Happy Thunderbirds Day To Everyone Who Loves All Things Thunderbirds! 💙💚🧡💛❤🖤 FAB

Please write a part 2!! Fix poor Gordo!!!!!!!!

Malfunction

A ficlet for @misssquidtracy, as she challenged me to Gordon and decompression sickness. 

Mild cursing because sometimes life calls for it.

Hope you enjoy and sorry Gordo…..it’s just not your day!

“Thunderbird Four to Thunderbird Five. John, do you read me?” Gordon called, as he continued to survey the disconcerting readouts in front of him.

“Reading you, Gordon. Aren’t getting bored, are you?” the space monitor quipped.

“Not a chance,” Gordon smirked at his older brother’s holographic form. “John, can you do me a favor and run a diagnostic on Four?”

“What’s going on?” John immediately was all business as he began pulling up his systems.

“I’m not sure,” Gordon admitted. “My electrical board is going haywire.”

John began scanning Thunderbird 4 while also alerting the Island of their situation. If something was wrong with Thunderbird 4, they needed to get Thunderbird 2 out to him right away. “I’m scanning now. Anything else I need to be aware of?”

“Everything else appears to be hunky-dory. I still had one more day out here before Virg was supposed to come to pick me up,” Gordon frowned as he looked out into the vast ocean in front of him. He was enjoying some alone time along the ocean floor as he did some research of his own, testing out their equipment and ways to enhance water rescues.

“Looks like your trip is about to be cut short, Gords,” John replied glumly. “I’m not reading any failures aboard Four. I should be picking up what you’re seeing.”

“John, what’s going on?” Scott’s voice commanded across the coms.

Gordon noticed the worried holographic forms of his two eldest brothers appear.

“Gordon is reporting what appears to be an electrical malfunction on Thunderbird Four,” John reported as he continued to do a more in-depth scan of the submarine craft as well as any anomalies in the ship’s vicinity.

“Gordon, are you okay?” Virgil’s deep voice registered.

some people refer to Virg’s shoulder-mounted LED torch as the ‘disco cannon’ and I just

Hilary Swank cartwheeling through Mission Control >>>  the feel good content we’re looking for. 

To get some insight on playing an astronaut going to Mars, Hilary took a trip to Johnson Space Center and spoke with astronaut Jessica Meir who lived aboard the International Space Station for over 200 days!

Watch the duo talk about living in space, life on Earth after a mission and more! Check out her whole visit HERE: https://youtu.be/8NRJvUlpuKI

Is it just me, or does Season 3 Scott have more grey hairs than Season 1 Scott? If that’s true, then I love the attention to detail! Awesome job animators and character designers!

Daily Dose of Thunderbirds

The Commander of International Rescue.

I received a wonderful piece of feedback on When the World Goes Boom this morning, so when I went to bed this arvo feeling like crud, I dragged the fic out to reread it. Two things - firstly, it wrecked me. I don’t know what the author was thinking, but OW! Secondly, it’s still WIP and has been since May. I hit chapter eight and ran out of fic at a very inconvenient spot. And now, despite me being that despicable author, I’ve been traumatised by my own fic. Poor Scotty, Virg and Allie. John and Gordon are the only two Tracy bros left standing and they’re pissed and have gone vigilante. I’m going to have to shoot myself with my own candy cannon.

So, anyway, can’t write at the moment, so I guess I’ll just have to stay in the resultant headspace and apologise to Scotty by posting his gorgeous visage here.

Nutty

(at least I have some notes to look at and try and work out all the plot threads…so many plot threads. This is why Nutty should never stop writing in the middle of a fic…ever ::headdesk:: )

PS: That first pic up the top? Heartbreaking ::wails::

Happy Thunderbirds Day!

...and I just realised that I parroted @misssquidtracy​ almost word-for-word for that starting part.

...oops.

So far today I’ve managed to spill a full cup of coffee all over my desk, leg, notebook and floor, and have killer cramps.

It is definitely a mug cake kinda day.

Layla is absolutely incredible and I would die for her.

I have a fabulous costume in mind

*wheezes* he’s so cute!! Am absolutely in love with this idea!

Hello, I would like to make a statement:

Owl Brains.

That is all.

Alan: I will put down my “A” to make “A”

Virgil: I will add to your “A” to make “AT”

Gordon: I will add onto your “AT” to make “RAT”

John: I will add onto your “RAT” to make “BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC”

Scott: [flips the board]
