Thinking About Thunderbird Shadow's Bird Feet Like...

My babies 🥺

Also this is 100% their song, no I will not be taking criticism.

Okay- so I’m the first person to hate when the one token main girl character ends up as the romantic lead- BUT THE FACT THAT ROOSTER AND PHOENIX CLEARLY HAD HISTORY AND IT WAS QUASI-EDITED OUT OF TOP GUN: MAVERICK TO MAKE IT MORE PLATONIC IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM 

HIM LOOKING AT PHOENIX WHEN SINGING “I WANNA TELL THE WORLD THAT YOU’RE MINE MINE MINE MINE”

THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT HIM 

THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER

In Short: MAKE MY PARENTS MARRY DAMMIT

Bonus:

@callsign-daydream haha nice 😂

Rooster: I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating…and it gets everywhere.

“… But most of all, I’m thankful for my family.”

Thiiiiis… didn’t get done as early as I wanted it to, but it’s still technically Thursday (and therefore Thanksgiving) in some parts of the US, so I won’t fuss. But I wanted to do some nice vignettes of the family having Thanksgiving together. Especially after the things that have happened in Season 2, I think they all need some family time to recuperate! I was planning on adding Kayo and Brains in the Scott picture but i just ran out of time and energy after today. But I hopefully can do a little follow up picture with them so they’re not left out <333

So here you go, Thanksgiving with the Tracys! Featuring Virgil, Grandma and MAX making the meal (with some possible off-screen help from EOS), setting the table with Gordon and Alan (sword fights with the butter knives are an extra service), EOS making sure to hold all the heavy, breakable dishes for stil-slightly-space-sick John to serve himself with (headcanon that he came down with just enough time to not be a bed-ridden blob in his room, but he’s still not very used to Earth), and of course, Scott leading the family in a toast.

Iceman: Don't do anything stupid, Mav.

Maverick: Define stupid.

“Don’t you know how you’ve changed me? Strange how I finally see

I found Home You’re my Home Stay with me.” ~Home (reprise)“ From the finale of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Broadway)

I know, I know, this is Virgil week and what am I doing putting up John art, but I’ve been working on this for a full week (or as much as the humidity allows) because I watched a local production of Beauty and the Beast and the song spoke to me. So I had to draw from it. I may see about coloring it (or having someone else color it, *wink wink*). But either way it was just so much fun getting to draw John and EOS in their uniforms again. <33

*Phoenix hangs up on Hangman mid-sentence*

Hangman: She hung up on me! Some people just can't take a joke.

Rooster: *without looking up* It helps when they're actually funny.

@shirubie Ooh I like it!

Thunderfam, what's an obscure ship you have that you can't really explain?

I'll go first.

Remember Kate from Grandma Tourismo?

This girl:

She's sweet and resourceful and instantly makes friends with Grandma Tracy. And she runs a hat shop in the desert.

Well, the ship in question is her and Virgil.

Even though, despite being in the same episode they don't interact at all.

But, my twelve year old brain thought it was an excellent idea so now you may pry Kate x Virgil from my cold dead hands.

maverick knows his pilots miss him because of the little things they share. the texts he gets and the pictures. always at random, sporadic and unprompted.

things like —

fanboy telling him they nailed a test run for a new mission because of the way mav taught them to fly.

you two would’ve done that all on your own. proud of you.

phoenix telling him she’s up for promotion and hoping he can make it to the ceremony since it’s his fault she’s gotten even better in the air.

you were always going to soar, phoenix. i’ll be there.

coyote telling him, not for the first time, how grateful he is that maverick knows the importance of getting everyone home alive.

nothing wrong with a little hope, right?

just. small things that make mav’s chest ache every time with something proud and fond and soft because he may not be flying for the navy anymore, but these kids are absolutely making sure he still feels like he is.

Gordon: As your best friend-

Kayo: Rigby is my best friend.

Gordon: AS YOUR BEST FRIEND

i swear this was meant to be happy but i have nothing to post atm
