Welcome to my Tumblr page! I am a flautist, writer, betareader, gamer, daydreamer (overthinker), hyperfixator, procrastinator, and a chronic Downton Abbey fan from Finland. I am currently working on my debut novel "Jewel Thieves of The Opera". My inbox is always open for mutuals and strangers alike! You can also find me on FF.net and AO3 with the username "theDowntonAbbeyfreak"! Take care 🩷
All my Downton Abbey fics listed in one MASTERLIST POST!
Since many people are doing/have done this, I thought I'd join in to give easy access to my fanfics to those only following me here on Tumblr!
My fics can be found on both my Fanfiction.net and AO3 profiles with the username "theDowntonAbbeyfreak", even if these links take you solely to FF.net! I have uploaded only a few fics to AO3 as of yet, but every single one is up on FF.net, regardless!
Fics and links are listed neatly under the cut 🤗

We joked about hosting a joint birthday for dad and myself because we are both celebrating milestone birthdays this year. Now the only one celebrating anything at all *alone* will be me in December.
if you ever doubt that your ao3 comments matter or mean something: i have been struggling with my writing for 6 months straight, crying myself to sleep afraid that i will never be able to write again, that the thing i love most in the world has left me, that my writing is just gone
this morning i got this comment:
and after i stopped blubbering over it, i picked up my writing notebook, and re-read all my fic research, and opened up my document again for the first time in weeks without being afraid of it
you have no idea how much writers treasure every single comment we get. you have no idea how big an impact you can have. sometimes, just sometimes, your one "insignificant" comment changes everything
ren (he/him) & yves (they/them) are a black, queer, neurodivergent couple who a… Ren Alexander needs your support for Support Ren and Yves T
so i decided to bite the bullet and make a gofundme. it kinda sucks that things have reached this point, but we're definitely drowning and anything helps.
i've been getting donations and doing commissions on here for awhile now, and unfortunately i still don't have any updates about financial aid, disability, or unemployment. with our rent coming up soon we're woefully short. the fundraiser explains things in more detail, and if you have anything to spare this pride or if you know people who may be willing to help, it'd be greatly appreciated :)
hey so ren is an insanely talented writer and a wonderful beta reader, I'd really appreciate if y'all could give this a boost. I've started things off, but if my followers could keep the trend going with a dollar each we'll have it finished in no time 💖
