#SOS Part 2

sos part 2 has me in a chokehold

Just watched SOS part 2 without any context bc i was promised Gordon angst and oh god did they deliver. Ranted to one of my moots about this on WhatsApp but ima say this here as well because geez. no wonder its one of the top rated episodes...

Spoilers for S3 E13 of Thunderbirds Are Go (2015)

I'm aware that the animation improved over the years but blimey... that really made this episode hit hard on another level

Even before the crash, when hes being chased by the villains, you can see the confusion in Gordon's eyes when he sees the missiles not heading for his vehicle, and then the most horridly realistic realisation i've seen in my life when he realises that the missiles were meant to collapse a small underwater hill, and that he cant divert his vehicle in time. AND OH GOD THE ACCEPTANCE. I SWEAR TO GOD THE TRACY BROTHERS NEED TO GAIN A STRONGER SENSE OF SELF PRESERVATION. He doesn't even try to do anything, he just puts on his helmet in a vain attempt to not die.

AND THEN WE SEE THE HUGE ROCKS THE SIZE OF A DOUBLE DECKER BUS FALL ON HIS VEHICLE AND YOURE LIKE "OH FUCK HE MAY NOT SURVIVE THIS"

AND THE FACT THAT IT'S HIS NOT-YET GIRLFRIEND (ACTUALLY THEY MIGHT BE OFFICIAL IDK BUT THEY SURE DO ACT LIKE IT) WHO HAS TO SAVE HIM WHEN SHE KNOWS FULL WELL THAT HE COULD DIE IN HER ARMS

AND PENELOPES USED TO GATHERING INTEL, NOT HAVING TO GO ONTO THE FIELD AND THIS IS HER ASSUMINGLY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF IT??

ALSO THE FACT THAT IF HE'D GONE UNCONSCIOUS A MOMENT SOONER HED PROBABLY BE DEAD BECAUSE HE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO CALL FOR RESCUE

AND OH GOD HE REALLY COULD HAVE DIED IN PENELOPE'S ARMS WERE THIS NOT A KIDS SHOW

THIS IS THE FIRST THING TO AFFECT ME SO MUCH SINCE FRICKIN HOISNY

all of this is spoken as someone who's been a devout pen&ink shipper since the age of 6

Re-watching 'SOS - Part One' for ... reasons ... and am taking a moment to appreciate the absolute brilliance of the launch music stopping abruptly as John appears on comms to check exactly what Gordon's up to!

And then it doesn't start up again, underscoring the fact that this 'rescue' is not an emergency situation.

And then in the 'Part Two', when there is no launch music, but strings and a choir, and not even the engine sounds for Thunderbird Two ... because they don't think it's a rescue.

jessica really said “god forbid women do anything” and doomed an entire people to war by installing her twink son as a false prophet by stealing her cult’s 10,000 year old breeding program propaganda

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

I'm still processing 7-13, in the meantime have this super quick thing! of all the things that happened that I didn't expect, one of 'em certainly was a not insignificant subplot revolving around Silver unintentionally committing international mail fraud.

I've been thinking about this clip a lot
