thunderbirds

Full view otherwise it looks like trash (hurimhilarious)

Adventure time John, complete with tiny EOS thrown in for laughs. He’s supposed to be floating but you can’t really tell because I’m terrible at drawing action, even in adventure time style.

Next up is Virgil. I have him, Gordon and Alan drawn up it just takes a while to clean up the pencil sketch.

This took way longer then it should have!

Anyway, it really amuses me how the new Tracy’s are not allowed weapons thanks to good, old Social Learning theory! Sure, I understand why these rules are in place (we don’t want kids running around with guns now, do we?), but it make the new Tracy’s a bit more… idk. It just made me think of this and this made me giggle!

Virgin British Rail 57 ‘Thunderbirds’ nameplates.

tracy brothers are born in and around the global conflict? probably so would brains & kayo… what a world to come into, maybe that’s why virgil’s so adamant ‘its 2060 that’s not the kind of world we live in anymore’

‘organisation mothballed the stealth mines in 2043′ so maybe at least 3 years of stuff going on – mothballed though that means kept in case needed to be used again so possibly with the expectation that conflict was still going to continue

i think i remember someone saying that the hood vs jeff – might have been big players in all this. something about an energy crisis, given the way the show makes a point about sustainable ways of providing energy?

if that was the case, you wouldn’t blame kayo for being terrified of coming clean – my uncle destroyed the world, and he took your father from you. what if she had loved him? what if he had really been family, before everything? i know that’s difficult to work in though, if she’s so young, she probably wouldn’t have even known a kinder version of the hood, given the timings of everything. oh! how bothersome. if only it had been the global conflict of 2050. well. i was going to write something based on that…perhaps i’ll do it anyway.

Please do

I love seeing people’s interpretations of 2040

You know, that is sort of the vibe I’m getting too.  That Jeff was not only an active participant in the global conflict, but that he was instrumental in some big way of changing something in it – and that the Hood was involved.  I have to wonder – were they actually fighting together as a team and then the Hood – or Jeff – did something that put them on opposite sides.  The Hood’s hatred for the Tracys is too personal to be just wanting technology, and yet he seems content not to come after them personally – except for Jeff.  

So there are definitely wheels within wheels.  And I also think that Grandma, Colonel Case and Lady Penelope know a hell of a lot more than they are letting on.  

Obviously Jeff’s father was not a simple Kansas wheat farmer (as in the original series) judging from what Grandma was saying in “Unplugged” and it seems that the Tracys seem to have made a habit of rescuing people.

Maybe IR has been a family dream for a couple of generations.

So may questions to be answered – and so much inspiration.

We already know that Parker fought in the war and if the war is what split Kayo and the Hood apart it means that it was at least Malaysia vs UK and USA

india now, kayo’s indian

I’m sure she’s Malaysian again.

she was malaysian but she is indian now, ethnically at least, same as brains

Do you have a source? 
I know film Tin Tin is of Indian Descent, but TaG Tin Tin, still sure she’s Malaysian

i know i read it on that review site, the one which crops up a lot as it posts a lot of interviews and preview pics, can’t remember wtf it’s called tho

Well if you find it let me know cause I honestly can’t find anything saying she’s Indian, just Malaysian.
Though the name Tanusha is an Indian name. 
Perhaps she’s mixed. Her dad being Malaysian but her mum Indian, kind of explains her complexion compared to brains…

I like that idea.

(As as side note, Malaysia’s official religion is Islam, so I kinda like to think she’s Muslim too.)

The differences between my two main Cartoon Fandoms

Thunderbirds are Go: Many years after a global war, the world has put itself back together again. The world’s richest people dedicate their lives to helping others, the earth is protected by a global defense force led by a black woman, and there is approximately 1 major terrorist in the world. Everything is very colourful.

Adventure Time: Many years after a global war, the world is crawling with danger, dark magic and monsters. Good people often die or lose their sanity, the resident heroes can often be petty and selfish people, and another apocalypse is probably coming. Everything is very colourful.
