You have reached the main blog of a twenty-something, avid enthusiast of biology, merriment, and several things fiction- Call me Scarlet! The homegrown flowers here bloom in many shades of passion, so feel free to take a stroll.
So yeah, this is mostwhat of a multi-fandom menagerie and dumping ground for the things which rattle around in my brain. It is mainly Queue-fed, and while my top interests are hella diverse and ever-fluctuating, this is the main group/area of media you can expect the most return engagement with from me in the foreseeable future:
• Dredge
• The Sly Cooper Game Series
• Rainworld
• Making Fiends
• Invader Zim
• Madcom
• The lesser discussed works of David Firth
• Underrated Indie game creators the likes of KHS, Edmund McMillen, Scriptwelder, etc.
Honestly if you’re hoping for something else on or off this list, don’t be too shy! Who knows, you just might unstick a creative block somewhere.
Cont. on for some lists ‘n links.
Tags Guide, Sorta:
+ Scarlet talks about things - I release my worms, i.e. the takes. Pretty much what it says on the tin, a catch all for personal text posts ranging from long winded essays about Blorbo from my shows, infodumping about science, to just sharing something ponging around in my head lately. Usually try to reserve this tag for mid to long form original content.
+ Scarlet rambles about things - same deal, less filter, much more stream of consciousness. Includes short takes. Think of it like a bonus reel.
+ My Memes - self explanatory, ya goof.
+ Masterlists - if you showed up here off of, say, one of my media takes and wanted to know if there’s a highlight reel of mine dedicated to that specific show or series. Right now I’ve only got a couple but would be happy to pile together something else on request if there’s enough material.
Other bits of note:
* Following my interest trends, a lot of psychological and physical horror adjacent stuff is to be in-and-out expected here. Mostly on the level of stuff that wouldn’t get a show kicked off of a tv slot, but with lenient outliers. I’m also a massive bug enthusiast and it will bleed into the overall vibe and in the occasional real life photos i want to share. I will do my best to tag any potentially triggering content, but discretion be advised for the particularly sensitive. Lovecraftian terror fuel makes me go gaga and we’ll probably get along if it does you as well.
* Suggestions and friendly pokes about my blog content in general are welcomed in anons/asks, but not in my dms, thanks!
* This is user is critically and staunchly 🌈🍖
^ Only bothering to get this litmus test out of the way because I have noticed that some of the fandoms I am interested in are magnets for spicy discourse, and media discussion in today’s climate is a hotbed for this bandaid to get ripped off sooner or later. If you are someone who’s knee-jerk response to that emoji pairing and statement without any further elaboration was one of vitriol, extreme discomfort, and/or aggression, this is not a DNI; however, it is a request for good faith and clarification in whatever engagement you may or may not voluntarily choose with my stuff. It is a stern reminder of the old saying about assumptions. Something-something, makes an ass out of u and me. The less asses in the world, the less shit there will be all around.
* Not only am I quite the fanatic for others’ kinetic aesthetic, I’m something of an animator myself, sometimes! You can check out my Flipnote Studio projects over on my YouTube channel or as well on my art side blog (under-maintained at the current moment but looking to improve on that).
The funniest possible thing coming out of the recent Madcom merch drop is a credible reason for any of us with current or former AAHW member OCs to update their lores with the addition of bagel trauma
What a terrible world we live in where you can google wild plants or bugs because you're interested in them and the first results are all "how do I kill this"
Where is the whimsy? Where is the kindness? Where is the love for the world we live in and the creatures we share it with? How did we reach this point?
dearest lord why did you make one of my core obsessions a not very well known tv show from the 2000s that got cancelled early im starving here and have been forever
Honestly really big hindsight shift in the way I look at Caine now that the finale is done is that, while he is in fact very much unlike AM past the surface level roles he puts himself and his human guests in, he’s VERY much like the Narrator from The Stanley Parable. One comparison is watching a far divergence away from a slight inspiration and the other is a steaming hot one-to-one parallel.
They suffer from the exact same sickness, all powerful yet helpless to how badly they want for validation they can’t simply railroad the way to. Writing tales and building stages that take the consent of their precious actors for granted. Doing ‘so much’ for ungrateful guests while failing to realize they are in a deeply parasitic bond running in the opposite direction. Resentful for their hosts’ free will yet devastatingly dependent on it. Lashing out with hate because it’s the only way they understand how to beg for love. The crafters of a story other people realer than them are meant to live, but claiming it as their own, and only realizing where their thinking was flawed when it is too late.
I need to... I need to make some art, I... I need to splatter blood on a page, tear iron apart like sinew with my teeth, need to tell, to scream, to let that creature claw itself out of my flesh
