#Tracy Island

[gumnut-logic]

I love this painting. I’m possibly going to headcanon it over the top of the model simply because it adds more possibility of beaches, jungle and pohutukawa groves :D And just look at those stairs up to the Roundhouse.

WIP Wednesday

(In another time zone, it's Tuesday here in the UK still)

This is cheating a bit because I've done absolutely nothing on this, it us the WIP of my 9 year old and my mum. Done with some adapted 1990's Blue Peter Tracy Island instructions.

When you go explore the island that appeared out of nowhere despite being told not to.

WIP Wednesday comes around again

I cannot believe it's another Wednesday! So here's another work in progress teaser for you all Undecided price to whoever correctly guesses what is going on here 😉

‘Don’t you dare scare us like that!’ Gordon bawled. Technically, it wasn’t his fault. It was an unavoidable scare, but he didn’t have the energy to explain that to the tiny's. Dad could have that job when he reappeared from… wherever it was he’d gone. That was still a foggy patch within his memory. ‘I won’t.’ He reassured. ‘We’d miss you.’ Alan sniffed, wiping at his nose with his sleeve. ‘I’d miss you too.’ He wrapped his arms around them as the two blondes cuddled close, one nestling into each side, and their small warmth and reassurance was enough to lull him back to sleep within the scratchy sheets.

My husband mentioned most of the pics I take of my art are taken in really dingy lighting. In my defence, Britain is grey and raining like 99.9% of the time! However, we had a brighter day, so here's the Thunderbirds wall mural in full colour!

[squiddokiddo]

Physically I am here but mentally I'm cuddled up on one of the Tracy Island sofas, safe and snug.

[thunderbird-are-go]

Here is the thunderbirds 1 themed dress. I still have thunderbirds 5 to make and it's going to be complicated because I don't know how to do it 😅

[thunderbirdsera]

Where would you most like to live?

[thunderbirdsaregovf]

I believe all thunderbirds fans have already dreamed of going there. It's my dream to spend a day there 😅

Thunderbirds: Snot of Doom! - A Gerry Anderson A21 News Story

It was another peaceful day on the paradise-on-Earth that was Tracy Island. In the lounge. Jeff was studying a complex chart with Brains. Virgil busied himself with his latest canvas masterpiece, while Scott lay on the couch reading a book. Nearby, Alan and Gordon were engrossed in an exhausting game of checkers. Jeff nodded with satisfaction, “Well, Brains, this new fuel you’ve developed should…

TRACY ISLAND // 2023

[finer-k0alateez]

a puppet on a string

i know it’s a selfish stupid question

that’s why i won’t ask it

it may seem i’ve forgotten my true objective

in truth i can’t get past it

i write and smoke and sing and dance

a song to keep me busy

too busy to notice the empty stands

where no ones dancing with me

perhaps i should focus on you or the others

you all seem to want my attention

you say “you amuse me”

I want you to use me

like ratchets sockets and wrenches

build and fix and maintain with me

because these days i long for a purpose

i’ve learned not to trust in my charm anymore

i find comfort in putting the work in

it’s easy to value a service or object

much harder to value a person

and now that i know i don’t work as a blanket

i aim to be hung as a curtain

i do my very best to play

the role for which i guess im made

each day just like the yesterday;

sit still

look pretty

provide anonymity

turn drab to a colorful gloom

and when the time comes i shuffle aside

cause the one thing i can’t do (am too hurt to try)

is actually brighten the room

[soniabigcheese]

Just a thought here.

A plan was submitted to have the volcano part carved out to house a go kart track.

It was instantly nixed because it was

Bad for the environment and would ruin the overall look of the island

Would weaken the structure of the existing funnel and would collapse as soon as anything would launch

Dad said no

Scott still has the maquette of the original plan and would occasionally bring it out to play with

this is so fun

Already it is Wednesday again!

So, one of my current WIP's is based on this one shot I wrote back in 2020 for one of the march prompts I was doing before I went away.

This is pre-international rescue, so younger Tracy family, and expands on the back story mentioned here. Hopefully it will be enjoyable when it's done!

Some of you may remember the lengthy notes for it that I included on the tumblr post here about the type of centipede that featured in it!

At the time I had been very lucky to only hear stories. I would just like to say I have now seen one of these critters on my return trip and I was not a fan. Forget butterflies and spiders, the Amazonian giant Centipede is the scariest insect in my opinion. Feel free to start a debate on scary insects here!

P.S. I have noted my inbox. Thank you all!

The forest– jungle– area (for there had been some debate for some time as to which it was officially classed at) was probably the biggest thing to get used to. It covered a large part of the island and for miles was all you could see. From the house it looked as lush as an emerald forest from the fantasy stories and as tropical as the mix of colours upon fruit swimming in a punch bowl. What the terrain was like underneath the growth was hard to tell, for the island had a distinct rise in its mountainous rocks, but whether the forest had paths or shear drops or impenetrable places, had never been mapped. “And rightly so,” Dad had explained. He’d told them it was densely packed and that he’d gleamed such immediately from flying overhead with not a slither of sight to the land in which the tree roots entwinned themselves. It was dangerous, was the undercurrent of the explanation, and – despite having been known in his youth to live on the edge of danger himself – he has no intentions for any of them trying to throw caution to the wind. That was what the eldest three sons had taken away from the stern sit down upon their first arrival at the completed house on the island at least. It wasn’t like there wasn’t enough space on the rest of the island for them to take up their time with.
