A magical land
bearing a shielded man
whom a Y succeeds.
Then a XY
who leaps with joy
at the sight of hope-
A hope never seen before.
I am a king, altogether.
Despair!

Ahaha thanks - I feel like I should have provided the colour codes from the get-go since they're not exactly common as far as colours go, but that was an unfortunate by-product of a restrictive wordlist
Okay, I think we discussed this on meta, but @SohaFarhinPine You are allowed to make as many number of edits as you want, but please don't make edits every minute.
After good response received for my last movie rebus puzzle and in the lights of Fortnightly Topic Challenge #26: Rebus, here is my another set of movie rebus.
Have fun solving. And all suggestions are welcome.
@AJ Sure, year-month-day can often be useful for computers. If you name your folders with dates in that order, they'll automatically be arranged right if you order them alphabetically.
10/4 would be tenth of April to me too, and amusingly it's the 100th day in the year so I was led down the garden path by that. Having said that, if I see an ambiguous date in a puzzle I just sort of try both interpretations anyway.
@Randal'Thor Well, in yours, I'm pretty sure 'Free' means anagrams, and 'blind mice' is possibly 'mce' (without an 'eye'). So it might be an anagram of 'mce+[with spirit]' resulting in something that means 'bound', but I can't think of anything. It doesn't work with short drinks like gin and ale.
And the second line could possibly start in Mic (Mice without their tails) and be something like Micro (since you mentioned inch), but I have no idea why.
And in Bailey's rebus: I think it might be based on obscure shade names. The 1st one seems like gunpowder, since that shade is Powder Blue. And the 3rd one could be 'back to square one' since... it has ck and a square. :/ Again, I'm kinda stuck. The shade seems to be banana.
And the X is actually a slightly different shade, though it's identical to the one in 'Suc'. Could be something with 'cess' (Excess, Success), but that's just a wild guess. As is the fact that the ISA shade looks like a rose and relate to 'A rose is a rose is a rose', but now I'm really clutching at straws ;)
Anyway, I hope any of this helps. Or it could be complete rubbish. Either way ;)
@Sp3000 Could be, but OP did say it's the easiest one ;)
Posted, but the last bit seems a bit weird. The successor of Isabella I (of Castille) appears to be Joanna (of Castille), but I don't see how that's thematic (if it's intended to be thematic)
A very loose (MICE-I)* + ENT. But "blind" for removing I is weird, I don't know enough Tolkien to tell whether Ents are spirits and cement <-> bound is a tense mismatch

Can you help to solve it?
@Sp3000 @Randal'Thor I too considered CEMENT and rejected it because an ent isn't a spirit and "cement" kinda means "bind" but doesn't mean "bound". Oh well.
For my first question here, let's start cool with a little sketch.
No, it's no hard brainstorming, no, it's not a revolution, yes, I had to start with something :)
The last century was spent squaring the square. What about triangulating (triangling?) the triangle?
It's impossible to do with no repetitions, but possible if we use pairs of up-down equal triangles.
But here I want something different. We can use as many copies of the same triangle as we want...
@Sp3000 @Gareth @Rubio For the avoidance of doubt, CEMENT is the intended answer to the first line. Sorry about the tense problem. I seem to recall I had a sneaky explanation for why it's actually OK, but if so I've forgotten it. Any suggestions for how to improve that line?
@Rubio It's stupid and hard to form paragraphs without ASCII point sixty-four plus what fifty is with last digit cut off, but you can do such a thing. A human did a book doing a similar thing but in a thing humans in a country that is first south of Britain talk with.
That took a bit of hours to post...
Though, it was fun! :)
Can a human who is not who I am join in too? It's a good difficult thing to do! :D
@boboducknoise Conversely, maybe even harder, attempt ensuring every letter-collection includes one, perhaps more, E instance. There's the new interesting puzzler exercise - everyone welcome, please help participate.
NOTICE: true story ahead, you can skip it if you want and go straight to the puzzle
I was reading a book when a scrap of paper fell out. Looking at it, I realised that there was a code on it. Now before you get all excited about hidden treasure and stuff, I instantly recognised my brother's hand...
@boboquack Not only that, but that book was brought into Anglo-Saxon words in a way that was consonant (ha!) with its original limit -- not a solitary fifth sign in "A Void", just as no fifth sign could be found in "La Disparition". Amazing!
@GarethMcCaughan Indeed, quite extraordinary feat. Maybe even the greater impressiveness over the French "Disappearance". Write excluding E, yeah; translate excluding E, preserving meaning - surely nearly unmanageable!
Restricting one's lexicon the way Time Wheel Name describes seems somewhat easier. The little lexical items -- prepositions, especially -- are the biggest trouble source. Neither appears hugely more problematic.
I don't really like any of "manner", "mode", "method" -- all suggest a definite way of proceeding rather than a mere limitation of the possible outcomes. (Note: every word in the foregoing sentence -- and even in this one -- obeys one of the two restrictions we have been discussing.)
