I’m Silverskye13, feel free to call me any variation of Silver/Sky/13 at your convenience.
It / they pronouns, it/its preference, though if that makes you squirmy, feel free to use they/them.
General Info:
I’m an artist who sometimes moonlights as a writer. This is mostly a personal blog? I tend to float between the fandoms I enjoy ambiently, and occasionally throw in personal art to spice it up. Hermitcraft has been the big one.
Additional places you can find me are:
The SkyeServer! The SkyeServer is an open Discord server that just serves as a little hangout spot. Come join us, and be kind <3
AO3 at Silverskye13. All my chaptered fics go here, as well as a few of my one-shots. All the Hermitcraft one-shots haven’t been moved over there yet. They probably will be at some point, and I’ll update this when they are.
Redstone and Skulk is my current active fic, though I'm picking away slowly at several. This fic also has its own little set of playlists if you wanna listen along to the character vibes!
@beforeiwakecomic is my webcomic! It is on haitus since I’ve had a lot of intense life events come up this year, but the prologue is complete and posted.
@spazzcatreblogs is my reblog blog, where I queue most things I think are neat instead of tossing them on my main account.
Most major websites I’m on, I’m on as Silverskye13. I am by far the most active on Tumblr. Mutuals feel free to ask for my Discord/Telegram info.

Commonly Used Tags:
#the barking artist is my catch-all tag, but I’m going to be trying to use it for art exclusively from here on out. You might find a few text posts scattered in there, whoops.
#spazzcat barks is going to be my new, just, general talking tag
#spazzcat doodles is another art tag I use specifically for quick doodles,
#the barking writer is my writing tag, and it’s where 99.9% of everything fic related goes. I also have individual tags for the multi-chapter fics I’ve posted to AO3. They are simply tagged with their name, or a name acronym. [ex. Casting Rain, Monsters Splitting Hairs].
#answering asks is my ask tag, and includes any doodle/writing responses I have to asks in my inbox. My inbox is always open, I really like talking to people! Feel free to send me things. :D
I also have some smaller tags, more for organizational purposes than anything else. spazzcat liveblogging for liveblogs, spazzcat wips for work in progress drawings, the dark is rising is for various creepy things I enjoy that you may want to blacklist if that isn’t your thing, and sometimes I use darkposting for vents. I also have a delete later tag, and regularly purge the account of everything in it.
General FAQ:
I use Photoshop 10, 2019 ed. to draw with. Regular brush tool and the pencil tool are staples, and most of my brush packs are 10+ years old from DeviantArt. I frequently use references when I draw. I’m also a regular user of Windsor Newton Watercolors and COPIC markers. My favorite paper is Arches Cold Press.
I run on EST, but I do try to compensate for different time zones by reblogging posts at specific times of day.

The contradictions of what a knight should be as it pertains to chivalry is so interesting. I didn't realize there were so many conflicting opinions as to the perfect image of a knight. Obviously on paper, a knight is supposed to be noble in all the ways that one would think of chivalry today,
This was a code of conduct that governed noble lords and soldiers in how they approached battle (namely when fighting another noble opponent), but contradictions existed.
One line that stands out to me particularly in the book i'm reading is the fact that a knight can be merciful and vengeful.
I think about how that's illustrated in some of the most famous portrayal of knighthood. Gawain and the Green Knight comes to mind. While Gawain isn't being "vengeful" in the story, he throws the concepts of chivalry out of the window several time through the tale.
The following paragraph from the book provides some context:
There were many reasons why the writers of late medieval France, like their predecessors, carefully debated and explored the values and ideals of knighthood. First and foremost, there were fundamental tensions within these models that were never fully resolved: between the humility and piety of a true Christian and the vainglorious importance of honour and reputation in chivalric culture, for example; between the powerfully masculine model of warrior aggression and the more restrained, civilized– even effeminate– notion of the courtier; and between expectations of male behaviour as youths and as adults.27 Moreover, normative
models of masculinity such as the knightly ethos may appear to offer solid and stable images of manhood, but it would be extraordinary to imagine a static and simple model of masculine behaviour that remained unchallenged for hundreds of years, immune to changing social contexts.
Slowly yet surely the "I can't write I don't want to write I hate this I hate this" is turning into "oh yeah, I had good ideas. I should like, write them again" and that is progress

Fuck Meyer-Briggs whatever typology. This INTFP shit is only for redditors up their own asses to substitute for a personality. Use my new typology instead!
she is sarcastic, overly-blunt, critical, defensive, self-aggrandizing, self loathing.
this walking contradiction. this nebulous figure in our head that screams that it exists. BUT ISN'T ALLOWED.
eventually, some of us decided to actively reach out to him. a lot of early attempts were destroyed by him. but slowly, the barrier on expression was lifted.
and we saw her turmoil first hand. we experienced her crisis of purpose. we experienced her fight for identity. we saw her panic attacks, and we began to understand her habits. we got to know red.
red grabs our turmoil by the neck and barks at us to run while it gouges him.
every part of us that is unpalatable, forbidden, impossible, terrifying, it goes to him. he holds it.
his methods are extremely questionable. his desire for retribution is dangerous. she is enraged. for us. and she is tired.

i love settings where the characters dont die when they are killed. like steven universe's poofing mechanic and dungeon meshi's revival and tadc's nobody-can-die. i like it when you can kill the characters and its just fine
Been playing a lot of "psychological horror" games lately, and man
nonschizophrenics will simply never understand that "what if it was all in the person's head?" will never be scarier than a monster that actually fucking exists.
oooh what if you're crazy :o what if you hallucinate a goobly gobbler? well mate you fucking deal with it. rent's due monday. but an actual real goobly gobbler coming for my gnuts? that's different.
are you planning to table at icc next year/in future years? so sad I missed you this weekend, would love to say hi and get some wonderful prints in the future!
I hope to yes! This weekend went really well, and it seemed like my main hiccups in my sales / set up were just that I didn't have enough variety -- something I can definitely work on this year.
Me and my brother in law @raptorsonthemoon are selling together, and we've also discussed possibly submitting portfolios for some larger cons next year. Pax East and FanX SLC, among others. This will be my first time really seriously trying the con circuit [I've exclusively done Indy cons in the past, and that was literal years ago] so I'm kinda nervous but! Also excited!

The bonus links animatic I’ve been wanting to do ever since I read part 2 of Bonding Exercise from Moments Between by ezdot!
I couldn’t get the imagine of Mage floundering about on the ice and falling with War sick and suffering watching Mage in the background. I also started reading Witch Hat Atelier, which has absolutely stunning cloaks and draping fabric that inspired me to animate Mage’s cloak for this
