I know I am exceptionally late for this; it was supposed to be for @virgiltracyweek, but all my motivation died and I ended up finishing it late. And it’s only one part of what I was planning on doing. I’ll hopefully still be able to do the rest of it; it’s vaguely based off some RP things that happened this summer with @sonatanotwo, @flyboytracy, @starman-john-tracy, and @gordoncoopertracy. But, anyway, here’s a Virgil! Being exceptionally confused at the start of a long, confusing, plaid-shirt wearing day.
“Don’t you know how you’ve changed me? Strange how I finally see
I found Home You’re my Home Stay with me.” ~Home (reprise)“ From the finale of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Broadway)
I know, I know, this is Virgil week and what am I doing putting up John art, but I’ve been working on this for a full week (or as much as the humidity allows) because I watched a local production of Beauty and the Beast and the song spoke to me. So I had to draw from it. I may see about coloring it (or having someone else color it, *wink wink*). But either way it was just so much fun getting to draw John and EOS in their uniforms again. <33
Oh my word, she's so CUTE!!!
I’ve wanted to draw this for quite some time and it finally got done. Mainly just a cute EOS with both of her forms: camera and mobile platform as well. It came out pretty well, if you ask me! X3
I had a whole explanation written up about this and then it all got lost when I moved my hard drives into a new computer setup. ;a; Basically this came about from a lot of Star Trek and many chats with @lenle-g about the Thunderbirds Star Trek AU she was involved in ages ago. And, of course, how EOS would fit in.
In short, it boils down to her being an orphaned Betazoid child who stows away on the Thunderbird after they show up to investigate what happened to the ship she was on. After she’s found (and tries to stab J'onn out of fear), she ends up being taken in by J'onn as the only crewman who could help in part with her uncontrolled telepathic abilities. And, while she was only supposed to be on the ship temporarily… she bonds well enough with her half-vulcan caretaker that he ends up adopting her instead.

Iceman cannot start the day without coffee.
Maverick is not allowed to have coffee.
Penny loves vinyl records. She collects them, and loves going to second-hand record stores.
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."
Had very mixed responses to this on Reddit. What do you guys think?
“… But most of all, I’m thankful for my family.”
Thiiiiis… didn’t get done as early as I wanted it to, but it’s still technically Thursday (and therefore Thanksgiving) in some parts of the US, so I won’t fuss. But I wanted to do some nice vignettes of the family having Thanksgiving together. Especially after the things that have happened in Season 2, I think they all need some family time to recuperate! I was planning on adding Kayo and Brains in the Scott picture but i just ran out of time and energy after today. But I hopefully can do a little follow up picture with them so they’re not left out <333
So here you go, Thanksgiving with the Tracys! Featuring Virgil, Grandma and MAX making the meal (with some possible off-screen help from EOS), setting the table with Gordon and Alan (sword fights with the butter knives are an extra service), EOS making sure to hold all the heavy, breakable dishes for stil-slightly-space-sick John to serve himself with (headcanon that he came down with just enough time to not be a bed-ridden blob in his room, but he’s still not very used to Earth), and of course, Scott leading the family in a toast.
Okay, these may take a bit of explanation. @flyboytracy got an anonymous ask the other day that made Scott shrink down to about doll-sized ( we still haven’t decided on an actual size because it’s just stupid crack XD) and I was inspired to draw it. So have a teacup Tracy and pocket Tracy :3
(Doll furniture not included, pocket-sized Tracys may require more sleep than normal-sized Tracys, may also be significantly easier to lose.)
Iceman: When I am rich *points at Slider* you're getting therapy, *points at Wolf* you're getting therapy, *points at Mav* you're getting double therapy. Everyone's HEALING.
