. The food complex is a huge icon of Singaporean culture as you cannot find such a unique set-up in any other country in the world. Food is often priced reasonably and a wide array of hearty and delicious Singaporean must-trys can be found in a typical hawker centre.
As Blondie once said, eat to the beat!
united against our differences
"We're a rainbow of a thousand colors lighting up the sky."
Singapore may be a small country, but we are a melting pot of numerous races and religions. The interesting thing about Singapore is that despite our differences in skin color, ideologies and beliefs, we are able to come together as one Singapore and embrace diversity. People are generally tolerant and accepting of one another and racial tensions are almost zero. There isn't any major racial or religious divide in the country and everyone is happy liviing this small island. Racial harmony is something many Singaporeans take pride in. We are very pleased to let everyone know that we are living harmoniously in spite of our differences. Singapore is able to foster this strong community spirit partly because the majority of Singporeans live in housing flats where a racial policy is in play. To address the issue on communal clustering, the government established ethic quotas for each flat to ensure a better racial mix in neighborhoods. Hence, many Singaporeans of the new generation grow up with neighbors and classmates of different races and learn more about other cultures as a result.
What's better to end off a Singapore trinity with a true blue Singaporean song right? As propagandistic as it sounds, we have national songs every year to celebrate our Independence Day. I picked a song which particularly speaks on unity to bring across my point.
Quote:
I was looking through the past seasons and noticed there is a diverse mix of nationalities across the winners. We have Holy Trinities with players from Lithuania, Singapore, Colombia, Romania, Netherlands, Australia and more. So I wondered, why not have a round where players will have to introduce their country to the judges in the form of an entry?
Sexy
There are so many cultures that represent, people, places, countries etc.... This can be Gay Culture, American Culture, Football Culture, Art Culture any cultre as long as it's culture
I Chose to do a trinity on british culture and things britain is known for or does
Brits just love going to the pub even when we are skint (poor) we love to go down to the pub, get a few drinks actually not a few more like drink ourselves away. It’s a place to catch up with the lads and lay back.
Although not a British song this song was extremely popular in the uk and is a part of British culture. This song was played a lot during the Football (soccer) season, when a winning team had won and everyone would head down to the pub. i also chose this theme because whilst listening to it you can take yourself to the plase where everyone is united together.
mostly filled with white males, pubs welcome every race and gender. Going to a Pub can be a time to remise about the good old days and catch up with old friends and meet new friends; Also to declare how much you love Britain with a good old fashioned sing-song. The jolliness of this song and the flaring trumpets get the people in the pub going as they join hands acting like drunken happy fools whilst the music is blaring through the speakers. This song also encourages everyone to everyone to sing along.
i remember when i was 5 my dad took me to the pub (yea kids are allowed in certain pubs lol, with an adult ofc). the whole room and this song was playing. The room was lively it was full of high spirits and energy, everyone had their arms around each others shoulders and in the other hand Larger/Beer and for that day it seemed like everyone just forgot about their daily troubles got together and welcomed everyone despite sexuality, gender, race etc… pubs represent unity. The chanting emulated a football stadium just beautiful British people united.
….yea we are a Fickle bunch i think us brits are the most fickle nations. Even the weather is quite fickle. We preach about unity but
Katy Perry says it best “you change your mind like a girls changes clothes,…. you’re a yes then no” this song is more about lyrical content. we love to cheer celebrities and people on but once things start to go wrong we change our minds with a snap of our finger. Even though we’re fickle and we know it’s bad; we somehow celebrate this and call ourselves fickle Britain, because we we love love to hate and be moody and we just can't seem to make up our mind on things.
and don’t get me started on our ever changing weather
The monarchy are a big bart of British culture whether you like them or not they’re big and you can’t escape them. for the people that do like the queen they really do love the queen, if you say one bad thing about the queen they will shun you this agressive rock song with lyrics spouting “God save the queen we mean it man” represents the passion many will have for the queen even though the song even though the song is an anti queen song. many brits that are passionate about the queen and the royal family will have collect merchandise and plates containing images of the royal family that’s how passionate they are. this song is quite conflicting it has the messages “god save the queen” but it’s an anti monachy song the conflicting ideas also represent how Britain is decided on their opinions of the royal family most love and adore them and some resent them or just don’t like them there is no in-between.
We were so damn close to not going over the character limit aldsfjsdlka. Bomb's entry in the next post.
Welcome back to the twentieth season of ATRL's Holy Trinity. For this challenge you
will be basing your trinity around a holiday. It can be any, regardless if it is celebrated
worldwide or not. You can base your entry on how you perceive the holiday, a special (or not so special) memory about a holiday or do something creative! As always, if you
have questions don't pm me; I don't have an answer for you. Good luck!

The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday, celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, where families celebrate and prepare altars, fully stocked with food, as tribute to their deceased love ones. During these two days the dead is able to, once again, exist alongside the living. Sadly, good spirits aren’t the only ones allowed to return.
“We are awakened with the axe
Night of the living dead at last
They have begun to shake the dirt
Wiping their shoulders from the earth”
Even, the nefarious spirits can lurk the shadows and seek living souls to drag down with them. These were once people who caused others agony and despair. Their victims once thought death had freed them of their wicked grasp, but it only made their grip that much more ferocious.
“I don't want to rest in peace
I'd rather be the ghost that annoys you
I hope you can make me laugh
Six feet down when we're bored of each other”
Regardless, of how much someone prepares they will always find you. Like a lioness in the savannah they pursue and wait for the perfect time to strike. They will taunt you and fill your last moments with pure terror. The most frightening part being, once you are chosen, there is nothing you can do.
¿Cuantas criaturitas / how many little ones
Se ha chupado usted? / have you drunk from?
Ninguna, ninguna / None, none
ninguna no sé / none, I don't know
ando en pretenciones / I just want to
de chuparme a usted / drink from you”
