Hello there! Mostly fanart and reblogs over here
Like what I do? I have a ko-fi! -> https://ko-fi.com/spectralgecko
I'm an artist, writer, and occasionally a musician. Also an available proofreader.
Hey y'all! Lots of fanart and eclectic fandom posting over here, plus miscellaneous postings from life and a lot of reblogs.
Tagging is perfectly fine, and the ask box is open if you have any questions!
My original content output is not super consistent. If you were hoping for any kind of regular content short of reblogs and silly day-to-day stories, alas, this is not the right blog. I sporadically drop art into the void and then disappear for a month. I do have an art tag below, though, for easy perusal!
If it takes a while for me to respond or get to an ask, don't worry - I've probably seen it and haven't had a chance to get to it. You're welcome to check in, though (I may answer privately).
School work and life in general eat up most of my time. Sundays are pretty reliably free, though.
Additional Info:
Other blogs ● tags ● fandoms
Other Blogs:
@sqarletsworldlesswandering - Various shenanigans about the gorgeous indie game Worldless (100/10 recommend it - Steam has a free demo here).
@sqarletgecko - A separated blog for more original stuff and official stuff. Dormant for the time being (also, my apologies for the confusion with the deactivated version of the account - I needed to rearrange, and now it's all confusing)
@bugfablesampedau - A designated blog for all my Bug Fables Amped shenanigans.
General Tags:
SqarletTalks - any and all rambles from yours truly
AU tags are "[fandom] AU: [name]". I will also often have a shorter version that's just "[abbreviation] AU". Ex: TSBS AU: Everything is Fine; EiF AU
Fandoms:
While by no means a comprehensive list, here's some stuff you can find on my blog at the moment. The gist is "indie games and some youtube shows."
Stuff I've made content for:
The Security Breach Shows: Mostly TSAMS, LAES, and rarely MGAFS. Some of that is more tangential and AU related, so those don't have show tags besides "tsbs au." The one that's currently got an actual AU tag is "Everything is Fine"/"EiF." Bunch of OC and concept designs. There's also the Hyper Light Drifter/HLD AU. I'm not very active in this community anymore. I will maybe finish the astral designs sometime.
Worldless: I occasionally reblog Worldless content here, but that mostly stays over on my other blog, mentioned above.
Black Resin: A small game currently looking to be published. It's a neat lil' game! You can find the demo here.
Portal: I've got some crossover stuff with that so far.
Minecraft/Steve Saga: Yes the Steve Saga is... quite old by now. But I rediscovered some old art I had for it, so that's going here. There's an AU/Speculative Worldbuilding project for it that's tagged "Worlds and Wonders"/WaW.
Bug Fables: I finally made art for this! Lots of miscellaneous stuff and AU stuff. The main AUs I have are the Dead Lander Hoaxe AU and Bug Fables Amped. Acolyte is in progress.
Other stuff I've not made (much) content for yet but enjoy:

Left to right, top to bottom: Daisy, Boco, 5701, Isabel, Sonny, Bear, and Marshall
Ft. also some concept sketches for Sonny. As I'm sure you can see the diesels are based much more closely to their RWS liveries than their show liveries, especially in the lack of grey faces. I'm not quite sure I like Daisy's design yet, I don't feel like she quite conveys the porcelain feel I want for her. We'll see how that changes as I mess around with her.
Also a friend left me with the amusing comment that Boco looks a bit like a frog, Bear looks like a bee, Daisy looks like a pea plant, and Marshall reminds her of an owl.
Oh also Marshall is Spencer's coach. I don't think Spencer is ever stated to have a designated coach but it seems a liiiittle odd to me that the Duke and Duchess wouldn't have some sort of coach that they normally travel in that's actually theirs as opposed to loaned from the railway. So now Marshall exists. Spencer occasionally calls her Marshmallow or Mally to tease her, and she can and will retaliate with nicknames such as Penny.
Eridians can't see*, smell, and hopefully can't taste. Does this mean they only have 2 fucking senses?
I thought Grace would already be freaky with just the ability to perceive light alone but it would probably be way worse when it gets learnt that he has three additional senses over Rocky and all other Eridians for that matter.
Like,
Rocky: Constructing the biodome will be easy. The only thing we'll struggle on is sight since humans have 3 senses instead of 2.
Grace: 5.
Rocky: what?
Grace: we have 5 senses. debatably 6, though its unproven. sometimes people even think we have a 7th.
Now normally I don't (and probably won't) post much art up here but I might as well upload this here.
This is my interpretation of what Elizant I looked like!(From Bug Fables)
I imagined her wearing a skirt similar to Elizant II, however at the same time I feel like she would wear something more modest like a long gown so I drew an alternative version.
I noticed that the upper half of her outfit looks similar to the Ancient Crystals, so I did the same theme for her skirt.(I tried to make them look like plates or waist plates if you know what I mean).
Now according to the lore books, as far as I know it's said that Elizant I had battle scars, now this is probably just an implication, I did some doodles on what they would look like.
I also came up with the idea of her having thin fencer swords(this is a nod to Elizant II wielding swords in her sprites).
And just a tad fun fact: I got some inspiration from Queen Elizant II's early concept art found on the wiki!

my friend and i were talking yesterday about how funny it is that the Iron Lung/BloodyMary fandoms make Simon some kind of eldritch eel creature, like, i fear y'all lost the plot of the movie a little bit. don't get me wrong, Eel Simon looks badass or whatever, but Simon resisted becoming part of the Eel so wholly that he became a tree and everyone still said, "yeah but what if the eel became part of him anyway make him a scary feesh". y'all that man is a Plant. the Plant Simon Truthers corner of the fandom canNOT be so small as just my friend and i, where are all my homies who love Plant Simon and his green eye and his arm made of vines. all my homies love Plant Simon who lays in the sun and drinks plenty of water and grows little flowers in his hand.

You've gotta have good biodiversity in your reasons for not killing yourself. Rotate them out like crops when the yield gets low and the soil poor. We're mixing our metaphors. Whatever helps it stick.
You like warm blankets. You like the sound of birdsong. You have a pet that needs taking care of. You have someone to outlive. You have a loved one. You think death would be boring. It's coming for you anyway. Death is patient. When was the last time you had cake? Your favourite musician is going on tour. Or maybe just a halfway decent band at your local bar. You've never seen an elephant. Isn't it amazing that the sky is blue? Aging is a gift not afforded to most. Don't let the bastard grind you down. You can't mend any suffering in the world with your death. You want to see if you can grow herbs on your windowsill. Killing yourself seems like so much effort. What does tiramisu taste like? You're trying to be curious. You're angry and spiteful. What you want more than to die is to rest. This sandwich is so good you don't want to die. Not so long as there are plums to eat and somebody, anybody who gives enough of a damn to haul them to you. A stranger on the internet is holding their hand out and asking.
You haven't finished that book. It's almost strawberry season. There's a chrysalis on the porch that should open soon. There are pastries you've never tried. It's going to be sunny tomorrow. You're going to look very distinguished with gray hair. You have to outlive him. There aren't any easy ways to die. Your package is supposed to arrive on Friday. There are people who will love you that you haven't met yet.
Hi everyone! Exams are approaching, but before the final one, I've decided cooking so hard… I have a few more drawings in progress. I'll post them all, just please wait^^
But I might disappear for a while as I recover and rest from my exams. Wish me luck!!
I'm keeping the dragon parade going, and also trying to get a handle on perspective and experimenting with new brushes

(For some reason, this song gives me Nil and her parents vibes)

Ugh the scene where Grace tests the theory on the taomeoba to see if it’ll kill the astrophage and it works but instead of celebrating, he starts crying and is visibly distressed gets me every single time.
Like that’s such a loaded way to feel bcus yes he was able to figure out how to kill the astrophage, yes he was in fact the man for the job, yes they were right to send him.
But!! It’s that, mixed with the fact that the guy who even helped him get to this step is still unconcious or dead for all he knows!! And he has no way of knowing how to get this to the other planet it needs to go to if its the latter!!
Ryan Gosling, the actor that you are!!!
