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.

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:

It's been a long time coming since I conceptualized this guy, but I think I'll finally introduce him to tumblr: meet Lenny!
I've been cooking with his character on discord; long story short, he's Diesel's near-identical, scaredy cat cousin that has a severe phobia of steam engines after a one-sided altercation left him with a permanently broken nose
He genuinely means well and does want to be a useful engine, the problem is his fear results in him physically malfunctioning to the point that he blows his engine out more often than not from fear; on a technical level, nothing is wrong with him, it's just his psychological issues heavily impact his ability to work
Both his US Voice and UK Voice would be Mr Nervous from The Mr Men Show
I've had many a talk with @superarti over her character Whisper developing a friendship with Lenny, as well as the ocs of @lunamooo @british-hero @railwaycreature and @dieselworks-devotee
If you want to learn more, feel free to drop questions about him!
What do you see, Starscream? …This is super inspired by Soundwave’s original/g1 bio (shown below) 😮💨 and like how in Marvel G1 Soundwave kinda does have that friendly facade.. but Starscream tended to see him how he truly is whereas Megatron and Shockwave tended to blindly believe in Soundwave’s loyalty (but then even Starscream still had a little bit of a blind eye to Soundwave’s act a few times too)… I wish Soundwave having that affable surface yet opportunistic personality showed up more in continuities tho, it would be so interesting to see him like that again and more
I vote we give baker a nail or something and let her explore anywhere she wants! With something to defend herself with she’ll surely be able to share her meals with all of Pharloom <3
I have been thinking about how Baker would hunt down prey animals.
Of course, Baker's Hunting Knife is ONLY for hunting, she doesn't do combat with it! That'd be WEIRD and RUDE. So in an actual fight she's uhhhh bad.

A Furness Railway K1 Class, otherwise known as a Seagull :)
These striking little guys were the predecessors of the larger K2 Class, aka the Larger Seagulls (Like Edward!)
Thought it would be fun to draw one!
I'm about to contradict myself, but I honestly sometimes hate wasting time trying to figure out novels and plots and stuff.
Like. I have a life to worry about. I have to take care of myself and battle my disabilities. Soon I'll have to worry about mortgages and groceries and careers. I don't have time to sit around daydreaming while time slips away. Brain, if you want to write something, then GIVE me something to work with.
It also sucks trying to write something but it never works out. Fun becomes a chore and I guess I'm not cut out for it if I can't even power through an original work.
"Write it anyways because it needs to exist to be good." Yeah, it could also be incoherent and inherently flawed because you have too much of an ego to criticize and find nuance in your own work. I'd rather find something that works instead of wasting my time writing bullshit to satisfy a quota.
A word to the wise - it is ok to have an idea, realize it doesn't know where it wants to go yet, and then let it hang on a hook for a while. That's actually pretty normal. I often have an idea, poke it around a bit, and then it sits on the stove marinating for a few years as I go about my life and mull it over in the background.
Not every idea that occurs right now has to be written right now (and thank goodness).
Dunno that that really "solves" the issue. Life is busy and writing is time consuming. But it's something to remember.

stratt and grace and the rest of the phm science team running on 4 cumulative hours of sleep at an unscheduled conference. dimitri and lokken are trying to explain a new complication in the hail mary's fueling system and the resources necessary to iron it out but they keep getting interrupted by government officials butting in until grace (who doesn't even look up from his laptop and checked out of the conversation two days ago) snaps "we raise our hands to speak"
complete silence for like 3 seconds. the french prime minister sheepishly raises his hand and stratt smiles for the first time that week (grace buries his entire head behind his laptop screen for wont of a better option, like jumping straight into the sea)

This is a broad question but out of any of the characters in your My World AU, which one was the most fun to design?
Ooh fun question... Probably the Nether Raiders and the Brute Piglins.
Although with some of the Raiders, if I could go back and change some details I definitely would,, and Piglins are more challenging to draw in general, still, coming up with these designs was fun.
I've actually come up with the Raiders' designs at the very beginning of this AU, you can go back and find the proto-designs, it was some of my first MW AU posts haha
