Sprinkled With Snow ~

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

I SHIFTED (to hogwarts) LAST NIGHT AND HERE ARE SOME STORIES/THINGS THAT HAPPENED INCASE ANYONE WANTS THEM OR NOT ITS FINE IM JUST EXCITED AHH

THIS IS REALLY LONG IM SO SORRY YOU DONT HAVE TO READ IF U DONT WANT TO I LOVE U ANYWAY <3

((I spent like 4ish months at hogwarts when I shifted))

Im a slytherin in my 6th year

Im dating Fred!!!!!!!!!

My absolute best friends are Draco, Cedric, and Ron

And the others in my group are Harry, Hermione and George

All of us walk to the great hall together every day and sit by each other, and then split off after depending on who has classes with who

Draco and I have a brother-sister kinda dynamic , so we pick on each other a lot but have each other's back [slytherin buddiesss]

while Ced and I are the cuddly best friends (NO ROMANCE) who are attached at the hip (when I'm not with Fred lol)

Ron and I are the comedic duo and we always say the stupidest shit- we are the lives of the party, usually always partners in herbology and potions

Ron and Draco literally argue all the damn time but they will behave if I ask them to lol

ok ok ok ok FRED

He takes muggle studies the hour I have care of magical creatures and he always insists on picking me up from COMC even though it's so far and he's always out of breath, but he's always waiting for me as my class ends.

"I nearly knocked snape over on my way down here today"

I literally told him he should just take his broom down instead of fucking sprinting across the grounds and he was baffled like "THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEA WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU"

Always calls me darling, love, sweetheart

Cedric accidentally knocked my books out of my arms one day and said "sorry love, let me help you with that" and Fred got so red and pissed off that ced called me that lmao

Now that I'm starting to remember more Fred got jealous of Diggory a lot- ced gave me a teddy bear for my bday and kissed the top of my head (a friendly kiss no flirtiness) and Fred left and came back with a bigger teddy bear and ced got upset so I had to tell Fred to apologize but now everyone's all good

Fred is so possessive oml- his arms are always around me sometimes I can't breathe through his death grip

I FUCKING KNOCKED OVER MY CAULDRON IN POTIONS AND IT BURNED THROUGH SNAPES SHOE AND RON WAS MY PARTNER AND HE JUST MUMBLED "never in my life did I think I would see snapes toes"

We got detention lmao

HUFFLEPUFFS THROW THE BEST PARTIES MOVE OVER GRYFFINDOR

Seamus blew up my pumpkin juice at dinner and Draco picked up his goblet of water and just splashed it at Seamus's face and it started a food fight

((there weren't like, labeled house tables?? Everyone was all just sitting together and it was so nice, usually Draco sits next to me bc he prefers to talk to me over the others--Seating arrangement is Draco, me, Fred, George and then across the table is Ced, Ron, Harry, & hermione,,, other than that it's just random around us))

DRACO FLINCHES WHEN HERMIONE RAISES HER ARM FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING BECAUSE HE THINKS SHES GONNA PUNCH HIM AGAIN AHHH

Fred and George have tried to switch multiple times to see if I noticed but I always did

Fred took me to hogsmeade and started buying me everything my eyes lingered on for more than a second and I was like freddie where the hell are u getting this money from and he said he made a huge [illegal] quidditch bet with lee

I HAVE NICKNAMES FOR EVERYONE THEY SOUND MEAN BUT WE ALL TEASE EACH OTHER ITS OKAY

Fred: Freddie, Frrrrrredrick, bear (idk why lol)

Cedric: Ced, sunshine (sarcastically)

Ron: *yells across the great hall/classroom/grounds* RONALD, dumbass

Draco: Drake (he rolls his eyes but he totally loves it), bleach (joke on his hair), blondie, your highness (when he's acting bitchy)

George: idiot

Hermione: 'mione, smartie, gal

Harry: Harold even tho his name isn't Harold I call him Harold all the damn time and now people ask if his name is Harold and he just sighs deeply every time someone asks him

Me: everyone calls me princess, I bring everyone together they all love me it's literally my perfect world I love them all so much

I have a lot of little details about fashion and like what we all wear so here they are

draco and I have matching snake rings for slytherin, they're both black and silver

FRED HAS HIS LONG HAIR and he uses my green scrunchie to tie it back during classes and quidditch games MAN BUN FRED MAN BUN FRED

Molly weasley made me a jumper🥺its got my initial on it and she made it green for slytherin

Literally half of my wardrobe is stuff I've stolen from my guy friends. When things get too small on them they all go to me. Fred's pj pants w/ the gryffindor crest on them, dracos old jumper, ced's old quidditch jersey, a warm hat that Ron had but he got a new one and didn't need his anymore

I'm a keeper for slytherin so I get to play with Draco and playing against gryffindor is absolutely hilarious becsuse half of my friends are on the team and also Freddie

We had a five hour game once and Draco FAKE FAINTED so the game would stop- it was a draw and no one knows he fake fainted except for me

Freddie got a necklace for me with his initials on it and I wear it every day

Ron and I sneak into the kitchen at midnight on fridays, sometimes we bake, most of the time we just eat so much food

I TAUGHT THEM VINES AND SNAPE THOUGHT WE WERE CASTING A CURSE OR SOMETHING WHEN I WHISPERED "it is Wednesday my dudes" and Ced, Ron, Fred, George and I all went aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHH and disrupted class

KINDA NSFW WARNING: Fred is perfect omg. I don't want to get SUPER into the spicy details but this man KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS, he's rough yet soft, it's always so loving, HES SUCH A TEASE. 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

Love our yearly ritual of watching the rest of tumblr slowly Succumb™️

Reginald: Five, could you pass the salt?

Five, not missing a beat: I don’t know dad, can you pass away?

Klaus, wheezing: Too Much Fucking Salt-

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!

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.

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
