My Thunderpride Secret Santa gift for @tracybirds.💛💛

Prompts:

• Scott gets a heckin' break/beach christmas.

• Brains and Kayo, engineering buds.

Scott getting a break, I pictured him chilling out on the beach so I decided to combine it with the beach christmas, sparkly shorts and Santa hat complete with holly shades.

The engineer prompt gave me an excuse to draw buff lesbian Kayo, she lifts weights to kick ass, carry girls and now also work on heavy machinery. I also haven't drawn Brains in a long time so that was fun.

Happy pride month everyone! So, Thunderbirds queer headcanons, let's do it!

Disclaimer: these are my own personal headcanons and how I view the characters, they are not meant in any negative way.

Scott: Oooh he's a hard one isn't he? He's just so straight in my head, it's hard to see him as anything else, but I do think he could lean towards bi/pan as I feel that, if he met a man that he just clicked with, like someone in the air force that he had an instant bro bond with, that could slowly turn into something else as they grew closer. But I think it would take a very special someone to turn his head that way.

Virgil: Virgil changes for me, I bounce from gay to ace with him. To me he seems much more at peace with himself than anyone else and more self contained and content. He's well rounded and has so many hobbies and interests, I just don't see him needing or wanting anyone in a romantic or sexual way. He seems like the one that is the least flirty, least bothered by the side characters that people ship him with. In every instance in the show he seems to be more into the situation and excited by learning new things or the rescue (like in Inferno, he was just there for the fire fighting).

John: The John in my head is a demisexual/ pan/ poly piece of perfection. He is attracted to people that he finds interesting, challenging and that he builds a bond with. He does appreciate physical attractiveness and can look at someone and think they are gorgeous and sexy, but he wouldn't ever dream of doing anything sexual with them until he has forged an emotional connection to them. He has to feel secure, wanted and to trust them before he will go there, so he doesn't really feel sexual attraction until that bond has developed. He doesn't see the gender, he doesn't care, he is interested in them as a person. I've written it in that he's had crushes on males and females and that he'd consider more than one partner, and while I've talked about his previous relationships, I never stated the gender because it didn't seem important but one of them was male. He loves the person not their bits and bobs.

Take his wife who he adores and thinks is the most beautiful, sexy, attractive person in the world. The moment he started talking to Selene he was intrigued by her, she challenged him and drew his attention with her attitude and relaxed nature (even while dangling upside down in need of rescue). The moment he saw her he thought she was beautiful, but in an abstract way, he didn't see her as a potential sexual partner, he saw her as someone he'd love to get to know better. He kept thinking about her, intrigued by her lifestyle and her personality (what little he'd seen of it) and wanted to see her again but also couldn't bring himself to make the first move (luckily she did it for him). On their first date he was shy, anxious and overwhelmed, but she recognised that and let him call all the shots and make all the moves. She let him take his time and when she recognised that he was uncomfortable in the social situation, she took him away from it, letting him be himself and relax. When they kissed it was his choice because he was curious, and she interested him but he was also starting to feel more of a sexual attraction to her because of her personality and how she treated him, meaning he bonded quickly. They talked a lot, they got to know each other, they forged that connection and two months later, only after he felt that bond, did they sleep together for the first time. By that point he was all in and their bond has only deepened.

I don't see John as antisocial (that's a bad term) he's asocial, because he has to feel comfortable in the social situation and with the people he's there with. When he's comfortable and feels secure, he's fully relaxed and very sociable. He loves his family, he loves his friends and he's happy to talk to them. He's also happy to talk to people outside of that group in a situation where he feels in control and on his terms . You see that in the show, he's fine with rescuees, he's friendly and approachable. The only time he's uncomfortable is when Penelope lies to him about how big the charity auction will be and that throws him out of his comfort zone. He was obviously happy enough to go when he was mentally prepared for a smaller gathering. So no, he's not antisocial at all.

I also don't see him as touch avoidant. He grabs people when rescuing them, Scott puts his arm around him, Brains hugs him, he reaches out to touch people. Nothing in that indicates that he's uncomfortable with physical affection, he just doesn't like it from strangers or people he's not close to. That's just sensible.

Ok I'll stop rabbiting about my baby now (but come on, you all knew I'd do it.)

Gordon: That Bi/ pan prince! Gordon is there for it all. He, much like John, cares about the person more than their gender. The Gordon in my head falls headlong into crushes all the time but only when he's single, because he's a loyal boy and when someone has his heart he doesn't look at anyone else. Gordy is open and approachable and so friendly that everyone is drawn to him, so he forms close bonds and instant attachments (sometimes to his detriment, bless him). Gordon appreciates a beautiful face, a beautiful body and an equally beautiful personality. In my head he's had relationships, flirtationships and even one night stands with all people of any gender or sexuality, trans and cis. It's Gordon, he doesn't judge, he just loves.

Alan: In my head (and my story) Alan is bi and in a relationship with Brandon (the ship is SpaceBear for those that haven't been here four odd years when @hedwigstalons (cheered along by @avengedbiologist , @hodgehegposts , @eirabach, @olliepig and @myladykayo ) and I came up with the name for it lol).

Alan finds both girls and boys attractive (though he doesn't care if they are cis or trans) but he's quite like John in the fact that he has to really vibe with that person before he can see them in a romantic way rather than just a sexually attractive way.

Kayo: I mostly see Kay as straight (shipped with Rigby, I freaking love that guy and the ship) but I could see her being lesbian too, especially if it's someone that she's grown close with (kinda like I see Scott). I know some ship her with Penny by that's not for me, purely on a level of they feel like they wouldn't be a healthy pairing and I feel they are too similar to work. But that's just me and this whole post is supposed to be about how I see them I guess.

Brains: Look at that sweet little boo! Obviously this is going to sound cliché but I see Brains as a sapiosexual. He values intelligence above all else and could never be attracted to someone that he couldn't have stimulating, thought provoking and excitingly intellectual conversations with. He sees a big brain on someone and gets all kinds of butterflies. That's why I think he works so well with Moffie, because she's on an almost equal intellectual level as him.

I think he can see the value of physical beauty and chemistry, but he's far too self controlled to be attracted to someone that might be seen as "pretty but dim". He doesn't waste his time with useless projects when inventing and he wouldn't in his romantic life either. Once he finds someone intellectually stimulating and then he might find them sexually attractive too. I feel he naturally leans more towards the opposite gender but he's definitely had a few crushes on those of the same gender with big brains.

Penelope: I actually see Penny as more aro/ace. She never seems to actually like or appreciate, or even notice, Gordon's attentions. And when she does respond it's only after she realises that she could have lost him. I see it more as her feeling deep friendship for him and maybe confusing that friendship and love for him with something sexual and romantic. I feel like she felt making a move was more expected than something she wanted to do.

There, we're done. Please remember that these are my personal opinions and how I see them in my head. This is how I write the characters in my story but, as I've stated before (and I will reblog that statement too) I don't see the need to spell their sexual orientation out in my story, I work it in as and when it develops in the storyline and when they show me. I don't shoehorn it in, because I believe that, especially in the 2060s, it won't be such a big deal anymore. No one will care who you love and especially not the Tracy family who are the most accepting people in the world. If one of the family rocks up with a new partner (or more than one) the others will just say hi and continue their day, just as they would if they were straight. Because that's the kind of family they are and that's why none of these headcanons are explicitly expressed in my story.

Hello!

This is...Brains' mun (let's see if you can guess who it is). I decided to make this RP blog because I've seen lots of RP blogs, but sadly there's none for our man Brains. Let's give him some justice!

I won't always be active because my personal life will be in the way, but I'll try to be around a lot.

I accept every kind of topic on this blog EXCEPT smut or 18+ related content, whump and angst; therefore, I'm open to fluff, alternate universe AU's and crossovers. What does this mean? If you want to interact with Brains on a medieval era, as an alien in space and whatsmore, I can perfectly do it. For any specific RP ideas or scenarios you have in mind, please contact me on this blog, I'll get OOC and answer you, hoping to clarify your concerns and accept your ideas with pleasure.

I don't have any knowledge of the TOS series and the Thunderbirds movie, so my version of Brains will be purely and exclusively TAG related.

That said, I hope you'll accept warmly me moving Brains' strings and me interacting with all of you! Eventual more rules or ideas on how I intend to play this character will be added on this post, and the post will be pinpointed on top of this profile.

Things relating to my RPing:

When I'm OOC, I use // at the start of my messages; if I don't use that it means I'm texting as Brains, same thing for public posts.

When Brains texts someone his writing is excellent, and when he's speaking with someone he has his signature stutter (Brains' interactions when chatting with someone will be in brackets anyways, [""] so you should know when he speaks and when he texts or replies to posts.) It feels unnecessary to me to make him stutter even when replying to posts/messaging, so I hope you'll understand that.

If I roleplay, my answers tend to be pretty long and I tend to be pretty detailed; if my answers get short or I don't reply anymore it means I lost the inspiration for it or that I forgot about it. It's best to text me just in case, so we can solve the problem, or I'll be the one to text you and let you know.

If I offend anyone as Brains, or if I tend to vert towards an Angst/Whump in my replies please let me know. I tend to do that and sometimes I don't even notice, but I always try to contain myself.

I am OC friendly. If you have OC's that want to interact with Brains go for it.

Left for Dead

Part One

Scott Tracy breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the wheels of the ‘conventional’ jet he was flying left the tarmac.

His never failed to feel lighter once he was no longer touching the earth, but this time the relief was more intense than usual.

As he guided the executive jet – once Jeff’s favourite plane, a sleek long-haul commercial jet that had been the Aviation arm of Tracy Industries flagship product, and dubbed ‘Tracy One’ – exactly through the ‘gateway’ at the end of the runway climb out, the radio crackled to live. The heavily accented English of the Departures Controller for Trondheim Lufthavn gave him his final instructions to clear the Lufthavn’s controlled airspace and join his filed flightpath out of Norway and back to Tracy Island.

He only let himself relax as he hit his cruising speed and altitude, and activated the pre-programmed autopilot.

Reaching back he caught the retractable tray table and dragged it towards him, before picking up his insulated mug, a custom-made gift from Brains that allowed him to ensure he had hot coffee available on a solo flight in the plane.

He couldn’t help glancing back at the safe built into the bulkhead at the back of the cockpit. He still had grave reservations about getting TI involved in the construction of the World Government’s new high-security computer system to be based in Norway; but the World Government had wanted Tracy Industries for their reputation for excellence and security, the TI Board wanted it, and most importantly John wanted it.

Scott tried not to think about the fact that his brother was likely to include a backdoor to the system.

But Scott had been convinced that it was in the best interests of all involved to take the project on, and he had gone to Norway to meet the key personnel and personally take receipt of the plans. TI facilities would produce the various key components and they would be shipped to Tracy Island for construction by one Hiram K. Hackenbacker

Scott sighed, even Brains had been excited by the prospect of getting to look at the designs, and the attendant programming that the hardware would be running. Something about the specifications for the “new ‘unbreakable’ encryption protocols”, and “the next major breakthrough in computing, practically quantum!”

Scott was worried that the two – three if Alan inserted himself into the mix – computer nerds would back-engineer the TOP SECRET computer and incorporate it into International Rescue’s equipment.

When – and Scott was not an optimist when it came to this sort of things, so it was when and not if – the rest of the world figured out that they had that technology, there would be some uncomfortable questions that Scott would be left to try to answer.

And he was resolutely NOT thinking about what Eos could do with all that processing power. Scott had reached a truce with the Space Monitor’s pet AI, but he hadn’t made peace with it … her. She had come dangerously close to killing John, ‘misunderstanding’ or not, ‘self-defence’ or not.

Harming his family was the one sin Scott Tracy could not forgive.

The next hour or so disappeared quietly as Scott brooded on his misgivings, carefully watched the plane’s gauges, and the sky.

Sometime after the onboard computer indicated that it had successfully completed its mandatory handshake with Chinese Air Control Scott stretched, arching his back and spreading his toes within the confines of his shoes. Flying alone was great for relaxation, flying alone long distances however … no matter how good the autopilot, a good pilot never left the controls unmanned.

Tracy One, while fast, was no Thunderbird One. I’m getting soft, Scott thought bemused. Too used to the multiple mach speed of his usual means of transportation.

Settling back into his seat, Scott once more scanned the gauges … only to see them all fade out as the engines whined their rollback to idle and shutdown.

Scott swore, unbelieving, hands once more on the controls, as he quickly hit two buttons, setting his transponder to squawk distress mode, and deploying the RAT, a small drop down wind turbine that dropped from the planes undercarriage and caught the airflow, generating enough power to get some gauges and controls working.

Fingers automatically worked at the controls, reconfigure for maximum glide, run through the midair engine restart procedure. And …

Nothing.

As Scott immediately recommenced the restart, he was on the radio: “Mayday, Mayday, Maday. This is November Tango India Zero One Charlie. Twin engine roll back, loss of power. Attempting restarts. Requesting assistance to squawk location.”

No response. Scott cycled through another engine restart attempt as he waited, nervously watching the altitude numbers seemingly freefall. There was no way he was descending that fast, surely?

Two more attempts at transmitting the mayday resulted in silence. The engines refused to restart.

Scott reached for his collar and swore. The meeting had been so high security even IR’s integrated collar coms were not allowed. And Scott had been in such a hurry to get back to the Island that he hadn’t changed his clothes, only ditching the ordinary – albeit obscenely expensive – coat, suit jacket, tie and cufflinks.

No direct link home. No mid-air rescue for Scott Tracy.

No matter. He could manage.

Abandoning his attempts to restart as the altitude numbers screamed down under the threshold.

His plane was going to kiss dirt. All he could do was make it as gentle as possible.

Scott switched his attention to scanning the ground below him, looking for a suitable space. Thank god he had elected to fly west towards home, meaning he was over the Gobi Desert.

Sand was preferable to water, no matter what Gordon said.

Sand would make for a nice soft runway, provided Scott managed a tail-first. Letting a leading edge dig in would be a disaster. Even with the International Rescue approved safety features retrofitted to the standard executive jet, there wouldn’t be much for his brothers to recover if she dug in and flipped, or windmilled around a wing.

“Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. November Tango India Zero One Charlie. Restart negative. Unpowered landing necessary. Requesting immediate assistance to squawk location.”

Scott breathed carefully, focusing on his search and not the possibilities.

There!

Off in the distance Scott spotted a level area, large enough for the plane to coast to a stop on her belly.

He breathed out, mentally calculated the distance and descent, and carefully reconfigured the plane, setting the ailerons and stomping on the rudder to bring her tail around into the head wind and shed speed: side-slipping. He gently slewed her back the other way, ensuring she maintained the correct heading, but shedding altitude and speed.

This was a dangerous aerial ballet. More so than any dogfight he had been in during his service. One wrong move …

Scott’s hands were sweating on the control yoke. His heartbeat deafened him.

Oh, there was going to be so many lost of control drills for his brothers in the future. It had been too long since they had run any.

His luck held all the way down.

He managed to line up to the long axis of the space, and his tail kissed sand at the edge of the smooth space.

Metal screamed as sand ripped at the undercarriage as Scott gently lowered the length of the plane onto the dirt, and deployed all flaps and slats, increasing the resistance to the air, even as the sand resisted the movement of the hull.

And Scott became a passenger.

He kept his feet at the rudder pedals, trying to keep the plane moving in a straight line. Yaw risked rolling. But it was largely a futile effort, the path was set, determined by physics, geology and … geography!

Scott’s heart leapt into his throat as the plane hurled itself over the top of a rising dune that had been hidden by his approach angle. It was a significant drop down the other side, and the plane had lost enough momentum that it had little aerodynamic power.

The nose fell, and Scott heard yelling.

It took the eternity the plane was falling to realise that it must be him.

Impact was hard.

Metal screamed as sections of the cockpit rushed towards him, dislodged and distorted.

Something above him broke loose, swinging down into his field of vision.

It was the last thing Scott saw.

Notes:

This is Part One of my last Febuwhump Prompt from MariaShades, Part Two will actually address the prompt, but work's been mental, and Scott's been a little shit and really didn't want to crash his plane ... Oh well, better late than never.

And if I post this half, I'll stop faffing around with it and actually write the second half. In theory.

Happy pride!!

Now time for some personal headcanons:

🪽 Scott - He/Him - Straight Ally

The only straight Tracy brother, he supports his siblings 100%. Scott eats queerphobes for breakfast.

🎨 Virgil - He/they - Demiromantic Asexual

Virgil's true love is his art and thunderbird 2, he has however fallen for a couple of close friends in the past but as of present he isn't looking for a relationship

🚀 Alan - He/Him - Bisexual

Alan always knew he liked girls but he only figured out that he also liked boys after getting a crush on one of his classmates at school. He later wrote his crush a valentine's.

🫧 Gordon - He/They - Panromantic Asexual

Gords is a hopeless romantic, he catches feelings for people quite easily and expresses his love quite openly. He first discovered his panromanticism and later found out he was ace.

🪐 John - He/Him - Questioning and Unlabeled

John doesn't like to label his sexuality but is also unsure of his attraction. He's also not particularly interested in relationships but believes that maybe someone will capture his heart one day.

⚔️ Kayo - She/Her - Lesbian

Kayo always knew she wasn't interested in men, she felt self conscious because "girls were supposed to like boys". She later started crushing on a girl she met in secondary school and had a sudden gay realisation.

☀️ EOS - She/They - Demigirl

After befriending john, Eos didn't have to think solely about survival anymore and now had time to explore humanity and all it's concepts.

After a long journey of self discovery she found out that they were a demigirl.

⚙️ Brains - He/Him - Gay

Brains had been in the closet a long time and had tried to hide his sexuality from the world, he forced himself to date women but it always made him miserable. After meeting the Tracy family, it took him several years of watching the others come out one by one and all supporting eachother, that he found the courage to come out himself.

🍪 Grandma - She/Her - Polyamorous Bisexual

As a young woman Grandma used to hang around a lot of gay bars and had several relationships before meeting her husband. Right now grandma isn't focused on finding any relationships as she's more occupied by her role in IR.

🌸 Lady Penelope - She/Her - Questioning

Penny isn't sure of her orientation, she's quite private about personal things like dating so she's working it out by herself.

🔓 Parker - He/Him - Straight Ally

Parker has never had any doubt about his sexuality, he has however worked with a lot of queer individuals during his "misspent youth" where he learnt all sorts of things about different identities.

I also just want to say that even though these are my headcanons I'm also open to everyone else's too.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
