Nicknames your characters can use for each other~

Poppie note: It's been a long time since I wrote any writing aid. I was looking for unique nicknames for fanfic, and realised how much I had to search, so here is your go-to guide.

Casual: babe, baby, sweetheart, sweetie

Reader's favourite: love, darling, angel, my queen/king/highness, hubby/wifey/ so, princess

Reflective#1: Use nicknames that match the other person's appearance or personality (DO NOT MAKE IT OFFENSIVE)

Eg: short-stuff, Goldie(Golden retriever energy), blondie,

Reflective#2: tells about the speaker's personality

(Someone Agressive may call the other person): idiot, dumbass, stupid etc.

Cute nicknames: Doe, Kitty, Kitten, Cupcake, Guppy, Munchkin, Pookie, Dove, Flower, My star

Content dependant nicknames:

(These may sound creepy, cute or hot depending upon the context)

Little one

Little Dove

Fragile flower

Kitten

Pest

Shortening names: Jamie for Jameson, Binnie or Bin-Bin for Hanbin, Sam for Samantha

Nicholasnames: (making names longer affectionately): Cherrisma for Cherry, Parineeti for Pari

Foreign nicknames

This is one trick I personally use, and it works like a charm. Especially if the other character doesn't know the language and then they get to know what the word means later on.

Mon Chaton (french)--------------->my kitten

Mon Cheri (french) ----------------->my dear

Mi amor(Spanish)----------------->my love

Prēya (Hindi)------------------------->Dear

Hase(german)------------------------>Bunny

Dorogaya(Russian)------------------>Sweetheart

Nae Sarang (korean):--------------->my love

Yeobo (Korean)----------------------->Honey

Jaan/Jān (Hindi/Arabic/Urdu)-->(My) Life

Querido/a (Spanish)----------------->darling

Habibi (Arabic)----------------------> darling

Milashka (Russian)-----------------> Cutie

Mia bellezza (Italian)---------------> my beauty

Overcoming Writer’s Block

- Write 50 words of whatever it is you’re working on. That’s about 3 sentences — not too much of a commitment, but still requires some creative thought. It’s likely you’ll end up writing more, because once you’ve started, you naturally keep going. Even if not, if you do this a few times a day, you’ll at least be making progress.

- When you finish writing a section, stop mid-sentence. Sounds weird, I know, but it worked for Hemingway. After finishing the scene/chapter/etc. that you’re working on, write the first few lines of the next one, then stop part way through a sentence. This almost always makes it easy to start again when you keep writing later.

- Without actually writing, imagine yourself in a character’s position and go through the scene in your head. I find this especially effective when walking (either actually going for an outside walk or just pacing around aimlessly). This way, you’ll get a better sense of what you want to happen in the scene you’re trying to write, in more detail than is probably in your outline, without the pressure of having to think through things like word choice and sentence structure. Once you’ve essentially written the scene in your mind, it should be easier to write.

- Pick an important attribute about a character and focus on showing that in your scene. This not only helps direct your writing if you’re unsure what to do for a scene, but also benefits character development. I find this is particularly useful for scenes or chapters I’m struggling with because no big/dramatic events take place.

- Pick a random, slightly obscure word and try to use it in your scene or chapter. It forces you to think creatively as well as takes the focus slightly off whatever it is you’re struggling to write. By focussing instead on how to use the word, you’ll form the scene around it without overthinking as much about it or getting so caught up in thinking about how to write it that you don’t actually write it.

- Maybe don’t procrastinate by writing Tumblr posts about overcoming writer’s block…

Hi! I’m looking for more fics like The Eagles Nest, where D and H are working on a project together. Preferably 8th year/7th year return. Something where there is magical theory and research involved. Thank you!!

Blinded by the Walls by Khaisworld - not rated WIP - AU. Dramione 8th year fic.McGonagall puts in place “Therapy Sessions” where each student is assigned with another student to these sessions. However, due to a magical wall between them, the students don’t know who they have these sessions with. Hermione and Draco are assigned to be Therapy Partners.

Changes - wh0r3crux - E, WIP - Returning 8th year Slytherins are forced to take Muggle Studies as per their probation requirements. In an effort to bridge the gap between pure bloods and muggleborns, each participating pure blood student is partnered with a muggleborn for a tutor. As if that weren’t bad enough, guess who Draco Malfoy gets partnered with?

Capstone - bek_48 - M, 30 chapters - Seventh Year is upon them, and Hermione Granger has several priorities:

-Keep Harry and Ron out of trouble -Prepare for NEWTs -Grin and bear being partners on a year-long project with Draco Malfoy

Throw in an excessively vague prophecy, a scavenger hunt for some odd enchanted stones, and tracking down an escalating prankster, and she is sure to have her hands full, to say the least.

The Art of Adjustment - Mimifreed - M, one-shot - (DRAMIONE) It’s 8th year at Hogwarts and after the Battle, all students are required to take Muggle Studies. As a challenge to show that muggle skills are needed, the students are paired off and must complete a cooking project to pass! Hermione has this in the bag… at least, she thought so until she was paired with Draco Malfoy.

Title: All You Want Author: SenLinYu Rating: E Genre(s): Romance, Drama Chapters: 36 Word Count: 172,268 Summary: Eighth Year at Hogwarts was supposed to be Hermione’s. And it is, just not in the way she expects. Omegaverse fic.

“Perhaps the failure of metaphysics lies in the caution and timidity of metaphysicians, who seem ostensibly so brave. They have sought for rest — which they describe as the highest boon. Whereas they should have valued more than anything restlessness, aimlessness, even purposelessness.”

International Yoga Day 2022: Simple Bhakti Yoga Given by a Complete Saint Is the Best

History of International Yoga DayYoga is an ancient art of physical, mental, and spiritual practice that gives calmness, peace, confidence, and courage to the people through which they can do several activities in a better way. At every level of existence, it is a state of harmony. Yoga is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. It originated in pre-Vedic times in India approximately 6000 years ago and requires people to practice meditation in their daily lives so as to attain a healthy and strong life.In ancient times, yoga was practiced by Hindus, Jain, and Buddhists. This ancient wisdom is also known as the supreme science of life. But in a developing world, looking upon the health benefits yoga provides, it is practiced all over the planet. Now the question is why we choose 21 June as the day of Yoga, and not any other day. Actually 21 June is the day of the summer solstice. A solstice is an event when the tilt of a planet’s axis in the northern hemisphere is most inclined towards the star that it orbits – in our case, the earth and the sun.

Now the question arises why chose 21 June as the day of Yoga, and not any other day? June 21 is considered as the longest day of the year with the sun rising early and setting late for the northern hemisphere. The summer solstice is also considered as an important day in Indian mythology as it marks an event that could be considered the start of Yogic science.Who Is Known as the Father of Modern Yoga?Tirumalai krishnamacharya is considered as the father of modern yoga. He was an Indian yoga teacher, ayurvedic healing and scholar. In the 20th century, he was known as one of the most influential yoga teachers.

That Yoga is Bhakti Yoga, i.e., the Yoga of doing worship. That is the real Yoga because ‘Yog’ literally means ‘connection’. 

This word was initially used with those who used to practice various types of religious acts in order to attain the Almighty, i.e. with those who used to try to connect (Yog) with God. And, those who used to practice the worship were named ‘Yogi’.Then, these Yogis also started doing physical exercises to keep their bodies healthy because of not getting the right way of Worship, they used to practice worship by sitting idle at one place. This way, the physical exercises are also named ‘Yoga’ and are ignorantly associated with spirituality while this Yoga has nothing to do with Bhakti. Bhakti Yoga is different from this Yoga. Only Bhakti Yoga can lead to spiritual success. That true Bhakti Yoga, today, is being granted by Jagatguru Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj alone. If you wish to take Initiation from Jagatguru Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, kindly fill the Online Naam Diksha FormCan Yoga Lead to Salvation?To attain salvation a soul will have to ascend towards Satlok. There is a specific path present in our human body to ascend to Satlok. There are three veins in our nervous system called the Ila, Pingala, and Sushumna. The practitioners of yoga are aware of the third eye or Trikuti, which is situated between the two eyebrows at the back of your head. However, the way towards Satlok is much higher than the crown chakra or Sahsar chakra which is situated above the third eye. The ones who meditate along with yoga can reach the crown chakra.What Was the Purpose of Yoga?Only the ones who are following the way of worship and meditation given by an enlightened saint can ascend to those higher realms which are partly in our body and partly outside it. There are five types of winds that regulate the workings of a human body, about which all the practitioners of yoga are aware

.■ Also Read: Can practicing yoga lead to salvation?However, there are 7 other types of winds that assist a soul to ascend towards the eternal abode-Satlok. And only those who are practicing true worship will be able to take control over those 7 winds. Hence, it can be concluded that performing yoga and meditation alone cannot lead to salvation. There is more to it and only an enlightened saint can give you more information about it.International Yoga Day 2022 Quotes“Be equal minded in both success and failure. Such equanimity is called Yoga”“The union of apana and prana, own rajas and semen, the sun and moon, soul with the supreme soul, the union of all dualities is called yoga”.“Surat Shabd Yoga is for the realisation of true-self”“Yoga is for the welfare of the body. This body is destructible. Perform Bhakti Yoga for the welfare of both your body and soul”.International Yoga Day 2022 ConclusionIn today’s world, there are hundreds of sages and it is a difficult task to identify an enlightened sage.

 However, our holy books have given us information as to how an enlightened sage could be identified.

That enlightened saint will be able to guide mankind on the route of true worship and meditation to attain Almighty and His eternal abode.Who Is a True Saint?Today there is only one saint in this whole world who is enlightened and is imparting the true spiritual knowledge from all our Holy Scriptures.

DOORS OF PERCEPTION

“The function of the brain and nervous system is to protect us from being overwhelmed and confused by this mass of largely useless and irrelevant knowledge, by shutting out most of what we should others perceive and remember at any given moment, leaving only that very small and special selection that is likely to be practically useful.”

-Dr. D. C. Broad

Huxley expands on this quote in his work The Doors of Perception by siting why we have systems of perception; survival. He literally breaks down why the human mind translates so little of the information we take in.

Consciousness, as a field of study, has came a long way from the acid culture of Huxley’s era but that doesn’t mean we’ve disproved many of his views. In fact, quite the opposite has taken place. We now know that the human brain processes about 400 billion bits of information per second but we only perceive about 4,300 bits of said information. That’s a really fancy way of saying Huxley was right and we only need about .01% of the information our brains take in from the stream of consciousness- or the outside world.

Now, what Huxley called a reduction valve of our consciousness can actually be lessened through meditative practice. That’s right. Ardent meditators have more developed frontal lobes and are able to take in and process more information than the average person. Modern psychologists have actually been able to gauge the physiological differences that occur in people who have meditated for prolonged periods of time.

You guys know how much I love this sort of science. Any time we see a way to change our perceptions, or a way to lessen the damage of cortisol being flooded in our systems for prolonged periods of time I will always gladly share the research. As I discover more information and track down the case studies you guys will benefit from the findings. It’s such a fascinating field.

🌷🪷why i’m unbothered by the 3d and ‘time passing’🪷🌷

the 3d or the physical world around you is a reflection of your 4d or your inner world. you can not expect things to change around you if your inner world is constantly repeating the old story. but knowing this is a beautiful thing because now you know that you have full control, all you have to do is redirect your thoughts to align with your ideal reality! use the 3d as a what you need to focus on in your inner world because the 3d is not the enemy!

things are always changing. nothing is ever set in stone. you can change your thoughts and habits. this will change the things around you when persisted in. i remember at the beginning of my journey when i wasn’t ‘seeing’ movement and i would complain it wasn’t working for me….baby it wasn’t working because i kept persisting that it wasn’t working. then one day it clicked and i decided to start affirming that things are working in my favor and that there is always movement. i would tell myself that all things are aligning perfectly for me. even if i didn’t ‘see’ it around me i knew that i was getting what i wanted. and guess what? i got all the things i wanted super fast right before my eyes. that is when i realized that the 3d truly is a reflection of my inner world.

i focused solely on my mindset/self concept for a couple days and saw such an improvement in my life and big things happened! but something clicked and i felt that i should just focus on myself because clearly by doing that the 3d is reflecting all these amazing things. you don’t have to have a perfect mindset to get what you want but it definitely is something you should work on not for just manifesting things you want but just in general to feel good about yourself. do it to feel more confident in yourself and your power. do it to feel more calm and stable.

rely on the 4d as confirmation of having everything you want because that is what will be reflected in your physical world. remember that circumstances don’t matter at all.

when it comes to ‘time passing’ it doesn’t bother me because i know that time is not linear and can not be measured. the only thing that is exists is now. and now. and now. you get the point i think. the past is simply memory and the future is what you decide by your thoughts but all that really is is now. the less you focus on time the faster things appear for you. you could want different parents and you don’t actually see them but in five minutes when your mom comes to your room it could be a totally different person that you wanted as your mom. that is why we say live in the end and know you have it already because things are always changing and the inner world is the only real reality.

i think people get caught up in past ‘failures’ for getting what they want but think about it. you never actually failed because you were applying the law correctly and getting results. might not have been the results you wanted but you knew how to apply it. this means shift your thoughts to what you want to experience thats it! remember the past only exists in memory so if you want to whenever a negative thought pops up about the past just say it never happened or say that you are always successful at getting what you want instantly (this helped me tremendously). even though it might suck that you didn’t get what you wanted because of your thoughts use that as a beautiful thing and realize that yes this means i can do it because all i have to do is affirm the opposite.

these are some affirmations that can help you live in the end, feel more calm and shift to a winners mindset!

everything is working out in my favor

everything i want is already mine

i am successful at getting what i want

i easily stick to the new story

this is everything going my way

god does not worry and i am god

i am in my ideal reality

my life is perfect and beautiful

i believe in myself

i am capable

i am limitless and powerful

manifesting is fun and easy and you deserve to have everything you want. you had the desire for a reason and that reason is that you are meant to have it and experience it! you control time and you decide how things go for you. have affirmations that make you feel comfortable and calm. i give affirmations just to help give ideas and what i use for my life and they work for me!

Why intrusive thoughts don't manifest.

They don't, because random thoughts don't manifest, your state does, your dominant believe does.

Lemme just break this down a bit more.

So I was watching a psychology video sometime back and the dude in the video asked us to look at the ceiling above us and think that it's going to fall and asked us to hold that thought for 5 seconds, and it did not fall of course and so he concluded "thoughts don't create anything." For a moment my mind was boggled because I could only think of LOA at that time but then I self-speculated, those 5 seconds my main focus was on the fear of the ceiling falling, I did not want it to fall, it was just a thought that it might fall, heavily emphasising on the word "might". Thoughts come with certain emotions and uncertainty, we are not sure whether the ceiling would fall or not but we're scared, there is zero conviction. An intrusive thought comes out of a spontaneous fear which lasts for like a minute or so and then you get distracted and you forget.

Conciously manifesting something, is more of a mindset than thoughts. Even though you don't have to take any steps in 3d, you still have to work for it mentally, and by that I mean, maintaining a good mental diet, persisting, having a consistent faith in the law and the unseen. It is a whole change of mental state that you had before discovering the existence of this law. The kind of thoughts you get just tells you your mental state, if your thoughts are desperate and full of anxiety that just means that you're not living in the end, they are just there to notify you, to remind you, to affirm and persist in the new story, to change your mindset, to acquire the Godly state. So in conclusion, your thoughts don't matter, they are harmless, all you gotta do is flip and get back in the powerful state. In your mind's garden, these intrusive thoughts are like weeds near your favorite plant, telling you to focus on the planttt itself and take care of it so that it can bloom properly, you gotta take them weeds out because they are of no use, you gotta take care of your plant for it to grow well. (You get it!? right. Lol hope this weed and plant analogy fits lmao). Focus on what you want, focus on persisting on the new story, focus on yourself.

Hope this post helped lol.

BE DELUSIONAL

alright now listen i know it sounds a lil odd but hear me out.

so in regular people english delusional means: having beliefs or ideas that are not proven by reality.

so the beliefs that aren’t proven by reality refers to your desires. now before confusion arises, your desires are already in your 3D the moment you decide it is. you just can’t see it, till you’ve persisted. so technically, it’s not yet proven (visually at least). kinda like you know there’s 7 billion other people in the world, have you met all of them? no but you know they’re here.

literally be delusional about your desires. i don’t mean that lightly either.

think about an actual delusional person. when someone is delusional they swear that their ideas are completely true no matter how ridiculous it sounds.

that’s needs to be you about your desires.

let’s say your manifesting your desired face:

no matter what people tell you, what pictures show you, what the mirror reflects, you know you look exactly like your desired face. even if you don’t see your df, you can look dead in the mirror and tell yourself you do. and keep doing that. you can take a picture of yourself and keep saying how much you look like you df. cause you do. and quickly, those will become your auto pilot thoughts. you’ll naturally be in the state of having your desires, and that will manifest.

When he loses a quidditch game, especially against slytherin(me mwahaha) is when it's the most rough (more motivation for me to play my best I guess), and if I'm upset or we're tired or something that's when it's the softest. We use the room of requirement and a few times it was the quidditch lockers 🤭🤭

My friends are fucking the best, we get into trouble all the time and all of us were speed walking down the hall and laughing because we were all going to go prank the ravenclaws and mcgonnagall saw us walking and started to say something and then just let out an exasperated sigh and turned the other way

SNAPE TOLD DRACO HE WAS TOO GOOD TO BE HANGING AROUND WITH US SO ME AND DRACO PUT A SLEEPING POTION IN HIS GOBLET DURING DINNER AND HE PASSED OUT ON THE TABLE

Overall snape hates me lmao

Harry came back from dumbledore office saying he asked him to go on some stupid quest and I went to his office with 'mione and we told him to stop making harry do stupid shit that could get him killed, well i said that and ''mione asked a bit more nicely lmao

Cormac grabbed my ass when I was walking with Draco and Draco pushed him down the moving staircase

I got called to demonstrate how to pull out a baby mandrake and I put my earmuffs on and pulled it out immediately but forgot to check if everyone else had their earmuffs on and HALF THE CLASS PASSED OUT and Cedric had his on and he just started slow clapping

I HAVE MORE BUT THIS IS ALREADY WAYYYY TOO LONG SO BYE

Sarah J. Maas Book Cover Redesigns

If people want them, I can make these into mobile/desktop wallpapers for patrons. See below for Patreon link.

Recently, it was revealed that Maas’ ACOTAR book covers got a redesign. 

No offense to the designer - because I try not to go out of my way to publicly bash someone’s design work that they spent time on - but I’m not alone in saying that those covers aren’t the greatest. 

From a design standpoint, the colors clash too heavily with the tone of the stories. While bright colors can be fun, they don’t match the books they represent. (Not to mention the color combo on the grey hardback covers is almost hard to read because they appear less bright and look washed out.) 

Maas seems to lean more on Eastern-esque art influences for reprints lately, and it’s honestly very confusing. Given the settings and characters, these do not work for the stories inside. If these covers had an updated color palette and were used for an Asian-inspired story, I think they’d be better because the illustrations are beautiful. But they’re just not ACOTAR. 

I’ve made my own minimalist book covers for A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury. 

Yes I have my watermark on them. No I won’t remove them. 

The original designer attempted to do a minimal look, but they didn’t take advantage of the iconography and setting these books offered for a truly illustrative and still minimal set of covers. 

Stay tuned for when I do ACOWAR and ACOFAS next!
