Things To Consider When Writing About Royalty

Things to Consider When Writing About Royalty

How is the throne inherited? How strict are the traditions concerning transfers of power? How is the order of succession determined? Can commoners become royalty?

How are heirs trained?

How much, if at all, are marriages for power/political ties favored over marriages for love? How common are arranged marriages

What are the biggest threats to their position?

How good is there relationship with their subjects? 

What is their preferred method of interacting with their subjects? Do they prefer to interact with them directly or indirectly?

How long has the monarchy been in power? How did it originally gain that power?

What special etiquette is required when dealing with royalty? How strict is it?

How are princes and/or princesses that aren’t first in line for the throne handled? Are they given special responsibilities in the hopes of discouraging resentment?

How do they deal with assassination attempts?

How do they spend their wealth? Why do they prioritize certain aspects of their kingdom’s well being over others?

Would they rather inspire love or fear in their subjects?

Bad Blood by midnightweeds

It wasn’t a choice. Not really. But, she chose him, anyway.

Death, Upright by nauticalparamour

When Hermione’s eyes settled on Tom once again her smile transformed into something slightly sinister. “I must say, Tom Riddle, I have been waiting for the day that you would walk into my tea room.”

Fourier`s Flaw by SiriusBlacksGodDaughter

Theoretically, let’s say you can stop this war at its’ core, Miss Granger.“ Dumbledore said with a smile. “Kill Lord Voldemort?” asked Hermione. Dumbledore shook his head, “Not all battles end in fight, Miss Granger.” AU

Have a Nice Day! by Speechwriter

Tom Riddle: secret, brilliant heir to the biggest company in the world, VoldeMart. Hermione Granger: sent to his prestigious school on full scholarship because VoldeMart outsourced her parents’ jobs to China. Bridges burn. Sparks fly. M for language.

The experiment by thekarmapolice

She entered his shop one rainy afternoon. A Tomione story. AU. “He didn’t believe in coincidences. He knew that everything happened for a reason, the good and the bad, even the smallest things. Sometimes he could predict those things and other times they just stumbled upon him and caught him. By surprise, unprepared.”

The Scientist by uchiha.s

AU, HG/TMR/FW. Attraction builds between Hermione and her best friend’s older brother, yet she can’t tear her mind from the mysterious puzzle that is her critical theory professor: Dr. Riddle. EPILOGUE UP.

The Sound of the Sea by @ninjafairy86

She craved adventure, like the ones she read about in her books. She craved an escape - she craved freedom, and marrying the pretentious Draco Malfoy was anything but those things.

The night before Hermione’s wedding, she desperately wished for a way out of her arranged marriage. She knew no one would come to her rescue, so she was going to save herself.

Little did she know, was that the dreaded Captain Voldemort had been planning her abduction for months.

Time Crash by AnkouBlake

McGonagall acts upon mysterious orders given to her in a letter, left to her by Dumbledore and unknowingly sets events into action that could change the future of the Wizarding World forever. Some DH spoilers I guess. AU, too. Rated to be safe. Angst too!

Under Darkness by crochetaway

Salazar Slytherin succeeded in keeping Muggleborns out of Hogwarts and the Wizarding World at large. Tom Riddle, half-blood, wants to change that. Hermione Granger, Muggleborn, was born to help him.

Veal and Venison by Patagonian

Perhaps it was the cruel mistreatment of Tom Marvolo Riddle as a child, or maybe it was the bloodline of Slytherin’s heir himself that made the boy into the ‘monster’ who cannot be named. Or, perhaps it was simply because he did not know that his heart would beat in such a frenzy, that his cheeks would redden like a crimson rose, and that his normally-calm facade would melt under the simple gaze of the time-travelling heroine.  If I were to bet, I’d say it’s the latter.

           But it matters not why Voldemort could not love, for this is not a story about Voldemort.  This is the story of Tom Marvolo Riddle, and how he came into direct conflict and company with the ‘brightest witch of her age’ … fifty-years ahead.  This is the story of love’s recognition, in which the force does not suddenly develop between two people, but a poignant emotion, different for each individual, is uniquely described to be 'love.’  Maybe Tom Riddle never loved, much like that of Voldemort.  However, as one chooses to stubbornly believe, love existed for Tom Marvolo Riddle as long as he chose to believe that he loved Hermione Jean Granger.

War Paint by @provocative-envy

It was small, slim, about the length of her hand; the leather cover was soft, the sewn-in binding was crisp, and the thick vellum pages were empty. ‘Tom Marvolo Riddle’ was printed in ancient, flaking gold leaf across the front. He had been a Slytherin, a prefect, and head boy in 1944. She had checked. HG/TR.

Carnivore by Reneehart

Tom returns to the orphanage during the summer before his seventh year, to find that there is a new resident. An interesting and curious resident, with frizzy hair and no memory of her life before coming to Wool’s do to a terrible attack. A resident who can perform magic, though she has forgotten how. No matter. He can teach her.

Comfortable by @meowmerson

He knew from the moment the little Weasley girl forced her way into his gang that there was going to be trouble. He just always assumed it would come from her army of brothers, not her red-hot pistol of a best friend. Tomione. Greaser AU. M for a reason.

era appropriate by estotyric (devilrie)

Tom Riddle is pretending to be infatuated with her. Hermione wants to know why.

Fragrance by Siberia_M

Perfect Head boy Tom Riddle is asked to brew Amortentia for Professor Slughorn’s next class. He never imagined he would feel a fragrance on the potion’s vapors, nor he thought he would turn quite addicted to it.

Gym Rats by nauticalparamour

Hermione is really just into cardio. A dedicated runner, training for a race. Unfortunately for her, all of her gym sessions are now plagued by a handsome stranger who insists on warming up on the treadmill next to her before hitting the weights. She hates the way he always sniffs at her pace, because obviously if he CHOSE to run, he would be much faster. But he doesn’t. Choose to run that is. He’s just happy over there doing bench presses.

His by shadowglove

When his future self came to him while he was in first year and told him to strike at Harry Potter’s strength, Tom had thought he’d meant to kill the girl, Hermione. But somehow, with the help of his Time Turner, Tom ended up making her his instead.

my heart lingers in your hands by @born-as-a-nebulae​

He grasped the hand holding his hair, and forcefully removed it from his person. “You will be my queen,” he told her, dark eyes flashing red for the briefest of moments. “I won’t,” she said with a daring flare in her eyes. His grip on her hand tightened until she felt her wrist bones grind together and had to clench her teeth to suppress a whimper. “Then you will be my whore.”

Nothing Like the Sun by taloohlips (orphan_account)

There’s something unnerving about Tom Riddle.

Hermione’s never quite been able to articulate just what it is about him that unsettles her so: after all, Riddle’s popular and charming and adored by Hogwarts staff and students alike. Still, she’d swear that there’s something lurking beneath that warmly polite veneer of his, something that lies in wait like a serpent in the dark.

But it’s not until her sixth year at Hogwarts, when she rashly confronts him over an unprecedented act of violence, that the full force of Riddle’s chilling regard is abruptly and wholly turned on her.

Orphaned by E.S. Cruz

When disfavor turns to curiosity friendships, privacy and her sanity are strained as her past catches up to her.

Renatus by @somanybeanbags

There is only one person Lord Voldemort trusts to guide Harry Potter through the Triwizard Tournament and into his Muggle father’s graveyard at the opportune moment.

It is not Barty Crouch Junior.

“His name is Professor Riddle, and at least for now, no matter who you ask, nobody knows anything more. Professor Riddle, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher.”

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement by @devdevlin​

But when an attractive young man, who Harry is strangely suspicious of, is appointed as her boss, things quickly get out of hand…

‎”THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Reblog this!

   It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such a situation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world. THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG… FYI - Through a rapist’s eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts: 1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets. 2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing. 3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered. 4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots. 5] Number two is office parking lots/garages. 6] Number three is public restrooms. 7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught. 8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming. 9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. 10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it. ———————————————————————————————————————————- POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER: 1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

  2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would  not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target. 3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent. 4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts. 5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there. 6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly. 7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble. ——————————————————————————————————————————- FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL …. I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go “hmm I must remember that” After reading forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in. 1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it. 2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! 3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives. 4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.  

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage: a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) . b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars. c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)  

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot). 7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN! 8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.   

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry. If u have a heart or compassion reblog this post. ‘Helping hands are better than Praying Lips’ – give us your helping hand.

  REBLOG THIS AND LET EVERY GIRL KNOW ATLEAST PEOPLES WILL KNOW WATS GOIN IN THIS WORLD. So please reblog this….Your one reblog can Help to spread this information. I hope you all will Reblog. Lets See how many of you really care for this.

I Was Talking To My Therapist About Some Anxiety Symptoms --- "In My Mind, I Know I'm Going To Be Perfectly

I was talking to my therapist about some anxiety symptoms --- "In my mind, I know I'm going to be perfectly okay, but my body doesn't listen and reacts anyway" --- and she recommended TIPP as strategies to keep in my toolbox of dealing with distress in the moment. I really appreciate having more than one option to try in moments of overwhelm!

Transcription below:

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or other strong emotions, TIPP is a set of techniques that use the body's natural physical responses to bring you back into balance.

TIPP stands for

temperature

intense exercise

paced breathing

progressive muscle relaxation

Temperature:

The body naturally lowers its heart rate in response to cold. If anxiety is making your heart race, try an ice pack, a cool washcloth, or a walk outside in cool weather, and it should help you calm down.

Intense exercise:

Anxiety is typically a symptom of your body going into fight/flight mode. If your body is coursing with nervous energy, burn it off with 10 minutes of jumping jacks, dancing, climbing stairs, or another cardio activity to complete the stress response cycle.

Paced breathing:

Deep, slow breathing from the belly can also help signal the body to come out of fight/flight mode. Try inhaling for a count of four and exhaling for a count of six until you feel more relaxed. (I like to hold the breath for a count of two between each inhale and exhale.)

Progressive muscle relaxation:

If anxiety makes your body tense up, try this. Start by squeezing the muscles in your toes and feet for five seconds, and then intentionally relax them. Move up to the calves, up your legs, and every region of your body to purposefully let go of extra energy.

When you're feeling overwhelmed, try one or more of these to see what works for you.

Please help me escape my current living situation

I've thought about doing this for awhile and was too scared to for fear my husband would see this post but I can't do it anymore. I need help to get myself and my son out of an abusive situation. I'm going to place my story below a cut because it will contain topics that can be triggering.

I've been with my husband for 17 years, married for 11 and for 15 of those years I've been emotionally abused and raped. The very first time he held me down and raped me anally I thought it would never happen again. He'd just lost his job and he lost control. But that wasn't the last time. Over the course of a decade he broke me down emotionally, made me think I was nothing but a sex toy to him. He took my fantasies, many of which I've written about and he twisted them. Tying me up and blindfolding me so I couldn't see or escape what was coming. The spanking/punishments that I would get would go from pleasurable/light hearted to out right torture leaving me bruised, bleeding and sobbing for him to stop. Which he wouldn't until he was satisfied. He'd vaginally insert sex toys, his fingers or his penis, raping me usually unlubricated until I was torn and bleeding. He'd take photos that I never consented to for his own pleasure later. When I mentioned wanting a safe word the answer was no because we didn't need one. He didn't but I did.

He controlled so much of my life inside our home. What I could wear, how I did my hair, I could never wear make up, even during our wedding when I did wear light makeup he told me I looked disgusting and I shouldn't have put any on. I lost touch with my friends and rarely spoke to my family. Hell, I couldn't even pick what we watched on TV because if he wasn't interested I wasn't allowed to be either.

When I told him I wasn't interested in marriage, he told me I wasn't committed to him and that our relationship meant nothing to me if we didn't get married, so to prove my commitment I got married. Within a couple years we had our son and I thought maybe he would change cause he was a dad now. But no, the emotional abuse was brought upon our baby.

There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't yell at our son about something. He's playing too loud, he's watching too much TV, he didn't clean up fast enough, he didn't move fast enough, he's asking for too much help with homework, he eats too much/not enough and the list goes on. My son is 9 years old and he's never known that dad's aren't like that. That other kids have dad's that don't yell at them when they ask for something to eat.

I can't keep raising my son in this house and I can't keep being abused either. I hate to do this but I need help. He takes my paychecks and I've been saving what I can but the cost of living keeps going up. Shelters in my area are more than full. Below is my PayPal, the only place I can save money that my husband doesn't have access too. If you can spare a dollar or even a reblog I will be eternally grateful. Please help us and thank you.

An Unnecessarily Comprehensive Sandman Reading Order

Having now read EVERY comic that I could find based on, using characters from, or tying in with @neil-gaiman‘s Sandman series, I thought I should provide what is, as far as i can tell, the definitive list of everything Sandman, in roughly the order of publication, and also what I thought of them. Warning: there’s a lot of it (over 580 issues in two and a half months).
