After over 12 years on this website, I'm actually making an intro post. Will wonders ever cease? 😅
Hi! I'm Blake, or just Geek, (they/it/any, surprise me) and I've been a lurker for years but now I'm trying to be a little more social around these parts. This is entirely the fault of Thunderbirds and its wonderful community finally cracking the social anxiety shell. Thanks Thunderfam 🥰
That being said, Thunderbirds isn't the only thing I've loved this much over the years, so there will be plenty of other things to see around here. This is my personal blog so it's like 70% my brain and 30% fandom posting.
I AM AN ADULT PERSON WHO SOMETIMES POSTS ADULT THINGS. I'll generally keep it pretty chill here on the blog, but I will occasionally post content you might not want to see! It'll be flagged and tagged as appropriate, look after yourselves ❤️
Now, onto the blog guide!
COMMON TAGS;
#the geek yaps - personal posts
#the geek writes - fanfics and writing
#the geek draws - art tag
#ask the geek and it may answer - ask tag
#the geek rewatches TAG - my running commentary as I watch Thunderbirds Are Go for the second time
#AU: Captain Scarlet and the Thunderbirds - the tag for the primary universe I write my Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet fanfic in. Basically instead of keeping the two shows and their respective reboots separate, I'm smashing them all together into a single universe that fits my own tastes. E.g. I'm a Blond John, Ginger Gordon diehard but ALSO am just straight up in love with Black-Haired Virgil. It uses the puppet shows as a base (Jeff is still in the picture) but opts for the updated technology, either presented as-is or as part of Brains continually iterating and improving his own work. Heavy with OCs, many of which are Captain Scarlet OCs specifically because that's the show I got into first.
OC related posts will be tagged as '#OC: [character name/title]' e.g #OC: Larkin Carver-Grey or #OC: Captain Sable. If you're looking for a specific OC of mine you can probably find them searching like this on my blog lol. Same with fics, with links and related posts being tagged as 'Fic: [Name of Fic]'.
CURRENT WORKS;
Lines Left Behind - The chronological beginning of the Captain Scarlet and the Thunderbirds AU, where several of my OCs are introduced first joining Spectrum, told mainly from the perspective of Captain Sable. Ongoing. Ao3 | Tumblr

Errant Fractionality - Tracy Island has to weather a blowout argument that pulls the future of International Rescue into sharp focus, and Gordon thinks it's a good idea to piss off to Brazil for a week with the guy he has a crush on. Ongoing. Ao3 | Tumblr
Unclipped Wings - Scott discovers and rescues a powerful psychic from an abandoned research facility. The consequences are far greater, and much closer to home, than he ever could have predicted. Ongoing. Ao3 | Tumblr
Encore for an Old Song - The Songbird is in custody, and Colonel White must take their measure. They aren't what he's expecting. Oneshot. Ao3 | Tumblr
I Break My Teeth Upon Your Scales - The Virgil Tracy Skyrim Isekai Torment Nexus. Exactly what it says on the tin, with a hefty seasoning of self-insert shipping. Set post-TAG. Ongoing Ao3 | Tumblr

I'll pin and update this post, hopefully regularly. Sometimes I forget things 😅 If you made it this far, by god you're a trooper, thank you for your time! Have a wonderful day ❤️

I'm still playing Paralives. I've just been having some... Technical issues lol. Everyone has settled well into version 2 of the house I built for them. We do not speak of Version 1. It was Bad.
It's fun to see them just chilling out together.
And... Yeah. Scott and Blake have done it again. I don't know why I'm surprised.
I took some screenshots of the house I built for them. I think it looks okay, given I don't really play games with house building as a mechanic;
It was fun! I like the layout. It's pretty sparse on decoration cos I'm running this on a pretty low-end machine and I don't want to kill my frame rate inside the building my Parafolk will be spending most of their time in 😅 but I'm sure I'll keep adding to it as I go.
Think you can guess which bedroom belongs to each person?

Thats another thing I love about flying helicopters is the random and bizarre jobs you can do with them.
Airplane pilots are almost all just focused on getting to the airlines so they can collect the paycheck from sitting IFR in a 737 day in and day out. But who else can say that they are dropping anti-rabies raviolis...
Or placing logs and gravel for fish spawning,
Or hovering over cherry trees to dry them after rain,
Or hunting feral invasive animals,
Or stringing power lines,
Or avalanche control,
Or cattle mustering,
Or tuna fishing,
Or geological surveys,
Or any number of other wild jobs.
Don't get me wrong I like airplanes and flying them, but being an airline pilot never appealed to me when there was so much else to experience.
I realised a bit back I could try and not only draw a fake intro screenshot for Becca, but also TRY replicate the show’s rendering style so I gave it a shot
It’s hard. Really REALLY fucking hard 😭 I think I did her face twice and her hair three times, and I had to do Peregrine over from scratch because the first go was UGLY.
I don’t really know how I feel about this. Sure there were bits I enjoyed doing and look decent but I managed to somehow lose like so much of her helmet in the process (how I don’t know) and I know I am VERY far from getting the style down. But it was also my first time trying to do this so idk what I was expecting.

PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.
Amber gets leave for a few days, he gets to spend time with his family
——————
Packing was always easy to him, always deployed somewhere, always had to move out on a moments notice: Wash bag? check, Cloths? check, Bike keys? Check
Amber sighed shoving his keys into his pocket, glancing around his barrack room, sweeping his gaze around incase he forgot anything, but nothing rang out to him
He grabbed his helmet, preparing to leave before stopping
"Phone..." He reminded himself picked it up just as it buzzed a message from his brother and smiled
What's ya ETA cally?
He glanced at his watch before responding
About 2 hours out, so I'll be just arriving after lunch
He shoved his phone in his pocket, right
He got out locking the door, swinging the bag over his shoulder heading to the spectrum garage, just hearing the footsteps sneaking up behind him and an arm thrown over his shoulder as a hand ruffled his hair
"Hey, there Oompa loompa-" he jabbed Adam hard in the ribs for the nickname "Hey bluescreens" He shot back with a lil teeth
"Heh- heading out?" The Captain rubbed his ribs putting some distance between them, the smaller man placed his bag on his bike
"Ah huh, seeing family" Amber hummed glancing at the blond, who nodded with a soft pat to his arm
"Stay safe out there, and watch the roads"
"Pfft- hey I'm the better driver between us"
"Sadly-"
"Sadly?!" He grinned sitting down on his bike helmet on his lap
"Your just jealous"
"Pfft- okay maybe a little"
"See ya later Adam, I'll message as I'm pulling up"
"You better, make sure the mysterons haven't yoinked you"
"Now why would they wanna do that?" He grinned starting his bike, getting his helmet on, glancing at the Blue captain
"Take care of eachother air wanker"
"You too asshole" He laughed, slapping the visor down as kicked off the stand and drove.
The bike purred as he showed his ID to main gate, who waved him through, the road met him as he shifted gear traveling home
———
The radio hummed in his ear as he tapped his handle bars as sped across the road, he was keeping to the speed laws, as much as he could anyway.
He's been faster on bikes, zipping after mysteron replicates with high speed chases, avoiding cars and buildings, but he guess it was nice to slow ans take his time getting home in one peice once in a while. He glanced towards the scenery, the rolling hills and stretchs of earth, nice views to-
BEEEEP-
His head snapped back straight and glanced over his shoulder a black car roaded on by, and he threw his hands up in the air
"Fuck you too buddy! Least I wanna drive like a normal human!" He yelled knowing well that the driver likely can't here him, but he huffed shifting in his seat watching the black car dart ahead, already nearly out of sight
He let out a breath, so much for being off duty
He pulled a face under the helmet, before smirking
"Can't hurt..."
He increased his throttle and shifted gears, the purr became a roar as he sped up with a cackle in the wind
———
He actually arrived about 15 minute early the expected (likely because he maybe did a cheeky speeding, shh) he pulled up at the driveway, taking off his helmet smirking hearing the door open
"UNCLE CALLY!"
He cackled swinging his leg off his bike, before scooping up his little neice, who pratically jumped at him "HEYYA KIDDO"
His legs gave a little strain for being sat down, but he regained his balance with the bundle of giggles in his arms, he plopped her down, ruffling her hair
"Rachel- Callum I'm sorr-"
"Ahh it's fine, she can give me a hand with my bags," He turned off his bike letting her follow with his bags, smiling at Anna, Calebs wife
"I'm a li-"
"Always early Callum, but I expected that, least your early compared to the other one"
"HEY!"
The voice called from down the hall and they bother laugher as Anna led Rachel back in, and the bastard himself showed up
Caleb grinned, same face as Callums apart from the beauty mark under his right eye, compared to Amber's on his left, and maybe their hair style too.
"Hey yourself, pilot!"
They shook arms, before pulling eachother in for a hug
Amber tucked his head in exhaling, letting the stress of being a highly trained agent of spectrum slide away, even if it was just for a night
"Welcome back bud, come on boots off" he smiled pulling away, following his twin in shedding his jacket and boots, walking into the home
———
The bbq was great, he missed just being a civilian, but then again when has he ever been a civilian?
he was a marine joined young before the incidents that got him into Spectrum
He's always been in the forces always serving his country.
Rachel went to bed, a few hours ago, waving good night to Callum, Anna kisses her husbands face telling him not to stay up too late, as she went off to bed a few minutes ago
Now he and Caleb sat outside, a beer in hand in front of the fire pit, the cold keeping at bay by the warmth of the flickering blaze
Callum exhaled, taking a swig of the beer, closing his eyes
"Cal?"
"Mm?"
"Just want to ask how you are...just brother to brother.."
He blinked a few times raising an eyebrow "the beer gotten to ya head Caleb?"
"Na..I'm just.." a glance away and he picked up on his twins worry immediately
"I'm worried for you Cal"
"Your always worrier though"
"Callum-"
"I'm golden, tired but that's expected, but I mean it I'm really good Caleb"
His brother squinted before turning his head away, taking a swig
They both know, callum can't go into detail of what's happening around the world, originally just goverments and shadow groups working to topple the world, now the mysteron forces, body swiping people, turning a world against itself even more then it was
He exhaled, shifting the bottle in his grip
"I get your worried Caleb, I understand with my job..." He glanced towards his twin and sighed "but I'm really fine" He gave a smile of reassurance
Caleb sighed getting won over "Alright...alright long as your alright" He got a pat against his shoulder "all that matters"
Guess so...Callum thought watching his brother drink, he glanced towards the fire nursing what was left of his own drink
———
He rolled his bike onto base, a few days later, showing his ID before the guard on duty, who let him in with a nod, he parked, taking off taking off his helmet, tracking his away back his barracks home, he unlocked his door getting in, unpacking steadily, placing away his wash kit in the bathroom, cloths getting ready to be washed, he stopped at the peice of paper, eyes tracing over the delicately drawn piece in his bag, child drawing of what looks like him stood proud, orange uniform
He traced over the writing
"The planets protector!" He smiled at Rachel's writing, feeling tear bubbling at his eyes as he sat down steadily on his bed sniffling
"Fuckin hell..." He wiped his eyes with a smile never expecting to find this In his bag
