That gif of Virgil getting his leg over getting off the scooter always makes me giggle.

Flexible Virgil 🥰😂

Ferrari designed a special helmet for Virgil Tracy. The seven stars on the top of the helmet represent Virgil’s parents and brothers. The wings on the sides are a tribute to Thunderbird 2 and his duty as a pilot. The colors of the helmet are inspired by Thunderbird 2’s iconic design.

For the first time, Ferrari moved away from its traditional red design — not for a race, but to honor a hero...

Puppets playing pool will never not be amazing

Soo impressive they made this set. How teeny tiny must the snooker balls actually be! And the way the room is carved into the rock. And the puppetry to give them any control of the cue whatsoever 😍

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Are you safe?

Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.

I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.

I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.

A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.

The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.

I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.

…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.

(I've run this poll twice before, expanding it significantly for the second run. With about a year passed since that second run, I thought it was time to add another couple hundred names to the list and have another go.)

Every time this crosses my dash, I spin, but I’ve never known who both characters are

Tommy Pickles (Rugrats) protecting me from Dorothy Gale (Wizard of Oz).

As a concept it sounds like fever dreams or a bad drug interaction, not a serious scenario.

I had Dracula protecting me from Shredder in the Turtles. I said I was safe but then ... Dracula! And am I?

Best take a self defence class and keep working at the gym.

Series 1 Virgil and TB2!

😍💚🥰

Always my favourites. I can hear David Holliday calmly talking in the scenes.

Justice for the piano!

Alan why are you taking out your frustrations on the piano? What did it do to you? You've shown no interest in it at any other moment.

Instead of defending it, Virgil joins Gordon in furthering Alan's misery.

Silly fanfic idea where Gordon and Lady Penelope trick the Tracy brothers into becoming their trial kids and they don’t catch on for at least a week or two.

hebuiltfive

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Question is, which one works it out first?

It has to be John… John’s close to both Penelope and his brother…

As for everyone else? I reckon Alan and Virgil are the last to figure it out. Alan because the treatment isn’t too different, and Virgil because he doesn’t care to ask why he’s being overlooked after.

princesskayjay

Honestly Alan might enjoy the excuse to pester Gordon even more. Really play up being the annoying younger brother.

Mwehehehe he’s pushing Gordon to his limits >:D

Love this idea 😁 Virgil knows for a while but he's quite happy with the situation. He only lets on when Gordon tries to go "Dad-ish" about piloting Two and Virgil can't take it

He actually turned out better than I expected. I had a hard time choosing colours but I think it looks nice and that I did the best with the colours I had available. I kinda freestyled the palm tree details on his shirt but I'm really happy with it!

I love these!

A random rant about "big" social media.

I've been on social media for 20 years+. It has served me pretty well. I've reconnected with people and become aware of things that were happening either in my area or further afield. Both my main "in physical form" hobbies use it heavily in a members group so we know what's happening. So I don't really want to leave.

However, wtaf is with all the videos of people talking to cameras? That's all it seems to want to show me. Even worse people talking to cameras in cars whilst driving the cars. Please either drive the car or film this "content". The algorithm isn't that clever because it hasn't worked out I reject every single one where somebody is filming themselves driving.

Of course these have been there for a while and I just scrolled past. A bit like adverts used to be on tv, they were just there. Except they don't go. There's just more of them. The tv programme i.e. stuff I actually follow doesn't come back. Just more camera talking interspersed with people yelling at me to lift weights (I already do. It should know that too.) Then it actually wouldn't show me a post from three days ago written by our band conductor, presumably because he just wrote it rather than filming it as a reel in his car.

I have a feeling this is as useful as opposing the tide, though if anybody does know a way to stop some of the cr*p please let me know. I suspect my options are to leave, with the inconvenience that brings, or put up with an increasing amount of people tapping things, getting too close to the camera and having one dimensional opinions shouted at me.

Thank goodness for Tumblr is all I can say for me being able to write this.

You know what’s awesome about this picture?

Gordon looks like a little kid who gets up on Christmas morning the moment the sun rises and races downstairs to open his presents - pyjamas and bed-hair and all.

But everyone else looks like they’ve been up for hours, taken time to dress up, probably already eaten a big Christmas lunch and are now gathering together to exchange gifts

Gordon is Christmas morning with little kids in the house. Everyone else is Christmas for grown-ups, gathering together at grandma’s house or something.

John is delighted to be pulling a cracker with his Father even if said father refuses to look at him or the cracker

I reckon Penelope was so ahead of her time she saw Queen Elsa's dress coming app. 50 years later.

Virgil - what's going on with your legs being so far apart?

You should go, get lost in TB2, maybe Virgil will come and help you out.

This is incredible. I need a time machine so I can go!

Today I learned that Nick Park is writing a Tell-All memoir from the perspective of Gromit and it's perhaps the fastest I've ever preordered anything.

Making Gromit speak is a terrible idea that ruins the character. Having Gromit write a book where we get to hear everything that goes on in his head is the most in-character thing I've ever heard.

And if that wasn't enough the excerpt clinched it:

"Yes. I’m a dog. And you’re reading a book written by a dog. Which of us is the odder? I guess we’ll just have to get used to it. Now, this is supposed to be Wallace’s story. And maybe, at some point, he’ll finish building the machine he was going to write this book with. Currently he’s stood on top of the dining table and wondering why he fitted a typewriter with wheels and a flame-thrower (we made an agreement for new inventions – there’s even a list on the fridge, and 'No Flame-Throwers' is at Number 3). Until then, this is my story. The tale of what goes on behind my eyes. And I really do know where all the bones are buried. So. I guess it’s time I spoke."

Also his author bio:

"Gromit is a talented knitter, baker, and gardener. He has twice received awards for his marrows in competition. Although he is widely read, this is his first book. He would like you to know that he is a good dog."

Incredible stuff, October can't come soon enough.

I'm so excited. I'm hoping he mentions Feathers!

I love the photo of them in the mansion. But nobody is manning the space satellite Jeff! You actually have five sons! Wow! 😂

I just wish it had been Series 1 Virgil. He is just 😍

womble1

@sailing-on-a-puddle well John does look like he's just paused there and is ready to jump up and leave. Do you think Jeff only let him down for the photo.

#thunderbirds 1965 #poor Tos John #all the puppets at Penelope's

Ah maybe! He's also the only one of his sons who got a chair because the constant standing in 'space gravity' (whatever it is on Tos Five) has done funny things to his legs
