I saw that there was something called “Kapril” going around, where you draw Kayo in April. I decided to participate because I used to draw TAG characters all the time! 😭 I can’t believe it’s been eight years… if you had told me then that I would still be drawing TAG characters in 8 years… 🫠
This month my Tumblr turned one year old! Thank you Thunderfam for such a lovely welcome (seriously the best fandom!). It's been FAB getting to know you all. My notepad has never been fuller of WIPs that are in serious need of editing...and I love it!
Still my largest piece of art to date - Thunderbirds wall mural!
I've managed to start around five (no exaggeration) new stories this week, this snippet being one of them. I've been writing and writing (most of it terribly) but it's been cathartic.
How many of these new pieces will survive past a chapter or two, or ever see the light of day? I cannot say. Some may end up becoming too big to continue but, for now at least, it's all fun!

Was some of this thinking simply petulant behaviour from a man who would have much rather seen a fair few of those 'reforming' criminals remain behind bars for the rest of their pitiful lives? Yes. But Wayne wasn't going to admit that to anyone.
And he certainly wasn't going to admit it to Kayo.
Sitting across from her at lunch — a rarity for the both of them these days, what with their busy schedules — Wayne made sure to keep that confession to himself. Truthfully, he had missed his friend and he had been hoping their catch-up would avoid the perilous subject of work.
Being out on the field didn't feel the same anymore without Kayo there along for the ride. Once upon a time he had begrudgingly accepted her help. Now, many months and many missions later, he was lonely without her witty comebacks and quick thinking. None of the other soldiers he worked alongside were as talented as she had been. He had even begun to miss her smile.
Wayne had often thought about trying to convince her to join the GDF — her skill set alone would have been highly appreciated — but he knew she would never leave behind her brothers or International Rescue. He respected her for that.
Kapril netted a Mermay!

Some of my OLD Thunderbirds fan art 🙈 The first three are from 8 years ago… @idontknowreallywhy wanted me to share them with the rest of the Thunderbirds Are Go fans 🙃 They’re a LITTLE embarrassing and the photo quality is AWFUL… but oh well.
I was a traditional artist back then ☺️💕
The last picture of Kayo is my most recent piece, so you can compare 🌷
Well done to SOS Part 2 for being the best episode voted for by the fandom!
It beat out 77 other episodes and made it through 6 rounds and now it's official, SOS Part 2 has been voted by the fandom as the best episode of Thunderbirds Are Go!! 🎉
Thank you to everyone who voted and took part in the showdown! 💛
Well, you all asked for a rinse, repeat, and most of you wanted prompts ASAP, so welcome again to FishTank Week, 2024 edition! We had such a fun time last year bringing out all our yellow and green and fiiiiish and music. I hope 2024 brings new ideas, new inspiration, and always all the FishTank things.
FishTank? Yes, Fishtank, the name we use in the thunderfam for the brother relationship of Virgil and Gordon. Brotp for some, but otherwise still so fun to explore anyway!
When is FishTank Week? This year it'll run from Sunday May 12th through Saturday May 18th. The significance of the week? Loosely calculated as the day between their birthdays, but honestly any excuse 💚💛
How do I celebrate FishTank Week? Like last year, we are releasing a series of prompts (see below). If they inspire you to write or create art, you can choose to post those on the exact day or anytime that week. Fic, Reblogs, Recs, and Art are welcome and appreciated all week long. Anything's welcome, so don't forget mood boards, music, head canons. Whatever you can think of!
We'll be active that week as well reblogging, and with some QOTDs and daily posts reminding of the prompt(s).
I'm not interested in FishTank: *hugs* totally fine. Our tags this year will be #fishtankweek and #fishtankweek2024 if you want to block them.
Questions: Reblog, comment, or you are also welcome to reach out to me directly.
Thanks to @emtb319 and @idontknowreallywhy for collaborating this year. And @gumnut-logic for letting me use a daily dose screen shot for the below.
Prompts - we've added some options within the prompts and some alternates for you to use as you like. Inspiration is the goal, and the only guideline is FishTank. The others can make an appearance too. We won't make you clean TB 4 for having a wayward Tracy, Kyrano, Creighton-Ward, or others around for the fun. But definitely Virgil and Gordon.
