BTW, some of these just sounded “out-of-the-norm” to me in my mind, I’m not sure if they’re established names, but, hey, any word can be a name
Nova (probably one of the most over-used, but sounds cool regardless)
Skid (idk this just came up in my mind, for a hero)
Drax (honestly, any name with “x”)
Alex or Xander
Mace (like “Mace Windu”)
Val, Tal, Cal (you get the gist)
Xelena
A name with numbers (ex. IG-88 from “Star Wars”)
Ludo/Lud/Ludwig/Ludovic (famous war/hero)
Quitus
Rylan
Septimus
Leon
Zed
Arcturus (maybe “Tory” can be a nickname)
Ash
Ax (not a literal axe, but kinda like “axon” if they’re a character who sits at the secret base and transmits messages to the heroes…)
Caelen
Daelen
Aaryaa (like Arya Stark, but I put this name in honour of my friend Aaryaa)
Meara
A name with punctuation in it, like “Obi-Wan”, “Mon-El”
Volt (😭)
Mare (from “The Cruel Prince”)
Jon, J-onn, Jeon, Jh-onn (a twist on traditional names)

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.

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!

🌷🪷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!

To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered.
BE DELUSIONAL
alright now listen i know it sounds a lil odd but hear me out.
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.
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.
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.
