"Curiosity is the greatest form of rebellion." -Robin Ince

hey, it’s me. my pen name is eulysian (which i have changed SO MANY TIMES over the years, oops), and i have a number of other online pseudonyms but in real life my friends call me riven.

a little bit about me: i like staying up late because that’s when the best (and craziest) ideas come to me, photography, and tea. art is a passion of mine— as is writing— but recently i’ve found my free time rather sparse. high school is crazy and thinking about colleges is incredibly stressful.

i have a lot of favorite books, but truthfully many of them are dear to me not because of the value of their contents but rather because of the fond memories i associate with them.

i also read a lot more than i write because it’s generally more productive since my easily-distracted mind quickly latches onto new ideas and how to improve them. this is probably evident given i’ve only published a few (very, very few) works on this website while my favorites list is enormous. though, to be fair, i write a lot more than i let on. it's just that most of my writing will never see the light of day, which i'm completely fine with. to be honest, i prefer collaborating on works of fiction to writing solo. editing is quite enjoyable for me.

i'm not interested in sticking to a just a few fandoms, though i'll admit that i do have favorites. i'll read anything under the sun so long as it has an interesting premise, which you'll find reflected in my favorites section. i've had years and years to expand it so it's quite large. edit: see below

update: i've been pretty inactive on this site for years (oops, so has everyone else though!) and it seems that 's admins have deleted a lot of the works i've favorited over the years. that's a shame, but oh well– with the way this site has been trending, it was bound to happen. if anyone still lurks around here, i'm on AO3 under the pen name teadrunk!
