Hey, I figured it was time for me to keep all my fics in one place over here on tumblr dot com, so here you go! I’ll try and keep this updated as I post! On Ao3 at Rizandace.

Moby Dickthis is legendary because you as you go you see the photo itself and you’re “oh this is some symbolic / surrealist art” and then the TITLE hits you like a shotgun shell
In case you were unaware, Moby Dick is one of the foundational texts of cosmic horror. The White Whale is a god, maybe even The God. And Ahab Hates Him.
“I’m scared, Jaskier.” “Just saying that makes you braver than you know.” “That’s it. That’s what makes you so special. You don’t just see people. You see the best in them.” | THE WITCHER SEASON THREE
art tips
- don’t call what you create “content”. regardless of what it is. that’s the devil talking. call it art, call it writing, call it music, call it analysis, call it editing, literally just call it what it is
- I was going to put other things but oh my god please just don’t call yourself a “content creator”. you are a person you are making art / writing / music / etc you are an artist an author a musician
- you are not an Image Generator For Clicks And Views. please. allow yourself to connect with your work by naming it properly and acknowledging yourself in kind
Gonna add on to this, if that’s ok, because I think a lot of people don’t know how to categorize their work:
- Shitposting? You’re a comedian, a satirist.
- Long posts about other people’s art? You’re a critic (positive), a scholar.
- Long posts exploring ideas, society, and the world around you? You’re an essayist, a philosopher.
- Can’t get enough of sharing information about X topic? You’re a scholar, an educator, a columnist.
- Just love collecting and sharing other people’s stuff on your blog? Archivist, curator, collector.
- Just not sure where you fit? Babe, you’re a blogger.
You don’t have to be a professional (ie get paid) to be any of these things. You can claim the title without making any claims to the quality of your work. It’s ok.
