broke up with my boyfriend, but unfortunately exams in less than 10 days so emotions processing is on autopilot. Will process all this in June when exams end and binge on 20 different ice cream flavors:)

For a tumblr prompt by @johnlocked-starkid: maybe a Harry/Cedric thing where the Triwizard Cup isn’t a portkey and Voldemort doesn’t happen, and instead they just win together and are happy and celebrate together.

Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties.

I literally have some scenes saved in my notes just to reread with more ease. Do yourself a favour and read this.

[andreadesantis3806]

As the year of 2025 ends, i just wanna thank every single on of you on tumblr or ao3 users or guests that have read and loved or interacted with my first ever SERIOUS and BIGGEST fanfiction work on ao3 DOTPATF and i cannot stress on how much grateful i am for everyone of u who have left kudos, comments and bookmarked it and it truly makes me happy to see everyone enjoying it as much as i enjoyed writing it.

The thing about fanfiction is, it does not have to be perfect. It does not need to fit into ANYONES standards or ideology, because its a work defined by our own hearts. Go as crazy as you want writing it, be as bad at plot build up as you want, dont care how your grammer is or how much plot blocks ur suffering : In the end, its sth u envisioned and wanted maybe for the real life canon to have, or maybe u want to give more structure or think about how these characters will do in a different universe, its totally upto you and is borne from your fantasy and crazy imaginations which were too powerful to be tied down to daydreams and needed to laid out and leave a legacy. You dont have to be new york best seller, u dont need a nobel prize for it, u write for your own joy and the joy of others who might share or are curious about this silly but unique idea of yours and will happily read it.

With the last hours of 2025 coming up, i hope everyone gets to live by their fantasies with other like minded people who give their heart into mapping out their imaginations and share it with the others too fearlessly. Thank you everyone and i hope you all know how unique and creative you are. Just because its ''fanfiction'' does not mean it is less powerful than a barnes and nobles book store. Its your hearts content and you have decided to share your imagination for our beloved shows and franchises and RPFs with the broader world with people who wud cherish and love it beyond measures.

I have achieved unbelievable stats for DOTPATF by the end of this year and i still cant believe such a silly idea of mine wud be this loved.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49643128/chapters/125297911

Once again thank you and love everyone of you<3 I do have an idea for a new fic in mind but it has to take more form before i can hint at anything so;) do look forward but for now, those who havent, do give DOTPATF a try and do leave comments cuz those are just absolute blessings.

May you all have a beautiful, blessed new year!

[tyrannosaurus-maxy]

max??

[formula-fun]

I find it so funny that people are dragging max for not defending kimi, I’m so sorry

1 it’s been two days

2 when has he ever directly addressed the fans anyway?? man who famously keeps a healthy distance from the fans and media, doesn’t show his baby’s face, walks his dog at 3am because he likes his privacy, only uses Twitter to flirt with Susie Wolff? If we hear from him it’ll be in the media pen. See above

3 as a former teenage recipient of death threats he probably understands the weird ass people who send these things are going to do it regardless, and it’s nobody’s fault. Not Kimi, not gp, not max or the team. it’s a problem with the fans. the best thing kimi can do is just keep his head down and distance himself from them, rather than waiting for max to negotiate with crazy people on his behalf. if you try to negotiate they just keep doing it because they like the attention, which max has known for about ten years. maybe he’s told kimi that and maybe he hasn’t, but it’s frankly none of our business

tldr I support that kid and want the best for him but this weird parasocialism is what gets us into these messes in the first place. celebrities don’t owe us shit dude. the only people who should be blamed for this are the ones sending death threats

Who am i kidding, i do not have the patience for an hour, and the review is already done.

HERE IT FUCKING IS BITCHES.

Dance of the Pearl and the Flame; Chapter 14 (Finale): Do you Promise?

Thank you for this wonderful journey, and all your beautiful comments that helped me go through my first ever published fanfic on the internet. Really wanted to put something out there, and now I did, with yalls ever loving support. Do leave comments and kemne know your thoughts on this last chapter and the entire story in general.

[andreadesantis3806]

I am back.

Legit I aint kidding.

SO THE LAST AND FINAL CHAPTER OF DOTPATF IS DONE AND DUSTED AND WILL BE PUBLISHED VERY SOON, BY TODAY. It is under a skim edit and review and i will soon, like very soon, gimme like an hour or even less and then it will be there.

For now, enjoy a little snippet;)

''It might look and seem heavenly now, but he has seen Aemond pushed to his breaking points. He had seen the monster he had become when the world showed him no other pathway. Luke knew with utter clarity that even if ever he tried to run, Aemond would let the devils consume and shatter his soul again if it meant he could keep Lucerys from disappearing.  

But Lucerys knew himself too. With that same clarity. That if ever he wished to run, there would always be that tiny pathetic part of him that would beg Aemond to find him, that would run to the vast unknowns trying to escape, but will always be leaving the tiniest breadcrumbs.

It was no such world anymore, and Luke did not think he could find himself to go away and leave. This world is on the path of healing, and Aemond has been pulled back from the edge of the abyss with the threads of destiny that bound him to Lucerys.

As he looked at Aemond, Lucerys did not allude himself into thinking that the demons miraculously vaporized from within him. But perhaps they would not be used to destroy and raze the world anymore. Rather, maybe they would heal as they are already starting to, with love Lucerys vowed to promise the other with at every waking moment, with warmth that transcended lifetimes.''

I will be back to this site sooooon with the newly published chapter. VERY soon i promise<33

it actually makes me a lil insane to think about how loved sebastian is. how agni admired him and saw him as a friend. how madame red said he's basically family to ciel. how Mey rin adores him for being the first person to make her feel valued and appreciated. how finny used to give him hugs so strong they would supposedly damage a normal person's spine. how bard's face lit up when he appeared in the forest in the emerald witch arc. how elizabeth felt so safe and reassured with him there on the Campania. he's become such a valuable part of so many people's lives. and maybe it is all just part of an act, part of his butler aesthetic, but in a way, isn't it kind of beautiful that a demon could be so committed to a contract with a child that he accidently ended up improving the lives of everyone around him in the process?

max saying that he didn't enjoy the lego race because "IT'S MORE FUN WHEN HE INTERACT WITH OTHER DRIVERS":

a few days later, he made sure we UNDERSTOOD what he meant by that:

1. max greeting charles pulling him closer while shaking his hand

2. max start yapping to charles

3. max keeps yapping while their waving to the fans

4. they arrive together at the drivers parade truck and max keeps yapping

5. charles went on the other side of the truck and max was trying to follow him

6. when max successfully reached charles they keep yapping

MY lovelies. I have found myself in a very utterly, UTTERLY silly situation. Your thoughts?

so this rlly good friend of mine, he compared me to a small toilet paper roll…..a used one. So in retaliation, i told him '' im just gonna say this. None of the charcters that might become ur fav will survive at the end of the house of the dragon. Like even after season 3 and 4 airs.'' And he was affronted and was like ''YOU CANNOT JUST DO THIS WTF'' and i was like ''WATCH ME BITCH, WHAT R U GONNA DO STOP TALKING TO ME?'' and he was ranting a little more until he went ''FINE since you want war we will go to war'' and i went ''nope, we go to genocide and massacre'' and then he said ''not gonna talk to you anymore. You ruined the show and i went ''FINE.'' and we…havent talked since. Its been an entire day. And ofc im fine with it, albeit i do miss talking to him, but im very prideful and no matter how much i miss talking to him im not giving in first. AND LIKE--THIS ENTIRE THING IS SILLY it would have made sense for his offence if i spoiled game of thrones, BUT ITS HOUSE OF THE DRAGON. HE WATCHED GOT AND THE ENTIRE GOT IN ITSELF IS A SPOILER FOR THE HOUSE OF THE DRAGON SHOW IF U LOOK CAREFULLY ENUF LIKE- UGH. LIKE WHEN GOT HAPPENS, IT IS A FACT THAT HOUSE TARG IS GONE AND DESTROYED, AND DOESNT SHY AWAY FROM IT. AND HOTD IS BASICALLY SHOWING HOW IN FACT DID THEY DIE AND IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS SO I GENUINLY THINK HE IS ACTING SILLY. Now as i said, i do miss talking to him. We used to chat everyday. So its a wide missing void of space in my day to day life without having random chats with a friend u got so close wiht. But i am nothing if not a big huge prideful menace and WILL not back down. He can come back to talk to me himself if he wants but im not giving in. Theres that. What do you think of this???????????

(PS. I promise u im not dead. The last and final chapter of DOTPATF is on the way i promise, i took time ofc cuz A LEVELS ARE A BITCH. PLs have patience. I promise it will come soon<3)

Ways I Show a Character is Emotionally Burned Out (Before They Even Realize It Themselves)

I love writing characters who think they’re fine but are actually walking emotional house fires with bad coping mechanisms.

They stop doing the things they used to love and don’t even notice. Their guitar gathers dust. Their favorite podcast becomes background noise. Their hobbies feel like homework now.

They pick the path of least resistance every time, even when it hurts them. No, they don’t want to go to that thing. No, they don’t want to talk to that person. But whatever’s easier. That’s the motto now.

They’re tired but can’t sleep. Or they sleep but wake up more tired. Classic burnout move: lying in bed with their brain racing like a toddler on espresso.

They give other people emotional advice they refuse to take themselves. “You have to set boundaries!” they say—while ignoring 8 texts from someone they should’ve cut off three emotional breakdowns ago.

They cry at something stupidly small. Like spilling soup. Or a dog in a commercial. Or losing their pen. The soup is never just soup.

They say “I’m just tired” like it’s a personality trait now. And not like… emotionally drained to the bone but afraid to admit it out loud.

They ghost people they love, not out of malice, but because even replying feels like too much. Social battery? Absolutely obliterated. Texting back feels like filing taxes.

They stop reacting to big things. Catastrophes get a blank stare. Disasters feel like “just another Tuesday.” The well of feeling is running dry.

They avoid being alone with their own thoughts. Constant noise. TV always on. Music blasting. Because silence = reckoning, and reckoning is terrifying.

They start hoping something will force them to stop. An accident. A missed deadline. Someone else finally telling them, “You need a break.” Because asking for help? Unthinkable.
