WIP-from-the-poll #5

This one’s from the fluffily-titled Burn it All.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A sudden breeze caught the bottom of the solitary figure’s black overcoat and it flapped noisily, tugging him backwards as if to encourage him to turn back. The man ignored the suggestion and remained unmoving, his hands clasped behind his back and his gaze fixed on a very particular segment of the lightening sky.

Barely a breath after the first rays of dawn glinted off a tiny speck on the horizon, the peace was shattered as the sleek silver and blue rocket plane roared on to the scene. Whoever it was trapped out here, International Rescue was here to save them, no questions asked, no moral judgment.

The ship slowed dramatically, but with absolute control, immense power restrained and channelled with precision. The rocket traced a wide loop of the abandoned city, apparently scanning for its would-be-grateful-rescuee and the dark-clad man watched, eyes narrowed, waiting.

Thunderbird One veered to starboard, and came into into a hover precisely above the old town hall - the tallest, most elaborate building in a place that had come to epitomise ostentatious waste. She gleamed - a shining symbol of all that human ingenuity and passion could achieve. A beacon of hope. The ship slowly rotated to face the watching man, staring down her nose cone deep into his soul.

And then exploded.

This is my all-time ever favourite tattoo that I've got.

The amazingly talented @teapotteringabout drew the insanely detailed island then gave me permission to get it tattooed.

I can't tell you how much this tattoo means to me and how much I love it.

💙🧡💚💛❤️

This month my Tumblr turned one year old! Thank you Thunderfam for such a lovely welcome (seriously the best fandom!). It's been FAB getting to know you all. My notepad has never been fuller of WIPs that are in serious need of editing...and I love it!

Still my largest piece of art to date - Thunderbirds wall mural!

Okay weird ass dream I had last night

In it I was reading the wiki synopsis for an episode of TAG that doesn’t exist. The plot was that Thunderbirds 1 had some sort of season1-EOs like moment (how I have no clue, awake my best guess is Brains testing a new AI controlled autopilot system) but instead of going down the “humanity is out to kill me I MUST KILL IT FIRST” route, it (she? She.) becomes obsessed with her pilot.

So after a rescue or something, 1 just decides to not let Scott out and basically kidnaps him?? And the rest of the episode is the brothers trying to find a way to stop Thunderbird 1 and get Scott out before she runs out of fuel (I think she was doing laps around the world or something?), and all without destroying the ship because they SORTA NEED IT

I’m so pissed I didn’t get to watch the episode in my dream because I’m pretty sure I had a tab open with it ready to play but then I WOKE UP 🤬

If anyone wants to do something with this concept feel free-

Thunderbird 1 in all it's glory. A bit wonky but let's just say Scott had a bit of an accident trying to land it in the hanger 😅
