Time for more Tracy Island comics - this time it's a Supermarionation crossover special largely inspired by some of @call-me-casual's posts! ✨🏝️✨

Gordon crosses currents with an old coworker who can't resist some backhanded compliments about his new job; John gets harassed in the workplace; Alan makes his first mortal enemy; and Virgil tries to peacekeep from a distance with a VERY firm grip on Scott to stop him copying the indestructible Captain Scarlet! >:/

Rest In Peace Gordon ‘Tiny’ Tracy, who decided to take an unscheduled and unnoticed crash dive in the middle of London this afternoon.

He had a great 2 weeks.. getting rescued from a charity shop bag, then going to Slough. He will be missed 😔

Mun speaking .... my theory on Parker.

He's a contradiction, lived a rough life in the streets, but once he's been given a golden opportunity, he grabs it with both hands and proceeds to convert himself into a bit of a snob

His employer, Lord Hugh has given him very strict instructions to filter out the succession of possible suitors.

Only because they know that they're only interested in her wealth and status

So ....Parker sticks to the script of filtering out the charlatans simply because of his own sketchy background and can see right through their facades.

But along came the rather breezy Gordon Tracy (new money) and despite several awkward attempts at wooing and catching Lady Penelope's eye, which raises Parker's hackles somewhat. In his eyes, this snot nosed kid doesn't stand chance against M'lady

His heart is in the right place, however, his job of rescuing people, does tend to keep them apart.

So, they might be kept apart somehow

As for Sherbet, they have a love/hate relationship because Bertie does tend to be very needy, possessive, and jealous ...

Add onto that fiercely loyal and protective

Just my thoughts regarding Parker

I hope that makes sense

Okay I've been debating posting these for ages but screw it, I spent too long on them to just let them sit in my folders so they're getting posted! (Sorry to my followers, you're gonna have to deal with me jumping into another fandom for a bit pfft)

Basically, literally a decade ago, I watched Thunderbirds in the height of my brony phase and drew the Tracy's as ponies. Now, more recently, I rewatched it, and I drew them all as ponies again. And ever since I've been drawing them a lot I love them!

But uh, yeah! Here's these! There will probably be more so look out for that I guess x)

Love love love love this view of John - very solid academia side-hustle headcanon for him.

Re-draw of [this] because to this day I still have a lot of love for the idea that in his downtime John visits various Universities across the globe - giving Astrophysics lectures and talks with bright, upcoming astronauts of all nationalities about life in space, Laser Communications and his discovery of the LucilleX10-37 .

He gets flustered and flushed with a pleased, embarrassed kind of pride when they quote his dissertations back at him (including the one Scott likes to appreciatively use as a doorstop), quizzing him on the finer details of the Tracy Quasar and his extensive studies on growing plant-life in space.

John often has to bring along the glasses that Brains made for him to correct the short term shift in atmospheric pressure that happens within his, like any astronaut’s, eyeballs when going between Earth and Orbit. He’s been presented with fine print by more than one student that he couldn’t read, and so he’s started keeping them in the top pocket of his suit jacket at all times, just in case.

Scott likes to say they make him look the part, but John’s only really worried about looking professional. Tie straight, cuffs pressed. His Father’s reputation and the Tracy name shadows over all of the boys no matter where they go and John would hate to do anything to tarnish that.

He’s not thrilled about the attention he gets within scientific circles, but he has to admit that he is doing some groundbreaking stuff aboard Thunderbird Five, so it’s only natural that the community is excited about it - whether they know that International Rescue is where he’s creating his results or not. He’s proud of his work, and of the upcoming generation of Astronauts, Engineers and Physicists he’s helping to train - his little brother Alan included.

Plus it’s kind of nice to have a list of names on his HoloComm that he can call when the rest of his brother’s just don’t get why the next penumbral lunar eclipse is so exciting to him. Space nerds have to stick together. He needs to practice his chess so he can beat Eos more often, after all.

I suppose since I have nothing else to do, I'm opening up art requests.✨

Reminder that anons have been turned off because of all the dodgy stuff happening lately, I no longer feel comfortable making art for people I don't know. I'm sorry if that's an inconvenience, I hate it as well but apparently we can't do anything here anymore without needing to look over our shoulders for thieves feeding stuff into AI or creeps or bullies.

This advert keeps coming on while we’ve been watching a series the last few days and every time I cackle because…

I think I’ve finally found the answer to all the “what cologne do you wear?” Asks in Scramjet’s inbox (yep weirdly there are three of them I haven’t got around to figuring out an answer for!)

Camp-chic, American wilderness vibe, high places, peregrine falcon…

They even got a dark haired, blue eyed, dimpled guy to do the ad 🤣

DAT YOU SCOOTER?

[mrmustachious]

thinking about kayo who calls her dad every year on his birthday

thinking about kayo cooking the meals she grew up with for the tracys and sharing her culture

thinking about them celebrating malaysian holidays on the island

thinking about kayo wearing traditional clothing to lady penelope's galas. and penny and the boys joining in too

thinking about kayo and brains bonding over their upbringing, sharing traditions and cooking tips and being there for each other when each of them misses home

just. kayo embracing her heritage and culture which is something we never got in the show

(name is Virgil's (Latin poet) full Latin name)

[thebirdfantasy]

since this week's been full of behind-the-scenes content, I thought I'd pitch in once again with some TAG concept art of the Tracy Island Villa which I found on the Thunderbirds Are Go Wikipedia

[call-me-casual]

Working on Peregrine’s saddle

Is very hard

Thoughts?

[spectre-0ne]

Um.

[dontcallme-johnny]

Update to my previous post, I sorted it out! The full thing isn't much better in terms of Scott's situation lmao! @squiddokiddo was definitely right, it makes total sense to be a green screen photo-op, despite how odd it looks from afar. Overall looks awesome though, I would have killed to go to the actual event, such a cool opportunity.

Finally time for more Tracy Island comics!!! ✨🏝️✨

In which Gordon gets a little too intense on a longhaul flight with Alan; and Virgil is so good at remembering to reload Pod 4 but sometimes the simplest things just slip your mind!

John has a few emergency solutions but Gordon CANNOT miss his TV show and will kill him if Troy Tempest swoops in with the Stingray sub, all dashing and heroic to "rescue" his old co-pilot. So John will have to grit his teeth and agree to another of Lady Penelope's fancy social gatherings... 🪦

[tracyislandinmymind]

I realise the sensible answer is that none of the Tracy boys would have social media for security reasons.

But the idea of the Hood trying to use it to gather intel and it’s just Alan posting Tiktok dances with Gordon and videos of Scott falling in the pool.
