Reblog or reply to this posh with the heart emoji colour (💙💚❤️💛🧡🖤💖🤍) of your favourite character. I’ll be putting them in a tally and seeing who gets the most. 😁 I’ll go first:

Oh there is definitely ice-cream!
Favourite Flavours:
Scott - Double chocolate.
Virg - Salted caramel.
John - He likes bubblegum ice cream, even though everyone else hates it.
Gordo - He will eat anything but his favourite is Ben and Jerry's Phish Food (duh!).
Allie - Chocolate ice cream and he always puts loads of sauce and marshmallows and sprinkles on it.
Kayo - Something a little bit out left field, like cherry, or cinnamon.
Who stocks the ice cream?
Virgil.
Who drowns their sorrows in ice cream?
Scott and Alan.
They've all probably done it at least once, though.
Who hates ice cream?
No-one hates ice cream. But, Grandma Tracy does hold something of a contempt for it, due to all the times her boys have turned to ice cream as a replacement for her terrible cooking.
Other ice cream shenanigans:
Sometimes John deliberately gives Virgil mint choc chip ice cream, because it's green, just to be annoying. It's not that Virg doesn't like mint, it's just wHy jOhN?
One year, for his birthday, Gordon made Alan a massive bowl of ice cream with, like the biggest pile of extra whipped cream and marshmallows and sweets and sprinkles and chocolate sauce that you have ever seen. It was the best birthday present ever.
Tracy brothers and ice cream.

Does ice cream play a role in the Tracy household?
The event Goose is referring to, when he tells Maverick he must have carnal knowledge "of a lady this time" was the night before they were deployed on the Enterprise.
Maverick had been boasting about being able to pick up a date anywhere so, when they walked into the bar to find it apparently full of exclusively men (and mostly navy men at that), Goose bet Maverick $20 that he wouldn't be able to find some to go home with that night.
What Goose had apparently underestimated, was just how persistent Mav could be when presented with a challenge. Totally unphased, he struck up a conversation with a taller man sitting at the bar. Mav steadily, not so subtly, began flirting with him and he good-natured flirted back, until Maverick began to proposition him for real.
That was about the point when Goose realised that his dumbass of a pilot was actually serious, and pulled him away, marching him back home before he could get any of them into trouble.
The next morning, they were greeted with something of a surprise... Boarding the Enterprise, they were introduced to other members of their squadron and, typically of Pete Mitchell's propensity for shenanigans, there was the man from last night.
Goose felt about ready to expire with embarrassment on Mav's behalf. Pete just groaned, letting his head fall into his hand. The stranger, however, thought it was hilarious and just burst out laughing. He introduced himself as Cougar, and the man beside him (his RIO) as Merlin.
"Goose. Maverick." Nick responded, giving his pilot a long-suffering look.
Pete just groaned, again. Cougar laughed. "Well, I'm sorry to have to break your heart then, Maverick," He teased, "But, I'm married."
Mav opened his mouth and then shut it again. "You're- You- Why- Why the hell were you flirting with me, then?" He managed to get out, semi-outraged.
Cougar shrugged and nodded at Goose. "I heard your friend here make you a bet. Figured it wouldn't hurt to humour you a little, help a brother out y'know."
A grin began to spread it's way across Maverick's face. He threw an arm round his new acquaintance. "You know, Cougar, I think you and I are going to be very good friends."
Cougar laughed. "Count on it."
EOS stares at the soft, fluffy white material covering the ground at her feet. She must be making a face without realizing it, because almost immediately she hears John laugh.
“It’s snow, EOS! You know, frozen–”
“I am very well aware of what it is!” EOS snaps, mildly hurt that John didn’t think she knew what something as simple as snow was. “Snow is precipitation that has frozen into crystalline ice flakes and collected upon the Earth.” She’s still staring at it, however. Of course she knows academically what snow is, but she’s spent most of her existence on Thunderbird Five, or on a tropical island that never truly sees winter.
She’s never been this close to it before.
Cautiously, EOS takes a few steps forward, listening to the scrunchy noise the flakes make when ground together when stepped on. It’s strange, almost like hearing someone squeezing styrofoam, although not as squeaky. Her eyes are still fixed on the ground when something cold and slightly damp impacts the back of her head and breaks apart, spreading chunks of wet coldness through her hair. In shock, she turns back and is surprised to see a sheepish expression on John’s face, along with quite a lot of snow clinging to his knitted gloves.
“What–?” she says, that one word filled with so much meaning that it doesn’t truly need more added to it.
John’s face is very pink all of a sudden under the brighter red at his nose, ears and the tops of his cheek from the cold. Still, he’s smiling even with the apologetic bend to his eyebrows. “It was just a snowball– I’m sorry, I forgot– It’s just… the timing was perfect–” EOS still looks confused, not quite understanding the humor he’s taking from it. His eyes soften at how utterly lost she looks, and he walks over and gently brushes the snow from her hair.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you. Here, let me show you.” He places his hand on her back, and she stoops down as he does, watching, then imitating how he scoops up a handful of snow. “You pack it together like this,” John says, demonstrating the motion, then dropping his own handful to guide her hands through it. When her first snowball emerges at last, lumpy and slightly misshapen though a good first effort, he stands up and gestures at himself. “You get a free hit. It’s only fair.”
EOS shakes her head vigorously. “I can’t throw something at you! I could throw too hard or I could hit you in an unprotected spot or…”
John raises his hands in surrender. “Fine, throw it at the ground then. But snowballs are meant to be thrown, EOS. It’s a game.”
Her eyes flit to him, then the ground, and then back again and he can practically see her processors working. After a few more glances, and even some off to the side in mild distress, she pulls her arm back and throws the snowball as gently as she can at him. It doesn’t even sting as it hits his coat and breaks apart, strewing bits of snow all over his chest.
“Was that so hard?” he asks, a kind smile on his face and in his voice. EOS shakes her head, a smile crossing her own face as she stoops down again, hands reaching for the snow below her.
When John finally tells her they have to go back inside before they’re missed, a good fifteen minutes later, both are lying on the ground, half-covered with snow and grins on their faces.
@callsign-daydream haha nice 😂
Rooster: I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating…and it gets everywhere.
Sad News, David Graham has died, voiced Parker, Brains and Gordon Tracy in Thunderbirds and voiced Parker again in Thunderbirds are Go.
Sadly that's everyone from the original Thunderbirds show has gone now.
RIP David Graham

Penny loves vinyl records. She collects them, and loves going to second-hand record stores.
CaroleGoose my beloveds! 🥰
"And here we are in heaven. For you are mine... at last!"
Nick and Carole on their wedding day! Based on the headcanon I made in this post where their first dance song is: At Last! By Etta James! (Mav took this photo)
My babies 🥺
Also this is 100% their song, no I will not be taking criticism.
Okay- so I’m the first person to hate when the one token main girl character ends up as the romantic lead- BUT THE FACT THAT ROOSTER AND PHOENIX CLEARLY HAD HISTORY AND IT WAS QUASI-EDITED OUT OF TOP GUN: MAVERICK TO MAKE IT MORE PLATONIC IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM
HIM LOOKING AT PHOENIX WHEN SINGING “I WANNA TELL THE WORLD THAT YOU’RE MINE MINE MINE MINE”
THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT HIM
THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER
In Short: MAKE MY PARENTS MARRY DAMMIT
