Hey Thunderfam? I just wanted to say thank you. My first real fandom way back when was Transformers and if you were in the wrong forum... yeah. It could get real toxic, real quick. Comics vs cartoons, vs G1, vs Beast Wars, vs different anime and reboots and the more recent movies and which publishing house of comics you follow... yeah. If you were in the wrong 'camp', you found it out fast and hard, and the toxic masculinity was lurking in every corner.
Thunderfam is so different. I've only had one or two less than pleasant encounters, and 99.999% of people just open the proverbial door and welcome you in. TOS, 2004, TAG, comics, it doesn't matter, and bringing in the wider Gerry-verse is met with 'the more the merrier!'. Variations and different takes get a 'cool!', and if someone tries to hate on something, it usually falls on deaf ears, rather than the dog-piling I've seen on forums.
Six wheels glide like a flamingo-pink cloud,
Beneath a crystal canopy of soundproof glass.
Parker’s silhouette guides the silent fortress,
While the velvet night blurs into streaks of neon,
A plush leather sanctuary purring through the dark.
The highway dissolves into a launching pad,
Delivering us to the edge of the sky.
The cosmos bends into a rotating wheel of stardust,
A velvet theatre spinning in the deep.
Gravity dissolves,
Lost to the rising brass,
Lost to the shifting shadows.
Figures drift on shimmering, invisible wires,
Suspended,
Swaying,
Caught between the stage and the infinite stars.
A plastic voice sings to a room of drifting souls,
Where sapphire nebula smoke rises and blurs the dream.
The music pulses like a cosmic heartbeat,
Vibrating through the ether,
Catching the pink starlight,
Catching the chrome edges of a world made of celestial gloss.
We slide down a trajectory of starlight,
Caught in an eternal, weightless cabaret.
The rhythm pulls us closer,
A planetary tide,
A launching pad into the boundless deep.
We drift,
We float,
Suspended forever in the warm, magical glow of the neon rim.
This summer heatwave is brutal; please take a nice cooling Tracy Island comic to get through it! ✨🏝️✨
A rare TB1-less day where the pool is out and usable! Gordon's lifestyle is "prank first, self-preserve later", Virgil is on his side only when it's funniest; and Scott suffers the Eldest Child condition of refusing to lose races to his baby brothers but not being above chasing them stark naked across the island! >:0
And John is trying to have a relaxing time (on his canon Barbie lilo, the greatest gift the live action movie ever gave us), but Alan carries the tragic Tracy curse of zero forethought. Haunting photos taken moments before disaster... 🌊🪦
if the tracys/ir are a puppy pile then the Stingray team are a bunch of bunch of mixed litter cats fostered togetherwith a couple foster fails. you didnt adopt them the cat distribution system adopted you
difficult to herd. bites you :). more affectionate then they are often perceived so long as its on there terms. pretty sure couple of them are more feral then their information sheet let on. found family but good grief im gonna batbatbat bat ypu with my paws now. incredibly sweet goodboysandgirls & also foul bastards the lot of them
spectrum is a zoo. they gave the cheetah a dog to calm down. the cranes hate you. no one knows where the bear fucked off to till they find it paddling around in the moat around 'monkey island.' some how its very well organised and chill. and no one gets mauled by the tiger.

Blushing.
Bu-luh-u-shhh. Land Humans 'Blush'? Most of them at least.
Marina doesn't quite understand its purpose. Or why they do so yet. Humans are pretty in their own funny way. at least to Marina they are.
And all different from each other, different colours. hair and skin and eyes. And the way the skin acts. so soft and reactive. especially when someone blushes.
Embarrassment is one thing that causes them them to blush. Both good and bad reasons. It makes their cheeks match their lips. and It makes their voices go all funny too all stops and starts. Hands flutter too. It takes a little while for Marina to read their tones. Because she has seen blushes happen for both good and bad embarrassment.
Oh And Anger. Anger makes humans faces red too. As well as makes them loud and shout. That bit sometimes scares her? it reminds her too much of titan.
But Blushing. it's pretty. like coral and fish. Pink and red and all the tones and shades in between.
Troy says aloud his theories of Marina being colour blind; like marine mammals. Or only seeing certain colours because the light won’t reach the same way where she was born? But Marina disagrees. Maybe humans see in light and tones better, sure. But Marina knows knows how yellow and blue look. And what pink is. Even if it might be different to the way he sees the world. No matter the colour tone or voice tone.
It is just that In the water of the ocean, such colours go dull? regardless of her sharper eye sight, the deeper you go the muddier they look. poisonous animals must evolve brighter and brighter patterns to have their warnings be spotted.
Plus some pigments aren't as readily available. great Pacifica artists struggle to mix such shades that will pop in pastel homes. Here with direct unfitted sunlight, pinks and reds are bright and bold. Vibrant even.yes vibrant pink and red blushes.
Well, actually The Commander goes closer to purple when he’s very angry. Or a red stripe like a lion fish, wide across his face. The stripe is a very big warning Shore’s in one of his moods.
Troy gets two little spots on his cheeks to blush. His eyebrows either go into attack mode if he's cross. or they shoot way up near his hair line like he is suprised.
When Phones blushes sometimes its up his neck too. rising like a thermometer. And three times Marina has seen it is so red it had hidden his scales- no what were they called? Freckles. He will blush red he loses his freckles. This is because he ‘tans better’. (Marina think’s that’s to do with sunshine but again isn’t yet very certain.)
Some times a blush will do that, hide freckles. Or in Fishers case make them show up more. He doesn’t have as many as Phones. Fisher’s ears go pink too. Marina had originally thought this must hurt.
(He and Sara Coral are a good match in this way. They will look good together, even with Fisher's blushing as he asked her to stay. Sara's black skin, goes an even richer red undertone, a dark cherry to Fisher's raspberry. Even if its really subtle to the others. It will be two terrain years till Marina meets her? But when Sara blushed the heat also radiated off from her, so she can't cover it very well bless her.)
