I feel like no matter how many times I reblog my own fics they never get any more hits than if I didn’t lol. Somehow my post on here has more than twice the notes of my fic on ao3 and I guess I just don’t really get it. I don’t get what I need to do to get people interested in my writing and fanart cuz I’ve been trying for years and nothing works.

I feel the same way. You're doing all that you can. I swear it's not just you

Like usually when I post a fic it does reasonably well on ao3. It never gets notes on tumble and most of the time I debate if I should even post the link to tumblr at all. Inevitably I do and I’m disappointed but it’s fine because ao3 takes to it quickly. I have a serial posting fic that gets approximately 20+ new kudos every time I post a new chapter. But for some reason with my newest fic I’ve already posted 3 chapters the last few days and it still only has 20 something kudos. It feels like I’m pulling teeth and it’s making me doubt why I’m posting it at all.

I completely understand.

The reblog ratio is awful and so is the comment ratio

Secret headcanon that Jaskier and his sense of curiosity is a fucking menace on a normal basis, and even worse when geralt finally brings him to winter in kaer morhen

Jaskier at Kaer Morhen is like herding a toddler who seems fixated on finding everything that could potentially kill them

Listen, Geralt knows that Jaskier isn’t human (okay he’s known this information for a few months because it took him fucking twenty years to realize Jaskier was an elf), but just because he knows jaskier isn’t human now doesn’t make the witcher any less worried about him injuring himself

Because as the years have shown, if there’s one thing other than music that jaskier has a special talent for, it’s getting himself into trouble

So really, geralt just must be an idiot if he didn’t realize what was going to happen bring Jaskier to Kaer Morhen

One really bored bard trapped in a half demolished keep riddled with tunnels, hidden rooms, and high places? 

A recipe for disaster

Geralt is notorious for forgetting that beneath all of the pomp and circumstance of being a bard, jaskier is actually pretty competent, and with that competence comes an insane ability to climb, otherwise known as the bane of geralt’s existence

On their first day in the keep jaskier immediately finds the highest point to climb to, a crumbling tower looming over the courtyard

Geralt spends a nervous hour searching for his bard before spotting him and promptly, as jaskier would call it, ‘flipping his shit’

He snatches his bard from his spot on a rather fragile looking wall of the tower, bundles him and blankets and deposits him in front the the fireplace while he makes supper

By the time he returns with stew, jaskier has already spirited away with lambert, who has undoubtedly promised to show the bard some tunnel or other

It’s only then that geralt realizes it’s going to be a very long winter

No amount of overprotective grumbling from geralt manages to convince jaskier to stay within his sight, much to vesemir, eskel, and lambert’s amusement

Vesemir’s amusement starts to fade the day he comes into the main room to find jaskier high up in the rafters, swinging about like there isn’t a thirty foot drop to a stone floor waiting upon the wrong move

Eskel begins to fear for jaskier’s tendency for high up places after spotting the bard somehow scaling the creaky bookshelves in the library

Lambert is by far jaskier’s worst enabler, and his steadfast partner in crime

Together they manage to give geralt, vesemir, and eskel a number of heart attacks

The time they disappeared for hours beneath the keep exploring the tunnels

The time jaskier insisted he could surely climb his way around the outskirts of the keep without coming inside (geralt shut that one down halfway through)

The time jaskier decided to ‘make friends’ with the monster living in one of the hot springs

The time they found a trapdoor in the pantry and were stuck for three hours

The day jaskier and lambert invented ‘aard the bard’ will go down in history as one of the most stressful days of geralt’s life

Even for all the stress that jaskier causes geralt with his endless stream of curiosity and pranks pulled between him and lambert, geralt still manages to enjoy the time together all winter

Geralt just thanks melitele that his hair is already white, so at least he won’t be getting any gray hairs from the stress jaskier puts him under

Soon it will be time for them to return to the path, to monsters, and witches, and camping under the open sky

For now, geralt holds his bard close and prays to whatever gods might listen that jaskier might not get himself killed tomorrow

My writer brain: Write something

Me: Which wip?

My writer brain: None of them.

Me: Do you have a new wip idea?

My writer brain: No

Me: Then what am I supposed to write?

My writer brain: Write something

I always love seeing this comic because it interprets Tumblr as a gigantic theater ruled by absolute chaos where sometimes somebody just stands up on their chair and shouts and we all pay attention

this post is from THIS YEAR

had to fact check and holy shit 2020 really has been 3 years long.

Impossible

WHAT THE FUCK

Real quick: that was when THAT person reblogged it. I went back a couple reblogs to get this proof that it’s from 2.5 years ago:

so!! these are the first couple of concepts for that witcher roleswap au i’m workin on

yennefer is a witcher, school of the wolf bc i dont want to over complicate things. even as a witcher she’s ambitious, so she gets hired on by queen calanthe as a live in monster hunter and combat specialist. when pavetta dies, yen takes up a maternal role for ciri, training her and keeping her safe.

geralt is still the one who claims ciri as a child surprise, but he does it as a laugh bc he read about it in his mythos classes and thought it would be neat if royalty owed him something. yen ends up going through a lot of the classic geralt stories looking for ways to break the bond between him and ciri, and ends up working with geralt more often than not. yennefer is also trans, so jot that down.

actually love is stored in the almost middle aged gay couple from a podcast with anti-capitalist themes who have sappy romantic moments every once in awhile in between the plot

Dave: it’s not that Klaus is unromantic… he’s just romantic in really weird ways… like this one time i said i wasn’t comfortable in my body.. and he said- Dave: “well i’m comfortable in your body”

I have never once felt concerned that someone my mistake all my ally posting for my belonging to that group. If you don't think of others as lesser, you have no reason to fear being mistaken for a member of their group.

fuck dude. end of an era. 2020 has taken everything from us

here’s an article about the accounts termination. god damn

You know, I wish that before the change to the Barbie movies happened, they did a crossover between Barbie Fairytopia and Barbie Mariposa.

They were the same world, just different locations. Elina even said she was friends with Mariposa. It would have been fun to see how that friendship came to be.

Plus, like, Elina and Mariposa are both obviously lesbians, so....

I would absolutely love that. They are two of my favorite barbie movies and comfort movies up there with The Glass Castle
