The three amigos

Happy birthday, Gus. (3 April)

From: @ArmstrongSpace twitter.

I touched you for only a fortnight.

Thunderfam opinion

It has been suggested that the rockets are secondary to the eyebrows.

Thoughts?

Be honest, Thunderfam.

The ships and idealistic future and the family feels are wonderful but if it wasn’t for the eyebrows would you REALLY care?

Also never noticed that Scott's are actually the biggest. I strongly believe that he had an epic mono brow in his teens

Headcanon accepted.

Altho… the only reason they are the biggest is because Virg spends hours shaping his. When the hair is that pristine he wouldn’t be happy with rogue brows messing up the look…

Headcanon 2.0 accepted , amendments to be published before close of business.

There's definitely a fair bit of eyebrow shaping going on. Look at Gordon's in particular.

Maybe the rockeys can somehow be controlled by the eyebrows and the two are deployed simultaneously?

Eyebrow shaping gives me the concept of eyebrow shears…like hedge clippers.

This may be proof of my long work day.

Hubby suggested that the rockets could be powered by the eyebrows.

This could be interpreted as ‘powered by eyebrow clippings’ or ‘powered by eyebrow kinetic energy’.

I may need a holiday.

Or some eyebrows 🤪

I also had the thought that if the power of the eyebrows could somehow be harnessed then the rockets would have environmentally friendly energy to burn!! (So to speak).

There's definitely an entire language to be explored in the various deployments of the Tracy eyebrows.

I also can imagine if any of those boys were to have an errant eyebrow hair growing wild there would be no shortage of siblings volunteering to (sneakily, and without warning) pluck the offending hair.

(My hubby used to be able to sprout a single eyebrow hair that would grow in completely the wrong direction compared to all the rest, which would appear seemingly overnight at twice the length of all the others! Whenever I noticed it I would tell him, he would tell me to rip it out, then he would yelp in pain when I did.)

Be careful with all this eyebrow talk. @flyboytracy has some history with eyebrow displacement of horror and hilarity.

Perhaps proof of concept would be if they fall out of the sky without their eyebrows.

Could Virgil still fly Two when his were burnt off?

Hmm, that’s a fic that needs to be written…though poor Scotty would have some kind of seizure.

Also, @flyboytracy has all da skillz. They be like Johnny and terrifying if they go darkside 😁 We should tremble in terror lest they wield the eyebrow clippers with dark purpose.

(Considering fic today)

and you wanna scream don't call me "kid" don't call me "baby" look at this godforsaken mess that you made me you showed me colors you know i can't see with anyone else

What went before

Scott demonstrates why his imaginary counterpart is such a bad influence because of course he’s going somewhere he shouldn’t be.

But it does mean we (and Scott) finally get to see Virgil’s picture.

💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚

By the time he got down to the infirmary, Scott was hobbling slightly and this irritated him. It certainly wasn’t helping with his need to be stealthy. He paused for a moment in the corridor and wrapped his hands tightly around each foot in turn, as if pressing the dressings into place would speed up the healing and prevent the cuts from reopening. He didn’t have the time or energy for that right now. Again he wished he’d slowed down, just a little, and avoided creating an unnecessary distraction with a pointless injury.

But how could he slow down when a brother was in danger? When anyone was in danger? When the split second could make all the difference? Everyone told him he had to… Virgil, Kayo, John… even Gordon lost the plot and yelled at him on occasion but Scott just didn’t see how he was supposed to make that call. How did everyone else see that bright line demarking “this far but not that far”? He knew he had to find it, learn to see it… if only because, as Virgil kept pointing out, Alan was beginning to follow in his footsteps and he’d never forgive himself if the kid got hurt because of it.

Awwwh " short stuff" 😭

I confess I don’t know precisely where/when I picked that one up… I suspect I stole it from @flyboytracy (apologies if so) but it has a vice grip on me so I’m calling it fanon now.

I think this one's my fave:

but short stuff belongs to us all.

I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.

Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

pov: you’ve been transported to the 17th century

#in the article it says that the sailboat sailors were concerned because they could not be towed quickly because of the kind of boat#so they asked Götheborg what type of ship they were and warned that they would not be able to go above a certain speed#and götheborg went ' we are also a sailboat. 50 meters length. no worries :) '#and the poor sailboat sailors were just like ' That's not possible. they have to be messing with us' and then the ship Rolled Up (via bunjywunjy)

I'm crying. Here's a photo of a sailor from the Götheborg watching over the little sailboat in tow:
